Massage Warehouse(R) Partners With EarthLite(R) to Create an Exclusive, Customized Portable Massage Table That Supports the Massage Therapy Foundation

BOLINGBROOK, IL--(Marketwire - July 7, 2009) - Massage Warehouse (www.massagewarehouse.com), the largest supplier of massage equipment and supplies, and EarthLite (www.earthlite.com), the world's largest manufacturer of massage and spa treatment tables, have partnered to create an exclusive portable massage table, the Savannah™. A portion of Savannah sales will be donated to support the Massage Therapy Foundation.

"The Massage Therapy Foundation is excited about the new Savannah table and the unique partnership of Massage Warehouse and EarthLite. This partnership will help further massage research and help bring massage therapy to more people around the globe," says Diana Thompson, President of the Massage Therapy Foundation.

Savannah is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind portable massage table that will be distributed solely by Massage Warehouse. The Savannah features a hardwood Maple frame, sturdy Birch decking, 2 1/2" cushioning system, unique half-Reiki and half-standard endplates, dual wooden headrest outlets and more. The table will be sold as a value package that includes an EarthLite deluxe adjustable headrest, face cushion and single pocket carry case. Ten dollars of the proceeds from every Savannah sold will be donated to the Massage Therapy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, public charity that promotes research, community service and education in the field of therapeutic massage and bodywork.

"The Savannah is a beautiful, eco-friendly, portable massage table that is packed with professional features in a distinct, rich espresso semi-gloss, water-based lacquer and warm latte colored Natursoft™ PU-free upholstery," says Jim Chenevey, President and CEO of EarthLite. "But the real beauty of the table is its continual gift back to the massage industry."

"We were looking to create an exclusive table for our customers, but wanted it to be more than a unique, eco-friendly table at an incredible value," says Heather Zdan, Vice President of Marketing at Massage Warehouse. "Partnering with EarthLite provided the opportunity that Massage Warehouse wanted. Our mutual donation program is what really sets this table apart and is a direct extension of Massage Warehouse's mission to help and support the massage industry."
