Earthlite massage tables

Massage is the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being. The word comes from the French massage "friction of kneading", or from Arabic massa meaning "to touch, feel or handle". Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure - structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving - tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. In professional settings massage involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a best massage chair, on an Earthlite massage tables or lying on a mat on the floor. The massage subject may be fully or partly clothed. Parts of the body may be covered with towels or sheets. Those who practice massage as a career are referred to as masseurs, masseuses, or, if certified by some organizations, as massage therapists. Many different types of oils can be used including eucalyptus oil. Salts are also used in association with oils to remove dry skin. Heat rocks are also used for relaxing muscles. Sometimes a body rock is a serpentine-shaped tool, usually carved out of stone. It's used to amplify the therapist's strength and focus pressure on certain areas. It can be used directly on the skin with a lubricant such as oil or corn starch.
