Manipulate
The Body And Mind With A Portable Massage
Table
By Mike

A
portable massage table can be very essential
tool. Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation
of the soft tissue and joints of the body
and using a portable massage table can
make giving and receiving a massage that
much easier. A massage offers many diverse
physiological effects, which are primarily
due to the therapist's hands moving over
the body in a manner that affects all
its systems - in particular, the muscular
by decreasing muscle tension and feelings
of stress; the circulatory by reducing
heart rate and blood pressure; the lymphatic
by improving the flow of blood and lymph
fluids in the body; and the nervous by
inducing the relaxation response. Most
important, massage therapy helps meet
the human need for the caring and affirmative
touch. No wonder so many people find massage
therapy so helpful in so many ways! After
all, even the great Hippocrates who learnt
this art from Herodicus way back in the
4th Century B.C., had advised thus in
so many words when he said - "The
physician must be acquainted with many
things and assuredly with rubbing"
(the ancient Greek and Roman term for
massage).
Of
the different kinds of massage therapies
available, the most sought after are the
Swedish massage, Vibrational Healing Massage
Therapy, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Cranial
Sacral Balancing, Chi Nei Tsang, and the
increasingly popular Kerala Ayurvedic
massage therapy.
Put
your cards on the table.
Ancient
Massage was essentially a floor massage.
However today, as in all other spheres,
technology has taken the driver’s
seat to produce massage tables which are
not only classy and comfortable for the
client, but also provides access convenience
and resilience for the masseur.
Typically,
a portable massage table has pairs of
legs at each end, and two pairs of recessed
centre legs. This system offers the advantage
of carrying safe working loads of up to
300kg without any visible degree of table
flex or torque so that the masseur’s
effort goes into his client and is not
wasted by bending the table. Fibre and
aluminium are increasingly used in the
making of portable massage tables since
these materials offer essential benefits
of tenacity, durability and low weight.
Exotic aluminium portable massage tables
are designed to be squeak-free and come
in custom sizes, adjustable height and
backrest; replete with face cradle, tapered,
high-resilient, foam-cushioned, sewn edges
with shoulder recesses to prevent restriction
of blood flow to the arms when they hang
over the sides of the table. What’s
more, this ingenious piece of design folds
just as quickly and easily into a compact
carrying case! So, now you can put all
your cards on the table – a portable
massage table!
