Below we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the benefits of massage chairs.
Are you ready?let's get started..
Did you know?
Research has found that just 15 minutes in a massage chair can help reduce stress and anxiety while improving alertness. Participants also had fewer symptoms of depression after five weeks. Reducing stress and anxiety can also help lower your heart rate and help you slip into a state of total relaxation.
Why Start With Short Massage Increments?
As your body gets used to using a massage chair, you can work your way up to longer increments, however, it’ll never be like you’re spending an hour in your chair. Luxury massage chairs like those offered by us offer extremely effective deep pressure massages. The rollers in even the most gentle chair are powerful and designed to work out knots and rejuvenate problem areas across your body. With this in mind, it’s important to remember that because they are powerful and designed to work quickly, sitting in a chair for too long just isn’t smart.
It can be easy to get carried away. As we just stated, the good thing is that most fine chairs offered, including those from top brands like Ohco, Osaki, Infinity, Positive Posture, Human Touch, and Luraco, have massage timers. You’ll also find options for intensity that you can turn all the way down when you’re first using it to see what level is right for you. Plus, you can use padding when first acclimating to the chair as well.
The ideal duration to use the chair is short intervals from anywhere between two and 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes are more than enough to receive the benefits, comfort, and relaxation a massage chair offers to your sore muscles. As stated using a chair for longer periods can injure your muscles or worsen pre-existing injuries.
There are sessions designed to work the entire body where you might want to spend the entire 15 minutes and there are some that work a specific area, which might be better at shorter intervals like 10 or five minutes.
Benefits of Massage Chairs
One of the main benefits of a massage chair is that it can help to improve your circulation. This is especially beneficial for those who spend long periods of time sitting down as it can help to reduce the risk of developing blood clots.
Additionally, massage chairs can help to increase flexibility as they gently stretch your muscles. This helps to improve range of motion and prevent injuries from occurring.
For those that suffer from chronic pain, using a massage chair can be an effective way to manage pain. The gentle vibrations and massaging motions work to relax tense muscles and relieve pain.
Additionally, massage chairs have been shown to reduce stress levels. This is because when you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol which can lead to physical symptoms like headaches and muscle tension. By reducing stress levels, you can help to improve your overall wellbeing.
Lastly, massage chairs have been shown to improve sleep quality. This is likely due to the fact that they help to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for maintaining your health and wellbeing so if you’re struggling to get quality sleep, using a massage chair may be a good solution for you.
Massage aids the body in releasing toxins and following up your massage with lots of stretching and water is highly recommended to help get those toxins out of your body.
You can use your massage chair about three to four times per week for maximum effectiveness for lower back, neck, or shoulder pain. If you are using the chair for stress relief or relaxation, one to three times per week should be just fine. You can also just enjoy a light, shorter massage when you feel stress is affecting your behavior.
t’s also important to remember that the duration and frequency of use of your chair can depend on your body and general health. For instance, for neck, shoulder, or lower back pain, using the chair for a full body massage chair for fifteen minutes three or four times a week is sufficient.
Use the built-in timers to keep yourself on track and avoid overusing your massage chair.
Additionally, if you’re considering a massage chair for back pain, other muscle pain, or a specific muscle concern, you should always consult with your doctor. This goes double for those who are pregnant, dealing with chronic conditions, or who’ve been recently injured.
You’ll want to talk about any pre-existing conditions you have, such as heart problems, low blood pressure, or blood clotting issues, because a massage can affect those conditions and more. Your doctor will come up with the best use of a chair in your unique situation.
If you’re tired of stress and muscle pain interrupting your life and want to make a change, a massage chair can help reduce pain and tension. It can be a very solid investment in yourself that can help you to improve and/or maintain your health and quality of life.
A Massage Chair is Like a Workout.
Another way to think about it, is that using a massage chair for the first time can be a bit like trying a workout for the first time. If you haven’t tried a particular activity or haven’t done one that you know for a long time, you’ll want to take it slow. We all know that it’s not smart to start from never running to running five miles, from never lifting weights to lifting 100+ pounds.
If you go too quickly, whether you’re returning to an exercise or starting fresh, you will at the least end up being incredibly sore and at the worst you could injure yourself.
Your first time in your new massage chair is much like working out for the first time like this. As you build up your stamina and your body gets used to the pressure and precision of the chair, you can endure longer sessions.
We always advise you to rely on the advice of an expert.
