Heated Massage Table
Why is a heated massage table work better?
Have you ever had a massage on a table that was not heated? The minute you get up you are cold and shivering. The muscles that you just worked so hard to relax are now contracting and spasming. This is why at McLaughlin Care we only use heated massage tables during both the summer and the winter.
A heated massage table not only keeps you comfortable during your massage but also relaxes the muscles. Heat is a vasodilator, in other words, it increases your circulation and blood flow this helps your body rid itself of metabolic waste and toxins. These toxins form when your muscles are in contraction or spasm. they are known as trigger points. The massage releases the trigger point to expel the toxins and the increased circulation from the heat in the table helps carry it away and out your body in waste.
