6 Ways to Use Your Face Cradle More Effectively

The Velcro back allows you to adjust the face cradle pad as needed.

• Use the face cradle pad as a neck bolster in the supine or side-lying position. Since the pad is Velcro, it can be removed from the face cradle attachment and used in a variety of different ways.
• Move the face cradle pad closer to table or further away. The Velcro attachments allow you to adjust the face cradle pad position on the head base to essentially lengthen or shorten the massage table. Some clients may be more comfortable with the face pad close to the table, and others may prefer it further away.
• If client prefers using the face hole, remove the face cradle to move around the massage table easily without maneuvering around the face cradle.
• Ask if the client needs to meet with someone or return to work after the massage. If so, begin the session with the client in the prone position and then switch to the supine position. This will give time for any pressure or wrinkle marks left on the client’s face to fade away.
• Use face cradle covers that are smooth and wrinkle-free to prevent them from leaving wrinkle marks on the client’s face. Your clients will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
• For extra luxurious service, consider purchasing a memory foam face cradle pad. It automatically adjusts to the unique contours of the client’s face and provides the most comfortable head rest possible for your clients. Sometimes a little extra luxury and special service can go a long way towards increasing your client retention rate.
