A touch above the rest

In the mid-1980s, custom cabinet and furniture maker Ron Tinsley received an unusual request from a friend, who happened to be a massage therapist: Could he help craft a better massage table, one that was strong and stable but also catered to the comfort of both therapists and clients?

It was a challenge the woodworker was glad to tackle. Tinsley looked at current models—typically heavy, cumbersome and unable to withstand the rigors often required during massage treatments. He re-engineered a new type of wood table—more solid, durable and comfortable than any others on the market.

Word spread, and what began as a side project became a full-time business. Custom Craftworks launched in 1986, carving out a niche for high-end, well-made, customized massage tables that meet the ergonomic needs of therapists and comfort requirements of clients.

Since then, Custom Craftworks has grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of massage tables, chairs, equipment and accessories in the United States. Acquired by Pivotal Health Solutions in 2009, Custom Craftworks continues to build thoughtfully constructed, long-lasting products for students, therapists, and educators in the massage, therapy, and holistic health fields.

Our Values

Innovation

Custom Craftworks is currently based out of Pivotal Health Solution's Springfield, OR location. Innovation continues to be the company’s hallmark as Custom Craftworks was the first in the industry to design and build custom tables with breast recesses, as well as its one-of-a-kind prenatal tables. Very specific thought goes into every Custom Craftworks design, from the thickness of the wood to the choice of source materials that are both strong and flexible enough to accommodate all shapes and sizes. Adjustable table height, rounded corners, and portability meet therapists’ ergonomic needs. Upholstery and foam padding are also carefully considered to ensure client comfort.
