Modernising a concept once popular in ancient Egypt, a new massage table from Trautwein offers soothing treatments in warm sand.
The new ‘Vulkanosand’ table has been designed to be an ideal complement for manual massages and a range of relaxing wellness treatments, taking inspiration from the “baths” in warm sands that were used in ancient Egypt to treat physical pains.
With each user having their own unique position on the sand, Trautwein says this enables each individual to be optimally supported. The lava sand is obtained from volcanic rock, which is an effective thermal transfer medium, making the sand mixture soft and responsive to body shape. The soothing dry heat of the “sand bath” warms up and relaxes the body. The table’s surface is protected by a waterproof foil so that there is no direct contact between the sand and the skin.
Music can also be played during treatment, and the sound waves can be felt as the table acts as a sound box as its surface slightly oscillates. The slight vibrations give a gentle massage effect.
The Vulkanosand massage table can also be adjusted in height from 59 to 99cm, with an
electronic level control powering two lifting columns. Switches on both long sides of the
table mean that the height can be easily changed even during treatment.
