Initiate the Day Spa Treatment at Home with Massage Chairs

By James Knolan

Have you ever gotten a massage at one of your local spas? Memories of relaxing, and having your worries melt away is just too good to forget. The quiet time and calming music is a thing of beauty. I am getting more relaxed just thinking about it. Trouble is where did all my time go? I certainly enjoy getting a nice soothing massage, but I just not finding the time like I used to. One way I still get some great massage therapy and save time also is with my massage chair.

Massage chairs have really come a long way over the last few years. They now offer full body massage capability. Sure they cannot give you a facial or a peel yet, but they certainly can give you a satisfying massage. The premier massage chair recliners offer a huge diversity of massage therapies. For instance, the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra has massage therapies like Shiatsu, Hawaiian, Swedish, deep tissue, compression, kneading and many more. These massage techniques are dispensed at the touch of a button and for as long as you like.

One of the biggest advantages of having a massage chair of your own is its accessibility. The convenience of having a massage at any time you want or need is fantastic. You do not have to go at a set time. You can take your time or just grab a quickie before work. You can do other things while you are getting a massage as well--for those that really can't relax!

Day spas have some wonderful massage therapies. Do you enjoy having your feet massaged? The Montage Premier by Omega Massage sports a reflexology massage for your feet. Sit back and let the Montage Premier apply gentle pressure to hold your feet. The arch airbag then stretch your foot by elongating the muscles and tendons. The heal airbag then stretches the area around your heal. You feet are the gateway to relaxing your whole body. Omega does a great job in delivering a terrific foot massage.

The experience of getting a massage comes with the environment to relax. Typically, the lights are low. Soft rhythmic music is played in the background. You are encouraged to close your eyes and get in touch with you body. Empty the thoughts from your mind and become one again. Some massage chair companies really understand this and incorporate music therapy. Music helps to get your mind off of the thoughts that make you anxious. So turn the lights low and put on your favorite music to relax and you are back in the spa.

Now, I am not trying to convince you to give up your day spa visits. If you have the time, this is a perfect venue for meeting your massage and relaxation needs. However, if you do not have enough time and still want to get massage therapy, then massage chairs have really become a viable alternative. They seem expensive when compared to getting one treatment at a day spa, but the reality, is you are buying tremendous convenience at a fraction of what continuous trips to the day spa will run you. Check out some of the best massage chair brands like Panasonic, Sanyo or Omega and see for yourself.
