Ergonomically designed chairs for positioning a person who will be receiving
a massage, similar in function to a massage table. Chairs may be either
stationary or portable models. Different chairs have different features,
and many are adjustable to clients’ preferences and sizes. Massage
therapists are able to offer on-site massage to many places of employment
because of the portability of the massage chair.
An OTO massage chairMassage chairs are easier for the therapist to maneuver
than massage tables, and clients do not need to disrobe to receive a chair
massage. Due to these two factors, chair massage is often performed in settings
such as corporate offices, outdoor festivals, shopping malls, and other public
locations.
Robotic massage chairs
A robotic massage chair is a chair that contains internal electronic motors
and gears designed to massage the person sitting in them. Most robotic massage
chairs have some form of controller to vary the type, location, or intensity
of massage.
Massaging chairs most frequently resemble recliners. There are many different
types and brands, including office-style chairs that operate from internal
batteries. A less expensive option is a separate massaging pad that may be
used with an existing chair. Some popular brands are Family Inada, Omega,
Kyokei, Human Touch, Sanyo, Panasonic, SHSS, OSIM, OTO, VGO, OGAWA.
Massaging chairs vary tremendously in price, style and intensity, from cheap
"vibrate only" chairs to full intensity Shiatsu models for people who require
as close to a real invigorating massage as possible.
Endorsed by the American Chiropractic
Association Panasonic
massage chairs are the first chairs to be approved by the American Chiropractic
Association (ACA), the largest professional association in the world representing
doctors of chiropractic. In fact, this distinction represents the first massage
chair endorsement given by the ACA. Recognizing the many health benefits
of regular massage, the ACA found that Panasonic massage chairs provide
outstanding deep-tissue relief, which can temporarily relax tense muscles,
offering an ideal complement to chiropractic manipulation.
