Super Fitness Health BlogCan Massage Chairs Actually Work?
Massage has been around for a long time and is often used to soothe aches and pains. Just think about how good it is to rub your own feet when they’re hot and tired. Like many things, if it’s done properly it can work wonderfully, although you may have trouble massaging your own back, if it’s aching. Not everyone can afford to pay a professional. A professional massage can cost 40 and up and for some people that can be too much to have done on a regular basis.
So what can you do if you’d like the benefits of a massage every week – or even every day – but you can’t afford the regular cost of treatment? Well, there are a number of things you could do, but one of the easiest and most economical over the long term is to buy one of the growing selection of home massage ‘chairs’, such as the SBM-500h, especially if you get a homedics shiatsu massager at a good price.
What a massage chair is for is to give you selectable levels of massage intensity and usually, to add heat to the massage. The different models have different features, but common to all of them is the concept of “zones”. There are usually at least a couple of zones of massage, which may be independently switchable and controllable so that you can enjoy the massage in the area where you need it most.
Quality models, like the homedics massager, or Homedics shiatsu massage cushion offer independently controlled back and shoulder massage. When you’ve experienced the facility to choose the area to be massaged, just by flicking a button you’ll be reluctant to revert to a basic model!
The models with heat output are also lovely to sink into on a cold winter’s evening. Sitting on a chair that gently warms your back and shoulders and combines it with a gentle, de-stressing massage, is a lovely way to relax and unwind after the tensions of the day.
If you have any health issues, or joint, back, or heart problems, consult your doctor for professional advice before self-administering any massage.
