Unless you are intending to try to find work in an operational clinic or have the money to set one up yourself, a portable
massage table will be an essential tool for your massage practice. Massage is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissue
and joints of the body and using a portable massage table can make giving and receiving a massage that much easier.
Massage offers many diverse physiological effects, which are primarily due to the therapist's hands moving over the body
in a manner that affects all its systems - in particular, the muscular by decreasing muscle tension and feelings of stress; the
circulatory by reducing heart rate and blood pressure; the lymphatic by improving the flow of blood and lymph fluids in the
body; and the nervous by inducing the relaxation response.
Most important, massage therapy helps meet the human need for the caring and affirmative touch. No wonder so many
people find massage therapy so helpful in so many ways! After all, even the great Hippocrates who learnt this art from
Herodicus way back in the 4th Century B.C., had advised thus in so many words when he said - "The physician must be
acquainted with many things and assuredly with rubbing" (the ancient Greek and Roman term for massage).
PUT YOUR ‘CARDS’ ON THE TABLE.
Ancient Massage was essentially a floor massage. However today, as in all other spheres, technology has taken the driver’s
seat to produce massage tables that are not only classy and comfortable for the client, but also provides access
convenience and resilience for the masseur.
Typically, a portable massage table has pairs of legs at each end, and two pairs of recessed centre legs. This system offers
the advantage of carrying safe working loads of up to 300kg without any visible degree of table flex or torque so that the
masseur’s effort goes into his client and is not wasted by bending the table. Fibre and aluminium are increasingly used in
the making of portable massage tables since these materials offer essential benefits of tenacity, durability, and low weight.
Exotic aluminium portable massage tables are designed to be squeak-free and come in custom sizes, with adjustable
height and backrests; replete with face cradle, tapered, high-resilient, foam-cushioned, sewn edges with shoulder
recesses to prevent restriction of blood flow to the arms when they hang over the sides of the table. What’s more, this
ingenious piece of design folds just as quickly and easily into a compact carrying case! So, now you can put all your cards
on the table – a portable massage table!
