Massage tables are not all created equal. There are a few noteworthy manufacturers of well constructed portable massage tables while the vast majority of tables are cheap imports from China. The old adage that “you get what you pay for”, definitely applies to massage tables and reiki tables. If you’re thinking, why should I spend more for a U.S. made massage table? Let’s consider a few things.
Massage tables made by Earthlite, Oakworks and Custom Craftworks are manufactured with attention to every detail. These massage tables usually come with lifetime warranties on their frames and 3-5 year standard warranties on foam and upholstery. This means you’re getting a well made massage table that’s built to last and won’t break down. You’ll notice the high quality of production materials including PVC free vinyl, quality hardwood, dense multi-layer foam systems and more. Put these tables next to a cheap import and you will see the difference. A high quality massage table is an essential tool if you’re a professional massage therapist. It will likely last many years without ever needing to be replaced.
Let’s also consider your competition. The world of massage therapy has become very popular with numerous therapists, day spas and chiropractic offices offering massage therapy. The quality of your massage table can be a key factor in differentiating your services versus your competition. Clients will notice if the table is wobbly, squeaks or feels uncomfortable when they’re lying in the prone position. Usually clients are paying good money and don’t want to be distracted by the creaking or cracking of a cheap table. We’re focusing on massage therapists here, but the exact same can be said for tattoo artists, chiropractors, reiki masters, physical therapists and many other professionals that use massage tables in their daily operation.
Finally, it’s not worth the liability. Massage therapists are required to maintain liability insurance for a reason. If you risk your client’s wellness or your business with an inexpensive import that might collapse, insurance might not cover it and you could end up injuring yourself or even worse...get sued!
