Massage for Partners FAQs | Get Answers Before You Start

Technically? No.
But if you're here to actually enjoy the experience—and not just wing it on the couch or floor—we strongly recommend using a massage table. And here’s why it matters:

First, our video training is designed with the table in mind. That means every technique, body position, and hand movement is demonstrated on a massage table—not a bed, not a futon, not the living room rug. If you want the smoothest learning curve, a table helps you follow along exactly as it’s shown.

Second, body mechanics are everything. A massage table puts you at the right height to give a massage without wrecking your back or bending over weirdly. You’ll be able to move around easily, apply the right amount of pressure, and avoid that post-massage “why does my shoulder hurt now?” feeling.

And if you're the one receiving the massage? A table wins. Every time.
It’s padded. It’s supportive. It has a face cradle so your neck isn’t cranked sideways. It’s what comfort feels like.

It’s also about stability and safety. A table gives you a steady, reliable surface—so you can relax fully and focus on the connection, not whether someone’s about to roll off the edge.

Finally, using a table just feels more legit. It shifts the whole energy from “let’s try this thing” to “we’re creating a vibe.” It turns your space into a sanctuary, even if it’s just your spare room for now.

So no—you don’t have to get a table. But if you’re planning to learn massage at home, especially with a partner, it’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make. It’s an investment in comfort, safety, and the quality of the experience.

Totally worth it.
