A Buyer's Guide for Massage Chair

In today’s fast-paced world where people are placed in undue performance pressure that usually results to stress not only of the body but also of the mind, as well in time constraints, more and more people are turning to and buying a massage chair as a means for getting pain relief and relaxation as well as a replacement of human massage therapists.

Nowadays, there are now a large number of massaging chairs available, that vary enormously in price, style and intensity, from cheap "vibrate only" chairs to full intensity Shiatsu models for people who need as close to a real invigorating massage as possible.

With the massage chairs, like those massage chairs in Perth, portability, convenience, accessibility and privacy (as there is no need anymore to disrobe to receive a chair massage), are covered by chair massage now known to be often performed in settings such as corporate offices, Conferences and Trainings and other Corporate Wellness Events.

So, if you are planning to buy a massage chair, do consider these following factors:

• The Comfort of a Massage Chair. You can test this by sitting down on the chair and getting a feel of it. There are some chairs that may have a shape or contour that better fits a particular person's shape or need.

• Strength of Massage. Test the intensity of the massage and ensure it's appropriate. If you want a more vigorous massage, you should look for a chair that provides highly protruded components and strong movements. However, if you want a less intense, more point-specific massage, then you may prefer a massage chair with small rollers and nodes and softer movements.

• Number of Massage Chair Rollers. It is customary for better massage chairs to have four rollers, although there are some lower-end chairs that offer as few as two. There are also some chairs that offer more than four rollers.

• Adjustability of the Chair. Make sure to test or experiment with the preset programs. There are some massage chairs that may have a preset that is specific to a problem area in the back while there are other chairs that may offer greater variability. It may be more beneficial when purchasing a single chair for multiple users and to choose to buy a massage chair with a large range of adjustability.

• Accessories and Special Features. There are certain massage chairs that have special features such as a separate ottoman or a leg-rest that extends in and out of the chair. Take note that there are some positions that may be more comfortable for certain back conditions. For example, sitting in a reclining position with the legs elevated may be more comfortable for some people with spinal stenosis. There are also several chairs that even have a leg-rest that has its own massage or vibration capabilities.

• Controls. Massages chairs have a remote controller that may be wired or wireless. Take note that most wired and wireless remotes are usually at an extra cost. There are also some chairs that offer a LCD screen to visually let you know where and how the massage is working.

• Pricing. Massage chairs are quite expensive. Their prices vary from under $1000 to over $4000. Models that are about $1000 tend to have very limited massage functions and may have weaker frames, fabric and usually a very limited warranty. Take note that the more expensive the chairs are, the more advanced their features become.

• Warranty. Make sure to look at the warranty offered by your manufacturer. Make sure to review them. Take note that only makers of chairs with excellent warranties should be trusted with such an important purchase.
