Massage Tables Vs. Massage Chairs Which One's Right for You?
Posted by MassageTools Staff on Aug 24th 2016
When it comes to massage tables versus massage chairs, both have advantages. A full-size massage table allows a full-body massage, but it takes up more room than a massage chair. A massage chair can zero in on those back, shoulder, arms and neck pains when your client is seated. However, it's not a choice for massage therapists who want to offer full-body massages. A chair massage treatment takes less time than a full-service massage on a spa table.
Of course, the chair is lighter in weight and usually more portable. Plus, your client doesn't have to undress. So, think location. Do you want to offer quick massages in public places, in office settings or in home visits? Is your space limited? Or, do you want to invest in a full-table setup. Of course, many of today's full-size massage tables are also portable.
Think access, too. While a full-sized massage table allows you to offer just about any type of massage, a massage chair allows you to quickly position your client and get up close instead of reaching over the table. Many of today's resorts and full-service massage businesses choose both to serve clients who want the full treatment and are willing to invest the time for that service, and for those clients who don't want to disrobe. They just want a quick answer to those tensed up muscles. Adding the right accessories can expand your services, regardless of whether you prefer a chair or table.
