Frequently asked questions
Massage Accessories & Supplies UK – FAQs
Answers about massage table accessories, therapist supplies,
couch protection, positioning supports, replacement parts and
mobile massage equipment.
What massage accessories should a new therapist buy first?
Start with table protection, hygiene supplies, face-cradle
protection and one versatile positioning bolster. Add transport,
oil-warming or specialist treatment equipment once it supports
services you regularly provide.
What are massage table accessories?
Massage table accessories include face cradles, face cushions,
headrests, arm supports, table extenders, carry cases, wheeled
carts, protective covers and compatible replacement parts.
How do I choose a massage table or couch cover?
Check the table length, width, face-hole position, intended
treatment products and cleaning routine. Choose between washable
textile, waterproof, oil-resistant and disposable protection
according to your work.
Which massage bolster shape should I choose?
Round bolsters provide more elevation, while half-round supports
give a lower and more stable profile. The correct shape depends
on the body area, treatment position and required support.
Are face cradles and massage table headrests universal?
Not always. Post spacing, post diameter, frame connection and
adjustment systems can differ between manufacturers and models.
Confirm compatibility before ordering replacement parts.
Are massage table carry bags and trolleys universal?
Some carry bags and carts fit several table sizes, but their
internal dimensions and weight limits vary. Compare them with
the folded table dimensions and complete transport weight.
When is a massage oil or lotion warmer useful?
A warmer can improve comfort and workflow when warmed oil or
lotion is used regularly. Check bottle compatibility, controls,
capacity, cleaning requirements and electrical warranty.
Which disposable massage supplies support hygiene?
Depending on the treatment setup, useful disposable supplies can
include couch roll, table covers, face-hole covers and other
single-use protective items. They should complement rather than
replace appropriate cleaning procedures.
