Benefits of Massage Recliners vs. a Massage Therapist

Copyright 2005 Wayne Mc

After a long hard day at the office wouldn’t it be nice to

get a massage. Unfortunately you have to first find a

certified or licensed massage therapist. If you’re lucky

and happen to know someone or have a regular therapist you

work with, you still have to schedule an appointment. After

you call and set the time you’ll have to get back into your

car and drive to therapist’s office.

In today’s world most of us want instant gratification and

have limited time in our hectic life. If money was no

object most of us would get a massage every week, or

possibly two or three times a week.

Let me pause here for a moment. It is very ironic that I

would be writing an article about massage recliners because

I am a certified massage therapist. As a therapist my first

goal is to help the client get healthy. Sometimes I refer a

client to a chiropractor or to an acupuncturist that can

better serve the clients needs. The same is true about

massage recliners. With new technology massage recliners

have advanced beyond clunky massage rollers to high tech

massagers that can emulate the human touch.

There are many health benefits from a massage from a

trained therapist or a massage recliner. A trained massage

therapist knows how to get the kinks out of your back and

relieve the muscle tension from everyday stress. Massage

recliners have superior technology and do more than rub

your back. New models from Human Touch, iJoy, Panasonic and

Sanyo can also massage the legs, feet, arms and shoulders.

Health Benefits of Massage

* Improves lymphatic flow. The act of massaging and

kneading the muscles increases blood flow. Health benefits

are better circulation and absorption of nutritional

elements into the muscles and tissues. In addition,

kneading the muscles helps clear out toxins out of the

muscles.

* Decreases muscle tension and improves flexibility. Body

tension and stress causes the muscles to tighten and

shorten. Health benefits include loosening tight muscles

and restoring range and flexibility.

* Massage therapy produces the ‘feel good chemical’, the

same endorphins that are increased after working out at the

gym. This ‘feel good chemical’ helps speed recovery,

reduces pain and reduces anxiety.

Another benefit seldom discussed is clearer thinking. When

you are out of body pain and the range of motion is

restored to your neck, your mind can better concentrate on

your everyday tasks.

Rates for a massage therapist can range from $40 to $100

depending on the therapist’s level of training and the city

they are located in. Massage recliners are not cheap and

can cost thousands of dollars. But over time, a massage

recliner can pay for itself and provide many health

benefits. Other considerations of cost savings are other

family members using the massage recliner. In addition,

some massage recliners are very stylish and are a handsome

addition to any home décor.

Another benefit of a massage recliner is the fact it is a

recliner chair. Anybody who has ever sat in a recliner

knows how comfortable it is. Even if you do not activate

the features of the massage recliner, the recliner itself

has health benefits. The simple act of just sitting in a

comfortable chair relaxes your body and eases body tension.

It’s your choice. Buy a massage recliner or call a massage

therapist. Either one that you choose will have many health

benefits. To make your buying decision easy I’d suggest

scheduling two or three appointments with a certified or

licensed massage therapist. Then try several brands and

models of massage recliners to compare results.
