Massage Chair | Massage recliners | Interactive Health | Human Touch

Good massage chairs attempt to mimic a deep tissue massage as applied by a licensed massage therapist. Therefore, benefits of massage therapy are also available to a user of a chair massages the body. Interactive Health has created a "Human Touch" robotic massage chair that most closely replicates the hands of a massage therapist. Here are some of the physiological benefits you can expect from a massage recliner:

Deep relaxation and stress release (our guess is that you’ll fall asleep the first time you use the chair!).

Back and neck pain relief . Most of your body aches and pains come from the muscles. Address the muscles, as your robotic massage chair does, and you will see less and less pain. This also applies to…

Relief of muscle tightness and stiffness (you’ll feel like “putty” when you’re done).

Improved blood and lymph flow . Blood and lymph serve to clean out the body of harmful toxins. Vigorously working the muscles will increase and enhance blood and lymph flow which will increase toxin removal from your body. This benefit may positively affect your blood pressure, too!

Improved healing . Improved blood flow will increase oxygen transport to your body tissues. You need oxygen to heal. If the blood flow is improved, oxygen levels will be optimized and your tissues will heal better and quicker.

Reduced muscle spasm . If you’ve ever had a massage from a licensed massage therapist, you’ve noticed how good your muscles feel when you are done. Knots that were there before are now gone. Your Human Touch shiatsu massage chair will do the same thing. Not only do you get relief from tightness and stiffness in the muscles, but actual spasms will disappear.

Increased flexibility . Relax your muscles…and your movement improves. Sometimes the effect is quite dramatic. Try bending over and touching your toes before you begin your human touch massage chair session. Then, do it again afterwards. You’ll be quite surprised at how much better your movement will be!

Increased endorphin levels . Endorphins are your body’s own natural pain relievers. Exercise, chiropractic manipulation, and massage just happen to be three great ways to increase your endorphin levels.

Many folks have noticed improved breathing. There is nothing like a robotic massage chair to work the muscles around your rib cage. You may even feel some ribs actually “pop” back into place while you are on your chair. These tight muscles and ribs can restrict your ability to breathe and you may not have any idea that it is happening…until you get off your shiatsu massage chair, that is! Try it…take a deep breath after a session and see if your breathing is deeper and easier.

Improved posture . Many people who suffer musculo-skeletal pain have poor posture. The most common posture seen in a chiropractor’s office, for example, is the forward head carriage and extra-rounded rib cage (the “slouched” look). This posture is devastating on all the support muscles, ligaments, and bones. Your new Interactive Health massage chair will help to reverse that posture. After a human touch massage chair session, you will feel as though you are standing straighter. Do it everyday and those changes will seem to last longer and longer.

Prevention of degenerative arthritis . This links to the posture problem. Poor posture results in poor loading of the body relative to gravity which, in turn, will result in degenerative arthritis. In other words, when your posture is bad, gravity wears you down a lot quicker. Changing your posture and the way your muscles and ligaments function will change the abnormal loading of your body which, in turn, will slow down the process of arthritis in your spine! You won’t fully appreciate this until you’re over 40 and you begin to discover new aches and pains that you can’t figure out where they came from. Do what you can, today, to prevent that from happening. You certainly don’t want to look even more hunched over as you get older, do you?

General feeling of well-being . You can’t improve muscle function, blood and lymph flow, endorphin levels, and your posture without feeling better generally. Feeling better will, in turn, improve your overall attitude. People that are in pain and discomfort have a harder time feeling “up” and motivated. It is truly amazing to see how different a person can look just by being pain-free. It almost seems like their whole countenance changes when they are feeling better. And that can affect so many other areas of your life.
