We are proud to be in partnership with STA and supporting sports therapists, sports injury therapists and soft tissue therapists across the United Kingdom in their professional endeavours! As therapists ourselves we are delighted to assist you with all your massage therapy equipment needs.
We are a small business who are passionate about the benefits of massage therapy and raising the profile of our industry!We have the largest range of treatment tables in Europe so that we have a treatment table for every need! However, we have narrowed down and selected the models below to be best suited to your requirements as a professional sports therapist.
We also recommend some essential accessories which we think are the best fit for your treatments but we have a much wider range of accessories available which you can browse throughout our website using the navigation bar above.
As a member of STA, a special discount has been negotiated for you on all our portable treatment tables and supplies. You can get the details of the discount from STA.
You can choose the model you feel will suit you best based on dimensions, features and budget. Please feel free to get in touch with us for advice if you have any difficulty in deciding!
1. Porta-lite Delta II
The Porta-lite Delta II is our best selling treatment table, particularly to sports therapists. It is also the most comfortable, lightest and strongest lightweight treatment table available today. It comes in 2 widths, 28 inch and 30 inch so is suitable for larger patients which often is the case with professional sports teams.
You can read more details and see all the specifications for this model along with some videos hereor by clicking on the image.
2. Porta-lite Delta I
The Porta-lite delta I has all the same quality and components of the Delta II table but it is narrower at 25 inches wide. This makes it even lighter to carry and the narrower width can be more suited to quick pitch side treatments and assessments. If you are undecided which width to go for, find out the width of the treatment tables you trained on at University and decide if you want to stick with that width or go wider or narrower. For most therapists it is best to stick with a minimum of 28 inches wide for better patient comfort however if you want to make the table as light as possible then the narrower 25 inch wide massage table may be more suitable for you.

3. Earthworks Perform
If you are not so concerned about having a very light weight treatment table then this is hands down the best sports therapy table available on the market. It is the same high quality and has the same components and features as the Porta-lite Delta above except it has a lifting back rest for seated treatments and to raise the patient for increased comfort.
Having a lifting back rest increases the weight by around 3KG however, the Earthwork Perform is still the lightest full dimension treatment table with a lifting back rest on the market. We do sell lighter but you compromise client comfort by reducing on table size and width .
We already supply this model to national team, premiership football and rugby clubs and it is the backbone of many high performance sports treatment centres.
It is available in 2 widths, 25 inch and 28 inch and you can read more details and see all the specifications for this model along with some videos here or by clicking on the image
3. Affinity Versalite
The Affinity Versalite is the same quality as all the tables above but for those who prefer a breath hole in the table rather than at the end of the table, the Versalite can accommodate you.
Also available in 2 different widths, you can read more details and see all the specifications for this model along with some videos here or by clicking on the image
4. Bodypro Active
The 3 treatment tables above are all professional grade tables that will be durable and long lasting to transition with you from student to professional. The quality is the highest you can get.
For those on a tighter budget during university years, the BodyPro Active is a medium range table. It sits between entry level and professional so it is still great value for money.
Also available in 2 different widths, you can read more details and see all the specifications for this model along with some videos here or by clicking on the image

Just like our large range of treatment tables, we have a large range of supplies to help you in your treatments. But to make it easy, we have picked out a few essentials below to get you started and you can always add other supplies at a later date further on in your studies or career.
Top picks for Massage Oils, Lotions & Waxes:
1. Our favourite oil and our customers favourite oil for many years has been the Melrose water dispersible oil. It has a great glide and wipes of the patient nicely without leaving a residue and washes out of towels and couch covers easy peasey!
Melrose also make other fabulous massage oils and lotions for different needs but this is our top pick
2. Our favourite waxes for sports massage therapists are the Songbird Sports
Massage Wax and the Fascial release wax. You can try them both out in economical 100g tub sizes and then if you prefer one or the other buy the larger tubs.
3. Our favourite sports lotion is made by Naqi. They make a number of different lotions for varied grip and treatment styles but the one we recommend for you is the sports lotion.
You can try it out economically in 100ml or 500ml sizes and then if you find it's for you it's available in bulk 5 litre sizes. If you and a few fellow students buy the 500ml sizes you can all chip in and buy the larger 5 litre size to refill your bottles and save even more!
Top picks for client positioning & comfort, hygiene and massage table protection:
Fitted couch covers serve as
Disposable face rest covers allow you to use one fresh piece for each treatment. Much softer and more durable than paper couch roll they come in a very economical pack of 100
Massage bolsters in different sizes are great for getting your patients more comfortable and into positions that allow you to treat them in more efficiently and ergonomically. You can choose from half round, full round and d-shaped. We recommend at least 2 different sizes for back of knees when supine and front of ankles when patient is prone.
