Inclusive Body Treatments from Massage Chair Recliners

By James Knolan

Nothing beats getting a full body massage when you are tired and your muscles are aching. The initial tension and muscle stiffness makes you sensitive to the massage therapy. As you relax both your body and mind, the massage starts to relieve those aches, pains and anxieties. The relief from the soreness is very positive. Most people view a massage as a treat and something they have to go to a spa to receive. The advanced massage chair recliners of today are starting to change all that.

Interestingly, most people think of a massage chair as a luxury. In some cases it certainly is a luxury. However, the impression people have is that massage chairs are expensive. And they are right if you only look at the price tag and not the lifetime value of the massage chair. A massage chair is actually the most cost effective massage treatment available. It can run as little as a dollar a day and no tip required. Now, most people think massage recliners just massage your back. In reality, massage chairs perform whole body massages.

Panasonic has the EP30004 massage recliner that can provide full body coverage. The Real Pro Ultra series has 5 automatic programs that perform the following massage therapies: Shiatsu, Swedish, Deep, Arm and Leg Stretch. These massages are performed by sophisticated software driving a mechanical roller system to full back coverage. You can target specific areas with 4 manual courses.

Create the spa environment in your own home. Omega introduces its Montage Premier massage chair that comes with an MP3 Player. Put on the headphones and hit the music synchronization button and the massage movements are orchestrated to the rhythm of your music. This fascinating technology provides for a total immersion environment as your mind clears out and your body soon follows. You will certainly drift off to higher levels of comfort and relaxation.

The features that are being added into massage chairs increases every year. The massage programs keep getting more varied and include many more techniques like Hawaiian, Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu and many more. More complimentary functions are being added such as lower body traction which extends the muscles and ligaments of the lower body. The back massage rollers contain more finger-like mechanisms that replicate the movements of hands. The technology keeps advancing and coupled with software has produced a tremendous variety of massage therapies.

If you have never tried a massage chair, you definitely should. Most people are surprised at how effective it delivers massage therapy. Again, the technology keeps advancing rapidly and even chairs from a few years ago lack many of the new features that are available today. If you have not had a full body massage, then you are really in for a treat. Sometimes there is some discomfort as you start to relax your muscles that have not been touched in a long time. Let the massage penetrate deeply into the muscle tissue. This is always a good gage of your stress level to see if the massage makes squirm a little bit. This is especially true if you have not had one in a while. A whole body massage will help change your attitude and get your body reinvigorated. Let a massage chair deliver a whole body massage to you in your own home. - 15438
