    About this ebook

    Massage Student: Question and Answer Reference Guide is for the person thinking about a career in massage or for the massage student that is currently enrolled in a Massage Therapy course. 

    It can be used to answer questions students have or as a quick study guide. Sometimes learning so many new things at once, modalities, body mechanics, terminology and so much more can overwhelm you. This breaks things down to the basics. Once you have your foundations set, it makes it easier to absorb new information. 

    The book is written in a question and answer format, along with lists and definitions of commonly used terminology. It covers a broad range of topics from choosing your first massage table, to business and marketing, anatomy, and more! It's the perfect guide for the beginning massage therapist.

      Chapter 1 – Choosing a Massage Table

      You’ve decided to take a massage course and now you’re looking for a massage table. There are so many out there, it can be overwhelming to decide which will be the right table for you.

      Tables can be ordered narrow or wide, standard or with extensions, with cradles that are fixed or adjustable, as stationary or portable tables, and don’t forget massage chairs.

      You’ve got a lot of choices with so many different companies out there. Here are a few worth mentioning: Oakworks, Earthlite, Master, Astra Lite, Nautilus, Earthgear, StrongLite, and Custom Craftworks.

      What do you mean wait?

You may find one you prefer over another. You might also find that you would work easier on a narrower or wider table than what’s considered
