Massage has become one of the most important forms of providing one’s body with much-needed rest and relaxation. Massage is an ancient art that has innumerable benefits. There are different types of massage and each type has its own set of benefits. Some of the most consistent benefits of all massage modalities include relief from stress and pain. Furthermore, regular massage has been proven to enhance general well-being and health.

For Spa and Wellness Center’s wanting to provide the ultimate massage experience for their guests, here are some state-of-the-art recommendations.

Portable Massage Chair

A portable massage chair is a necessity for any business offering massage.  Portable massage chairs are easy to handle and offer guests great comfort. However, the key for longevity in your business is to make sure you purchase massage chairs that are made from premium quality materials so that clients receive the ultimate chair massage.

Some other factors that you need to consider when selecting a massage chair, whether portable or not, include strong padding reinforcement and CFC-free upholstery. Furthermore, its legs must be made from metal legs or hardwood. It must have hand rests and neck bolster for enhanced comfort of the client.  We recommend the Portal Pro Chair from Oakworks.  The Portal Pro® portable massage chair features TerraTouch™ Upholstery fabric that is earth-friendly PVC FREE and soft to the touch. With a light weight of just 19 lbs., built-in wheels, the Oakworks patented QuickLock™ Face Rest and a carry case included with every purchase, this chair is super-portable and storable. Our free online instructional video demonstrates how to set up the chair, make adjustments, and fold down for transport. https://www.thespamart.com/portal-light-massage-body-chair.   For a portable massage table we love the Oakworks Wellspring Portable Massage and Body Table.  The OAKWORKS® Wellspring portable massage table is designed to meet your needs for greater strength, lighter weight and better ergonomic client access all the way around the table. This is the massage table that can keep up with your busiest days.

Massage Tables

Just like a portable massage chair, it is important to have well-made massage tables in your spa and wellness center. High-grade foam must be used on this table for the comfort of the client. Moreover, before buying a massage table from a particular brand, make sure you are reading customer reviews validating the quality of the table and its durability.  The most trusted brand you will find is made right here in the USA, Oakworks has all the options you need when it comes to a quality hand crafted table.  A classic budget conscious favorite is the Proluxe.  https://www.thespamart.com/proluxe-flat-top-massage-body-table.

Massage Tools

In order to give a rejuvenating experience to your client, you must have quality massage tools in your spa. Furthermore, your professional staff must also be educated to use these tools in the most efficient manner. Some of these tools include thumpers, marble stones, carpal tunnel gloves, and power putty etc. Apart from these tools, quality massage table accessories are also required to give a wholesome experience to your clients. These accessories are face cradle covers, cleaning products, body cushion systems etc.  Today I would like to feature The Original Worm and the Side Lying Positioning System from Oakworks.  The Original Worm is the portable, multi-tasking body roller that combines the benefits of therapy balls with a foam roller.
