10 essential massage accessories to enhance your sessions
Sometimes the difference between an unforgettable massage and a simple treatment is the quality of your equipment. And above all its diversity!
There’s nothing better than investing in a range of massage accessories to please your guests. But which ones should you choose to enhance your massage sessions? Which ones should you use during your treatments?
Whether it’s for you or for the person you’re massaging, the choice of massage accessories shouldn’t be taken lightly. Nandara presents 10 massage accessories to enhance your treatments and transform your everyday life!
1 – The massage cushion
First of all, the massage bolster. This remains one of the mainstays of professional massage equipment . As soon as you welcome your customers into an environment conducive to relaxation, it’s essential to offer them a support adapted to their needs.
Designed to mould perfectly to the curves of the body, this accessory promotes optimal muscle relaxation and helps reduce body tension.
Thanks to its high-density foam composition, this cushion is remarkably durable and resilient, providing constant comfort even after many uses.
Generally speaking, massage bowls and half-moons are used to relieve pressure on certain parts of the body. You can, for example, place it under the ankles to encourage perfect alignment of the body of the person being massaged, or under the knees to massage the thighs freely.
This is a real advantage for ensuring that the person being massaged is comfortable and that you can relieve their tension effectively.
2 – The adjustable massage table for tailor-made treatments
Much more than a simple massage accessory, the electric massage table is an asset for enhancing the quality of your treatments.
Designed to adapt fully to the needs of the person being massaged, it can be adjusted in height and inclination to optimise the practitioner’s posture.
Thanks to its robustness and high-quality finish, this table offers not only enhanced safety but also a longevity that fully justifies its investment. Every curve and every element has been designed to enhance the sensory experience of your clients and improve the effectiveness of your massage techniques.
The ergonomics of this table make it easy to access different areas of the body, whether for a relaxing massage, a Swedish massage or a sports massage.
The carefully designed work surface ensures a perfect balance between comfort and performance, allowing your massee to relax completely.
But as well as being adjustable, it’s also easy to adjust! With no effort at all, you can adjust this massage table to suit the physical needs of the person being massaged. What more could you ask for in terms of personalised massages?
3 – Protective sheets for your massage table
Massage accessories not only improve the quality of your treatment, but also ensure the durability of your massage equipment. For example, do you have all the protection you need to look after your massage table?
If you haven’t already done so, Nandara strongly recommends that you invest in protective massage table sheets.
You can choose the material(microfibre, cotton, flannel, etc.) and also the colour. This means that the sheets contribute to the comfort of the person being massaged, to the protection of your massage table and to the decoration of your treatment room.
A massage accessory that’s an absolute must-have !
4 – Personalised bathrobes and towels
As you know, when it comes to well-being, every detail is important. That’s why Nandara advises you to choose massage table covers that match the decor of your treatment room.
But that’s not all: to reinforce the impression of professionalism that will emanate from your institute, invest in bathrobes and massage towels bearing your company logo!
Whether it’s identical colours or your own brand name , this is your chance to personalise your massage accessories, for 100% made-to-measure treatments. Your guests will feel like they’ re entering a professional world, which will undoubtedly help them to relax.
5 – Essential oil diffuser
To continue on the subject of massage accessories that make all the difference, don’t forget that the atmosphere in your treatment room has a huge influence on how relaxed your guests feel. And decoration is far from being the only thing you can do about it!
Don’t hesitate to play on the 5 senses: sight with beautiful decor, touch with soft sheets, hearing with zen music… And why not olfaction with an essential oil diffuser?
Lavender, chamomile, vanilla, peppermint… You can adapt the choice of essential oil to your mood of the day, or to the wishes of your client.
The diffuser diffuses subtle, soothing aromas that contribute to mental and physical relaxation. Used with high-quality oils, it enhances the effectiveness of your massage techniques by creating a synergy between body and mind.
It’s ideal for total immersion, right from the moment you enter the treatment room!
6 – Towel warmer
As you may already know, heat is one of the most effective ways of relaxing. So why not invest in a towel warmer?
A few minutes before your client arrives, you place the towels in this equipment. It then heats the towels so that your client can wrap himself in a little cocoon of warmth as he enters the treatment room. Once again, this kind of detail plays a big part in immersing your guests!
7 – The massage oil warmer
And if you’re going to heat your towels, have you thought about heating your massage oils? Investing in a massage oil warmer is essential, whether you work in an institute or as a home masseuse.
Once again, a few minutes before the treatment, place your massage oil in the oil warmer. This way, when the person you’re massaging lies down, you start the massage with warm oil, which is perfect for avoiding breaking the immersion.
8 – Heated underpad
To take things a step further, Nandara recommends an essential massage accessory when it comes to immersion: theheated underpad.
This fully adjustable heated underpad can be switched on a few minutes before the treatment. That way, when your client sits down on the massage table, it’s already at room temperature.
Simply plug it in and adjust the temperature to suit your massage. It’s perfect for cold-weather massages, but also for outdoor massages in between seasons!
9 – The massage roller
The massage roller, which is often used as a complement to your sessions, allows your clients to extend the benefits of the massage once the session is over. You can suggest that they invest in a massage roller, and present them with exercises they can do at home.
A bit like a self-massage, to prolong the benefits of your treatments!
By offering advice on how to use this tool, you are demonstrating your expertise and your desire to promote a global approach to body care, combining technology and traditional know-how.
10 – Specific massage accessories
Now that you have all the must-have massage accessories to enhance your spa treatments, how about varying the pleasures with accessories to use during massages?
Nandara recommends that you take a specific massage course, so that you can use a variety of accessories: hot stone massage with basalt stones, Tibetan bowl massage, Thai massage with bamboo sticks, etc. And why not try your hand at energy massage, by investing in lithotherapy stones ?
These massage accessories necessarily require training to learn how to use them. But it’s also a great way of making your clients want to come back and see you again: by doing so, you can vary the massages on your treatment menu!
Enhance your treatments with the right massage accessories!
From the comfort of the person being massaged, to maintaining your posture as a masseur and adding different massages to your treatment menu, you’ll now have a better understanding of why massage accessories are so important to your practice.
Now all you have to do is invest! In any case, make sure you choose top-of-the-range massage equipment for optimum durability.
