Chair massage is a form of therapeutic massage performed in a time-condensed session. Special designed, ergonomic massage chairs are designed to elongate the muscles of the back and are designed to accommodate clients of all body types.

A typical chair massage is generally concentrated on the muscles of the neck, shoulders, back, and arms. Reflexology, a type of foot massage, can also be added to a chair massage.

Chair massages are the source of many important benefits. The most obvious is the convenience for the user. Many massage chairs are portable, allowing for a massage in many different settings. Typical massage chairs are space condensed; they also provide a certain amount of privacy since the user doesn’t need to undress in order to receive the benefits of the massage.

Other benefits of a chair massage include the emotional and physical help the user receives. Chair massage reduces anxiety and tension located primarily in the muscles of the shoulders, neck and back. At the same time, chair massage helps to increase circulation allowing muscles to get the nutrients they need to repair and maintenance.

Studies have shown that chair massage can help increase a user’s cognitive function, helping the user to maintain focus and increase creativity. They have also shown the benefits for relief of sufferers of chronic headaches and insomnia.
