Now we have 5D massage chairs, where the rollers use sensors to detect the tightness or tension of the muscles they’re massaging.

That feedback is sent back to the chair’s computer, which can then adjust the rollers to accommodate changes in muscle tension. These 5D chairs can make those adjustments throughout the course of the massage.

Muscle tension can change as the massage progresses. Ideally, that’s exactly what you want to happen, right? The massage chair is designed to relax the muscles, break down scar tissue, and increase the range of motion of the spinal segments.

As the muscles relax, the chair can detect those changes and adjust the roller pressure accordingly—either increasing or decreasing the intensity, depending on what the program is designed to do.

Anyway, I hope you found this video helpful. I’m Dr. Alan Weidner from Massage Chair Relief, and I’ll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
