Setting up your portable massage table is easy once you know how to do it. If you move your massage table often, such as for on-site appointments, you’ll quickly become familiar with how to set up and take down your table.

Learn how to set up a portable massage table.

Massage Table Setup Instructions

The first step after reading portable massage therapy table reviews in setting up your portable massage table is to unlock the latches at the end of the table.

Place the table on its side; then reach down and undo the latches.

Open up the massage table so that the legs extend fully.

Read accessible portable massage therapy table reviews to find out if your model has accessories stored underneath, you can remove the accessories at this point.

Next, grab the handles on the side of your massage table—or, if there are no handles, get a good grip on the side of the table—and lift the table until it’s upright on all four legs.

Press down on the center of the table to make sure the legs and cables are firmly locked in place.

Massage Table Height Adjustment

Unless the massage table is already set at the correct height, you’ll need to adjust the table legs to the right height.

This is an important step because it allows you to maintain proper body mechanics while giving massage.

To adjust the table height, unscrew the knob that holds one of the legs in place and adjust the leg to the correct hole for the height you need. Replace the knob so that the leg is securely held in place.

Repeat the process for the other legs. Adjust all four table legs to the same height. Count the number of holes to make sure each leg is properly adjusted.

Massage Table Accessories

Now it’s time to attach the massage table accessories. Insert the headrest attachment into the holes at the end of the table. Depending on the design of your headrest, you will need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to adjust the height and angle of the face cradle.

If your massage table comes with a forward arm rest or side arm extenders, you can attach these accessories as well.

Accessories like these can help your clients feel more comfortable on the table.

Today’s blog is covering the controversial topic of cholesterol and statins.

Before I get to some cool cholesterol facts, I want to talk about the health & medical information that is passed onto us by those we are told to trust.

How many of you have heard over the years that a high cholesterol count is a predictor of poor health and that you are going to keel over and have a heart attack if you don’t cut out all the fat from your diet straight away?

I’m guessing most of you have heard it sometime, from somewhere that is supposed to be an authority on health.

The message is not new, it comes from our doctors, magazines and health journals, etc., and we trust that the news comes from proper research and people who are qualified to interpret it and subsequently share it.

I spend a great deal of my free time reading studies and journal articles about topics that related to my master’s research and to areas that I am personally interested.

My constant reading of a diverse range of material from differing sources affords me a greater understanding of the topic I am reading. It makes sense.

When I visit my GP, I assume (yes I know, assumption makes an ass out of you and me), that my doctor is well read. I believe that they, in the capacity of a medical professional, will adhere to their charter and continue to incorporate professional development and new science-based medical information into their practice, for the benefit of their patients’ health & wellbeing.

We are all busy, with families, jobs, and commitments and personal problems of our own, and I understand very well that committing to continuous improvement outside of working hours is difficult…

However, it has been drummed into me as a registered nurse, that it is part of my professional qualification that I am to seek out new evidence-based therapies or studies that will assist my patients to get to better health.

I expect my doctor or anyone else in the health game to do the same. It’s part of their job description. You should expect it too.

When you ingest cholesterol from your food, should you be worried?

According to Cholesterol Clarity, only 15 percent of the dietary forms of cholesterol that you eat get utilized by your body, the rest is discarded.

Eggs are the food that most people worry. I eat lots of them, and my cholesterol levels are just fine. Eggs are a great source of protein and are essential in my ketogenic diet. Also I am taking keto protein powder that is also a low in carbs (great review of low-carb keto protein powders)

The best part of the egg is the yolk with a plethora of vitamins and minerals in eggs are a terrific source of dietary cholesterol.…

YEAR 6 OPEN EVENTS OCTOBER 2018

QK is under new leadership and is moving into a brand new building in January 2015. If you would like your child to be part of the first year 7 to start their secondary education in the new building please come to one of our open events.

Transition from Primary School

The move from primary school to Quintin Kynaston is supported by an outstanding transition programme with a dedicated team of staff working to ensure all students become successful QK citizens.

Our Year 7 Opening Minds curriculum is designed to develop the necessary skills that students will need to become more independent learners now that they are at secondary school, but also in preparation for university, the world of work and parenthood.  To build on what the students have already learnt in Year 6, we have recruited some experienced primary trained teachers.

Their role is key to ensuring continuity of progress by designing and delivering lessons that ensure a love of learning is maintained whilst additional challenge is provided. We also believe that proficient numeracy and literacy skills are at the heart of successful transition and we have excellent programmes to develop students’ skills and understanding, whatever their ability, to ensure progress and success at QK.…

Moving to secondary school

As a Year 6 student, you will soon be getting ready to make a big change as you leave your primary school and move to a secondary school. Becoming a Year 7 student is an exciting time, but you can also find yourself feeling slightly nervous about what’s in store for you at your new secondary school. A mixture of excitement and anxiety is completely normal and is a feeling shared by all Year 6 students when they get ready for their first day at their new secondary school.

Transition is something we take very seriously at QK. We do our very best to make sure that our new Year 7 students feel comfortable and confident when they join us in September.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Tutor Groups?

When you are accepted at QK you will be put into a tutor group. This will be the class you are attached to throughout your time at QK. You will spend a daily registration time with your  tutor group, as well as being taught together as a class for most of your subjects.  For some practical subjects, such as PE and Technology, you will be in slightly smaller, mixed groups.  There are 8 tutor Groups at QK (Q, U, T, N, K, Y, S & A).  Each Tutor Group has a form tutor – this will be the teacher that has responsibility for you on a day-to-day basis in QK and is the first person to see if you need support.

How will I make new friends?

Having to make new friends can feel daunting. However, in Term 6, when you are preparing to leave your primary school to join QK, you’ll take part in a special “HeadStart Day”. This is a day in June when you come into QK for a day of taster lessons.  On that day, your form tutor will also help you to get to know other students and to new make friends by doing lots of team building activities.

Will I be able to be in the same class as my friends from primary school?
