     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Presently (circa 2015), the inventors are not aware of any massage table combined with attached resistance bands. The inventors have discovered that by combining (e.g., by attaching) one or more resistance bands to a massage table, that during a given massage therapy session, wherein a client may also utilize the resistance bands, an improved (synergistic) health benefit may result, as compared to massage therapy utilizing only the massage table without any resistance bands. 
     There then is a need in the art for a combination massage table with one or more resistance bands; as well as method(s) for using such a combination massage table with one or more resistance bands. 
     It is to these ends that the present invention has been developed. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     To minimize the limitations in the prior art, and to minimize other limitations that will be apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, the present invention describes a combination massage table with one or more resistance bands (hereinafter, a combination table). In some embodiments, such a combination table may comprise: a massage table; the one or more resistance bands; and a means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table; such that a client using the combination table may receive at least one improved health benefit as compared against massage therapy with no resistance band use. Furthermore, a method for using the combination table may be described and disclosed herein. Such a method may comprise steps of: preparing the combination table for use; preparing the client so the client is laying on top of an upper surface of the combination table; massaging the client while the client at least intermittently engages one or more resistance bands that are attached to the combination table; wherein the intermittent engagement of the one or more resistance bands while the client is being massaged may result in at least one improved health benefit to the client. 
     It is an objective of the present invention to provide a combination massage table with one or more resistance bands (hereinafter, a combination table) that may provide at least one improved health benefit to the client using the combination table as compared against a massage table without any attached resistance bands. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table where the one or more resistance bands may be engaged by the upper body and/or the lower body of the client. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table where the one or more resistance bands may be engaged by at least one hand or arm and/or at least one ankle or leg of the client. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table wherein there may be at least one or more resistance bands for each limb of the client. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table wherein there may be at least two or more resistance bands for at least one limb of the client; wherein the two or more resistance bands that may be paired for a particular limb may have different resistances and/or uses. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table wherein the one or more resistance bands may have different levels of resistances; such of these one or more resistance band may be color coded to visually indicate these different levels of resistances. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide the combination table wherein the combination table may be operated in at least two operational configurations, a deployed configuration and a folded configuration; wherein the deployed configuration may be for use and the folded configuration may be for transporting and/or storing the combination table. 
     It is yet another objective of the present invention that one or more resistance bands may be combined with a massage table in a fashion that does not interfere with a masseuse&#39;s ability to massage the client and/or with the masseuse&#39;s ability to access the client. 
     These and other advantages and features of the present invention are described herein with specificity so as to make the present invention understandable to one of ordinary skill in the art, both with respect to how to practice the present invention and how to make the present invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     A combination massage table with one or more resistance bands (hereinafter, a combination table) may be described and disclosed herein. In some embodiments, such a combination table may comprise: a massage table; the one or more resistance bands; and a means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table; such that a client using the combination table may receive at least one improved health benefit as compared against massage therapy without resistance band use. Furthermore, a method for using the combination table may be described and disclosed herein. Such a method may comprise steps of: preparing the combination table for use; preparing the client so the client is laying on top of an upper surface of the combination table; massaging the client while the client at least intermittently engages one or more resistance bands that are attached to the combination table; wherein in the at least intermittent engagement of the one or more resistance bands while the client is being massaged may result in the at least one improved health benefit to the client. 
     In the following discussion that addresses a number of embodiments and applications of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, where depictions are made, by way of illustration, of specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. 
     A  FIG. 1  series of figures may comprise  FIG. 1A  and  FIG. 1B . These two figures may depict a combination massage table with one or more resistance bands  100  (hereinafter the combination table  100 ) that may be in use with a client  901  and a masseuse  951 .  FIG. 1A  may depict combination table  100  where at least an upper portion of client  901 &#39;s body may be receiving a health benefit, shown from a top perspective view.  FIG. 1B  may depict combination table  100  where at least a lower body portion of the client&#39;s  901  body may be receiving a health benefit, shown from a top perspective view. Note the remaining views may not depict client  901  or masseuse  951 . Also note, the health benefit that client  901  may be receiving in  FIG. 1A  and in  FIG. 1B  may or may not be the same health benefit as between what may be depicted in these two figures. 
     In these  FIG. 1  series of figures, masseuse  951  may be massaging client  901 . Simultaneously, client  901  may be engaging one or more resistance bands  301 . For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, in  FIG. 1A , at least one of the client&#39;s  901  hands may be engaging a handle  305  that may be in communication with at least one resistance band  301 ; wherein that at least one resistance  301  may also be anchored to the massage table  200  of the combination table  100 . That is, in some embodiments, combination table  100  may comprise massage table  200 . For example, and without limiting the scope of the present invention, in  FIG. 1B , at least one of client&#39;s  901  ankles may be engaged by an ankle strap  306  that may be in communication with at least one resistance band  301 ; wherein that at least one resistance  301  may also be anchored to the massage table  200  of the combination table  100 . 
     Because of inherent resistance quality (e.g., arising from a given elasticity modulus of a given resistance band  301 ), when client  901  may be engaging a given resistance band, at least some muscles in client  901  may also be engaged, e.g., in a flexed state; while simultaneously, client  901  may be receiving various massage techniques from masseuse  951 , either on the engaged (i.e., activated) muscle of the client  901  and/or in different related muscles of the client  901  or some combination of such muscles; wherein a synergistic health benefit may be received by client  901 . 
     This health benefit for client  901  may be one or more of: an increase in relaxation; a decrease in stress; an increase in mobility; an increase in flexibility; a decrease in stiffness; a decrease in pain; improved blood flow and/or blood circulation; reduction of headache quantity; reduction of headache severity; improved rehabilitation; improved recovery and/or the like. Such health benefits may be synergistic when the massage techniques are combined with resistance band  301  use, in that these health benefits may be derived faster as compared to massage techniques without resistance band  301  use. Furthermore, another important synergistic health benefit may be an increase in client  901  compliance, because with resistance band  301  use combined with massage, client  901  may be interactive, more involved, engaged, and/or in control of their given massage session (as compared to massage alone with no resistance band use); and this improved client  901  compliance may further facilitate with obtaining faster health benefits (as compared to massage alone with no resistance band use). Additionally, as a collateral benefit, client  901  may simultaneously be exercising various muscles, resulting in calorie burning and/or muscle strengthening and/or toning. 
     In some embodiments, masseuse  951  may be providing instructions to client  901  and educating on how, when, where, and why client  901  may be engaging one or more resistance bands  301 . 
     A  FIG. 2  series of figures may comprise  FIG. 2A  through and including  FIG. 2F . These  FIG. 2  series of figures may focus on depicting various geometry and/or structures of massage table  200 ; wherein in some embodiments, combination table  100  may comprise massage table  200 .
