A treatment table helps ensure the esthetician can maintain good posture if it is what?

• A. Adjustable
• B. Fixed
• C. Portable
• D. Cushioned

Answer: (A)

Maintaining good posture comes from having equipment that adapts to your body and the client’s position. An adjustable treatment table lets you set the height and angle so your spine stays neutral and your shoulders stay relaxed. When the table can be raised or lowered to roughly elbow height while you work, you avoid excessive bending, twisting, or reaching, which protects your back, neck, and wrists during long sessions. It also makes it easier to accommodate clients of different sizes without compromising your alignment. A fixed table locks you into one height, forcing awkward body positions. A portable table might be less stable or harder to position precisely, and cushioning alone doesn’t address height or angle. So an adjustable table best supports proper, ergonomic posture.
