The masseur or Bodyworker will always instruct you to find the right and good position and he/she will also adjust the table to fit you.
Normally the customer lies on the stomach or back. When lying face down the face will be placed in a hole to reduce unnecessary pressure. Your hands can be on either side of you or on the hand supports by the shoulder and head.
Under the ankles we place an ankle pillow to help relax the feet. If necessary other pillows are used to support the body.
When you lie on your back your head will be supported by the same headrest that supported your face when face down and the masseur will adjust it upwards. A soft pillow can be used during massage of the neck. Supports are also used on the sides of the massage table so you can rest your hands beside your body. Many customers have their hands on their chest or stomach. The ankle pillow is moved under the knees so that the position is more comfortable and relaxed. For customers with issues in their lower back a higher psoas pillow can be used under the knees.
The customer can also be treated in a sitting position or lying on their side. Old age, low mobility, bad back pain, pregnancy, etc. can be reasons why lying on the stomach is not possible. In these cases the face rest with two hinges or a neck/shoulder support, which is placed on the table or portable massage chair, can be used.
