Benefits of a massage chair
The goal of the massage chair was to relieve stress, tension, and alleviate back pain.
Massage therapy techniques
Currently, the most effective massage techniques that massage chairs are designed to try to be like are that of Shiatsu and Swedish massage.
· Shiatsu tends to use pressing, sweeping, patting, rolling, and rotating movements. The defining characteristic of Shiatsu is its focus on releasing tension in specific locations of the body.
- Swedish massage is characteristic of long gliding strokes and kneading motions. This type of massage aims at fostering proper and strong circulation.
Main components of massage chairs
· Massage chair nodes and rollers—these vary in size and shape, designed to emulate fingers and hands.
- Computer assisted adjustability of the massage chair —this is perhaps the most essential factor. Designed to automatically adjust for the weight, height, and width of the selected user.
Designers have more closely approximated the necessary factors in a massage chair to provide its user with some measure of relief from back pain and neck pain.
