During a massage treatment, heat helps warm the muscles up and improves blood flow. According to Spine-Health.com, heat also relaxes the muscles and helps heal them when they're injured and strained. The application of heat during a massage allows the therapist to perform deeper muscle work. The heat also keeps the client warm under the draping. There are a number of massage tables that come with a built in, electronic heating element that can stay warm throughout a massage.

Master Massage Heated Massage Table

This 30-inch massage tables comes with a heater that is easily adjusted. This built-in heating element warms the entire surface of the table and retails for around $400. The table is still adjustable and portable, so you can bring it to your client's location and provide a heated massage experience.

Fitmaster 31-inch Massage Table
