Back Massage Chairs

The back massage chair is a relatively new component of equipment for massage therapy clinics. However, you can have one of these at home to simulate the effect of having a masseuse work on your back muscles and connective tissues. The aim of the design of this type of chair is to help relieve stress and tension and to bring you relief from back pain. The type of massage that you get from this chair is very similar to both Swedish massage and Shiatsu. For Swedish massage, you get the feeling of the long stroking glides of the hands as well as the kneading of the muscles. The Shiatsu technique gives you the pressing, rotating and rolling motions.

There are three main components of a massage chair for the back to give you these movements. They are:

* Motors - the essential part of the chair. These motors power the nodes and rollers so that they move to all pressure points of the back. You can also use them to adjust the chair to make you feel comfortable. There is a control pad that will help you choose the preset motion you want for a specific treatment. You can choose movements that target your back from the neck to the lower back.
* Nodes and Rollers - these vary is size and shape with the intention of emulating fingers and hands. You can use a chair with larger nodes so that you get a more generalized massage or one with smaller nodes and rollers to pinpoint specific sections of your back muscles. There are programs you can choose so that you get the relief you need.
* Computer assisted adjustments - The chair will automatically adjust according to your weight and height. When you sit in the chair, it will measure your back and adjust the nodes and rollers accordingly.

Of course, this doesn't give you the human touch you may need. A therapist will tell you where the problems lie and give you exercises that will also aid in relieving your discomfort.

Just for thirty minutes or so. It would be awesome to have a daily massage. God knows your spouse is never going to do it. Hey, I have got an idea. Why not check into one of those contemporary massage chairs? Folks go nuts over these things. But first, you may want to read a massage chair review. If you are going to fork out the dough, you definitely do not want to get a lemon.

Have you ever been in Sharper Image? Of course you have at some point or another. This new-age gadget store is rather hard to miss. I think they have stuck one in virtually every mall in the United States. I guess it's safe to assume that people love this interesting technology. I certainly go gaga over some of it. However, there are a few items I do not quite understand. But, I am sure they suit someone just fine. The new-age massage chair is definitely not one of them. I would love to own one of these. The cool thing is you can sit in any one your please in the stores. Take a seat and let the chair massage your troubles away. In fact, I just read a massage chair review on one of them. It was the one you always spot in the Sharper Image display window. It sits low to the floor like a video game chair and has drink holders on either side. It did receive a fairly decent massage chair review. Now, you have to keep in mind that these massage chair reviews, like any other reviews, are some individual's opinion. The truth is that some may like it and some may not.

What is a good reason for reading a massage chair review you may ask? Well, for me it concerns the overall quality of the product. I want a massage chair that is going to last and function well over time. Furthermore, I would suggest that you check these chairs out in person. I guess you could say that the massage chair rub-down is not quite as gentle as the human hand.
