Therapy Essentials Sets New Standards In Massage Table Design

June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Equipment specialist, Therapy Essentials, has launched two new massage tables for the sports and therapeutic massage sector and the Spa and beauty sector, as well as a body support system that can be used to enhance comfort during a treatment.  

The Affinity Athlete is designed to withstand vigorous treatments such as Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Osteopathy, whilst offering superior comfort for clients and improved access to the lumbar area for therapists.  The lifting backrest is perfect for seated treatments, consultations and strapping.  

The Athlete - highlights at a glance:
•Reiki End Panels - therapist can sit close to the table, thereby reducing pressure on the lower spine
•Face cradle and armsling - lengthens the table by 12” and enhances client comfort;  positions rotator cuff muscles at optimum position and opens scapula
•Rapid set-up - sets up in seven seconds
•Carry case - supplied with handy side pocket for all your consumables.
•Height adjustable - precise telescopic legs, allow the height to be adjusted rapidly whilst still retaining the stability required for high impact treatments.
•Sculpted centre section - hour-glass construction permits the therapist perfect access to the lumbar area.  The wider areas maintain comfort for the client.
•10-position lifting back rest - strong, rigid back rest adjusts through 10 positions to an angle of 75°.
“We took looked at the ergonomics of these types of treatments and felt that we could offer something that improved the experience both for the client and the therapist,” explains Spencer Randon from Therapy Essentials.  “The hour-glass shape reduces the need for stretching and leaning and the Reiki End Panels enable the therapist to sit close to the table when carrying out seated treatments.  The table is very lightweight, making it ideal for mobile therapists and it is extremely comfortable for the client.  If therapists are looking to safeguard their health and income in the long term, this table is ideal.”

The Affinity Diva Stationary Spa Table
The Affinity Diva sets new standards in electric couch design with gas-lift leg and back rest and ultra glide height adjustment, giving trouble-free adjustment at any desired height or angle.

The Affinity Diva is 28” in width with a 4” Therafoam padding for maximum client comfort. It is supplied with an adjustable face-cradle and armrest which lengthens the table by 12” to enhance client comfort and to position rotator cuff muscles at optimum position with the scapula opened.   The table also include floating armrests that can be removed as necessary.  

The table is high strength and able to withstand even the strongest treatments and can be adjusted from 18” to 35” in height with its ultra glide electric motor, ensuring that the table is always adjusted to the correct height for the therapist.    

“We have been working on an electric table for a while now,” comments Spencer Randon from Therapy Essentials.  “It was important to get the design right and our Affinity Helena lent itself perfectly to the development of an electric version.  As a result, we have been able to produce a truly luxurious, great-looking electric couch that we believe is the best in the market.”  

The BodyBolster
The BodyBolster is a fully adjustable, ergonomic positioning system with recessed areas specifically for spa and massage treatments.  It is particularly effective when used to enhance the comfort of  large or pregnant clients and can also be used as a way of controlling body positioning.

The BodyBolster fits any size of table or can be placed directly on the floor.  It is available in navy blue or biscuit and comprises four sections: face, sternum, pelvic and split leg bolsters; it also comes with its own carry case.  

Both products are available to order from a range of wholesalers and online suppliers.  For more information, please visit www.therapyessentials.co.uk.
