Choosing a Massage Table

Whether you would like to become a licensed massage therapist or give and receive massages at home, you are going to want to get hold of a massage table. You will most likely want to get a portable massage table unless you have a dedicated space for massage and can sacrifice the space.

As a licensed massage therapist who has received many massages in different settings, I have found that the face cradle is the most important component in making for a comfortable massage table. A poorly fitting/designed face cradle makes it hard to relax as your neck and most likely your jaw too will be tense from compensating for the lack of support. You’ll do okay with the face cradles that come with a reputable maker of massage tables, but I can attest to the comfort of my face cradle made by Earthlite. This face cradle consists of a memory foam cushion on top of rubber supports that move independently, adjusting itself to the contours of your face. The result is a supremely comfortable fit and more relaxation on the part of the person receiving the massage. Read more…

That is, while massaging the foot, pressure is applied at certain reflex points on the feet. The pressure can relieve the whole body of pain and aches.
