How is it that we just do not ever seem to have enough time. We know we need to take better care of our bodies, but somehow we just keep cutting corners. We are all busy. We know we need to make good health a higher priority, but. Well, you know, but. We do know that stress builds everyday. It is cumulative. How does that stress get reduced? Since ancient times, massage therapy was the preferred method. Today, how about the day spa? Nice, if I had the time. This is where a massage chair can help.

What do the studies say about massage therapy? Massage therapy is effective in helping the following: relax muscles; reduce heart rate: increase blood flow and lymph flow; reduce stress; and improve range of motion of joints. Massage therapy is not just about something that feels good. It is about releasing the building up of stress. Remember stess is cumulative and constantly builds. Massage therapy is about periodic treatment. Diet and exercise are not one time events and neither is massage therapy.
One of the great challenges in life is time. This is why massage therapy is not a greater part of our total health routine. A massage chair helps to save time. How does it do it. It is always available 24/7 and in the convenience of my home. I do not have to make an appointment. I do not have to drive to and from the day spa. I just walk a few feet, sit down and let this tireless mechanical masseuse release those built up pressures.
When you get a traditional massage at a day spa, the massage therapist will give you a full body massage. The massage therapist will start on one part of your body at a time. As the therapist finishes one area, then they will move on to the next. A full body massage is usually completed in 50 minutes. If a therapist does the back and then moves on to each leg, and then to each arm for a total of 5 areas. The therapist spends about 10 minutes on each area. So, really each area gets about a 10 minute massage.
A massage chair on the other hand can deliver the massages to each area in parallel. This significantly reduces the total time for the massage. The massage chair can effectively massage the back, both legs and arms at the same time. Each area is getting massaged all at the same time. This is a lot of massage therapy at one time. But in essence, 10 minutes in the massage chair is equivalent to a 50 minute massage.
A massage chair can help you by always being available when you need it. Imagine having 24/7 access to your own mechanical masseuse. No appointment necessary. Building a routine around massage therapy cannot be too hard. In fact to get the most benefit, the routine has to include periodic, continuous treatment. Sound like more fun that working out! Well, it certainly is a great compliment to soothe those aches, pains and soreness. Get the balance you need, and look at integrating massage therapy into your total health. The ancients would have loved the opportunity to have a massage chair recliner.
