- the one or more resistance bands;
a massage table;
wherein the massage table comprises;
a tabletop with an upper surface and a lower surface disposed opposite of the upper surface;
a rail;
wherein a perimeter of the tabletop is bounded by the rail that extends a fixed distance away from the upper surface around the perimeter;
wherein the rail has three surfaces, an exterior facing surface, an interior facing surface, and a bottom surface;
wherein the bottom surface faces substantially away from the upper surface;
wherein the exterior facing surface is disposed opposite of the interior facing surface;
wherein the bottom surface is substantially orthogonal to both the exterior facing surface and the interior facing surface;
at least four band-guides, with at least one band-guide for each arm and for each leg of a client;
wherein each band-guide is attached to the massage table;
wherein each band-guide comprises circumscribing structure that captures at least some portion of at least one resistance band selected from the one or more resistance bands, such that the at least one resistance band is associated with the massage table;
wherein the circumscribing structure permits linear translational sliding of the at least some portion of the at least one resistance band that is captured by the circumscribing structure; and
a means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table;
wherein at least a portion of the means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table is attached to the interior facing surface;
wherein at least a different portion of the means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table is attached to the one or more resistance bands.

Abstract
A combination massage table with one or more resistance bands (“combination table”) is disclosed. This combination table may include: a massage table; the one or more resistance bands; and a means for attaching the one or more resistance bands to the massage table; such that a client using the combination table receives at least one improved health benefit as compared against massage therapy without any resistance band use. Methods for using the combination table are also disclosed. Such methods may include: preparing the combination table for use; preparing the client so the client is laying on top of the combination table; and massaging the client while the client at least intermittently engages the one or more resistance bands that are attached to the combination table; wherein this results in the at least one improved health benefit to the client.
