Static weight is the amount of weight the table will hold without any movement of the table. Place a 3000 lb. truck on a massage table, but do not touch — just look. Gently push the truck — watch it and the massage table topple over. Working weight is determined by the weight of the client and takes into account movement of the massage table. Movement is defined by the pushing down and sideways, pulling and rocking motion encountered during a massage session.
