Massage Chairs Give You the Day Spa Treatment at Home
A day at the Day Spa is just a wonderful experience. There are so many treatments to choose from and you know you will be revitalized when you are done. The soothing relaxation and pampering is just what the doctor ordered. The day spa is always something I looked forward to doing, but I am just not finding the time to go as much. With the stress of the new economy upon us, we are all working harder to stay where we are at. Although, I do not make it to the day spa as much, I have found massage chairs to be a very convenient supplement for my massage therapy.
Most people think of massage chair recliners as focused on the back areas. While in the beginning this was true, now these chairs provide entire body massages. You can get specialized massages just for your feet. Many chairs have foot reflexology massages. Or if you like a sports massage, then the Real Pro Ultra by Panasonic can provide a broad range of therapies for you. The Panasonic chair has over 100 massage therapy variations for you comfort and enjoyment.
One of the biggest advantages of having a massage chair of your own is its accessibility. The convenience of having a massage at any time you want or need is fantastic. You do not have to go at a set time. You can take your time or just grab a quickie before work. You can do other things while you are getting a massage as well–for those that really can’t relax!
Day spas have some wonderful massage therapies. Do you enjoy having your feet massaged? The Montage Premier by Omega Massage sports a reflexology massage for your feet. Sit back and let the Montage Premier apply gentle pressure to hold your feet. The arch airbag then stretch your foot by elongating the muscles and tendons. The heal airbag then stretches the area around your heal. You feet are the gateway to relaxing your whole body. Omega does a great job in delivering a terrific foot massage.
One of the nice elements of a day spa is the atmosphere. When you get a massage, the lights are low, there is soft music playing in the background. It is a very relaxing environment and then of course, there is the massage. 50 minutes of having the kinks, knots and soreness worked out of your body. Interestingly, massage chairs have made strides in this area as well. Some massage chairs come with an MP3 music player where you can load in your relaxing music. You can put on the headphones, activate the music-massage synchronization button and the chair will massage you to the rhythm of the music. It is so easy to drift off and let the massage chair melt away your worries.
Now, I am not trying to convince you to give up your day spa visits. If you have the time, this is a perfect venue for meeting your massage and relaxation needs. However, if you do not have enough time and still want to get massage therapy, then massage chairs have really become a viable alternative. They seem expensive when compared to getting one treatment at a day spa, but the reality, is you are buying tremendous convenience at a fraction of what continuous trips to the day spa will run you. Check out some of the best massage chair brands like Panasonic, Sanyo or Omega and see for yourself.
