================== ARTICLE START ==================

Available to the retail market beginning in the 1980's, massage

chairs are finally becoming one of the most popular home therapy

products on the market. These chairs were developed to provide

the benefits of massage therapy to the home user on a regular

basis. Also, by being placed in one’s home, it affords a great

deal of convenience.

Massage therapy has been used for centuries to treat pain, help

with relaxation. Massage is also credited with boosting the

body’s immune system through the stimulation of reticular

cells. Like a traditional massage, the massage chair is

designed to reduce tension, reduce headaches, relax muscles and

alleviate pain. Massage chairs are thought to help sufferers of

digestive problems, circulation problems, and chronic fatigue.

Earlier models of massage chairs were not very effective. But

as technology developed, the mechanisms became more realistic

and reliable. While a massage chair may not be able to simulate

the total therapeutic benefits of a massage by hand, at the very

least, it provides massage motions that are consistent. Some

people even say that the electronic massage is in fact better

as the motions never tire and they are delivered in a rhythmic

and regular fashion.

With the advent of improved technology, today’s massage chairs

can be customized and programmed to meet the user’s individual

needs. Programs pinpointing problem areas and allowing choice

of firmness are becoming standard, and the choice of mechanisms

also varies widely. Some feature popular shiatsu style kneading

action, while others employ vibration and rollers to achieve

that “ooh, ahh” sensation.

With increased technology and rising consumer demand, the price

of good quality massage chairs should continue to drop. This

will result in a massage chair becoming more affordable to more

families. In time to come, perhaps, the massage chair will no

longer be considered a luxury item.
