Massage tables are an integral part of the experience of getting a massage. The key to choosing a quality massage table is to ensure that it will last a long time. Even though massage tables of a professional standard don't require much maintenance. Performing a few inspections each day will assist guarantee that your massage table continues to be durable and comfortable during its entire existence. Always double-check that any knobs are securely adjusted and that the legs of the massage tables are aligned and stable. An unstable table has either been improperly built or has sustained some kind of physical harm. Check massage tables regularly for any tears or cracks, and if you find any, make sure to patch them as quickly as you can to prevent any more damage.
Listed below are the quick guide to fix and maintain massage tables
Keeping the upholstery in good condition
To begin, you need to make sure that you are using sheets of a high-quality. Your massage tables sheet should ideally be constructed of brushed cotton because this material is not only soft and comfortable for your customer, but it is also long-lasting, easy to clean, and should prevent massage oil and natural body oils from soaking into leather or vinyl upholstery. On your massage table, you should always utilise sheets that have a fitting bottom. This prevents massage oil and body oils from having direct contact with the upholstery. When oil comes into consistent touch with leather or vinyl, the fibres in these materials begin to deteriorate, which can dramatically cut down on the lifespan of your massage table.
Maintain the base and legs
If you have an aluminium massage table, the frame of your massage table requires very little maintenance on your part to keep it in good condition. Your practice will be safe from harm for many years because of aluminium's incredible strength and longevity. On the other hand, if you have a massage table made of wood, you must take proper care of the wood. In a few years, you don't want it to develop cracks? First, make it a habit to check the screws once every couple of months, especially if you don't modify the height frequently. The screws must be always adequately tightened so that there is no possibility of the leg giving way when a customer or client gets on the table.
Maintain the foam
It is possible to get more use out of your massage table by preventing the foam from wearing down. This will also make the experience of receiving a massage from you more pleasurable for your clients. In the past, many massage tables were fixed, meaning that the headrest or breath hole could only be positioned at one end of the table. This resulted in the foam degrading more quickly. However, many massage tables manufactured today use foam that is denser and allow the headrest to be attached to either end of the table. Because of this, you can exchange ends between treatments, which slows down the rate at which the foam wears down.
Things can go wrong regardless of how thoroughly one cleans or maintain massage tables. It is in your best interest to have your table repaired by professional as quickly as possible if it sustains any kind of damage, as this will help avoid any additional damage and reduce the likelihood that you will need to replace it. The cost of repair of massage tables is far lower than the cost of purchasing new tables.
