Nowadays, with stress and tension brought about by the high demands of our hi-tech world exerting both physical and mental strain on our bodies, more and more people are turning to massage chairs as an alternative to traditional massage.
The idea behind a massage chair involves internal electronic motors and gears, or rollers or vibration pads working and acting together or individually on the body in a 3-dimensional fashion with pressure (whether structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving), tension, motion, or vibration that targets superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, mimicking the various massage strokes or techniques used by human massage therapists to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being.
Simulate the way professional therapists use their fingers, thumbs and palms in applying tension and pain relieving therapy, chairs like massage chair in Melbourne uses these different massage strokes such as:
Kneading
The kneading stroke is generated when the rollers move in a small, circular pattern which can be usually felt on both sides of spine simultaneously. This lifts and stretches the muscles, improving your blood circulation and, thus, provides deep tissue relief and releases tight muscles and joints, relieving tension and soreness.
Tapping
This tapping stroke is generated when the rollers alternately push in and out from the backrest, simulating the popular "karate chop" massage technique. These alternating strokes are usually focused along the spine to stimulate both spinal muscles and spinal joint areas, relieving your bodily aches and stress.
Rolling
This rolling stroke is generated when the rollers move up and down the backrest. The rolling motion produced helps you unwind and detoxify.
Pressing
This pressing stroke is generated when the rollers push forward which are usually used to target on specific areas of the body to work on your stiff and tight muscles.
Vibration
This vibrating stroke is generated when the rollers move back and forth producing vibration to help in targeting a certain area in the body like stimulating your digestion, circulation, metabolism and lymphatic flow.
