Massage, while glamorous and pampering for its receivers, is a serious profession for its deliverers requiring enormous understanding, a sophisticated skill set, and unequaled professionalism. And along with this-- in order to make a massage profession an effective occupation-- is the need for effective and safe massage devices.
As a massage therapist, your equipment needs depend largely on your method of seeing clients. If you work within an existing full-service day spa then your massage devices needs will be substantially less than if you have clients concerning your house or vice versa.
 
If you do not see your clients in an existing spa, then you will have to offer a massage table and massage chair as part of your massage equipment. When purchasing this piece of massage equipment be sure that the table is of adequate length and sturdy sufficient to hold a range of weights.
 
A massage chair allows you to do back and neck massages while the client sits up with their face in a cushioned holder. This piece of massage devices is generally for much shorter massages and do not require the client to remove any clothes.
 
Many massage therapists-- no matter whether they operate in a medspa or in the house-- consider their own massage oils and creams to be a part of their individual massage devices. The smell and texture of particular items interest some massage therapists more than others and they will often bring their products in addition to them. In addition, for those massage therapists trained in hot stone massage, they will often bring their own hot stones-- as these are individual and pricey pieces of massage equipment.
 
More important than the massage devices-- or potentially considered the most crucial piece of massage devices of all - is the massage therapist's ability to link with their customer and deliver a relaxing, healing massage.
