Chair massage is performed by certified and insured practitioners who use a mix of deep tissue and Swedish massage techniques, usually around the muscle groups on the neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands.

The massage chair folds up easily and is totally portable. It may be set up almost anywhere. A conference room, spare office or quiet room are perfect but when need be, the massage chair may be set up right in front of a desk. Only around a 5×6 foot area is required. This, and the truth that the client remains fully dressed, makes chair massage very convenient and and as well eliminates the requirement for total privacy.

Qualifications for Chair Massage- Buyer Beware!

Massage therapists are professionally trained, registered or certified and insured. They are educated in the application of appropriate massage techniques and assisted stretching. Through proper use and combination of posture, body-weight, and techniques, massage therapists  can work on deep muscle tissues and relieve tension in quite a short period of time.

Although chair massage is helpful on many levels it isn’t considered therapeutic in some therapists perspective but recognized as relaxation massage.

Buyer Beware!

Unfortunately there those are out there that provide one day chair massage certifications to the public. This is dangerous and harmful to the public.  As a customer you want to make sure the receipt issued to you is from a legitimate registered or licensed massage therapist.

The Chair Massage Itself

Before the massage begins the practitioner will ask a couple of health-related questions. This is important to ensure chair massage is okay. Despite the fact that there aren’t many conditions which can be aggravated by seated massage, sometimes it is much better  not to get a massage, e.g., fever or flu. Just in case of localized pain for instance a sprained wrist or even a cut to the hand, the practitioner can usually work around those areas.

The practitioner then demonstrates getting  into the massage chair and it’ll be adjusted until you are perfectly comfortable.

Frequently worked areas are the muscle groups on the neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands. They are  generally the areas where the majority of tension builds up. However, it is usually possible for your  practitioner to work around your scalp, legs and feet. The massage typically lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to half-hour determined by the specified arrangements but may be customized to any length of time.
