Portable Massage Chairs

Portable massage chairs offer many benefits for both customers and massage therapists. Below we will examine what these benefits are and also take a look at the history of portable massage chairs.

Portable massage chairs were invented in 1986 by David Palmer. Since 1986, the portable massage chair has evolved in many ways – most of which include the materials used to make them and the fact they now include informative videos and guides. For example, the first portable massage chairs did not include manuals on how to assemble the chairs correctly. The early portable massage chairs primarily used wood materials while the new portable massage chairs use high tech metals and plastics. Also, while the original portable massage chairs did allow some adjustments to be made, the difference between the possible adjustments then and now is night and day.

So what are some of the benefits of using portable massage chairs? For customers, it is an added level of security. Many customers simply do not feel comfortable with lying on a table. This is particularly true of those who have been sexually abused in the past or may be too hyper vigilant to lie down and relax. Also, portable massage chairs are ideal for customers who are unable to climb up on a table to lie down such as the elderly. They are also ideal for customers who have asthma and may have difficulty breathing while lying on their stomach or back. For massage therapists, the benefits involve a more expanded and substantial customer base. For example, portable massage chairs can be brought to company offices where they are offering massages for their employees. They could also be brought to shopping malls or places where there are large numbers of people. Really the possibilities are limitless. When it comes down to it, portable massage chairs are good for the customers and a must have for any serious massage therapist.
