Needing A Good Table

[Mahesh N]

I am still in school but in need of a good table. I would like to order it within the next couple days. I know what I need and want, but I can not find a package, or a website where I can basically create my own table. Any ideas?

There are many options depending on the table you are interested in. You can sometimes order through your school at a discount. You may also be able to order directly from the manufacturer, or they can at least tell you how to contact a distributor.
And, of course, the lovely http://www.massagewarehouse.com is a good place to shop. :wink:

Have you looked in our Tools of the Trade section. There is a LOT of info in there about people's ideas on tables and places to look.

I have already tried massagewarehouse.com and I could only get the basic table, it never asked me if I wanted rounded corners, recesses, or anything like that? I know what options I want, yes, they are mostly the breast recesses, the length and width, color, headrest and foam padding. It is a basic table just with the breast recesses, and a student package if possible because I wil need the bolster, holster and bottle.

MAny schools have a manufacturer come to the school. Is your school planning this?
I strongly recommend Oakworks. I would stay away from the breast recesses(imo). I too thought they were a great idea until I got a massage on one. I am amply chested and was very uncomfortable. Also, since they are fixed you will not be able to adjust them for client comfort. One of the manufacturers(and yes I think it is Oakworks) offers a table with different material padding the breast area....tempur like. So, theere is a "give" to the clients breast area should they need it.
Just looked them up, here's the link.

We will not have a manufacturer come in to our school. I like the recesses in the tables at our school it not only is good for the female clients comfort while on their stomach, but it also helps when anyone is on their back and reaching under them for scapula and things, I have not learned this quite yet, but my instructor worked on me one day and did this and he says it is easier to do with the recesses. I am not totally sure what he did, so I can not explain it well. I will check that website out. Thanks.

I am not into the breast recesses (pretty busty myself), but I guess if you get a with them and make sure to ask before your client gets the massage, if they want them removed or not, you'd be ok.
I recall in one of the table discussions there was info on a newer table coming out that didn't have recesses, but had a re-structured padding in the breast area that helped with moving your hand under the scaps as well as feeling more cushy for the breast area. You may want to see if you can search that out in the section I mentioned before. (nybor7
gave the link for the company with a pic above).

Thank you for the information, I am trying to order my table within the next couple days, but want to make sure I get everything I need. With asking my client about the recesses, I would definently do that.
