What the Right Massage Stool Can Do for You
Massage stools are used to support massage therapists and allow ease of access to the patient. However, that does not mean that all massage stools are alike. Each is made differently, and not all give total support to the therapist. So, it is not enough to invest in just about any massage stool. Choosing a stool at random would only hurt you. Still, what exactly makes massage stools work and not work?
The Massage Stools of the Past
Most massage stools of the past have been made to roll around. While this allows the bodywork therapist to move around the patient freely, it does not provide support. The therapist must halt themselves from rolling around. This puts pressure on the massage therapist. Imagine a massage session where you are rolling around, must steady yourself, and give a good massage. Not only is this exhausting to you but also the patient, who will not receive the best massage.
The Massage Stool that Makes a Difference
Massage stools such as Comfort Craft’s T-Base stool truly make a difference. The reason is in the large wheel castor system and non-rotating seat. This allows the therapist to control the stool completely by using the leg muscles. No more rolling around without control of the stool. At the same time, this stool has an ergonomic design which allows the knee to be higher than the hip when you are seated, utilizing the sit muscles for movement control. Plus, the T-Base stool’s height can be adjusted to the massage therapist’s height and preference.
The best part of the T-Base stool is the fact that the bodywork therapist can utilize it to do stretches on the patients without the seat rolling away. Thanks to this massage stool, the therapist can stretch the patient back and remain where they want to be. This decreases pressure off the massage therapist, since they would be working less to steady themselves. And that results in a better massage session.
The right massage stool can make a huge difference in how a therapist performs and how the patient feels during a massage session. It is always a wise idea to invest in an ergonomic, effective stool for better results and comfort. To learn more about Comfort Craft’s T-Base stool, call us to learn more.
