Are you looking for the perfect gift for Mother's Day? Forget jewelry, flowers or candy. Show your appreciation and care for Mom by giving her the gift of relaxation. A massage chair will give Mom the freedom to enjoy a relaxing massage whenever she wants.

But how do you choose the right chair for mom? Here are some tips.

Choose Special Features for the Use of Massage Chairs

To narrow your search for the best massage chairs for home, consider what each model offers. Does the chair have special modes? Are there any particular features that you know your mom would love?

For example, maybe your mom spends a lot of time on her feet during the day. Choosing a massage chair that has a built-in foot and calf massager would help bring her some relief.

Consider any issues that your mom may be battling, and look for chairs that can address these issues.

Massage Chairs - Special Gift for Dear Moms

The best gift for Mother's Day is one that comes from the heart. A massage chair is a thoughtful choice because it gives mom a chance to focus on her health and wellness.

Along with special modes and features, there are a few other things to consider when choosing your gift for Mother’s Day.

Types Of Massage Chairs

One of the first things you should consider is the chair type. Does it offer 2D, 3D or 4D massage technology?

2D Massage Technology

A 2D massage chair is, essentially, a simple back roller massager. The rollers move up and down – in two dimensions – from the neck to the lower back. Sometimes, the rollers can move from side to side as well.

The technology may be simple, but it’s still effective. A 2D massager can still alleviate tension, ease sore muscles and even help alleviate stress.

3D Massage Technology

A chair with 3D massage technology can mimic the hands of a professional massage therapist. Along with moving up and down and side to side, the rollers can also push out into your back.

That additional movement can really increase the intensity of the massage. Most chairs allow you to adjust the intensity, so you can also enjoy a gentle massage whenever you want.

Everyone has their own preference for massage intensity, and this preference can change from day to day. With a 3D massage chair, your mom can adjust the intensity whenever she wants a more rigorous or gentler massage.

4D Massage Technology

4D massage technology builds on 3D to also offer speed adjustment. It's the most advanced option for a massage chair because it truly mimics both the motion and speed of a massage therapist’s hands.

Modern, quality massage chairs will offer both 3D and 4D massage technology, but you can still find some excellent chairs that offer 2D massage and a deeply relaxing experience. If your mom prefers a gentle massage, a 2D chair will be a perfect fit.

Special Features of Massage Chairs

Along with the type of massage chair, you also need to consider the features the chair offers. Some massage chairs have special features, like:

Heating

Many massage chairs have heated features, which can further help ease tension and soreness. Heated lumbar and foot massage functions can really transform the experience and allow for complete relaxation.

Acupressure

Some chairs have acupressure features that use air intensity to activate acupressure points on the body. If your mom is dealing with pain, tension or tightness in certain areas of her body, a chair with an acupressure system may be a good fit for her.

Zero Gravity

Some massage chairs can move into the zero gravity position, which puts the head and knees slightly above the heart.

The zero gravity position can help alleviate back pain because it takes the pressure off of the spine. It also helps the heart work more efficiently and can help you slip into a state of total relaxation.

Reclining

You can also find massage chairs that offer the traditional reclining function. If your mom doesn’t want or need zero gravity, then this is a great alternative.

Massage chairs make it easy to enjoy the benefits of a massage from the comfort of your home. But if you really want to make the most of your massage chair and maximize its benefits, it’s important to find the right chair, learn how to use its best features and create a massage schedule to stay consistent.

Let’s take a closer look at three professional tactics used to promote health with massage and the potential benefits of massage health and wellness.

How to Promote Health with Massage

Massage has long been used to help people relax, alleviate tension and to address specific ailments, like pain or limited range of motion.

Research suggests that medical massage therapy, balance massage therapy and other forms of massage therapy can provide the following benefits:

• Help with nerve compression
• Improved circulation
• Alleviation of tight muscles, aches and pains
• More energy and stamina
• Improved flexibility
• More

Many people use massage as a tool to help treat or manage a variety of conditions, from anxiety and depression to arthritis, sciatica, fatigue and more.

Massage chairs can help you take advantage of these same benefits, but without the added time and expense of having to visit a massage therapist. The key is learning how to make your massage chair a part of your health and wellness routine.

Professional Tactics to Maximize the Benefits of Massage Chairs

There are several professional tactics you can employ to make the most of your massage chair, starting with finding the right model for your needs.

Choosing The Right Massage Chair for You

Massage chairs typically come with a variety of built-in programs and functions. It’s important to take the time to learn how to use each of these features.

Experiment with different programs, intensity levels and the built-in features to see which settings and combinations of features work best for you or provide you with the relief you want.

Creating An Individual Schedule of Massage Therapies

Once you’ve found the right chair and the adequate settings for your needs, it’s important to create an individual schedule for your massage therapy.

Whether you're looking at personal or medical massage chairs, you need to use them regularly to really maximize their benefits. The best way to do that is to create a schedule and stick to it to ensure that you use your chair regularly.

While it’s generally not a good idea to use a massage chair more than once a day, you may find that using your chair 3-4 times a week provides the most relief.

Final Thoughts

Massage chairs promote relaxation, stress relief, pain relief and an array of other wellness benefits. Use the professional tactics above to make the most of your massage chair and experience the benefits yourself.

On April 7th of every year, people around the globe celebrate World Health Day. The tradition started in 1948 and is meant to bring attention to global health issues for people worldwide.

However, this is seen as a day to realign your focus and celebrate healthy living habits – or create new ones.

If you’re trying to find ways to spend World Health Day, the tips and advice below can help.

Tips and Advice on How to Spend World Health Day

Health and well-being are at the core of this eventful day, and there are a lot of ways that you can spend the day:

• Educate yourself and others about health inequalities around the world. Vulnerable groups of people can be found in every country, and it’s important to reflect on this fact and discover ways that you can help others.
• Healthy food that is well-balanced and nutrient-rich should always be part of the celebration. You can take it a step further by sharing recipes for these delicious meals and helping others turn their kitchen into a source of personal health.
• Recommend in-office changes so that everyone can lead a happier, pain-free life. Sitting in the office for long hours is being called the “new smoking.” Long periods of sitting can lead to higher body fat, high cholesterol levels and blood sugar and an array of other health-related issues. Add in bad posture, and your time in the office may be impacting your health more than you realize. Recommend ergonomic chairs, sit-stand desks and even massage to promote circulation.
• Group fitness activities can be incorporated into the day, such as everyone going out for a hike together, taking a yoga session or going to the gym in a group.
• Dedicate 20 – 30 minutes to get moving, whether that means a quick gym session or following along with a trainer on YouTube. You can go for a walk, run, bike ride – do anything that makes your heart beat faster.

Why?

Let's find out.

Reasons Why Massage Chairs Are Ideal for World Health Day Celebrations

Massage is something that you do for you. A lot of people have aches and pains, stress and swelling that they wish they could get rid of but never schedule an appointment with a massage therapist.

If you have a massage chair, you can celebrate health every day.

In fact, there are many reasons to choose massage chairs for this big day:

• Everyone can benefit from a massage, from kids to seniors
• Massage is known for relieving stress, and stress is linked to high blood pressure and health problems
• Aches and pains subside after a massage, and a single massage may help jumpstart the healing process
• The “feel good” hormones that allow you to be happy and healthy increase during massage

Plus, you can put on soothing music or light incense to help improve the relaxing effect of massage therapy. If you want a single way to make yourself and anyone who is celebrating World Health Day with you feel better, massage is the one thing you should incorporate.

Adjust The Parameters of The Chair and Customize the Massage to Your Individual Needs

While we recommend massage on World Health Day, we do want to mention that massage’s benefits are amplified when you:

• Adjust the chair
• Customize the massage

First, you’ll want to consider all of the chair’s features. Do you have a tight back, or do you want to increase the effectiveness of the massage? Turn on the lumbar heat function if it exists. Heat will help to soothe sore muscles or loosen tight ones.

Massage intensity can be adjusted in most high-end chairs, allowing for a more intense massage. We recommend that you start with medium intensity and adjust up or down as necessary.

A more intense setting will help you target deeper muscle pain or pinpoint areas that a light intensity cannot.

Finally, what type of massage would you like? There are a multitude of massage techniques that a chair can mimic, such as:

• Swedish
• Hot stone
• Shiatsu
• Deep tissue
• Etc.

If the chair does offer AcuPressure therapy, you’ll also want to try out this feature for yourself. AcuPressure therapy can target areas of the body that a regular massage cannot.

Are you curious about which Human Touch massage chairs will work best for you?  The following chairs are among the best in our lineup:

Final Thought

Human Touch massage chairs and World Health Day go together perfectly. Whether you’re taking a stand to improve your own health or holding a celebration on April 7th, massage is one of the things you can offer yourself and others.

With your own personal massage chair, you can enjoy the benefits of massage any time you wish.

Do you want to invest in your health? One thing everyone can do is set aside time for a self-care day that allows them to relax, recharge and feel better than they would otherwise. Massage is one of the things we recommend that you add to this day.

Why?

Massage can help reduce anxiety, tension and pain. It can even help with swelling and inflammation. However, before we go into why massage chairs can turn your self-care day upside down, let’s look at why self-care is so important.

Why Is It Important to Have a Self-care Day?

Self-care has been shown to:

• Help people better manage stress
• Reduce the risk of illness
• Increase energy
• Improve overall mental health

Life is stressful. People are accustomed to long hours in the office, daily stress and barely having enough time to even think about caring for themselves properly. If you’re someone who can relate to always being on the go and never having a moment to stop and “smell the roses,” you can definitely use a self-care day.

This will be a day that you use to pamper yourself. Massage is just one of the many ways that you can treat yourself to a day of recharging.

The following checklist can help you make the most of this day:

Checklist Of How to Spend a Self-care Day with Massage Chairs

• Take a warm shower beforehand to relax
• Start the massage at low intensity
• Turn on any heating that may be available
• Increase the massage intensity
• Place the chair back into zero-gravity
• Connect your phone to the chair’s speakers and put on relaxing music
• Scented candles or aromatherapy can help increase the relaxation

You need to allow yourself enough time to relax and just recharge. It may be a good idea to find a way to make the space a “quiet space.” You can do this by making sure the day you choose is kid- or interruption-free.

Add in blackout curtains or something similar and you’ll create the perfect space for your spa day.

Massage Chairs Features and Programs

Are massage chairs good for you? Yes, but you need to know what features and programs to look for when choosing one for yourself. Some of the many features that you need to know about when making your decision include:

• Programs: How many pre-programmed massage programs does the chair include? What types of programs are included? New users may like chairs with dozens of massage options.
• Massage type: What type of massage is the chair capable of offering? For example, does the chair offer deep tissue, Shiatsu or other types of massage?
• 3D or 4D: The 3D and 4D massage terminology is confusing, but imagine a massage therapist working on you. A 3D massage will hit most of the areas where you have tension or pain, but a 4D massage provides greater precision and the ability to hit those tough-to-reach areas with greater ease.
• Acupressure: The world’s most advanced massage chairs offer acupressure technology, which is designed to scan the body and work on acupressure points. These points are the same ones that an acupuncturist will target, offering you all of the healing power of acupuncture in the comfort of your own home.
• Reclining: Does the massage chair allow you to recline? If so, how far back can you recline in the chair? Zero-gravity reclining is the leading technology for reclining because it alleviates pressure on all of your joints and can encourage circulation, too.
• Heating: Lumbar heating is becoming increasingly popular in massage chairs and works to heat up a person’s lower back. If you have back pain or aches, you may want to consider a chair with lumbar heating because it will target these key areas with greater efficiency.

You'll also want to learn if the chair offers various massage intensities and has a foot/calf massager. Lower extremity massages can help boost blood flow and reduce swelling in your feet or legs (if you have swelling).

How To Choose the Right Massage Chair for You?

If you’ve narrowed down the massage chair that you want to be a part of your self-care day, you’ll then have to choose a model. After considering all of the features in the previous section, you’ll also want to look at:

• Chair rear clearance, which is important for zero-gravity models that are put into smaller spaces
• Minimum and maximum user height information because it will matter
• Pricing because some chairs are far more expensive than others

We’ve chosen three top-rated massage chairs that are sure to help you have a self-care day where you relax and feel better.

Final thought

Everyone deserves to have a self-care day. Investing in your health is something that everyone should do to feel better, be more productive and enjoy a longer life. If you’re trying to find a way to recharge, massage relaxation is something you can do each week.

Is there anything more relaxing than a massage? Most people buy massage chairs or book appointments with massage therapists because they want to de-stress and alleviate tension. But did you know that massage can also have other benefits, especially for women’s health?

Let’s explore how massage improves a woman’s health and offer massage tips.

What Kind of Massage Is Good for Improving Women's Health?

Virtually any type of massage can benefit a woman’s health, but some types offer greater benefits than others.

Some of the best types of massage to improve women’s health are:

Swedish

Swedish massage uses gentle, long strokes to help reduce minor pain and promote relaxation. This type of massage also helps promote better blood flow and improve flexibility.

Deep Tissue

A deep tissue massage is a bit more rigorous and intense than a Swedish massage. More pressure is applied to the muscles to help alleviate pain and get rid of tension.

The objective of this massage is to focus on the deep layers of the muscles.

Along with reducing pain and tension, deep tissue massages can also:

• Promote better blood flow
• Reduce inflammation
• Reduce arthritis
• Rehabilitate injured muscles

Shiatsu

Shiatsu massage is a Japanese technique that applies pressure to specific points on the body to promote flexibility and reduce pain.

This type of massage offers many benefits, including:

• Less anxiety and stress
• Better posture
• Better blood circulation
• Improved sleep quality

Reflexology

Reflexology is a healthy massage technique that aims to restore natural energy levels using gentle or firm pressure on different pressure points on the feet and hands. These points are believed to be associated with different areas of the body.

Individual's Specific Needs and Health Conditions When Using Massage Chairs

When choosing a massage chair, it’s important to consider the person’s individual woman's health needs and conditions. For example, is the person experiencing:

• Pain?
• Stress?
• Tension?

Understanding the person’s needs and health issues can help you determine which type of chair and which type of massage will provide the most relief.

For example, if the person has moderate back pain, a deep tissue massage may be more beneficial than a Swedish massage.

How To Choose a Massage Chair That Will Help Improve Women's Health?

Now that you understand the benefits of massage and the role of the individual’s specific needs and health conditions, you can start looking for a massage chair that will help you enjoy these benefits.

Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:

• Massage Needs: What type of massage will you want or need? It’s important to choose a chair that can deliver your preferred massage intensity level.
• Space: How much space do you have? Some chairs will need more room than others. You can find massage chairs that are compact enough for home office use and others that are best suited for dedicated relaxation spaces.
• Features: What type of features would you like in a massage chair? You can find models with built-in speakers, acupressure massage, lumbar heating, foot massage and more.

With these points in mind, let’s look at some of our best massage chairs to promote and support women’s health.

Sleep is crucial for your overall health and wellness. In fact, studies show that lack of sleep impacts cognition, mood, behavior and more. If you’re trying to find out how to improve your sleep, you need to first know the causes of insomnia.

The Main Causes of Insomnia

Are you up at night, tossing and turning or running through the day’s events for hours on end? If you fall into this category, you may have insomnia. Insomnia is defined as a sleeping disorder that may cause you to have trouble:

• Falling asleep
• Staying asleep
• Getting good sleep

The causes of insomnia can change from one person to another. For many, stress and anxiety are contributing factors to their lack of sleep. Imagine a hard day at work or a stressful family event that is on your mind all day.

You may be under immense stress or anxiety because you have bills to pay, you have to move, work is stressful, you’re having a child – virtually anything.

If you’re feeling stressed and anxious, it can cause you to toss and turn all night long. However, other people have insomnia because of:

• Poor sleeping environments, such as an extremely uncomfortable bed or a room that is too hot or cold
• Depression and schizophrenia can cause you to stay awake in bed
• Pain and discomfort, including heart problems, can cause you to stay up for hours while in bed
• Medications may be linked to insomnia, including antidepressants or steroids
• Lifestyle choices such as drinking too much caffeine before bed or forcing yourself to sleep for just a few hours a night because of a busy schedule can cause insomnia

In most of these causes of insomnia, you can make integral changes that improve your sleep and make you sleep better.

Massage and Massage Chairs Can Improve Your Sleep

Massage is one of the proven ways to sleep better. One study found that massage offered exceptional benefits to people who suffer from insomnia, including improving sleep quality, quality of life and more.

In fact, massage helps alleviate many of the causes of insomnia.

Reducing Stress and Anxiety

Do you want to relieve stress and anxiety? Massage has been linked to lower stress levels and anxiety. Some people even find that massage increases their self-confidence, allowing them to overcome stress and anxiety even better.

Massage will:

• Lower your heart rate
• Promote “feel good” hormone production
• Ease muscle tension
• So much more

With the right massage chair, you’ll have an easy time alleviating stress and anxiety.

WholeBody® ROVE

ROVE is one of the newest massage chairs in our lineup, and it’s known for offering a moderate massage that blasts away stress and anxiety. Users benefit from a full-body bend and stretch function, which works to release muscle tension and stress.

Switch on the dual lumbar heat and choose from 8 auto-wellness programs that will obliterate the stress you’re feeling and allow you to relax before bed.

Relieving Muscle Tension and Pain

Muscle aches, pains and tension are often enough to keep people up all night and can cause tossing and turning. Relieving these discomforts is key to overcoming insomnia, and a massage chair can help.

Targeting certain muscles will help increase blood flow to them and alleviate the stress you’re holding onto.

Add in the benefits of deep tissue massage and acupressure, and you can promote healing, too. Experts claim that massage can help with sore muscles, back pain, headaches and more. Massage also helps promote relaxation, which will further promote pain-free sleep.

Super Novo

Super Novo is the perfect massage chair for anyone who has tension and pain that is keeping them up at night. First, there are 38 wellness programs built-in, including a deep massage to target pain deep in your muscles.

Acupressure technology will target key healing points in the body.

3D and 4D massage will mimic a deep massage, similar to a massage therapist, to help stretch tight muscles, promote healing and ease pain before bed.

Increasing Circulation and Reducing Inflammation

Circulation is crucial for delivering nutrients to your muscles and promoting the healing process. Inflammation, such as swollen feet, can also lead to difficulty sleeping because you’ll be uncomfortable all night long.

Massage will help promote circulation, pushing fluids through the body and helping to reduce inflammation.

If you have a massage chair that goes into the zero-gravity position, it will further improve your sleep and help reduce swelling.

Certus

Certus is a massage chair that is perfect for improving circulation and helping anyone dealing with inflammation or swelling. This unit provides a vigorous massage, includes 11 auto-wellness programs and even has a foot massager built-in.

Offering a true full-body massage, kick back in the chair, turn on the lumbar heat and foot heating, and then go into the zero-gravity position.

Helping You Relax

If you’re glued to your phone before bed or just can’t relax once you lay down, it’s time to change your habits for the better. A massage or just taking some time for yourself in zero gravity and with a little heat will allow you to relax before bed.

With your muscles relaxed and loose, you’ll have a much easier time nodding off to bed and getting a deep sleep that you need to be the best you possible.

Final Thought

Your causes for insomnia are unique, and you need to find proven ways to sleep better. Massages for sleep are just one of the steps that you can take to begin feeling better. You'll also want to:

• Set a schedule where you go to bed at the same time every night
• Change bad habits before bed, such as drinking caffeine or alcohol
• Getting into bed earlier
• Shutting off the television
• Avoiding napping in the middle of the day
• Finding a way to block lights and sounds that may keep you awake

One of the benefits of massage chairs for sleep is that they help you:

• Relax before bed
• Relieve stress and anxiety
• Ease aches and pains

Over time, you’ll benefit from sleep habits that help you overcome your insomnia. Massage is one tool that can help you sleep better and allow you to feel energized throughout the day.

People buy massage chairs for a lot of reasons: stress relief, sciatica pain, general back pain and general pleasure. However, when you sit back in your massage chair, you can also increase the production of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins.

Happiness hormones, such as the ones listed above, have a lot of benefits that you never think about, such as:

• Pain relief
• Improved motivation
• Increase attention span
• Much more

And you receive all of these benefits of happiness hormones on top of pain reduction following a workout, lower blood pressure and heart rate, back pain relief and much more.

Let's explore the benefits of massage chairs that go beyond pain relief to see what really happens to your body during a massage.

How Do Massage Chairs Stimulate the Release of Happiness Hormones?

Massage helps create what is known as a “therapeutic release.” A study from Touch Research Institutes, University of Miami School of Medicine, found that massage increased serotonin by 28% and dopamine by 31%.

Why?

Massage can hit your cranial nerves, which is what connects to your brainstem. It's difficult to reach this area of the brainstem, but the body is known for creating parasympathetic functions, too.

It's suggested that when you receive a massage, the cranial nerve relaxes and provides you with a sense of relief. Your muscle tension starts to dissipate, and stress starts to fade away. In addition, acetylcholine starts to be produced, allowing the body to reach a higher level of stability.

However, there are also a lot of other things going on blood flow increases, causing your autonomic nervous system to release dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins, which are your happiness hormones.

What are the Hormonal Benefits of Using a Massage Chair?

What do these happiness hormones do for you? What are the benefits of these hormones? Let's find out.

The Benefits of Dopamine

Dopamine is the “motivation” hormone, and it offers numerous benefits, too. If you have adequate levels of dopamine, it will:

• Motivate you
• Improve satisfaction
• Enhance your pleasure

Often, you’ll have dopamine surges that reach the brain and provide this sense of euphoria. You'll also find that dopamine is a “reward” for the brain, and it will help increase your creativity and curiosity, too.

On top of this, dopamine is known to increase pleasure anticipation, boost memory and learning, and keep you on track to reach your goals.

The Benefits of Serotonin

Serotonin is another hormone that is released by your body during a massage. Many people associate this hormone with mood regulation, and it helps you:

• Manage anxiety
• Heal from wounds
• Experience happiness
• Sleep better

Just like dopamine, serotonin is a chemical communicator that is produced primarily in your gut and is a natural way to alleviate anxiety and depression. There's also evidence that memory and learning may increase when you have higher levels of serotonin.

Anyone with digestive issues will experience some relief with serotonin, and it’s a chemical that is also known to calm nausea.

The Benefits of Oxytocin

Oxytocin is the body’s “love hormone,” and it plays a major role in everything from reproductive systems to blood pressure, heart rate and digestion. Evidence suggests that low levels of oxytocin can lead to:

• Depression
• Lack of romantic interest

However, oxytocin may help ease stress, improve cognition, reduce the negative effects of stress and enhance pain tolerance. If you use massage as a way to alleviate aches and pains, the relief may be in part to the release of oxytocin.

The Benefits of Endorphins

Finally, massage also helps create a rush of endorphins in the body. These chemicals are often released during pleasureful activities, such as exercise or laughing. When you’re in pain, the body even tries to release endorphins to help calm the pain, too.

As nature’s natural pain relievers, endorphins will also work to:

• Improve your mood
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Support cognition and memory
• Boost self-esteem
• Alleviate inflammation
• Boost pleasure

Massage is a natural way to improve endorphins in the body and help your overall well-being in the process. If your body doesn’t produce enough endorphins, it can lead to a host of problems, such as difficulty sleeping, aches and pains, addiction and mood swings.

Zero gravity chairs allow you to recline back to a weightless position, offering unparalleled comfort, improved blood circulation and even reduced swelling. If you’re searching for a massage chair to help with aches, pain and muscle soreness, this type of chair may be the right choice for you.

Secret Benefits of a Zero Gravity Massage Chair

Zero gravity is a unique position that removes the stress put on your joints when sitting. For example, when sitting in a normal chair, you’ll put a lot of pressure on:

• Hip joints, which will have the weight of your legs and thighs pulling down on them
• Lower back, when often experiences pain and discomfort after long bouts of sitting

A staggering 64% of adults experience back pain because of their sitting habits. When you recline back into the zero gravity position, you take the weight off of these joints and can massage them to reduce the aches and pains you experience.

In fact, this position will reduce the pressure you put on your spinal discs.

Since you’re reclining back, you’ll place your feet above your heart. When your feet are above your heart, this has a variety of benefits, such as:

• Reduced swelling
• Improved blood circulation and flow
• Alleviated inflammation

If you experience swelling in the feet or ankles, sitting in the best zero gravity massage chair will naturally start to move the fluids through the body. When massage is added into the equation, it will further push the fluids through the body.

You may also experience:

• Improvement in muscle recovery
• Alleviation of muscle soreness following exercise

Massage chairs can also help improve mood, alleviate headaches and even migraines, reduce pain and much more. If you suffer from chronic tension headaches, studies suggest that massage can help reduce pain and the frequency of headaches.

Finally, there is also evidence that massage can improve sleep, which has a slew of benefits in itself, such as faster recovery from injuries, surgery and more.

How Do Zero Gravity Massage Chairs Work?

Sitting back in a zero gravity full body massage chair is an amazing experience and one that is similar from one chair to another, although they may all work differently. First, the chair must be able to put you in the zero gravity position, which means:

• Recline you back in the chair
• Elevate the feet above the heart
• Reduce weight and pressure on the joints

Next, the chair will offer some form of massage, which will vary from one chair to the next and will often include specific types of massage, such as:

• Shiatsu
• Tapping
• Kneading
• Rolling

Air compression or rollers will often be responsible for the “massage.” High-end chairs will feature 3D or 4D massage, which will mimic the massage from a professional. These chairs can help massage your muscles, target specific joints and pain points and provide exceptional massages in the comfort of your own home.

Depending on the chair, you may have the following features:

• Speed adjustments to enjoy a faster or slower massage
• Intensity adjustments to help knead tighter muscles
• Heating to help melt away tension and stress

S- and L-track massage chairs will extend massages further than even the best massage chair could offer in the past. Using these special track systems, it’s possible for a zero gravity chair to reach the shoulders, down the spine and to the thighs.

Some models will take the massage a step further to target your calves and ankles, which further encourages fluids to move through the body.

Professional Tips For Choosing Zero Gravity Massage Chairs

What’s the best massage zero gravity chair for you? A few tips can go a long way in helping you choose a chair that’s perfect for your needs:

• Space requirements: How much space does the chair need to go into zero gravity? If you don’t have a lot of space, be sure to ask about the chair’s total length when reclined before buying a model you like.
• Heat: The power of heat when getting a massage is often overlooked and underappreciated. Heat will allow you to loosen tight muscles and ease aches and pains, contributing to the benefits of being in a zero gravity position.
• Zero gravity: Ensure that the chair you choose has a true zero gravity design. Standard massage chairs do not elevate your feet to reach the zero gravity position.
• Massage length: How far will the massage reach? Will the massage target your shoulders down to your hips? Be sure that the chair chosen has an L- or S-track design to provide a full-length massage.

WholeBody® ROVE Massage Chair

Massage can do wonders for your health and well-being. In fact, the right massage chair can even help promote or improve heart health. Let’s take a closer look at how massage chairs encourage heart health and how to find the right chair for your needs.

How Massage Chairs Can Help Improve Heart Health

A massage chair is more than just a luxury – it’s an investment in your health and well-being. In fact, using a massage chair regularly may help support heart health.

Here’s how:

May Help Lower Blood Pressure

It’s estimated that nearly half of all adults in the United States have high blood pressure, or hypertension. High blood pressure forces the heart to work harder and has been linked to a higher risk of a heart attack.

Leading a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of hypertension, but regular sessions in a massage chair can also help. In fact, one study found that massage chairs significantly reduced perceived stress and blood pressure in participants.

May Improve Circulation

Massage chairs can also support heart health by improving circulation. Research has shown that massages can help improve vascular function, even in people who haven’t exercised.

Improving blood circulation helps move blood and lymph fluids through the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your organs.

Lower Anxiety and Stress

One of the most well-known benefits of massages is reduced anxiety and stress. Chronic stress can increase blood pressure and even contribute to cardiovascular disease.

Regular massages in a massage chair can help you relax and de-stress. Massage can alleviate tension and help you take a much-needed break from your everyday stresses.

Winter activities like snowboarding, skiing and skating are fun ways to stay active in the cold winter months, but they can be hard on the body. Muscle aches and soreness can leave you feeling miserable after a weekend on the slopes.

A good massage can help you feel better or even prevent soreness in the first place. The great news is that you don’t have to go far to enjoy a therapeutic massage. An at-home massage chair can help melt away stress and tension in minutes.

How Massage Chairs Help You Relax After Active Winter Sports

A full body massage chair is a great investment if you enjoy winter activities or lead an active life in general. Here’s how they can help you relax after engaging in active winter sports.

Massage Chairs Can Help Improve Blood Circulation

One major benefit of massages is that they help improve blood circulation. For example, one 2020 study found that a five-minute leg massage helped improve blood flow to the affected leg and the surrounding area. An older study saw similar results.

Improving blood flow benefits the body in many ways:

• Reduces stiffness
• Promotes flexibility
• Helps you feel more relaxed
• Helps soothe aches Improves breathing

When you have a massage chair at home, you can enjoy these benefits anytime you want.

If you’ve spent the afternoon or weekend snowboarding, skiing or doing some other winter activity, a massage session can do wonders to alleviate aches and pains. That's why so many active people use massage chairs as sports recovery equipment.

The increased blood flow also helps your body heal and recover faster after rigorous activity. In addition, better circulation helps deliver more nutrients to your damaged muscles.

How Massage Chairs Reduce Muscle Tension After Winter Sports

Intense activity can cause muscle tension and discomfort. A massage chair can help alleviate this tension, making muscle recovery less painful.

A chair with a sport massage feature can help massage away tension and gently stretch the muscles to prevent tightness and further tension.

Enjoying a chair massage before and after winter active sports can also help prevent tightness and tension.

Some people also argue that massage chairs strengthen the immune system. If you’re engaging in active winter sports, having a stronger immune system may help you stay healthy and even avoid getting sick.

When Is It Better to Use Massage Chairs:
Before or After Winter Active Sports?

You know that massage chairs can help improve blood flow and alleviate muscle tension. But the question is: when should you use your chair?

Is it better to use a massage chair before or after a winter workout?

Pre- and post-workout massages both have benefits.

• A massage before active winter sports can help loosen muscle tension and knots to improve flexibility. Having less stiffness and tension may help prevent injury, but it’s important to keep your massage light and brief. Save that deep tissue massage for later. And if you have any anxiety or stress about the activity, a quick massage can help you relax.
• A massage after active winter sports can help aid in recovery and reduce soreness. It’s best to get your massage within 2 hours of the activity to maximize the benefits. Research has shown that post-workout massages can help with muscle fatigue, reduce stiffness and more. One study found that massage was the most effective post-workout activity compared to stretching, active recovery, hyperbaric treatment and more.

As you can see, there are benefits to both pre- and post-activity massages. But most experts agree that you should save your massage for after the activity. You’ll maximize the recovery benefits and help your body relax after intense exercise.

The great news is that if you have a massage chair at home, you can experiment with pre- and post-workout massages in your own relaxation zone to see which one you like best.
