Massage table

Hey kiddo, have you ever been to a spa or seen a massage therapist? Well, when someone gets a massage, they usually lay down on a special table that's called a "massage table". This table is designed to help the person receiving the massage feel comfortable and relaxed, while also making it easy for the massage therapist to give the massage.

Massage tables are usually long and narrow, kind of like a bed, but they are usually shorter and have a special cushioned top to make sure the person getting the massage is comfortable. The table also has a hole where the person's face can rest, so they can breathe easily during the massage.

Some massage tables have adjustable height, which means they can be made taller or shorter depending on the height of the massage therapist or the preference of the person getting the massage. The table may also have various attachments to help the massage therapist give different types of massages, like a bolsters for supporting the legs or arms.

Overall, the massage table is an important tool for massage therapists to help their clients feel comfortable and relaxed during a massage.
