What is the approximate space recommended for a massage?

The recommended space for a massage session is typically around 10x12 feet. This size allows for enough room for the massage table, the therapist to move around comfortably, and any additional equipment or accessories that may be used during the session.

A space of this size accommodates both the therapist's need to perform various techniques without feeling cramped and the client's comfort, ensuring they have adequate room to relax. Additionally, a 10x12 space generally provides enough space for any necessary storage or layout of items such as linens, oils, or chairs, making for an efficient working environment.

While smaller options might seem feasible for a single massage table, they often lack the necessary space for proper movement or additional treatment modalities that may be integrated into a session. Therefore, the 10x12 size strike a balance between practicality and function in a therapeutic setting.
