Yes, your therapist will provide a massage table and all accessories for your appointment.
Your therapist will always bring the table to your treatment. The massage tables vary in size, however, to give you an idea, a standard table has the below measurements:
Dimensions: 184cm x 63.5cm
Max working capacity: 450lbs/240kg
Your treatment will always need to take place on the therapist’s treatment table for health and safety reasons. Requests to have a treatment on a bed or surface other than the table will not be tolerated by your therapist and they have the right to leave without providing a treatment should the situation arise. You will be charged the full amount for your treatment in this instance, as per our cancellation policy.
Make sure there’s enough space to accommodate the massage table, leaving enough space for the therapist to move around it – a 3x2m space for singles and double that for two is ideal. Please make sure you have chosen the room and cleared the space before your therapist arrives so you don’t lose your treatment time.
