Ratchet Your Health And Wellbeing With Massage Therapy

By Andrew Anton

Is your health really a priority in your life? Of course, we all answer yes. However, the reality is that we do not take good care of ourselves as we should. We are under more pressure and stress, then perhaps at any other time in history. We try to ignore this and try to work through it without realizing the devastating long term affects on our bodies. We need new ways to reduce stress. You may not have realized that you can effectively reduce your stress with massage therapy from a massage chair.

Stress can come from work or it may come from home. We react to the situation and our bodies defend the body by a release of chemicals. These chemicals will build up in the body if not consistently released. One very effective method of release is massage therapy.

Massage chairs are very advanced and can provide full body massages. They are particularly effective in relieving aches, pains and discomfort which can result from the build up of stress in our bodies. The massage chairs of today offer a tremendous variety of comprehensive and effective massage treatments.

What are the benefits of massage therapy? There are many studies that continue to show that receiving regular massage therapy helps in the following ways: It helps to remove toxins out of the body; it increases blood circulation; relaxes the muscles; increases muscle and joint flexibility to name a few. Also note that the studies point out that to obtain these benefits, massage therapy must be received on a recurring basis.

The convenience of a massage chair cannot be understated. The biggest obstacle we hear for receiving regular massage therapy is the time involved with going to a massage therapist. We just simply do not have time in our busy schedules to do this on a consistent basis. This is precisely why having a massage chair can be very convenient. You can get a 10 minute warm up massage before you hop in the shower or just before you go to bed. No appointment need and you have access around the clock.

We will be the first to admit that getting a massage from human hands is definitely the best method. There is just something special about the touch of a human that has no comparison. But then again, getting this on a regular basis is where the real benefit is obtained.

One of the ways a massage chair can save you time is that the massage is performed at different parts of your body simultaneously. A masseuse on the other hand, will massage just one part of your body and then move on to the next. A full body massage typically takes 50 minutes. A massage chair can perform the same amount of massage therapy in 10 minutes.

Believe it or not, but a massage chair is actually cheaper than using a masseuse for massage therapy. A typical massage chair will run for 1,000 hours. Even if you pay $3,000 for a massage chair, you are actually paying $3 per hour of massage. A masseuse will run you $50 per hour and you still need to tip. You get convenience and a great economic advantage to help relieve your stress!

Really make health a priority in your life. Take a positive step and start to find out more about massage chairs. Your sources of stress do not take a break, but you should. You need to find the right balance in today's turbulent times. We need to effectively relieve the negative effects of stress on our bodies. A massage chair is a convenient and cost effective method to do just that. - 30552
