Which Massage Chair Or Table?

When choosing massage therapy equipment it's vital that you decide EXACTLY what you want it for as this makes the job of finding the right table or chair much easier. It also depends on what kind of massage you'll be performing and who your customers are. For example sports massage therapists probably need a bed that is easy to get up and down so that they can get their clients in the right position to work on a wide range of muscles, while if you are just doing back massages a simple table should suffice.

You also need to decide where you are going to be doing the massage. The professional massage therapist will probably want to get two massage tables eventually - one that is portable and can be carried to the clients house and a more advanced one that isn't so portable and stays in the office. If you are going to be doing lots of treatments on friends and family a foldable basic massage table will probably be best for you.

Massage tables are much more important that chairs in most cases, so a table should probably be your first purchase and then a chair comes later if you find that you need it. It's much better to do things this way around as you might do a few massages and realise that you don't need a chair after all which will save you a lot of money!

If later on you do decide you need a massage chair then you should now have a better idea of what you need it for and whether you need it to be portable. Chances are you will, so this narrows down the options and allows you to choose a chair that fits onto your table.

The most important thing when buying a massage table is to do your research! Don't waste money on inferior products that won't be up to the job that you want it for. Your massage clients won't thank you and neither will your back!
