Help please on massage couch

[EnWi]

I started my holistic course last week and need to order my couch in the next few days. I am particularly interested in a lightweight aliminium table as I hope to be doing quite a bit of mobile work to start with. I've done a bit of research and have found something suitable that is 11kg. Only thing is I've been told I really need one with a back rest - sorry if this sounds stupid as I'm just starting out..... but do I really need the back rest if I am just doing holistic massage. The weight seems to go up to around 16 kilos if I go for this option and having read a few posts on here re heavy tables I'd rather spend a bit more and get the best I can, so that I'm not lugging heavy equipment around with me when I'm out and about!

If you are going to be mobile then it may be better to go for the 11kg table. Say if the amount of times you will use the back rest is 10-15%, the benefit of having it is not as good as the benefit of having a light couch.

if that makes sense!

But if you think you may be mobile only about 15% of time the benefits of having a back rest when you want it may outweigh just needing a lightweight couch 15% of the time.

Massage tables with back rest with typical dimensions range from 16-21kg so 16kg is pretty good although in general comparison can be heavy for mobility

Take a look at my website below for more info on choosing and PM me if you need any more advice, ill help if i can
