It is unlikely that anyone will dare to challenge all the positive aspects of the massage . Under the skilled hands of the masseur, the body acquires elasticity and lightness, becoming stronger and healthier. But to achieve the maximum possible effect can only be provided full relaxation. And a considerable role in this is played by how correctly the equipment for the massage cabinet is chosen. In the intricacies of choosing a stationary massage table, let's sort it out together.
Advantages of stationary massage tables
As you know, massage tables can be portable (folding) and stationary. The former have a relatively low weight and can be used for outreach work. But in most of them, weight reduction is achieved by reducing reliability, so they quickly fail. In comparison with them stationary tables are more stable and are designed for a larger load - individual models can withstand a dynamic load of up to 400 kg. On average, this figure is about 250 kg, compared with 200 kg for portable tables. Stationary massage tables with electric drive allow you to change the angle of inclination of the tabletop with minimum effort or adjust it in height, and in most of them both actions can be performed simultaneously. In portable tables, these operations are performed only manually.
How to choose a stationary massage table?
Do not get confused when buying and make the right choice will help our cheat sheet. So, what should you pay attention to when choosing a massage table?
- Price. We will make a reservation at once that a professional massage table by default can not be cheap. On how comfortable it will be for the client during the procedure, it directly depends on whether he will come to a repeated session. Therefore, the choice of a massage table or couch should be approached with a full measure of responsibility, especially when it comes to stationary equipment. Even the most expensive products of a well-known company before committing a purchase are recommended to conduct a small "test drive": nothing should squeak, bulge or make an unpleasant smell. As for inexpensive falsifications "under the firm", then it is not necessary to contact them, even if at purchase they differ little from the original - in due course cheap materials will show themselves, as they say, in all its glory. A few can be saved only by registering a purchase in an online store, where the prices are lower, and the choice is greater compared to the exhibition halls.
- Dimensions. On how well the dimensions of the massage table will be chosen, the convenience of not only the client, but also the masseur himself depends. Ideal is the length of 2 meters - on such a table with comfort can accommodate a person even very tall. The optimal width of the table is 65 cm. If the width is smaller, it will be inconvenient for the patient, and for larger widths it is difficult for the masseur to work. The standard height of the tables without the possibility of adjustment is 75 cm, and with the presence of this adjustment ranges from 55 to 95 cm.
- The presence of additional devices. Good modern tables are equipped with additional armrests, headrests, arm rests and pillows designed to create maximum comfort for the client.
- Number of sections. Massage tables can be one-, two- and three-section. The first are monolithic structures, adjustable in height. At tables with two sections it is possible to change only the position of the head restraint, and the main part of the table top remains stationary. At three-section it is possible to lower and raise any of the parts of the table-top.
