Frequently asked questions about
What is the difference between electric and manual massage tables?
The main difference is how the table is adjusted.
-
Electric massage tables use motors to adjust height and positioning at the push of a button. They are ideal for busy practices, therapists who work with a wide range of clients, or professionals who want to reduce physical strain.
-
Manual massage tables rely on hand adjustments or levers. They are often more budget-friendly and work well for therapists who prefer simple, hands-on control.
Both options provide excellent support, but the right choice depends on your workflow and budget.
