Avoid – Therapist’s Choice Aluminum Adjustable Face Cradle for Massage Table

• Therapist’s Choice Aluminum Adjustable Face Cradle for Massage Table Review: If you’ve been researching the best Reiki equipment on the market, you’ll notice that the Therapist’s Choice brand is mostly top-notch. However, this is unfortunately a product that needs some overhaul for this reputable brand. The Therapist’s Choice Aluminum Adjustable Face Cradle is incredibly flimsy and doesn’t easily fit alternative massage table models or sizes. Instead, there is a tendency for the face cradle to snap off, both during assembly and even when you are with a client. What’s even worse is that customers have cautioned that they believed this face cradle was steady and secure in place, but found out that it was quite the opposite once their client was in session. As a Reiki practitioner, you never want to be in the position of putting your client in danger, so it’s best to avoid this product as it has a tendency to break, especially when in use!

2023 Guide to the Best Massage Face Cradle for Your Reiki Table:

Many of the same thoughtful considerations that go into purchasing the best Reiki table for your practice also go into ensuring that you invest in a quality, safe, and comfortable massage face cradle to accompany it. Always put your client’s comfort (as you would when selecting massage sheets) and safety first, above anything else. Since the head and neck are sensitive areas that are easily prone to discomfort that can radiate into back pain, it’s important to consider massage face cradles that are comfortable, adjustable, flexible, and sturdy.

Top 4 Brands of Massage Face Cradle:

It may seem like all massage face cradles are the same, but each company takes a different approach to providing maximum comfort and safety for your client. Below are my top five picks for the best massage face cradles for your Reiki table:

• Sierra Comfort: For over 10 years, Sierra Comfort is one of the leading brands in healing equipment. Sierra Comfort’s specializes in creating quality, client-centered equipment (such as tables, bolsters, and face cradles) for Reiki, massage, and acupuncture healing activities. As equipment specialists, Sierra Comfort pays close attention to not only the latest healing techniques and trends, but also what clients are looking for in a comfortable, relaxing, and healing session, all to ensure that their customers and customer’s clients are mutually satisfied. Sierra Comfort values their customers and features specialty items and accessories made specifically for Sierra Comfort brand equipment. They have excellent customer service and a 30 year warrantee on all products. If you’re not only looking to invest in your tools but also create a relationship with a company, Sierra Comfort is there for you.

• Therapist’s Choice: Therapists’ Choice is one of the leading brands in wellness and alternative care, especially in the realm of physical therapy. Although the company’s origins are a mystery, rumor has it that their founders wanted to create products that they wish they had when they were starting out as healers and physical therapists. Therapist’s Choice is a popular brand due to their high-quality materials at an affordable price. They are best suited for the Reiki practitioner looking to get a lot of mileage out of their investment, especially since they are known for their durable, long-lasting quality and excellent lifetime customer service and warranty.

• Master Massage: Master Massage wants its clients to have an artful, masterful and luxurious experience with their impressive line of products. The Master Massage brand of healing equipment and tools, although primarily geared toward massage therapists, are also pretty suitable for us Reiki practitioners. You’ll find some great accessories and thoughtful additions that can support your client’s healing experience, such as essential oils, blankets, sheets, and comfortable face and neck pillows. Customers value Master Massage brand for kicking up their tools a notch, giving their clients and practice a professional, spa-like experience. Although Master Massage products are a bit more expensive, you’ll find that your clients will appreciate the extra mile for the special experience you want them to have with Reiki in the simplest of ways.

• Earthlite: Earthlite is a high-quality and affordable brand that many amateur healers flock to. Consider Earthlite the IKEA of healing equipment and accessories companies: they have some excellently designed and easy to assemble and use products that are ideal for anyone who just starting out with their healing practice. If you’re not sure what type of products you need or want, Earthlite is an underwhelming company to start off with that will provide you with excellent customer support every step of the way.

3 Factors to Consider Before Investing in a Massage Face Cradle for Your Reiki Table:

• Flexibility: Even during something so soothing such as a Reiki healing session, your client will inevitable move around, and, especially their head; and, if you have a client who needs extra attention to their head, eyes, ears, and the beginning of the spine, you’re going to really want to make sure that you invest in a massage face cradle that can support this area super comfortably. Look for products that not only offer flexibility under the head and neck, but also mold into the clients’ facial features so that they are not pressing against cold, solid material during an otherwise relaxing session.

• Security: Let’s face it, face cradles are the flimsiest part of the massage Reiki table since they are detachable and hang off easily. You’re going to want to look for face cradles that come with extra supports in place, such as Velcro, latches, or even guarantee that they “click” into place when attached to the table. Your client’s safety, especially when the head and neck are concerned, is your number one priority. Make sure that if you mix and match brands you still provide a sturdy experience with the particular face cradle and table combination used. Even though nearly all face cradles are universally designed, you’ll want to check to make sure that yours fits snugly to your table before finding out the hard way with your client.

• Universal Design: Let’s say your favorite brand decides to go out of business. In that case, you’ll need to cross your fingers and toes to make sure that other accessories for your table are compatible with it, otherwise you’ll have to reinvest in everything all over again. Although most face cradles are typically universal (meaning, they can fit any table), you’ll want to double check the specs of the attachment poles and width of the cradle to make sure that it not only fits, but also provides enough support to your client throughout the session. Adjustable, universally designed face cradles are an extra bonus: that way, you’ll be able to adjust the distance from the face cradle to the table, which is necessary for clients who are tall or need additional support for their head and neck.
