When most people think of getting a massage they usually think about lying on a massage table, wearing nothing but a towel, and having their full body worked on by a professional massage therapist. You either love it or don’t even want to try it. Personally, I’m not the massage table type. Yet as a massage practitioner, I know the many physical and mental benefits of massage, and they are many. For those who love their full-body massage, they may not be able to make time for it as often as they may need and may find they get tense and stressed between appointments.
Chair massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, upper and lower back, and arms and hands and is performed sitting on a specially designed chair. Chair massage is easy and convenient as there is no need to remove clothing or climb onto a massage table and it is also less expensive. Chair massage is an excellent alternative to fit in-between your full-body massage appointments or a perfect, easy way to still get the benefits of massage without the massage table routine.
Massage has so many incredible benefits, it relaxes muscles, reduces stress, and improves sleep, circulation, and flexibility, to name a few. A chair massage is less invasive, if that is your personal preference, and typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes which makes it easier to fit into your schedule.
No matter what you feel like when you sit down in the chair, you’ll feel better by the time you get up.
