Receiving a delightful foot rub from Jeff M yesterday afternoon reminded me of something I was planning to do for some time but had deferred in favour of paying bills and credit card balances. Now that all outstanding short term debts are fully paid and I've been given a small performance bonus for my next pay check, it was time to purchase myself a new toy on eBay:


massage table



I was originally thinking of getting this for [livejournal.com profile] kent4str, but that would make it sort of a weasel gift, kinda like getting one's great-grandmother a motorcycle for xmas. It's a gift to the pair of us then, so it's available when desired and we don't have to wait for xmas. Delivery should be within a week.

Is that a drool guard below the headrest?

That's exactly what I thought last night when I saw the eBay listing... I've never worked with a table with that attachment. I'm sure pros like [livejournal.com profile] oologindc would be able to inform us appropriately.

It may be just me, but I think you're equating [livejournal.com profile] kent4str to a great-grandmother. He may not like that. :-)

The table looks fabulous. Congratulations!

Come help me break it in!

That one's very similar to ours. I hope the vinyl isn't really that shade of blue, though; ours is cordovan. One nice adjunct use: if you adjust the leg heights all the way down, it makes a decent cot for guests. You can buy fitted sheets for it (including the headrest) as well.

Here's hoping I get to try it out sometime!

I've studied massage for 3 years in the past, and have always wanted a table... now I'm jealous.

I studied at the Sutherland-Chan clinic in Toronto many, many moons ago, but I was turning into the carpal tunnel syndrome poster child so I couldn't continue. My wrists are still prone to strain so more than occasional massage work would be impossible, but I'm exciting & looking forward to the table's arrival.

you certainly are exciting, m'dear. so when can I get you to -er- work me over?

(I quite like that blue colour -- but then, cobalt goes very well with my bonny blue eyes, me being a winter and all -- but you do want to use sheets anyway. much more comfortable to have something to absorb perspiration.)

I don't get it, how does it suspend from the ceiling? Where are the wrist and ankle restraints? Am i missing something here?

Hon, I wouldn't dare purchase a sling without your expert recommendation.

Or at least consult your mother. :-)

Yeahhhhhh

Maybe we should set it up on the deck of the trailer next summer... :-)
