One of the most important features of portable massage tables for therapists is weight. It doesn't do much good to buy a massage table, and then discover you cannot easily move it between locations. Portable tables range in weight from less than 40 pounds to over 75 pounds. For portability, make sure you understand how small the table folds. Check to see if the massage table and accessories come with a carrying bag, to ease your trips between clients. While you are evaluating weight, make sure to keep this second factor in mind. How strong and stable is the table? Portable massage tables need to be nearly as strong as one in your office. Your clients weights don't change, just the location and style of the table. Your table needs to support 500 pounds or more. Don't just think about your clients weight, but potentially your own in addition. Do you use rest your weight on, or against, the table during a therapy station? How much downward pressure do you apply during any of your massage techniques? The 500 pounds is total capacity, not just your clients weight. Not only do portable massage tables need to be strong, they must appear strong. Your clients need to feel comfortable climbing on the table. They won't relax if the table appears flimsy, they need the confidence it will hold their weight easily. Portable massage therapy tables must be comfortable. Check into the type and thickness of padding on the table. Pay attention to the shape and padding for the face support. Make sure the covering is comfortable and easy to maintain. Leather and Vinyl are the two most popular due to ease of cleanup and durability. Do you need height adjustment? Not all portable massage tables have support for adjusting the height. If this feature is important for you and your clients, don't try to save a few dollars and get a table with a static height. You'll end up being frustrated, and replacing the table. Buying a portable massage table for your practice is an investment. To make sure the investment is for the long haul, get a high quality table. Check into the manufacturer's warranty. Don't settle for a short warranty period. Many manufacturers offer 5 year and longer warranties. It is good investment to spend a few more dollars to acquire a table having all the features you need, and designed to last. It is time to take your practice on the road. Choose one of the great portable massage tables for therapists on the go, and increase your opportunities. It is an investment which will give you a high return on your investment.
