Portable table for tall therapists?

[andy dufresne]

Hello,

I'm 6"3' tall and I wonder if you could point me to some tables that I could use without killing my back...


thanks a lot,

Albert

I am 6' and wanted to make sure my table would have the most flexibility with height. So, I got the Oakworks Nova (for many other reasons as well).

But, the Nova has 3 different height options to choose from. I think I went with the 26"-36" height and added the Shiatsu Cables so that I could release the table to be flat on the floor. Don't know if I will ever use it, but when I was in school, I wanted the most options available, not knowing what I would be doing in 10-20 years.

Oakworks Nova


As a side note, I have never gone above the 4th hole. As my body mechanics improved my table height got lower than I thought it would. Plus, now doing CranioSacral Therapy my table is a bit lower because I sit for most of the sessions.

I don't think you have to worry. Most tables go higher than anyone, even those as tall as you, will ever need. Also, most companies have extra height ranges that you can special order if you don't mind waiting a few weeks. The Oakworks Brian mentioned is fine, and I know the Eartlite Spirit would work as well.

I have Oakworks Wellspring, since I also wanted a portable table. This one is lighter than any others I found and it has a lot of height flexibility. But it also had a really high working weight.

Albert, you need to decide the height you like to work at. Measure it and then look at the table specs you are considering buying.
