How to select the right massage table?.

A massage table (also known as massage bed or massage couch) is probably the most important equipment that a bodywork therapist will need to purchase . Except of some oriental treatments, related to yoga, like Shiatsu and Thai massage, which are conducted on a mattress, most massage and beauty therapy will require the use of a massage table.

The first question will be what kind of treatments do you give? Most of the massage tables will cover the major therapy techniques but in some cases you may want to modify the model, for example, for Reflexology and Beauty Therapy you may ask for a table with an adjustable back rest.. For Osteopathy, Sport massage and Deep Tissue Massage you may prefer a firmer table , narrower and with adjustable height legs. For Aromatherapy, Reiki or Relaxing Massage you may look for a wider soft table.

The second question will be where? If you plan to do mobile work then you will look for a lightweight,  portable massage table, mostly an ultra light aluminium bed or light wooden massage table or a combination of aluminium and wooden tensor. A good light massage table will weight up to 10kgs.  If you plan to work from home or from a massage salon then you will be better with a fixed, electronic or hydraulic table which are  solider then the portable ones and normally last longer.  If you plan to work mostly from home but from time to time to go and see a client at his home then you can choose a portable medium weight of 10kg – 15kg which is solider then the ultra light massage table and can carry more components such as a back rest, adjustable height, face and arm rests  .

Ideally, you will purchase a solid bed for home/clinic and portable light bed for mobile work.

What height should the massage portable or non portable table be? The standard height of a massage table is 75 cm. To check for the right height  for you, simply make a fist and rest your hands at the side of your body. Your fists should reach the bed. If you are taller or shorter than average then you will need a specially made or adjustable height massage table. If more then one therapist will be working with the same massage table then an adjustable height massage table will be advisable.

What will be the right wide of the massage table? Normally massage tables for holistic/Swedish  massage are  of 60 to70 cm.  The wider the massage bed is, the more comfortable it is for the client, but will result heavier bed that will be less convenient for the therapist to move around . Therapists normally prefer the 70cm wide but if you are a short therapist you may find it easier to work with 60cm-65cm. The same is if you give sport massage , deep tissues or osteopath where the bed need to be as narrow as possible to allow the stretching movements

Wooden or aluminium? This is absolutely your own choice. In most cases, aluminium is lighter and more reliable, but a good quality wooden bed will be as light and reliable as an aluminium massage bed.

 Which manufacturer? After deciding on the type of bed you are looking for, you will have to compare between models available from different manufacturers.  You should also compare qualities, types of materials, years of guarantee offered, prices and how well is the service. Most manufacturers will have a variety of models to select from, try to get references and comments from other therapists and professionals.

Which technical features should I look for with new or second hand portable massage beds? As a beginner therapist your first massage table will probably be a portable one due to the flexibility given to move it around and for its lower price compared to expensive hydraulic massage beds, electronic massage beds, or even regular stationary massage beds. The most important technical feature to bear in mind when purchasing a portable massage bed is the stability of the bed. Open the massage table and place your hand firmly on top and try to rock the bed forward and backward (longitude-  face to foot) the bed should not rock.  If you feel that the table is dancing then avoid purchasing this model. Check the base of the massage bed for any loose or rusty parts and check the handles and the closing mechanize. Have a try and see if the base top is solid comfortable but not too soft.

How much? This is up to your budget. A good portable massage table will cost between 250-600 euros. You are warned from trying to buy a cheap table; some of them may look very nice on the advertisement but will not last long “cheap is expensive”. Also be aware of buying a second hand massage table, you may get stuck with no spare parts.
Lastly you would be advised to buy from a known company. We at the Mistiyan Naturaclass  Academy have carefully designed  portable massage beds that are meeting the necessary standards, using only high quality materials to meet C.E regulations. The Naturaclass massage bed models are very stable, height adjustable and have all the necessary accessories. Never the less they are relevantly economical to meet students and beginner therapist’s needs.  We also distribute massage beds from some Spanish manufacturers (as  Ecopostural LettinoVital and Camillas Rochi)  to give students and therapist better choice of models.
