An Overview of Massage Chairs, Quality Differences and Different Models
Massage chairs come in many varieties and price categories. There are different functions, the quality of workmanship differs significantly depending on the system and manufacturer. We offer here a small overview of the functions and possibilities.
In order to bring body, mind and soul into harmony and to stimulate the flow of energy in users, different, individually adjustable massage modes are desirable when it comes to massage chairs. A spectrum from gentle embedding and tender touch to strong massage with stretching, strengthening and tapping is required. This is made possible by a sophisticated combination of air pressure and roller massage techniques. Thanks to a body sensor, intelligent massage chairs not only adjust their massage to the body vertically, horizontally and in depth, but also determine the individual contours of the back. They have the designation "4D" in the product name. They work along different acupressure points so that the life energy "Qi" can flow freely. Another setting option of good massage chairs is the heart-balance position. This allows users to experience a physical mode of weightlessness (zero gravity). The equipment of good massage chairs also includes an arm massage, a calf kneading massage and a vibration function. This gently relaxes the arms and legs. Another special feature can be the so-called cradle functions - settings by means of which the chair gently moves users into different lying positions during their massage. The resulting shift of the body weight varies the massage intensity depending on the center of gravity and the blood circulation is gently stimulated. For customers, especially in the private sector, who have little space, the required space of the chair also plays a significant role. For those who want a massage of the buttocks, there may be chairs on the short list whose massage rollers do not stop in the lumbar area, but also massage the buttocks. In all massage chairs of the brainLight GmbH, the massage techniques are based on both the classic Swedish massage, the Japanese Shiatsu and thus the meridian teachings of traditional Chinese medicine and work along the acupressure points (meridians). Massage chairs with a calf section instead of a foot massage are favorite models of commercial customers. Without having to take off your shoes first, the feel-good experience can start immediately. Lined with OEKO-Tex 100 certified leatherette, massage chairs can also meet ecological standards.
Shiatsu massage comes from Japan and is a form of bodywork. It is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is integrated into all brainLight GmbH massage chairs. The basis of Shiatsu is the meridian system of the body. Meridians are energy channels through which the life energy Qi flows. Qi underlies all bodily functions. When too little Qi flows through the meridians, physical symptoms appear. The balance of Qi flow can be restored in the meridian system through regular Shiatsu massages. Thus, the health problems regulate themselves. Shiatsu stimulates and harmonizes the flow of Qi throughout the body. Shiatsu is very popular in Europe because it is a natural approach to dealing with health problems while promoting mental and physical well-being. Shiatsu massage is a deeply relaxing experience. It also helps to treat a wide range of health problems. It can help with insomnia, digestive problems, bad posture, headaches, coughs and colds, sprains and, of course, tension in the neck, shoulders and back. Even in full health, Shiatsu massage is also very relaxing. Good massage chairs offer Shiatsu massage for the back in several speed levels.
Modern massage chairs have a hand and foot massage function each. A targeted hand or foot massage leads to relaxation and well-being. The reflex zones, localized in the hands and feet, each communicate with an internal organ of the body. Therefore they can be treated by gentle pressure on the skin. A disordered or diseased organ can also be strengthened in this way. At the same time, blood circulation is promoted and the body's own defense system is strengthened. The origins of therapeutic foot and hand reflexology are rooted in Chinese and Indian medicine and date back some 5000 years. Reflexology massage is one of the alternative applications of Far Eastern medicine.
The massage in the chair can be supported by a heating function, especially in the cooler season. Comfortable warmth makes the muscles in the back area more supple. Thus, this area responds better to the treatment of the 24/7 masseur, the massage chair. The heating function can be selected as infrared heat. This function is localized in the backrest of the massage chair. The heat of the infrared rays has a very intensive effect. The upper layer of the user's skin absorbs it and allows it to penetrate the body through the skin's blood vessels as heat energy. From there, it is quickly distributed throughout the organism by the blood circulation.
A good massage chair massages the entire back of the user's body. The precise positioning of the massage rollers on the acupressure points is ideally made possible by an individual body scan. The massage is thus automatically adjusted to the determined body length data. A timer function can allow the massage duration to be set via the control panel. In addition, an automatic limit switch ensures energy-saving use of a massage chair. The manual control on the control panel can be used to set seat and reclining positions.
To make the technology available while sitting on the chair, an accessory bag for the control panel with a clear LCD display should be included in the scope of delivery. It is nice if the control panel can be used in different languages. An insert pad in the back area facilitates the massage for people whose back muscles are not so pronounced. It can be easily removed if a more intensive back massage is desired. The same applies to the foot area. Here, inlay pads, which soften the foot massage, can be easily removed in case of the desire for more intensive massage of the soles of the feet.
