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.

Wellbeing Massage Chairs

Massage chairs can help support heart health, but which one should you buy? First, let’s look at the types of massage chairs that are best for heart health and what features to look for when choosing your chair.

Types Of Massage Chairs

There are several types of massage chairs out there, but if you’re looking for heart health benefits, full body massage chairs are the best option.

A full body massage chair will have:

• S- and L-track massagers
• Leg and foot massagers

These chairs help get the blood flowing and alleviate tension throughout the entire body to help reduce stress.

Special Features of Massage Chairs

Modern massage chairs have features that can make the massage experience feel just like the real thing. Along with providing a full-body massage, many chairs also have:

• Acupressure features
• Lumbar heating to further reduce tension and pain
• Built-in speakers, so you can listen to relaxing music

You’ll find that many Human Touch massage chairs have these features and can help support heart health and overall well-being.

Final Thoughts

Massage chairs are a smart investment in your health and well-being. Regular massage sessions in your favorite chair can help promote better circulation, healthy blood pressure, and reduce stress and anxiety. All of these effects support heart health while helping improve your quality of life. These four chairs from Human Touch come equipped with the features you need to enjoy all of the heart-health benefits of massage.

One of the biggest questions and decisions for most adults “nap or keep going and crash later?” We have all been faced with this question on several occasions and obviously the answer is different for each individual based on their situation but here are a few of my experiences and hopefully you find them helpful.

I have always been an early riser so I wake up between 430 and 530 every morning so by the time the middle of the day comes sometimes I am out of gas. I have always fought with the idea of naps. What should be the length of my nap? Should I take the nap in the bed or couch? Should the tv be on or off?

When it comes to the length of my nap if always struggle, I’ve unfortunately called everything from 15 min to 2 hrs a nap and I know that’s not the case. So I looked back at the origin of problem to see what was really the need I was having so I could understand the goal of the nap. Sleep is for you body to recover but a nap is for you mind and body to recharge. I found that the longer or later in the day that I took my naps the harder it was for me to sleep that night which threw everything else off for me. So when looking at my naps I had to categorize each situation. Was my body tired and need of the recharge vs my mind tired and in need. I found that my Human Touch massage chair suppled the solution to both and had an answer to all the questions I had above my nap situation.

The length of the nap was easily addressed in the settings 10, 20 or 30 min. Each one is based on what I have going on at that moment. It I find myself mentally just frustrated or out of it but my body is good I do a 10 min session. I used the meditation setting I’ve got the calming sounds going in the speakers and I just let my mind drift and not think. This normally allows me to clear my mind and get rid of the frustration I’m having from looking at a problem the same way and not finding a solution. Some times I will even use the 20 min setting if I find myself just not being able to let it go completely. But the key for me is to mentally be in a different state when I leave the chair. My mind should be at peace and have more clarity and eventually I will find a way to solve the problem I’m having.

On the bed or on the couch, the answer is neither! Your Human Touch massage chair has the best ability to get your body in a state of being totally relaxed. The zero gravity feature allows every inch of your body to be relaxed and get the rest and rejuvenation needed. Don't get my wrong, the bed is a great place to take a nap but sometimes it can be a trap. Many time you will find yourself staying in the bed longer than you expected. This isn’t to say that your chair isn’t comfortable and that you can’t spend hours sleeping in your chair. The biggest difference is training. You have been conditioned your entire life to sleep in your bed 6-8 hours everyday vs chairs which have been a place you just relax. So you will get a nap in the chair and as it gently rocks back to the upright position from the zero gravity cradle you will have a reminder that it is time to get up.

Last question: tv off or on? You chair gives your the ability to use the speakers so you can have a variety of sounds that best calm and stimulate you. This is one of the best features of personalization because of the Bluetooth you can pair it with any device you wish to make it a truly unique experience. I like to pair it with my phone and have podcast or music playing while I nap at a low volume so it doesn’t distract me from from my recharge session. The other part that I like is just in case I fall asleep and don’t feel the chair go back to it’s upright position I will hear my alarm go off in the speakers and wake me up so I can get back going with my day.

My Super Novo chair has been such a great asset to my day to day life. I have definitely found a way to incorporate into 2-3 uses per day which has helped both my mental and physical performance. Thank you so much for reading this month’s section of the recovery corner I hope it was helpful in you wellness journey.

Are you looking for the best family gifts for Christmas? A massage chair may just be the right choice. For those who suffer from back pain or work stressful jobs, a massage chair is a gift that will keep on giving.

But how do you choose the right chair? And which chairs make the best gifts?

How To Choose a Massage Chair for Back Pain Relief

A massage chair is the best gift for back pain because it delivers relief on-demand. Kick back, relax and let the chair get to work alleviating tension and melting away stress.

When back pain is the main concern, there are several things to consider when choosing a massage chair, such as:

• Massage Intensity: Does the chair offer a gentle or intense massage? Intense massages aren’t ideal for everyone, so choose a level that the person or family will be comfortable with.
• Massage Technology: Chairs with an S- and L-track massage will massage from the neck and shoulders down to bottom of the spine and under the thighs. These chairs will deliver a full-body massage, especially if they have a built-in calf and foot massager.
• Extra Features: Things like lumbar heat, built-in speakers, acupressure systems and zero gravity seating will enhance the massage experience.

Why Can You Make a Difference in the Recipient’s Lifestyle with Such a Gift?

If you’re looking for healthy Christmas gifts or gifts for back pain, a massage chair is a thoughtful choice and can really make a difference in the person’s life by:

• Delivering natural pain relief on-demand
• Helping ease stress
• Promoting self-care

The recipient can enjoy the benefits of massage without ever having to leave their home. For those with mobility issues, busy schedules or difficulty finding a local massage therapist, a massage chair can help them finally get the relief they need.

When people buy massage chairs, they typically do so because they want to massage away tension and pain in their backs, shoulders and even lower body. However, there’s another function that advanced and modern massage chairs offer that often gets overlooked: stretching. A back stretching chair can help further improve pain and tension while making the massage experience more relaxing.

But what exactly is a back stretching massage chair? What are the benefits of stretching your back?

How Back Stretching Works in Massage Chairs

Most people are familiar with how the massage function works on a massage chair, but what about stretching? How exactly does that work?

Of course, the answer will depend on the massage chair itself. Stretching can be achieved in a few different ways.

If you’re using a built-in Stretch program, the chair may:

• Inflate its air cells, which wrap around your arms and legs.
• Move into a reclined position.
• Have its massage rollers move in an upward direction to gently stretch back muscles.

The stretching is typically gradual and gentle, making it ideal for those with sensitive back muscles or individuals who have never really had a stretching regimen.

Some chairs offer more rigorous and intense stretching options, but you can often adjust the intensity to your liking using the remote control or built-in navigation buttons.

Benefits of Back Stretching

Stretching, in general, provides many benefits for the entire body, but it can be especially beneficial for the back.

Why? Because stretching the muscles that support the spine can help alleviate pain and may even improve your range of motion.

In fact, experts say that stretching and strengthening back muscles is the key to not only alleviating but preventing back pain.

Stretching your back can help:

• Improve flexibility and your range of motion
• Reduce the risk of debilitating back pain
• Reduce or even eliminate tension in spine-supporting muscles
• Improve your posture
• Prevent injuries
• Decrease muscle soreness

Stretching clearly has many benefits for your back, but how can you take advantage of these benefits with your massage chair? It’s important to find the right massage chair that stretches back muscles and helps relax the muscles that support your spine.

More than 39 million Americans live with migraines, according to the American Migraine Foundation. Across the world, one billion people suffer from migraine disease.

If you’re one of the millions battling migraines, you know how challenging it can be to find relief. You may have heard that massage therapy can help with headache pain, but is this true? Can a massage help with migraines?

Effects of Massage on Reducing Headaches

If you’re struggling to find relief from migraines, you may be looking for alternative ways to kick the pain to the curb. A relaxing massage can help with headaches in many ways, and having a massage chair in your home makes it convenient to get relief whenever you need it.

But what are the benefits of massage therapy for migraines?

Here’s how massage can help reduce your headaches:

Eases Muscle Tension

Headaches and migraines are often the results of muscle tension in the neck, shoulders or back. Massage can help reduce that tension, which is the root cause of the headache.

Massage chair rollers can help stretch tense muscles and increase muscle elasticity to help alleviate and prevent tension that can lead to headaches.

Research has confirmed the tension-relieving effects of massage, which can help with headaches as well as muscle recovery.

Easing muscle tension can also help combat stress, which may contribute to migraines.

Improves Circulation

Massage can also help with headaches by improving circulation. Better blood flow means more oxygen is pushed through the body, which can alleviate pain and help with healing.

Research has shown that massage can help improve circulation, and these results can last for several days. Using a massage chair regularly can extend this effect and potentially keep headaches and migraines at bay.

Improved circulation has other beneficial effects that extend beyond headache relief. It can help:

• Support heart health
• Keep your brain sharp

Final Thoughts

A massage chair can offer the same benefits as massage therapy for headache and migraine relief.

Massage programs, lumbar heating and zero gravity seating can all work together to help melt away tension and stress that may be contributing to your headache pain.

Balance is a term commonly used in today’s world and it’s consistently connected to energy. These terms have become catch phrases without a consensus understanding of the words true meaning.

In reference to the human body, human output, and recovery, the term balance is truly nonexistent. In the medical views we work in “range” instead of balance, this is due heavily to the fact that life is a progression. Balance is a term that only exists in a stagnant form, a stage or state of no movement and no outside influences. Everyday your environment is forever changing just as you are forever changing. By the time you finish reading this article you will have gotten older, your environmental influences can be different and your internal influences may have changed as well. 

In trying to learn how to recover it is extremely important that you understand that it is a cycle. The things that you do will be extremely effective until your body builds a tolerance to that particular thing, which is when it’s important to introduce something new. Ironically, after introducing 3 to 4 new things you will be able to go back to your original recovery regimen and repeat that same cycle as long as there are no new injuries. We must remember that our body is our experience, and what works for us an individuals doesn’t have to fit into a current philosophy practiced. The most important part is that it works for you and allows you to be at your best at a most consistent base.

No one will ever not have bad days that a part of the journey and “balance” give the thought that when those bad days happen it’s because you of out of sorts. Days when you aren’t feeling 100 percent can come from a long line of things but most of them aren’t bad especially when you are training towards a goal of getting better. Growth in any arena is extremely difficult and stressful but it’s because you are pushing your mind and body to new levels. This is simply the act of you changing your threshold or range, while doing this it’s important to consume enough of the proper food, the correct amount of water as well as get the proper a mouth of rest (not sleep but rest, including recovery using products such as the Super Novo massage chair). 

Over the next 90 days I will document my journey and I prepare for the opportunity to win 4 Long Drive World Championships in three different divisions. During the next 90 days I will push myself at the highest levels of all ranges to see if I can achieve this goal. It will be extremely tough but necessary to get every ounce of production out of my body. I hope you enjoy following me on this journey. 

Massage therapy offers a wealth of health and wellness benefits for older adults. However, booking regular massages with a professional masseuse can be costly and difficult to coordinate. A massage chair allows older adults to enjoy the benefits of a massage anytime they want from the comfort of home.

But how do you find the right chair? We’re going to share the best therapeutic chairs for elderly users and uncover the benefits of having a massage chair at home.

Health Benefits of Massage Chairs for Seniors

Massage is a natural, simple and drug-free way to help reduce pain, alleviate tension, improve circulation and more. A massage chair is an investment in your wellness and can help improve your quality of life.

Let’s look at some of the many health benefits of massage chairs for seniors.

Better Circulation

Massage can help improve circulation, which is crucial for overall health and well-being. Proper circulation ensures that blood and oxygen reach every organ for optimal functioning.

Good circulation keeps your heart healthy, speeds up healing and keeps your brain sharp. But as we age, it becomes more challenging to maintain proper blood flow. Having a massage chair at home means that seniors can reap the circulation-improving benefits of a massage anytime they wish.

Less Pain

One great benefit of massage is that it can help with pain. Many older adults suffer from pain, particularly arthritic pain. While massage won’t cure this pain, it can certainly help reduce it. Increased blood flow to affected areas can help reduce the inflammation and burning that lead to discomfort and pain.

A back massager for elderly users can also help with lower back pain.

Seniors who suffer from osteoarthritis will find that regular sessions in a massage chair can help reduce stiffness and pain. In addition, some experience improved mobility over time.

Less Stress

Many older adults suffer from stress. Over time, chronic stress can lead to depression, anxiety, chronic illness, gastrointestinal issues, muscle tension, migraines, high blood pressure and more.

Massage chairs help ease muscle tension and help the body relax to alleviate stress. At the same time, it also helps the body release endorphins, neurotransmitters and hormones that uplift your mood and make you feel good.

Improved Sleep

Up to half of older adults have difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep. Poor quality sleep can lead to weight gain, depression, a higher risk of diabetes and other chronic health issues.

A therapeutic massage can help you get into a deep state of relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Choosing the Perfect Massage Chair for a Senior

Now that you understand the benefits of massage chairs and know some of the top chairs for seniors, you may be wondering: How do I choose one?

Finding the right relaxing chair for old person doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some points to consider.

Massage Intensity

When choosing a massage chair for an older adult, one of the first things to consider is the massage intensity. Some chairs deliver a more rigorous massage than others. Those with more sensitive muscles and joints may prefer chairs that offer a gentler experience.

On the other hand, some older adults prefer a more intense massage to help with pain and severe muscle tension.

Choose a suitable intensity level to match the senior’s comfort level and preference.

Chair Size

The size of the chair is another important consideration. Consider where the chair will be placed and the size of the space. Massage chairs come in a wide range of sizes, including compact models that are ideal for smaller rooms.

Built-in Programs

Many massage chairs have built-in programs, like Sleep or Relax. These programs offer targeted benefits and make it easier for older adults to enjoy the experience they want. While automatic programs aren’t necessary, they may be preferred by seniors who want a simple, one-touch massage experience.

Leg and Calf Massager

For seniors with circulation issues and swelling in the feet and legs, a chair with a leg and calf massager may be a great investment. These chairs offer a full-body massage experience while bringing some much-needed relief from pain and swelling.

Zero Gravity

When choosing a massage chair for a senior, another important thing to consider is whether the chair can move into the zero gravity position.

Zero gravity can be beneficial for older adults. The position minimizes the impact of gravity on the body and helps decompress the spine. In addition, seniors who have issues with herniated discs or back pain may find that zero gravity brings some relief.

Heat

Many massage chairs also have lumbar heating to help ease muscle tension and stress. For older adults with stiff and aching muscles and joints, heat can bring relief from discomfort and pain.

When choosing a massage chair for an older adult, these are some of the most important features to consider. Of course, your budget will also be a consideration. However, it’s important to remember that a massage chair is an investment in your health and wellness. For older adults dealing with pain, tension and stress, it’s worth the cost of choosing a quality chair that offers all of the features they desire.

Dangers of Using Massage Chairs for Seniors

It’s easy to assume that massage chairs are safe for all seniors. While most can benefit from having their own massage chair, there are some older adults who should avoid them or only choose chairs with gentle settings.

• Seniors with muscle sprains, bruises and fractures should avoid using massage chairs. The massage rollers and vibrations can cause pain, additional bruising and inflammation.
• Older adults with osteoarthritis should be cautious when using massage chairs. High intensity settings may damage the spine.
• Seniors with a history of blood clots should talk to their doctors before using massage chairs.
• Those who are on blood thinners should stick to gentle massage settings. Intense massages can cause bleeding and bruising.

Can Insurance Cover a Massage Chair?

If massage chairs offer therapeutic benefits, can they be covered by insurance? Many older adults ask this question. Most are purchasing a massage chair to help alleviate pain or to support treatment for a medical condition. Can insurance help cover the cost of this investment?

Unfortunately, insurance companies typically do not cover the cost of a massage chair. Massage chairs do not have a DME or insurance medical code, so they aren’t covered by most policies.

That being said, it doesn’t hurt to contact your insurance company for clarification. Every policy and insurance company is different. While it’s not common for massage chairs to be covered, your policy may be the exception.

Final Thoughts

A massage chair can be a great investment for older adults. Along with relaxation and stress relief, the right chair may also help with pain, circulation and sleep quality. Review the chairs listed above to find one that’s ideal for the older adult in your life.
