How to Set Up a Table for a Swedish Massage

Video Transcript

" Welcome back! I’m Tunisia Woods here on behalf of Hello Beautiful Mobile Massage Therapy Group, for Expert Village. Now, I want to tell you guys about the massage table. The thing about the massage table is that you always want to have it at a height that is conducive for your height, because we don’t want to hurt ourselves giving someone else a relaxing experience. Every massage table has a way of being adjusted. Most tables, as the one I have here, will have several slots that you can adjust to your height level. Now mine I have on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 because for my height, I can easily get to the client without hurting my back or my legs. This is the rule of thumb: have the massage table hitting your knuckles, your first set of knuckles; but some people like to have it lower or higher, so play around with you massage table so you’ll know what’s best for you. Also, you want to make sure that your client is comfortable. You want to have them always tell you weather they need their legs elevated or they need their headrest adjusted, and you can do that all with your table. Thank you for listening!"
