Frequently asked questions about massage tables

Do you have questions about choosing or using a massage table? Below you will find the most frequently asked questions about our folding, electric, and stationary massage tables. Including tips for professionals such as massage therapists, physical therapists, and beauticians.

Which massage table is best suited to my practice?

That depends on your work and preferences.

  • Folding massage tables are ideal for mobile therapists who have to travel a lot with their table. This allows you to unfold the massage table directly at your clients' location. A folding massage table is also useful if you want to be flexible with your space.
  • In many cases, it is possible to view the massage tables in advance or request a demonstration. Please contact us to discuss the options or to make an appointment at our showroom. We are happy to help you find the
  • Want maximum flexibility and ergonomic working? Then choose an electric massage table. These tables are height-adjustable at the push of a button and often feature back and leg adjustment. Allowing you to put your client in the most ergonomic position for the best quality massages.

 

Do you work in a permanent practice space or wellness center? Then a stationary massage table is ideal because of its stability, luxurious finish, and comfort.

The ideal working height of a folding massage table depends on your height and the type of treatment you give. Most folding tables are height adjustable, usually from about 60 cm to 85 cm.

  • For massage: A lower height (60-70 cm) gives you more power from your body.

  • For lighter treatments such as reiki or cosmetic treatments: Slightly higher tables (70-80 cm) are more comfortable.

As a rule of thumb, you can use the following:
Stand upright next to the table and let your arms hang relaxed along your body. Your fingers should touch about the level of the table top, which is a good starting height.

  • Preferably choose a folding massage table with quickly and easily adjustable legs, so you can adjust the height to suit different treatments or locations.

Many portable tables come with standard accessories such as a carrying bag and headrest. This is not always the case so check carefully what is included. Table accessories do come in extra handy for enhancing the massage experience of both masseur and client. There are countless options from massage accessories:

  • Knee rolls and armrests

  • Headrests with breathing hole

  • Protective or disposable covers

  • Wheels or a trolley for easy transport

The ideal width of a massage table depends on the type of treatment and the preferences of the practitioner and client. In general, the following applies:

  • Standard width: 60–70 cm, which is advantageous for people under 1.65 m tall. This allows you to get closer to your client, which can prevent back problems. It is also often suitable for sports massages. Because more pressure is applied during these types of massages, it is useful to sit closer to the client.

  • Wide massage tables: 75–80 cm or wider, ideal for people with a taller build.

A less wide massage table does not mean less comfort for your clients either. Ensuring a good balance between the comfort of both client and masseur is important. Furthermore, you can use various accessories to make your table even more comfortable for your client. 

Furthermore, it is good to know that the wider a table is the more difficult it is to carry with you in the case of portable massage table. Therefore, using a carry bag or a carrying case can help make wider tables easy to take along while travelling.

Reiki panels are openings or recesses on the head and foot side of the massage table, usually under the table, which allow you to comfortably place your legs under the table during a treatment. This is ideal for masseurs who give a lot of facials or work with foot reflexology.

These panels are especially popular with:

  • Reiki therapists, who work a lot sitting at the head end

  • Energetic therapists or beauticians who prefer to treat sitting down

Thanks to reiki panels, you can closer to the client sitting without bumping your knees against a dense side panel or solid construction. This ensures better posture and less strain on your back and shoulders. Because you need to lean forward less

  • Many collapsible tables come with reach panels as standard, consider this when buying if you regularly work sitting down.
  • The best way to make your mobile massage table last for years is to use table linen, this prevents stains from landing directly on the surface. Another great advantage is that massage table linen is easy to replace between appointments and easy to keep clean, making your client feel even more comfortable.
  • Clean the upholstery regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. For example, use the Aysun cleaning spray, which is specially made to make the upholstery of your massage table or massage chair last for a long time and remove stains.

  • Never use aggressive detergents or pure oil.

  • Let the table dry completely before folding.

  • Store the table in a carrying bag or cover to prevent possible scratches or other damage. View our diverse range of bags and trolleys To make transporting your portable massage table easier.

With proper maintenance, your table will last for years.

The thickness of the mattress (or covering) on a massage table largely determines the comfort for your client. A good professional table has a mattress thickness of 5 to 10 cm.

  • 5-6 cm thickness: Suitable for shorter treatments or mobile use (lighter, more compact)

  • 7-8 cm thickness: Comfortable for longer treatments, standard for most practice tables

  • 9-10 cm or more: Luxury comfort, recommended for wellness centres or high-end treatments

Besides thickness, the type of foam also plays a role. Cold foam or memory foam offer more comfort and support than standard polyether foam.

At TouchPro Europe, we offer tables with different foam types and thicknesses - from firm to extra soft, always tailored to professional use.

In many cases, it is possible to view the massage tables in advance or request a demonstration. Please contact us to discuss the options or to make an appointment at our showroom. We are happy to help you find the best massage table for your practice.
