Massage Couches
Massage couches come in many varieties and are also referred to as massage tables, therapy tables, and chiropractic tables. This article discusses several options and configurations and some of the most common brands I know about.
A good massage couch is comfortable, easy to clean, and configurable. Comfort comes via a massage head rest, heavy padding, and sometimes even a massage heating pad for those who tend to get cold. Electric and hydraulic versions of these beauty couches are made which also allow the elderly or injured ease in getting onto the couch. Some treatment couches also allow for adjustment as the couch is segmented and can allow for slight angles. A good head rest is important. Whereas some people may like an orthopedic pillow for their head you can also find a head rest with a hole in the center to allow comfortable breathing.
When looking for a professional massage table a brand that is searched for are the earthlite and earthgear, and oakworks massage tables. They offer easy to clean surfaces, comfortable padding, and configurability. Portable chiropractic tables are also popularfor those who make house calls with their business or like to do massage demonstrations or seminars.
You may wish to get a massage cover or massage sheets for your equipment for both comfort and hygienic reasons. A masseuse needs to be very rigourous about their patient comfort and must maintain high hygiene standards for their clients.
They can be made up of many different materials and options and there is a lot to consider when making your choice. When choosing your massage supplies you may also wish to consider used or discount massage tables for sale as they are usually quite durable. Wood, plastic, and metal products are on the market.
Don’t be afraid to get onto the equipment. Will your client feel safe on it? Is it wobbly? Is it adjustable enough to allow for the massage practitioner to manipulate the client with maximmum comfort to both him and the client. You have to think about yourself as well. If its a bad design and there are pieces of metal sticking out underneath and getting in your way then it will affect your ability to give your best effort.
Massage bolsters can really help patient comfort. There are Thai massage bolsters, round bolsters, and several shapes for max comfort. Small handles on the side of the bolster is common allowing them to be grabbed easily. Armrest bolsters are appreciated by some customers as they go along the sides of the table giving extra support.
In summary, there is a wide variety of massage product. There are even massage chairs. One piece of massage equipment is often versatile enough to be used by chiropractors, massage practioners, and even in a spa.
I wanted to talk about the mobile massage couch I helped build in amsterdam.
Once You Get Off The Massage Couch
Have you ever tried a new form of therapy - be it acupuncture, osteopathy, reiki, massage etc and felt really good afterwards?
The client, fully clothed apart from their feet, will lie on a massage couch whilst the practitioner works on their feet and ankles. Gentle pressure is applied to each pressure point…
A battery powered, couch on wheels, providing free massages…
This will happen privately so you will not feel uncomfortable then you will be asked to lie face down on a massage couch, there will be a towel for you to cover yourself. Only when you are comfortable will the massage therapist enter.
