Massage Table – Tips On Picking The Perfect One!
It is widely recognized as a form of relieving stress, inducing sleep and helping tired muscles relax – yes, we are talking about a massage! But, for a massage to be all this, the perfect massage table is very important; so, here are some useful tips on choosing the best massage table!
It may be that you are taken in by the number of fabulous designs massage tables are now available in, but it is advisable to wait and compare these for quality and pricing against others existing in the growing market so your back massage is more soothing than ever!
Look for the basics of a massage table along the concepts that make it a dependable and worthy proposition to invest in for your good health: check out various designs, type of construction, comfort and firmness factors besides the weight (both of the table and on your pocket!)
A good massage table needs to be not only good to look at, but functional and practical as well for your added ease of transportation; choose one that is portable and made of good quality, whatever your budget.
Check out various parts of the massage table that takes your fancy and look for design details such as comfort and ease of use, even if it the age-old folding massage table pattern, which has a skirt hiding legs that can be altered to suit different height requirements.
There are also massage tables available for extra storage and some even come with side-trays and lighting fixture scope so these can be closed down when not in use and store oils, sponges, cloths and incense etc. out of view and safely, but handy if needed.
The typical table-tops measure 30 inches wide and 76 inches in length; they have rounded corners so covers are easy to put on and no sharp edges protrude when the massage expert has to stretch across a client. Most good quality massage tables come with an added foaminsert that has a built-in face hole and padded table skirts so no hardware is apparently sticking out. Usually, they also have easily adjustable legs that can be operated with one knob and have center support braces to hold every part in place, held together by steel cables that do not allow the massage table to collapse under weight.
One can go in for the DIY type also and put together various locks, levers, knobs and screws to assemble the massage table of their requirement by following simple instructions, but this was mostly for the older version (with airplane wings that folded for easy storage and locked tight when in use). This variety cut back on using wood on the supports or legs to curtail weight, but all massage tables – whatever the pattern – do use generous amount of padding and plastic washers so the session is comfortable and peaceful.
If keen on one with wooden parts, check to see these are all curved nicely, sanded down and finished proper to give the surface an elegant look and remain snag-free; opting for the new soft feeling, tough-acting vinyl is a good idea for your massage table investment because it can stand up to a lot of wear and tear subject to body oils, sweat and toxins etc. besides being easy to clean.
So, go for quality (perhaps even add in the neck and leg pillow for added pampering) and choose a massage table that offers more facilities and rub up someone the right way!
