Dim lighting, relaxing scents, and soothing music are all integral in creating a satisfying spa experience for clients, but another element that should not be overlooked is the right equipment. This includes warm towels, oils, lotions, and perhaps most importantly, the massage table. If a massage table is uncomfortable or creaky, both the client and the therapist can experience a less-than-ideal treatment. Many massage equipment companies are not only ensuring massage tables are comfortable, functional, and ergonomical, but they are also creating innovative tables that enhance treatments and offer a unique spa experience. “Function for the therapist and comfort for the client shall meet the needs of both parties involved,” says Matthias Kühl, managing director of Clap Tzu and a naturopathic therapist. “The more the therapist is supported by the massage table, the more he or she can give to the client with the least possible distraction.”
