Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Attilio, I'd recommend Earthlite.....and in particular this treatment bench. http://www.earthlite.com/ellora_salon_table.htm The deliver really fast and with the dollar being weak against sterling you will get this couch cheaper than anywhere in the UK and the quality is far superior.

Yes but with shipping it's going to be much more expensive (they are handled by moving companies). Earthlite is being sold in the UK as well. A table with the same name is being sold here http://www.injuryprevention.org.uk/section.php?xSec=6 However that chair is non-adjustable, and already costs 1135 pounds. There are some Earthlite tables and other brands available from a shop in the Netherlands: http://www.johnkeet.nl/ I'm also looking into buying two tables, have not decided yet. Any more tips? Tom.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 My couch was delivered by FedEx and it cost me around $200 if I remember. This still made the couch less expensive than buying through a local distributor. - " verhaeghe_tom " <verhaeghe_tom <Chinese Medicine > Sunday, January 23, 2005 12:19 AM Re: Treatment Couches > > > Chinese Medicine , " Dermot O'Connor " > <dermot@a...> wrote: >> >> Attilio, >> >> I'd recommend Earthlite.....and in particular this treatment bench. >> http://www.earthlite.com/ellora_salon_table.htm >> >> The deliver really fast and with the dollar being weak against > sterling you >> will get this couch cheaper than anywhere in the UK and the quality > is far >> superior. > > Yes but with shipping it's going to be much more expensive (they are > handled by moving companies).

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi Dermot, Many thanks. After looking at the site, i favour the Sedona massage table with optional tilt as my asthma patients find it difficult to lie down flat. I'll also get the optional cabinet underneath, very handy and a great idea to order from the states during this currency shift.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 In addition to your couch (which we Yanks call a table) I very highly recommend using a specially designed cushion that is called the " Body Cushion " . It is made to be used in many configurations for different patient positions, but I use it exclusively for treating face-down. It has very well designed supports for the sternum and iliac crests and recesses for the abdomen and breasts. Patients absolutely love it. It allows them to breath very comfortably. The only thing to consider about this is when you buy a treatment couch, you should get one with a face opening cut into the couch rather than one with a face plate that attaches to the end of the couch as the body cushion has its own face plate that should rest over a face opening cut into the couch. They last a long time - I have had one over 15 years and only recently replaced the face plate.I found one site that caries the Body Cushion from a quick Google search, others vendors may sell it also. http://www.bodyworkcentral.com/bodysupport.html Matt - Chinese Medicine Sunday, January 23, 2005 3:57 AM Re: Treatment Couches Hi Dermot, Many thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Just a thought on eclectic tables..... one of my acupuncture colleagues also does fung shi consultations and she suggested to me that the tables that are controlled electronically will have a power field around them that may not be therapeutic.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 They have some really wonderful massage tables at Custom Craftworks – sturdy, silent and beautiful to look at. Price is also fair. They are American, but available in Denmark, so I gues they must available in GB as well?! <http://www.customcraftworks.com/> http://www.customcraftworks.com/ Best regards, Thomas Bøgedal Sørensen WHRDA Lic.
