5 Things That Make My Table the Best Experience

There is nothing worse than getting on a massage table that is hard, cold and narrow. Let’s not forget a squeaky table. I consider myself massage table snob. I think it comes from my massage school days. My school was located in Minneapolis off of Lowry street. We had to ‘practice’ on strange people we didn't know. The building was an old house. The rooms were very small and minimal. The tables were scary. There was no cover over the table. What impacted me the most was the strict rule that each client could only have two sheets. These were thin sheets and no blankets. Back in 2001, people paid $25. for this experience. YIKES! 

1. The Table 

Today I’m going to share with you what makes my table so wonderful. My table is a Golden Ratio brand. Back in 2001 Golden Ratio was the top brand of massage tables. It is specially designed for the massage experience. It's wider and has 4 inches of foam. That's 4 compared to your 2 to 3 inches now days. This foam is covered in real leather. They don't cover them like this anymore to my knowledge. This table is designed to hold 500 lbs and not squeak about it. 

2. The Table Cover

 I cover my table with a lambs wool covering. This covering wraps over the sides of the table and is 1 1/2 thick and plush. It's design is to keep clients cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

 I love the way it adds an extra layer of comfort. 

3. The Earthing Sheet

The next layer is the Earthing Grounding Sheet. This sheet brings to you the energy of the planet. I supplied a link so that you can check out the research and thoughts on the Earthing idea. 

I personally love it and feel that it's a huge plus. 

4. The Headrests

I have two different types of headrests. Both are very soft. One is made of memory foam and is much thicker. While the other one is your typically size headrest. 

5. Cooling Weighted Blanket

Lastly - I have been using a weighted blanket on different clients from time to time. It's a cooling blanket for our hot days. Weighted blankets also help with many health issues. The weighted blanket has gotten a lot of mixed reviews. I personally love it. I have one that I use at home. It has helped me with my concussion issues such as anxiety and fatigue. 

Wishing you the very best today.
