massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I just have something that I needed to deal with this past weekend and I think I did ok. I had a very nice young lady come and ask for a massage and wanted to try bamboo fusion that I have been offering she called and I told her to stop by that way we could work on her. Well when she got to me I had my paper work ready for her to fill out and saw that she was overweight not a little but a lot I would day she was at least 500lbs plus my table only hold 500 but not sure what the working weight is. I had a very tough dilemma what to do what how do I work on her. Lucky for me she received a call from her Mother and asked if I could work on her and her Mother I said sure but not that day she asked if she could reschedule I told her that would be fine. Well after she left I went online to look for tables that could hold her but she was going to stop by in two day and I could not buy a table by then so I went to a local home improvement store and purchased a adjustable saw horse and put it underneath the table and had a sheet cover it so it would not be seen by her and it worked great. I did not know how to handle the situation but if not for her Mother calling I don’t know how I would have handled it. I hope this does not ever happened to anyone but if it does those adjustable saw horses work fine. Take care and I hope you all have a very prosperous and happy New Year.

What a brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing that as I'm sure I would never have thought of it. Luckily, the heaviest people I have ever treated (in 25 years of practice) have been around 275 pounds, and my table will take that weight okay.
I very much doubt that my table would take over 500 pounds!
Thanks for sharing.
i hope she understand that loosig weight could a good priority for 2010.
Wow, that's a gratuitous comment!
