Massage Table This is the most common piece of massage equipment. It comes in a large variety of forms. If your masseuse or masseur makes house calls, this may be a lightweight portable table. If they offer other treatments, they might even have a power or hydraulic table. Either way, the massage table is basically a padded board with a hole at one end for your face to comfortably rest in.
Massage Chair Similar to massage tables. Massage chairs put patients in a comfortable sitting position. It will be well padded with a padded face rest.
Massage Oil Your therapist will use oils on your skin to cut friction and allow their hands to glide on your body easily. There are many different types of oils including almond oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. Your therapist might also incorporate aromatherapy into their session which would include scented oils to help relax you. Massage Lotion Lotions can be used when a therapist wants to provide lubrication but does not want their hands to slip. Massage Cream Creams give your therapist more glide than a lotion. They are a balance between lotions and oils. Massage Stones Massage stones are heated (usually in water) and then applied to the body. They can be left on the body or can be used along with oil in massage. The heat gently relaxes muscles.
