Having a massage chair is a great way to relax, stretch out, and recover from any pains you might have. As a lifestyle and self-care essential, the difference a massage chair can bring to your life is incredible.
But what exactly makes a massage chair that good for recovery?
Here, we’re going to cover 5 things which make massage chairs good for recovery, to help you feeling in tip top shape.
So without further ado, let’s get started.
TLDR: A massage chair is great for five main reasons, it can help you stretch, it loosens your muscles, it improves the quality of your sleep, it makes you feel better mentally, and helps you feel energised again.
Keep reading to get into the juicy details of how incredible a massage chair can be.
Massage chairs are perfect to help you stretch your body!
They do such a great job, even though you’re not moving at all! This is because you can control the tilt on a massage chair, with the legs and back parts being controlled independently!
Because of this ability, massage modes such as the Thai massage mode are available in higher end massage chairs. With a massage chair with superior tilt and controllability, you can get a stretch that looks like this.
As you can see, the person in the massage chair has their legs pulled down with the leg part of the massage chair. This is done by the feet and calf massage chairs puffing up, holding the legs in place, then the leg component slowly pulling the legs down.
Don’t worry about the speed of this, our gif of the OGAWA Master Drive Plus Massage Chair has been sped up by four times! In reality, it’s a nice, slow pull that really stretches out the muscles.
At the end of the stretch, it will hold it for a couple of seconds, then slowly release your legs back. The second part of this involves tilting your back backwards, while also pulling your legs forward slightly.
Trust me, this feels amazing on your quads.
Once it’s done pulling, the massage chair tilts back into position.
This cycle repeats once every two minutes in the Thai massage mode, so that way, you’ll never need to worry about staying still for too long in your massage chair. Iif anything, you’re getting the movement you need, all while staying still!
This should be obvious! Massage chairs are perfect for loosening muscles, because massages do the exact same thing! I’ve already gone over how a massage chair is similar, and many times even better than a masseuse, but to show you something new, here’s the best part about a massage chair and how it loosens your muscles.
That’s right! There’s heating modes in our massage chairs! With a nice little heater at the back of your chair, it’s perfect for a cold night’s snuggle, perfect for falling asleep, and even better for loosening those muscles which can’t just be pressed into tenderness.
For many people who like soft massages, but also want their muscles loosened, this is the best solution you could look for. There’s no need to go for multiple massages, when you can get the same result quicker and easier with the heating function in the massage chair. Once you use it, you’ll never feel the need to worry about recovery again!
Similar to how a massage can help you sleep, so can a massage chair!
I mean, why wouldn’t it?
Imagine getting a massage, right before you head to bed. You’re tired, but you feel relaxed.
Once you hit that bed, you’ll definitely fall asleep within a couple of minutes.
If you don’t believe me, how about seeing the research that has been done for OGAWA Massage Chairs and how they have been proven to improve the quality of sleep!
To summarise the findings, the report showed how OGAWA massage chairs helped 4 out of the 5 participants get better sleep, one which they felt more rejuvenated after waking up, and reported higher energy levels during the day.
That alone can prove how a massage chair, namely an OGAWA massage chair, can give you that recovery you need, and the boost in the day!
People know that massages are a great way to relax, but why?
The science behind a massage is simply explained by the neurotransmitter called endorphins.
Endorphins, which are neurotransmitters released through physical activity not only help reduce pain, but also improve your mood and promote relaxation.
Massage chairs help your body release endorphins, without needing all the extra effort required in physical activity!
Thus, scientifically, massage chairs can help improve your mood and make you feel more relaxed. Massage chair wellness doesn’t just come from its physical benefits, but also its mental!
There’s nothing worse than feeling drained, or unable to move.
We all have those days where we want to lie on the couch, relax, lay back and just not do anything.
Scrolling, scrolling and endlessly scrolling through your phone, hoping for the motivation to get up.
What if I told you that massage chairs can help you reduce your fatigue?
Within 20 minutes, you’ll be feeling charged up and ready to go!
All you need to do is sit back in a massage chair, and let the massage chair do its magic!
If you’re ever tired, or just really need to relax, then the massage chair is perfect for you.
Not only can it help you physically, but mentally too! It’s got your back whenever you’re feeling tired, drained, or just not bothered to do anything!
So what are you waiting for?
Why not see which massage chair would suit you best!
The Thai massage function sounds lovely. Never knew that massage chairs can help me stretch.
