I was able to get, both a massage chair and table, new through the large warehouse stores. My table was around $ 225.00 from Price Club and my chair was under $ 200.00 from Sam's. They both also have web sites that do delivery; sometimes, after a delivery charge is not much more than paying taxes.

I hope that helps.

If you plan to stay in the business, get a good table because they will last almost forever. I spent $800 on mine new with extra padding and optional covering. You can tell the difference when you lie on it!

funny how people who no nothing of the power of the laying on the hands can tell you not to practice this ancient art. Just do it! Once you have the gift it is impossible not to share it. One can use HT or Reiki to open up the arm for better IV access, without slappping the arm or using a tourniquet which is painful. You can place your hand on a painful low back & drain the pain away. Wow, what a great nurse, & no nasty side effects to the narcotic the hospital wants to sell you! Keep the faith of the healer, & do what you will to help these clients who are in your path for a reason. YOu can go to HTI & look @ the research Dr. C. Hutchinson compiles on the latest studies of HT. Peace!

At this point I cannot use it on my patients(my don says it has to be approved by the medical adm,nursing adm. yada yada..So for the meantime I will continue to learn what I am being called to, if for no one else for myself and those I love. Maybe in time my Don will see it's importance in treating the whole person and help me get it passed to be used on our patiets...In the meantime I am looking for a good used massage table,sometime portable but sturdy...Anyone have leads????
