Hi Ben, I've been a massage therapist for 14 years, things that I find essential is I have a jewelery dish , I always have extra blankets, pillows, a table warmer soft lighting a nice inviting cozy loving environment also my office is 1000 Sq ft I feel a robe is a good thing to have in the room hanging on back of door in case the client has to use restroom during their session... great video love seeing how other massage therapists do things!!!
You're right on track, Ben! I just graduated from MT school and I'm using your vids to get up to speed on all things MT. Thanks a lot for the resource!!
Thanks for showing your customers space! Im new to the industry and i think that is the most thoughtful, considerate, accomodating space ive ever seen. It shows you're taking care of the details. Video request: i'm setting up my room and I'd like to see how you organize your lotions/oils and sheets, pillows and all that.
Thank you Marie! ❤ I would love to put together a video of how I organize things and how we organize things at our multi therapist office. We keep things fairly minimal at our office. Give me about a week to get a video put together. Thanks for sharing ! I would gladly accept any other requests also, I don't know much but I am willing to share things others have taught me over the 18 years!
Thank you for amazing video! So helpful! I actually followed your suggestion and understand better customer experience. I love your massage table sheets and blanket, would you mind to tell where are these from? Thank you Warmest Regards
Thank Diana. The table is a portable oakworks model I got probably 22 years ago. The sheets are from massagewarehouse.com and they are the microfiber style. I don't know where I got the blanket, probably walmart or target, that's where I like to go for blankets.
How do you recommend setting up your table? I currently work in a small room at my job and the table is positioned at an angle in order to allow space to work around the table as opposed to the table being in a straight position. I wonder if constantly working in this position is causing me unilateral pain in my body.
This is a good question. Would it be possible to send me a couple of pictures of your space? I have some thoughts but if I can get an idea of what you are working with that would help.
My current employer ( a chiropractor) is moving our office to a new space and my room will now be in a busier area of this office space, right by the front desk and waiting area. Any ideas on how to make it seem more private and less noisy?
This is probably in need of it's own video response. I can tell you, no matter where you go, noise is always going to be an issue. If you can, do as much soundproofing INSIDE the walls before you move in. This option usually won't happen. I have read that hanging things on the walls, like tapestries or pictures can help dampen the sound, but there will still be noise. Noise inside of your massage room can help, music, white noise, fans, etc. I think it would be a good idea to have that conversation with the management and people who will most often on the other side of your wall about the situation. Maybe having a sign to remind patients and clients about noise levels could be helpful. One thing to remember, we are more sensitive to the sounds we hear than our clients are. That does not mean they won't hear, but it's probably not as big of a deal. Making sure to collect regular anonymous non-noise specific feedback would be a good way to gauge the noise.
Face cradle is too high. It should be in line with the table or lower. That is dangerous for the client's neck and can compress the vertebral arteries.
What are your "must do" things when you are setting up your massage room?
Cleanliness of all things, smell good, comfy bed and cover sheets, safety and privacy feeling.
you are absolutely right!
Thanks simple but imformative

That is a great observation. I personally don't use it in that position, I just thought it would look better on camera to have it propped up a bit. 😉
Please can I get your email.?
