Each table has its own set of advantages, giving the massage professional a number of options that allow them to best serve the needs of their specific set of clientele.

On this page you will find general information about some of the excellent portable table models that Oakworks manufactures in its US factory.
NOVA Advanced Breast Comfort Package
While a good massage table should be supportive, too much support around the upper torso area creates painful pressure in the adipose tissue of the breasts of some clients. The majority of massage techniques require the client to endure the discomfort of lying in the prone position for extended periods of time, further aggravating already sensitive blood vessels and nerve endings and creating distress during what should be a time of blissful relaxation.
Oakworks ergonomic Nova ABC System provides an ingenious solution to this age-old problem. By including an adjustable, air cushion supported pad in the upper portion of the table, the ABC system allows the operator to customize the level of support in order to provide their client with a more personalized massage experience. By contouring to a variety of body types, the ABC System ensures that the massage therapist can adequately address the specialized needs of a wider range of clientele. The adjustable pad can also be raised above the level of the table itself, providing unrivaled neck and back support to the cervical vertebrae in the supine position for those in need of range of motion work, making the table as useful for physical or occupational therapy and sports medicine as it is for massage.
The NOVA Table is a tried and true design that has been a best seller for over 20 years. It is especially popular in the resort industry, given the wide range of width and height options available. The NOVA is specially designed to be the industry standard professional massage table, with the ability to accommodate any bodywork services that a client may request.
