What Are Massage Chairs?
There are two types of massage chairs that I know of. the first is the recreational kind that people buy for themselves. These vibrate and give a massage automatically and can be a great way to reduce stress and avoid injuries. These chairs often cost upwards of £3000 so are not for the person on a tight budget! They are also not for sports massage therapists as this would basically do their job for them!
Luckily they are no where near as good as a human massage therapist and in fact are a poor replacement.
The other kind of massage chairs are those made for professional massage therapists. These allow you to get the patient in different positions than a bed would allow, allowing you to work other areas of the body more effectively.
Things to look for in a massage chair:
- Portability. If you are going to be travelling with your massage therapy equipment a lot you need to make sure the chair is fold able and very portable to make it easy for yourself. Otherwise it may be you who needs a massage if you carry it around for too long!
- If the chair is meant as an extension to a massage table, make sure it fits the table you already have. Must will, but some won't, so it's worth checking.
- Make sure there is a range of tilting and a face rest so that you are covered on all bases.
