Shiatsu Massage Chair Review - Read Before You Buy

By William Wallace

An increased awareness of the benefits of massage have prompted more people to explore the Shiatsu massage chair. In the past individuals could only get the benefits of a massage by leaving their home. Now that is no longer the case.

Many people are working in environments that create stress. This stress usually results in backaches and headaches. When they work at a computer all day they also suffer from neck pain at the end of the day. Making time to get a massage cannot be accomplished on a daily basis. Yet people find that they feel better when they receive a Shiatsu massage.

For people who cannot visit a massage therapist on a frequent basis, the Shiatsu massage chair is available for them. The chair provides all of the benefits of a professional massage in one's home while blending in perfectly with the rest of the home's furnishings.

The Shiatsu massage chair is designed to provide deep tissue massage from head to toe. Many of the chairs have adjustable calf and foot massagers which provide the same type of massage that one is receiving on their back, neck, and spine. The chairs have adjustable controls so that a person can set the width and speed of their massage.

Most chairs come with remote controls that provide several pre-set massage programs to address the areas of the body that are most in need of relaxation. The controls can also be programmed by the user with different types of shiatsu being performed on specific parts of the body. Some of the Shiatsu massage chair models come with the added feature of arm massage. This massage is perfect for individuals who work at a computer all day. The adjustable features allows a person with a small arm and wrist to receive the same level of massage that a person with a large arm receives.

There are many styles of Shiatsu massage chair available. When you are choosing a chair it is important that it be comfortable to sit in. Some of the chairs come with features to massage the feet and calves. These chairs have additional motors that provide the correct amount of pressure for an effective massage.

Make sure that your Shiatsu massage chair is relatively maintenance free. Any spills or stains should be wiped up immediately. In fact, it is a good idea to not place any drinks or foods near the chair so as to avoid getting anything on or in the chair that might cause damage. - 14130
