Power of Touch Couple's Massage Workshops
Give The Gift That Lasts A Lifetime
Buying a Massage Table
As we talk about in the workshop, the absolute best place to give and receive a massage is on a massage table. They are designed to make giving a massage much easier and healthier, and are far superior to beds, etc. especially if you are trying to get any deep work done.
Here are some suggestions on what to look for when purchasing your table and you can jump to the bottom of the page for some recommendations.
My bias is for a wider table for several reasons. Many of them relate to my massage practice and the fact that I work on a lot of different body types. I would rather have room to spare then have my clients almost falling off the table. I also bend and twist my clients a lot, so I like to have room to do that and I get on the table with my clients for Thai Massage, Shiatsu and other dynamic techniques…a 30″ table does not provide me with enough surface area to do these things comfortably. So I use a 34″ table which might be overkill for many of you, but just right for others (think of Goldilocks and her new friends).
My suggestion is to find your sweet spot somewhere between 30″ and 34″ and remember there are trade-offs. Wider tables cost more money, are heavier, are harder to reach across for some people and can be hard to find accessories for…but they sure are comfy!
There are established high quality manufacturers like Oakworks, Earthlite and Custom Craftworks which I would recommend for professional therapists (and couples with expensive tastes and large budgets) and then there are good quality tables in the middle like the ones that Costco sells (great warranty here) and some clients have told me great things about the lower priced tables and customer service at Best Massage.
There are also many places that sell most of the brands listed above and more like Massage Warehouse and Massage King.
Last but not least is Craigslist and Ebay. There are great deals on both of these (more so on craigslist if you are a good negotiator). Make sure you check the seller rating on Ebay and follow safe practices on Craigslist.
A Couple of Table Recommendations

I took several couple massage classes before, but Joe's class was absolutely far the best of all. The class was very thorough and he is an excellent teacher. The class was very informative, entertaining and educating. Totally recommended if you are interested to learn a different way of giving a more effective massage.

An amazingly powerful experience for us as a couple that has been together for 46years. This 3 hour session with Joe taught us a new way to nurture and please each other in an enlightening way. He put us at ease right away and the studio was very comfortable. This workshop is a must for couples who are dedicated to continuing to build their relationship in a passionate, nurturing, healthy way.

These guys are great. Very comfortable setting, not awkward at all. We had an awesome time, learned a lot, and they checked in frequently to give advice or teach a more specific technique.
