First-Class Characteristics Of Massage Chairs

by Mike Gibbs

If you haven't tried a massage chair in a while or if you have never tried them, then you are in for a real treat. Massage chairs have continued to advance with the pace of technology. You can now find many advanced features with very specialized massage treatments. These provide excellent therapies and penetrating relief. The features of massage chairs continue to advance with the times.

Massage chairs come with a remote control. The remote control allows you to using a particular technique. Normally there are buttons dedicated to automatic programs. You can also find LCD screens now being used on the remote or massage chairs.

The remote controls of many massage chairs are very advanced. They have integrated LCD screens using icons. This helps to display a lot of information at one time. This helps the user be able to know exactly what the massage chairs doing.

Massage chairs use body scanning technology. The massage chair has various sensors which are used to locate key points of the body. Some sensors will detect acupoints, location of the neck and shoulders and other relevant parts of the body.

In this way the 3-D body scan technology knows the precise shape of your body. This information is then used to direct the massage based on your coordinates. This provides a truly customized massage.

You can find many different massage techniques in these advanced recliners. There is shiatsu, Swedish, acupressure, reflexology and even deep tissue. Each of these techniques use specialized mechanical movements directed by sophisticated software.

At the touch of a button, you can enjoy a full body Swedish massage. The massage chair will begin by using various massage movements throughout the chair. Unlike a masseuse, who works in sequence, a massage chair can work your body and parallel.

One of the advantages of a massage chair working in parallel is the amount of time to get a massage. Since the massage chair is stimulating multiple parts of the body, the total time of the massage can be much shorter with the same coverage.

One of the features that I particularly like is a good foot massage. Many massage chair manufacturers have integrated reflexology foot massage. This is a great way to relieve tension in the feet and to help relax the entire body.

Many massage chairs use a combination of air compression and the triggering of reflexology points in the feet. The air compression provides for a gentle squeezing action. This helps to relieve tight muscles in the feet.

Massage chairs that deliver reflexology foot massage normally use specially designed foot wells. There may be either specially designed airbags or reflexology plate. These are located beneath the feet. These gently push up into the feet to provide stimulation to the trigger points.

One feature which is not available in a lot of massage chairs is music. I cannot imagine going to get a massage from a masseuse without having soft music. Music helps my mind to relax which releases the tension in my body.

It is exciting to see how technology is starting to bring about many different benefits. It is amazing the absolute variety of massage techniques contained in massage chairs. I remember when massage chairs can only vibrate. Now they can massage you from head to toe with an arsenal of massage techniques. Massage chairs are tremendously convenient and fit around your busy schedule. Find out more how a massage chair can benefit you.
