New Technologies Make Massage Chairs a Viable Product for Families

Premier Health Products, a leading manufacturer of robotic massage chairs, now offers a new technology that allows users to customize the massage chair to fit their individual body size. This technology, coined BioFit Technology, makes owning a massage chair more feasible for households with members of drastically differing heights.

Premier has added BioFit technology to their recently released PHP-2025 stretch massage chair to boost summer sales, and compete with industry giant Panasonic (http://www.premiermassagechairs.org/massage-chair-2025.html.) Though Premier Health Products still feels that no single chair is best for all, BioFit technology makes the PHP-2025 a great choice for many. Combined with a multitude of top of the line features and an attractive price, once again we feel that Premier is a brand that should not be overlooked.

BioFit technology does just what it says, it adjusts the chair to fit the user's unique frame. Beyond the clever name, the technology itself is quite simple, yet effective. For years massage chair brands have been cashing in on body scanning technologies that tailor the massage to the users. But many of these body scanning systems measure width and contour and leave height out of the equation.

?We wanted to make a mid priced massage chair that was as versatile as our high end chairs for the price conscious user,? says Jon Campbell of http://www.premiermassagechairs.org/index.html. The result was the PHP-2025 complete with BioFit, the world?s first height programmable massage chair.

Taller users (over 6 feet) tend to need a massage chair with a longer stroke length to cover the range of their back and neck. The problem with this occurs when shorter users (under 5 feet 4 inches) sit in the same chair, the massage rollers spend too much time on the back of their heads and even above it. Not only is this a waste of the massage chair's extended abilities, but it can actually be uncomfortable for the user.

With BioFit users can manually program the PHP-2025 to any one of five different height settings. The chair then adjusts the length of the rolling stroke to an appropriate length for users of various heights, both short and tall.

As stated earlier, there is no one massage chair that is best for all, but if ever there was a massage chair that came close, the PHP-2025 with BioFit Technology is it. It is versatile, strong, attractive and affordable. Certainly a great addition to Premier Health Product?s line of massage chairs.

Growing Massage Chair Health Trend

How many of you have noticed the growing trend in malls, airports, train stations, department and specialty stores and maybe even your best friends home of the Massage Chair? They seem to be everywhere now days and are almost always in use. People of all ages are feeding the plush vending chair dollar bills like a pleasure giving video game.

This new health trend is sweeping Japan, Europe and has now infiltrated the U.S. with dozens of models and price ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. A recent LA Times article describes them as “not your fathers La-z-boy” and that, is an understatement for sure.

Websites like www.massagechairoutlet.com are popping up all over the internet touting massage strength, air compression, rolling, kneading, tapping and “shiatsu style” massage.

If any of you have had a “shiatsu style” massage it’s similar to getting rolled in a dark ally by a couple of bullies taking out their frustrations on your back. But man do you feel better the next day.

Not surprisingly massage as a health practice has been around for thousands of years. It was actually massage that lead to the advent of acupressure and acupuncture in the Far East as early as 6000 BC and has been continually refined ever since.

Medical professionals have pointed out that there exists a particular type of cell under the skin. This cell normally sits dormant, however when kneaded or massaged, this cell becomes stimulated. Once awakened, this cell enters the bloodstream and develops into a reticular cell, which can remarkably strengthen the body's immune functions and boost the disease-resisting abilities of the human body.

Today’s massage chairs, through computer technology, can actually “sense” the size and shape of each individuals back and apply varying degrees and types of massage to acupressure points on the users back, neck, legs and even foot to produce an amazingly human like massage.

Stimulation of these acupressure points has been shown to help with: Digestion, Insomnia, Headaches, Circulation, Fatigue, Muscle Cramping, Fibromyaligia and may even effect endorphin levels producing an elevated emotional state, which is what usually happens when I get a massage, even a poor one.

Having tried several of the massage chairs found on the above internet site I can say that this new massage chair trend is probably here to stay. It’s much like the TV, microwave and now cell phones. Once you have one, it’s hard to imagine life without it.
