Dream job masseur - What must a massage table be able to do?
What does a masseur do?
One of the most traditional health professions is that of the masseur. Thai massages were developed in India over two and a half thousand years ago, but it wasn't until the 20th century that massages arrived in our part of the world and became socially accepted. As a result, masseurs are now more recognized and are valued by both medical professionals and patients for their expertise. Masseurs treat their clients using various forms of massage and can also develop individual therapies upon request. The power of their hands alone can relieve muscle tension, alleviate pain, or simply provide comfort through tapping, kneading, and stroking. They also use various aids depending on the type of massage, such as
- vibration
- heat
- sounds
- essential oils
- medicinal baths
- wraps
- inhalation
The focus of the masseur is to promote health and help the patient's body achieve complete relaxation. A few minutes are already enough for the restorative effect to unfold.
The benefits of a massage
A massage has different effects depending on its form. Thai massages stimulate blood circulation and relax the muscles. An application based on the traditional Indian healing art of Ayurveda is particularly helpful for back pain and improves sleep quality. And after a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Nui, you will feel especially relaxed, and your skin will be sustainably cared for by the generously used oils. Furthermore, massages are suitable for improving wound healing, loosening connective tissue, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing mental well-being.
Massage tables - A checklist
To achieve these results, the right massage table is crucial. Whether stationary or mobile - it must be comfortable and provide everything the masseur needs for the respective application.
Mobile massage tables
Therapists who also massage outside the home need a mobile massage table. These can be easily folded and carried like a suitcase. It is important that you choose a table that is not too heavy for you. However, do not skimp on weight in the wrong places. For massages lasting longer than 30 minutes, the padding should be at least 7 cm thick to ensure that the client's relaxation is not compromised. You should also consider what features you need. A face hole or armrests can be crucial. There are also tables with adjustable back parts so that treatments can be performed while sitting. Our house brand Massunda offers you a wide selection of mobile massage tables, where you are sure to find what you need.
Stationary massage tables
Stationary tables are particularly stable and durable. The frames made of metal or wood have an elegant design, and together with matching covers, they attract all eyes in a practice. When selecting your new table, you should pay attention to the all-around switch. This allows you to adjust the height steplessly from all sides without having to interrupt the massage. Equally important are width and length. For example, those who offer sound bowl therapy can benefit from more surface area with a wider massage table. An example of an optimal massage table is the electric massage table BERLIN.
Wellness at the highest level
