require you spending thousands of dollars. So having massage chair will

Do you know massage chairs can provide some enormous health benefits that
an ordinary massage therapy or regular exercise can’t provide? Yap, that’s
100% true. Massage chair not just greatly works on reducing stress and tension
from muscles, but also helps alleviate anxiety, high blood pressure and
depression. A recent survey shows that chair massages are 32% effec�ve in
elimina�ng back and neck pains where ordinary pain killers fail to provide
sa�sfactory results. Even, some�mes massage chairs are used as a supplement
for the cancer pa�ents’ treatment as these chairs o�en help to alleviate side
effects of cancer like fa�gue and nausea and also improve the func�on of
immune system.
What To Look For:
Today’s top quality chairs usually come with 3 to 8 common pre-defined
programs/ features. Even some chair manufacturers are offering customiza�on
feature to provide customized massages as per individuals’ requirements. Here
we will break down all the most important issues and features that you should
need to know if you want to find out a perfect chair for yourself.
Massage Techniques: Modern massage chair manufacturers have included
different massage techniques in different massage chairs. Even, some chairs
can simultaneously combine mul�ple massage techniques to provide more
intense massages. These chairs are capable of providing massages like Swedish
Massage, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Tapping Massage,
Rolling Massage, Kneading Massage, Vibra�on Massage, Air Compressor
Massage, Zero Gravity, etc. So before buying this chair, you have to decide at
first- what type of massage technique you want to have from your chair and
make sure that the chair is capable of providing your desired massage.
Massage Programs: Some top quality massage chair manufacturers are
offering fully automated chairs. These types of chairs come with a �mer which
allows the users to get massaged simply by pressing a bu�on. Such chairs also
include scanning mechanism, which automa�cally scans an individual’s full
body to detect s�ff and stress areas and customize programs to deliver
appropriate pressure or massage to the stressed areas.
Massage Intensity: The intensity or strength of delivering massage vary from
brand to brand. Modern chair manufacturers some�mes provide the
opportunity to customize the strength of massage whenever needed. Actually
the intensity or strength of massage largely depends on the torque power
generated by the motor installed in the chair. That means the more motors, the
more torque powers, and the more massage strength will be. So you must
make sure that the motors installed in the chair are capable of genera�ng
enough torque power to provide your desired massage intensity.
Massage Chair Size: Although most of the massage chairs are usually designed
to fit all body types and sizes, but if you are taller, thinner, shorter or wider
than average, you need to make sure that the chair fits with your body before
buying that chair.
Heated Massage: Latest chairs come with the feature of heated massage seat.
This heat massage greatly helps to increase blood circula�on throughout the
body and also eases pains and aches. So, if your desired massage chair comes
with this op�ons, it would be a plus point.
Massage Stroke: The length of massage stroke is really an important
considera�on in case of buying a perfect massage chair. A midrange chair
usually has massage stroke of around 20 inches which can’t cover everything
between neck and low back. Only high-end chairs can provide complete
massage covering everything between low back and neck which usually have
massage stroke of around 30 inches. Now it’s up to you that what range of
massage stroke you want to get from your chair.
Massage Airbags: Massage airbags can provide great relief from tension and
s�ffness by delivering pressurized air to small pouches, installed in the chair
seat, the chair backrest, and the o�oman and some�mes in the armrest or
headrest. If you feel that massage airbags are right for you, then make sure
that your desired chair include this airbag op�on.
Chair Upholstery: Modern chairs are usually covered with genuine leather or
synthe�c leather. Although genuine leather is preferred for all other home
appliances, but when it is related to massage, synthe�c leather is highly
recommended. It’s because this synthe�c leather has been par�cularly
engineered to use for massage chairs which can handle the significant amount
of heat generated from all the moving parts and hea�ng pads of chair. So if you
want to ensure the longevity of your massage chair in long run, obviously you
should choose synthe�c leather covering the chair.
Warran�es:
Always carefully consider the warranty op�ons that the massage chair
manufacturers are offering with their chairs. Warranty that is offered with the
chair is a good indicator of that chair’s quality. Because if the manufacturers
don’t have any belief or reliance on the quality of their chairs, they will
obviously not offer any warranty or money back guarantee with their products.
That’s the reason why some of the best chairs come with coverage of up to 3
years. So if you want to ensure the longevity of your massage chair, try to have
chair with extended coverage.
Before Buying Massage Chair- A Few Things to Remember:
Carefully check the dimensions of your massage chair to make sure that
it will fit through your door and comfortably within your home.
Make sure that the parts of massage chair can be removed in case of
installing, moving or repairing the chair. Otherwise it would create hassle
for you in the future whenever you need to repair or move the chair.
If you have any par�cular physical problem or severe injury, consult with
your physician before making the purchase to avoid unwanted harm or
injury.
Buying massage chair is a long term investment for you. So try to get an
accurate idea about your desired chair. One simple way to do so is to
check out the customer reviews and tes�monials of your selected
massage chair. Always give more priority on customer reviews and
tes�monials rather than ra�ngs or words from sales representa�ves.
