Getting a massage is often given as a special treat — as an “every-once-in-a-while” kind of thing. You give your loved one a gift certificate for a special occasion and that’s it. However, getting a massage more frequently offers a host of health benefits for your mind and body.
What if you could get a massage whenever you wanted, right in the comfort of your own space, with no appointment required? Instead of once a year, what if you got a massage once or twice a week, maybe more? By using a massage chair regularly at your home or office, you’ll get to enjoy the range of health benefits that come from getting a massage more often than a few-and-far-between occurrence.
5 Benefits of Regular Massage Chair Use
Using a massage chair regularly provides a wide range of health benefits, some of which include the following.
1. Reducing Muscle Tension and Soreness
Many hours spent sitting at a desk can lead to a sore neck and back and stiff muscles. Or, if your job requires you to be on your feet most of the day, your feet and legs are sure to be sore. Regardless of what you do for a living, each job comes with its own stressors. All in all, work is most often followed by muscle tension and soreness.
Massage chairs use various techniques to loosen and relax tight muscles, providing relief from stiffness, soreness, and pain. So take time to use your massage chair regularly after a long day at work.
2. Lowering Blood Pressure and Improving Blood Circulation
Another side effect of long hours at a desk is high blood pressure, amongst others, according to the Mayo Clinic. Along with taking frequent breaks to stand and take a walk, using a massage chair is recommended. Regular use of massage chairs can help reduce blood pressure levels, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. The gentle pressure and kneading action of massage chairs can also help improve blood flow, which can have a positive effect on your overall health.
3. Improving Flexibility and Range of Motion
Massage chairs can help improve flexibility and range of motion by loosening up tight muscles and increasing joint mobility. Perfect for pre- or post-workout schedules, adding a session in your massage chair to your exercise routine will help keep you nimble and flexible.
4. Better Sleep Quality
If you struggle with getting a good night’s rest, you may benefit from regular massage chair use. Massage therapy has been found to be effective in promoting deep relaxation, which can help improve sleep quality and reduce the symptoms of insomnia. And besides, who wouldn’t like a massage before bed?
5. Relieving Stress
There are so many things in our lives that can lead to stress. From work to taking care of our home and family and everything in between, plus all those things beyond our control, there are plenty of issues to stress about. However, stress not only affects our mental health but our physical health as well. So it’s important to take measures to reduce stress as much as possible on a daily basis.
Using an at-home massage chair regularly has been found to be an effective combatant against stress. Simply play some of your favorite soft music, turn down the lights, and take a quiet moment to get a soothing massage to move that stress out of your body and out of your mind.
These are just five of the many health benefits of using a massage chair regularly. It’s a great way to improve your physical and mental health, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enjoy a greater sense of well-being.
