Massage Chairs - Which Chair
Below is a MRR and PLR article in category Health Fitness -> subcategory Fitness Equipment.
Which Massage Chair Should You Choose?
Overview:
Massage chairs first hit the market in the late 1980s, designed to mimic the movements of a professional masseuse. Their goal was to alleviate stress, reduce tension, and improve back pain. Initially, these chairs were costly to produce, making them inaccessible for many. However, two decades later, production costs have decreased, allowing more people to enjoy their benefits.
Types of Massage Techniques:
Massage chairs typically focus on two main techniques: Shiatsu and Swedish massage.
- Shiatsu Massage: Involves pressing, sweeping, patting, and rotating movements. It targets specific areas to improve blood circulation, muscle structure, and internal organ health.
- Swedish Massage: Utilizes long, gliding strokes and kneading motions. It primarily aids in circulation and muscle relaxation.
Choosing the Right Massage Chair:
When selecting a massage chair, you'll encounter a variety of options. High-end models often feature:
- At least two rollers in the back, legs, and arms (some have four).
- Adjustable sizes to fit different users.
- Automatic detection of acupressure points.
- Memory functions to store personal massage programs.
These luxurious, leather-covered chairs can be quite large, requiring ample space.
Features to Consider:
- Leg Airbags: Ensure there are motors for rolling and kneading, as airbags alone only provide a squeezing sensation similar to blood pressure cuffs.
- Arm Massagers: Be cautious with features like air cuffs or claws, as they often add bulk without proven benefits.
Before You Buy:
A massage chair might not be suitable for everyone. It's essential to research and read articles like "Massage Chairs - The Pros and Cons" to ensure it meets your needs. A link to this article is available at the bottom of this page.
Our Decision:
We chose a simple model with wooden arms and an electronic reclining feature for my mother, who has cancer in her spine, hip, and cervical spondylitis. The chair was easy to operate, helped her get up from the sitting position, and fit beautifully with her home's décor. It allowed her to fully relax and maximize the benefits of the massage without taking up too much space.
