Massage Chairs: Step Up Your Massage Treatment Options
Posted on 10 July 2011
If you have gotten a hand massage from a massage therapist then you know that it can really be good. Also, you also know it can also be average. Many times I end up with a massage therapist that simply doesn’t use enough pressure to relieve my tension. Or I have to spend my time explaining exactly what I need while trying to relax. One of the major benefits of using a massage chair is I can direct the massage to exactly where I want and use the right level of pressure to relieve my aches and discomforts.
Many times I see a massage therapist and I have to explain where I would like them to concentrate. Sometimes they will faithfully follow my suggestions. Other times they seem to ignore it or simply do a superficial massage over the area. This is one of the disadvantages of using a massage therapist as opposed to a massage chair.
If all the stars align properly, then I may get the exact massage that I need from a masseuse. This usually happens if I find a really good one and I get a good run of sessions with them. However, then one day I find out that they have left and I must start the process all over again.
This is another thing I like about my massage chair is that it does not get tired. I can make it do the same motion over and over and it will not complain. Furthermore, I do not have to explain to it in detail what I want. I just push the buttons and let the chair do the work.
The other challenge I have with seeing a massage therapist is that they always seem to be turning over. I find one that I like and in just a few months I am now stuck with somebody else. I then have to retrain my massage therapist to be more effective for me.
Getting a consistent massage is what I most enjoy about my massage chair. I don’t have to worry about tremendous variation or turnover in my massage therapist. I can simply select the programs I like for as long as I wish. In this way I can relieve my aches and pains based on my schedule alone.
Massage chairs contain a variety of different massage techniques including shiatsu, Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology and acupressure. It is hard to find a massage therapist that can specialize in each of these techniques well.
In fact, massage chairs have hundreds of variation of massages. All body massages can be performed but also the massage can be focused to a particular region or even spot. This enables you to apply the proper technique to thoroughly relieve your muscle tension.
Since I seem to be changing massage therapists frequently, I sometimes also have to change locations and appointment times. This can be a bit tough and many times I forgo my regular massage treatment because of my busy schedule.
With my massage chair, it is always available 24 hours a day. It is not a question of the massage chair having time for me, but instead is do I have time for it. I can choose the duration of the massage with the massage chair. I can get a five, 15 or 30 minute massage when I need it.
Of course, there are trade-offs between massage chairs and massage therapists. When I get a good or great massage therapists life is wonderful. However, the convenience and the effectiveness of my massage chair provides me with much more reliable treatments over the long term.
One of the best things about my massage chair is simply privacy. I really view it as my relaxation time. It is time for me to really relax and let go of my thoughts and intentions. This enables the massage chair to perform more effectively and for me to get a better massage result.
