Hi,
Can anyone recommend a sturdy but LIGHTWEIGHT massage table. We already have a portalight aluminium table, but it's still Soooo heavy for my wife to get in and out of the car.
Some lightweight ones are just not rigid enough and creak when in use. There must be something good ones out there?
Any suggestions very welcome.
Thanks
The general weight for portable couches is around 26lbs. Master light couches weigh around this. Starlight make the lightest couches but the cost is about £800.
I can thoroughly recommend the Portalite Delta Lightweight massage table from www.massagewarehouse.co.uk. I have had it since January and everyone says its the most comfortable they have ever tried. It comes in 3 width options - I bought the 28" version - plenty wide enough - and at 11.5kg I am able to easily lift it into and out of my car (and I'm only 8 stones). Also, the people at massage warehouse were very knowledgable and efficient and the table came within a couple of days as promised. It was quite expensive but well worth it.:)
I have bought a table from Starlight, and I must admit it was worth the money. Without the table being as lightweight as the one I have I don't think I would have been able to continue being a mobile massage therapist. I know it is a lot of money but I could not find a lightweight table (as light as this) anywhere else.
I have had the table for 7 years now and clients are always commenting on how comfortable the table is, especially as it wider than the average table.
I have invested in some wheels for the table which I use when I am walking from the car parks to the apartment which help also.
Hope this helps.
Hi Joggerman
I've had a second hand Oakworks Advanta for over 5 years & been very happy with it. It's light, nice & wide and comfy for clients. Think they cost about £600 new but worth it if you're doing lots of mobile work.
Hi,
Starlight do make very good couches, i have a couple myself, and have been a good investment, with years of excellent service.
I know a female therapist, and she has a wheeled couch cover for hers, which makes moving it a lot easier, but most couches do weigh around 25lb mark, so perhaps a wheeled couch cover may be helpful.
