Are Massage Chairs Good for Health?

Massage has been proven to provide a wide range of benefits and work wonders in providing rejuvenation. However, with how busy people can get, massages are not always conveniently accessible, and tend to be expensive. A good massage chair is an excellent tool, especially with its convenience, efficiency, and features that even human hands don't offer.

Many people choose to use massage chairs not just for their convenience, but also for their health benefits. Whether you are healing from an injury, unwinding after a long day's work, or getting ready for a challenging workout, it is the way to go.

Massage chairs that are good for health are equipped with features that will give you relief from head to toe, whenever you need it. In this article, we will explore the benefits in store for you and the best massage chairs that you can get for your body's needs. So, read on and enjoy.

Health Benefits of Massage Chair

Relieved Pain

One of the main reasons people get a massage is to relieve pain in the body that may be caused by several factors such as age and lifestyle. Massage chairs good for health are a convenient way to get this because they provide deep, penetrating strokes that work on all levels of the body. This means that you can get relief from pain in various areas of your body, including the neck, back and legs.

Too much intensity can cause more discomfort and pain so an important feature to look out for in a massage chair is adjustable intensity. This will allow you to customize your experience depending on what your body needs, whether it's a strong and intense massage, or just a gentle, soothing session.

The IT-8500 Plus from Infinity features a gentle to intense intensity range that can be adjusted using its easy-to-use controller. If you don't feel like playing around with the settings, you can choose from the 7 Auto-programs, depending on the experience that you want. 

For a more precise and accurate massage experience, it is also equipped with a body scan sensor system that searches and allows the rollers to target your unique pressure points. 

Recovery

Athletes or anyone with an active lifestyle would know that recovery is essential after a workout or sports session. Aside from supplements, healthy food, and rest, massages are also a great way to speed up one's recovery. By reducing inflammation and improving blood flow, massage chairs help to ease muscle tightness and heal tissue faster.

Deep tissue massage chairs are especially perfect for breaking down scar tissues and penetrating deeper into your muscles. They are able to use slow but firm pressure that relieves muscle tension. Additionally, they are usually equipped with heat therapy, which further helps in soothing tight muscles in the body.

When it comes to deep tissue massages, Kahuna’s EM-8500 massage is one of the best. It features a 4D Back Massage Mechanism with 5 different levels of speed and intensity, providing a sensation as if you are being massaged by a professional masseuse. This allows users to experience a variety of personalized massages, from soothing and delicate to intense and robust.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety

Aside from the benefits to the body, massage chairs are also incredibly beneficial to the mind as they effectively relieve stress and anxiety. Studies have proven that a good massage can activate the body's system for overcoming stress. It aids in the release of serotonin and dopamine, which are known as happy hormones. Plus, they work on other areas of your life such as your mood and sleep patterns, which generally leads to a healthier mind and body.

One great example of a massage chair that is specifically designed for reducing stress and anxiety is the Kyota Genki M380. It features a special 360° sweeping 4-node back massage mechanism with five different massage techniques that travel from your neck down to your glutes. It takes good care of your legs with the Triple Sole Foot Reflexology and the Total Calf kneading and oscillating calf features.

The Genki is also one of the few affordable chairs that are built with chromotherapy lights. This feature gives a more immersive massage session, further enhancing the user's relaxation.

Improved Posture

One of the less obvious but equally as important benefits of massage chairs is that they can help improve your posture. Some of the best massage chairs come equipped with stretch features that will help alleviate tension in specific areas of the body, including the back.

Daiwa's Relax 2 Zero is built with cutting-edge technology to provide a wide range of benefits. It boasts a unique feature that you don't often find in other massage chairs: a gentle inversion stretch. This technique places the spine in a position that stretches and elongates it, which greatly helps with back discomfort and better posture.

Conclusion

Massage chairs good for health may be one of the best investments that you can do for yourself. However, keep in mind that they are not a "cure-all". Make sure to pair your massages with proper exercise, good food, and healthy lifestyle to achieve a healthy mind and body.
