Massage Chairs Provide Incredible Value In Massage Therapy

By Anne Chapin

If you ask most people, they enjoy getting massage therapy. Not many things feel better when you feel sore, tightness or other discomforts. Massage therapy is a natural remedy for relieving tension and reducing body aches and pains. Massage therapy is most effective when done on a frequent basis. This is where massage chairs are the most practical and cost effective means to obtain frequent massage treatments.

Massage therapy is a natural way to relieve body aches and pains. It is very effective to relieve the tightness and relieve the soreness of muscle aches and pains. Few could imagine just a few decades ago that massage could be delivered effectively by a massage chair.

The typical massage experience usually starts with an appointment. You need to go to a specific location at a prescribed time. A typical massage lasts about an hour and can run $75 per hour plus tip.

A typical massage experience starts with dressing into a robe. When you are ready to begin your massage, you are led into a darker room and are directed to lie flat on a table. You may notice that rhythmic music is played to help induce relaxation.

Automatic program which provides you with masseuse is trained to provide a massage starting with the one part of the body. They will work on one part on the body to relieve it before starting on the next. They will then work from part to part until a full body massage is completed. This process typically takes about 50 minutes.

Massage chairs provide a slightly different way to soothe your body and relax your mind. Massage chairs are constructed to be very comfortable. They are plush with pillows and cushions. They are designed to envelop your body so you are comfortable.

You'll notice that a remote control is used to set the full body massage program. The remote control allows you to select from an automatic program which provides full body massage or you may also select a manual massage and specify exactly where you want it

Most massage chairs come with MP3 music players. The music is usually played through headphones which provide a relaxing environment. This allows you to sit back and relax while you receive your massage treatment.

One of the main differences of a massage chair and a masseuse is that the massage chair provides the treatment to many parts of the body at once. The massage chair is not dependent on the masseuse's hands but relies on a number of different systems working in conjunction. This enables it to provide the same amount of massage but in much less time.

A massage chair is very flexible in delivering a massage treatment. If you don't have much time, that is not a problem just and let the massage chair go to work. A 10 or 15 minute massage can provide excellent relaxation and relief.

Massage chairs represent the automation of massage therapy. The massage from a massage chair may be substantially less over time. Although the initial cost of a massage chair may be between $1,000 and $5,000 this represents an investment in a much longer time frame.

From an economic side, a massage chair that costs $3,000 would have a typical machine life of 2,000 hours. That means over the life of the massage chair each hour of massage therapy would cost $1.50. Compare that to $75 plus tip with a massage therapist.

Massage chairs may be one of the best investments in receiving frequent massage therapy. They provide the type of massage you need when you need it. You do not have to make an appointment or leave a tip. They never get tired and will serve your needs until you are related. Just think of the years of reliable and consistent massage treatments you can receive with your own massage chair.
