Purchasing Your First Reiki Table or Massage Table - By: Zach Keyer, Posted on: 2007-05-10

Purchasing a Reiki Table or Massage Table can be a surprising upfront investment. You need to be aware of the pros and cons of the different styles and types of tables out there on the market. In this small article, I will go over some of the basics.

First off, you may want to decide on whether you want a Reiki style table or a massage style table. The difference being at the ends of the table. Reiki tables have an open end, so that your knees can fit under the table at both ends. A massage style table will usually have criss crossed bars at the ends which prevent you from sitting with your knees under the table.

Secondly, you are going to want to consider the portability of the table. Take into consideration the weight and folding up of the table. Decide whether your table will be placed in a room and left there, or if it will be a traveling table. Using your table for expos and shows, and also for home visits or office sites will require you to pick the lightest table possible, but still with enough strength to hold a heavier than normal person. And, the ability to fold your table up in mere seconds is a great benefit to anyone who is on the go. Some tables require tools to assemble and some are easily compact. So, make your decisions regarding portability based upon your expected usage for your table.

Lastly, I want to cover the issue of quality and price. I know that especially when you start out in the field of Reiki or Massage, you are usually on a shoestring budget. This being said, you do not want to sacrifice quality for price. The above mentioned subjects will help you in picking the table that is right for you, but when you are stuck between price or quality, always choose quality. The price of a massage table is very small compared to the actual use you will get out of it. I personally have had the same Reiki table since 1997, and it has earned its price more than a hundred times over. It really comes down to pennies when you consider how many sessions that your table will be serving you for. So keep your eye on the bigger picture, and if you absolutely cannot afford to go with the higher quality, then i highly recommend that you find a partner that will go half and half with you on the cost and usage of the table.

These are some of the main considerations in getting a Reiki Table or Massage Table, there are considerations for the accessories also, but that will be another article. I wish you and all of your future clients the very best. To your comfort and success!
