5 More Must-Haves In Your New Massage Chair

When making a purchase for a new massage chair there are definitely some significant factors to take in to consideration. Read on below to make sure you know what you are getting in to and what you make sure you look for before any transaction is made.

Customer Service One could say this is possibly the most important thing of all. If something would happen to your massage chair or if you have any other questions or concerns, it is satisfying to have a company that is always available to answer questions. You can?t put a price tag on amazing customer service. Whether it is the manufacturer or the seller, you deserve to have peace of mind in your relationship with them.

Body Size Adjustable There are massage chair companies that offer "sizing" for a chair. If you are looking for a well-manufactured chair, height and width adjustments are standard and should accommodate virtually every body type. The last thing you want is to buy a chair for the family that is "sized" for a 6' 5" man and the 5' 2" woman of the house can't even use it. A chair that has built-in height and width adjustments will cater to everyone?s needs.

Remote Control Most new massage chairs (recliners) come with a remote control to make chair adjustments. There's nothing worse that having to get up off the chair to change the settings.

Appearance A lot of people want their chair to blend in comfortably and seamlessly with the room d?cor of their home or office. Don't compromise on looks for a good price or you?ll just end up disliking the chair because it looks dreadful compared to the room it?s in. You will feel nothing but regret and stress. There is no point in having a massage chair that stresses you out when it is supposed to relieve you of any stress.

Pleased Customers A salesman will obviously tell you everything you want to hear to get you to want his chair. However, you need to talk with present customers and find out what they think about their massage chair. Are there any testimonials the seller has for you to read? If there is no list of satisfied customers just walk away. Trust me, if there are no testimonials something isn?t right. There should always be testimonials on every seller's website.

Massage Chairs - Which Chair

Choosing a Massage therapy chair

There are many different types of massage chair available today and they all seem to come with an array of options. So how do you decide which one to buy?

We have been looking for a suitable massage chair for some time now. My mother not only has cancer of the spine but it has spread to her hip and to top it all she has cervical spondilitis in her neck and shoulder. As a family we thought we would buy her a massage therapy chair (they are not cheap!), in the hope that it would relieve some of the pain. When we came to look for one that would suit her, however, we found that there were all sorts of different options available.

A brief history of massage chairs

Massage chairs were first introduced in the late 1980?s. They were developed to recreate the motions and techniques used by an actual masseuse. The purpose was to relieve stress, tension and help improve back pain. The expense of producing the chairs, which had to be passed on to the customer, meant that they were usually beyond the means of most people. The cost of producing massage chairs has reduced and more and more people are benefiting from the effects.

How massage chairs work

Massage chairs try to recreate two types of massage therapy techniques ? Shiatsu and Swedish. These are quite different. Shiatsu tends to use pressing, sweeping, patting and rotating movements. It focuses on releasing tension in specific locations of the body to restore blood circulation, muscle structure and benefit internal organs too. Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes and kneading motions and has the most benefit on restoring the circulation and helping to allow muscles to relax too.

Massage chair options

There are a number of options available when looking to purchase a massage chair. At the luxury end of the market, the chairs have at least 2 rollers each in the back, legs and arms (some have 4). The chairs adjust to the size of the person sitting in the chair and automatically detect acupressure points that will be specifically worked on. These very expensive massage chairs memorise the shape of the person sitting in the chair and develop programs of massage for specific areas of the body. It will memorise these programs so that they can be reproduced whenever that person sits in the chair again. The downside of these very expensive, leather covered chairs, is that they are HUGE and not for the normal sized lounge.

Other things to look out for in a massage chair:

Air bags in the leg area: These are not beneficial unless there are motors to roll and knead the legs. All they do is squeeze the legs, just like when someone has their blood pressure taken.

Arm massagers, claws or air cuffs: Not only do these make the chair look bulky, there is no proof that they do anything other than squeeze the forearm!

Be careful because a massage chair isn?t necessarily going to be a benefit to you. Make sure that you read Massage Chairs ? the Pros and Cons before making any decisions.

Want to know what we chose? We bought a chair that just had wooden arms and could recline electronically. The programmer was easy to read and use. In the upright position it also helped my mother to get out of the chair. That way she can relax completely, feet up, in the chair to maximise the benefits of the massage. The massage chair is not too bulky and fitted in with the d?cor of her home.

Discover Working With a Massage Chair

Many people in the industry of massage work with a massage chair. Those that work with the chair are not usually giving a full body massages, but may be performing a hand massage or foot massage. These techniques are often used in offices or on street-sides, as the massage chair is portable and can be taken anywhere that a massage can be given.

Trigger point therapy is often a practice that accompanies massage therapy. This may be performed in a massage chair in some capacities, especially if trigger point therapy is used on the feet, back of the neck, or hands.

Quick Fact: There is evidence that massage was employed by the Chinese as early as 3000 years ago. Their literature contains treatises upon the subject written some thousands of years ago. An ancient Chinese book entitled, “The Cong-Fou of the Tao-Tse " of which a French translation appeared about a century ago, was the foundation of our modern massage.

Thumb kneading is one of the techniques that people using a massage chair commonly use on their patients or customers. Thumb kneading works the muscles in a direct way, much like trigger point therapy, and enables full working of the muscles and joints because of the pressure generated from the thumbs. Thumb kneading is the most effective technique used to massage feet or hands.

When people use thumb kneading, they typically make alternate thumb circles with their thumbs around the area. It is not uncommon to see a person making alternate thumb circles on the soles of someone's foot or in the palm of someone's hand. These circles aggressively work the muscles to provide relief by unlocking and releasing endorphins from the brain, which make people feel good and reduce pain.

Did you know that according to the American Massage Therapy Association massage can reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, increase blood circulation and lymph flow and improve range of motion.

The use of a massage chair can be a way of making it easier on the masseuse to get at the feet or hands of the patient. Many people use both a massage table and a massage chair as a part of the whole massage experience. Having both a chair and table allows better access to various parts of the patient's body.

Buying a massage chair is a great addition to any massage business. It can help provide more adequate and complete service to the customer and can help provide relief for his or her needs more effectively. A massage chair can truly change the course of a business directed towards comfort and customer satisfaction.

Massage Chairs an Alternative Method in Receiving a Massage

If you are on the go and don’t have time to lay down for a nice soothing massage, but are in need of relaxation and stress relief, another option is the Massage Chair.The massage is given over the top of your clothing, you sit up, and in 10 minutes or so you are finished and ready to go.

David Palmer in the 1980’s introduced a sitting posture massage. Since then, this new innovation in massage therapy has more fully developed and grown popular. As with the traditional massage, tables have been designed and built to create the most relaxing position in order to provide best results. Chair massages have done the same thing and developed their own unique positions to maximize comfort and produce the similar results of stress relief, muscle balance, and relaxation. There are two specific chairs used: desktoppers and portable massage chairs.

The desktopper is portable, light weight, and fits on the top of a desk (convenient for offices which do not have a lot of space, and you use the chair in your office or room) or table. They come with similar look of the head and upper portion of a massage table.

Portable chairs do not look like a chair, but are specifically designed for chair massages. Again benefits are light weight, can fit in smaller places than a massage table, and are specific for regions of head, neck, shoulders and back. Typically, you will not see full body massages done in the chair. They take less time and provide similar results.

Another popular chair is the electronic lumbar support chair. These often recline and give the needed lumbar support while mechanically massaging. There are electronic and digital chairs that you can select the various types, strength, and regions of the massage. These chairs can be put in a professional office, at home, or in a student’s dorm room. Some of these recliners come with a stool to massage your calves.
