Re: Massage Table

Have a look over the article illustrating the connective tissue massage and see the massage table there in photograph to have an idea of massage table.

Yes I have an excellent portable table and no there is no difference required in table dimensions etc between male and female. But for massage you do want a fairly thick layer of foam on the top that is soft enough to comfortably accommodate larger breasted women.

A separate removable head piece is also useful as this lets you add some length to the table to the taller clients.

Mine is a portable Master Couch almost exactly the same as the one in this link. It cost about the same as well and I got it in black with darker legs and a bolster as well. It is very sturdy and can be setup in about 5 seconds which is great.

Have a look at http://www.bestmassagecouches.com/11bmw.php
