How Often Can You Use A Massage Chair?

Here’s a puzzling situation: You have decided to bring home a state-of-the-art massage chair. You have considered just how much space it can take up. You even moved things around after you found its perfect spot in your living room. All you have to do is to cozy up and press a button so you can finally experience its long list of advanced features.

And then it dawns on you. How often can you use this massage chair, anyway? To answer your newfound realization, let’s take a look at these different scenarios, one by one:

You Can Use A Massage Chair In The Mornings

Do you love that refreshed and recharged feeling you get, just after rolling out of bed? Well, here’s some good news for you. A quick 20-minute session using your massage chair’s Wake-Up or Stretching mode can get you that energy and focus that you need to start your day. Most massage chairs like the Osaki Alpina have auto-programs like these, for good reason. If you’re in great shape and just need a morning boost, it’s just like getting your daily cup of coffee, minus the short-lived caffeine, of course.

But what if it’s the other way around? You’re looking for an unwinding routine. Guess what?

You Can Use A Massage Chair Almost Every Night, Too

Consider the science behind the benefits of massage on sleep quality - having a good 20 to 30-minutes (for about three times a week) of gentle tapping and kneading on your holistic massage chair effectively helps your body relax. And what comes after complete relaxation? Your body is conditioned to easily drift into dreamland for the nights to come. Simply press that “Sleep” (or another similar massage mode) button on the armchair’s control panel and you’re all set for the night.

Looking for a fitness-related circumstance? Say no more.

You Can Use A Massage Chair After Every Workout, As Well

All tired and sore from your workout session at the gym? No need to keep yourself from getting that much-needed massage therapy just because you’re all sweaty. You know what’s actually a good idea? Just go for it. Give yourself (and your muscles) a break.

Will it make a difference? Absolutely! In fact, if you’ve ever heard of Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), then you’ll know that a massage chair in the comfort of your own home is heaven-sent. In other words, you can go ahead and get that satisfying session in your massage chair right after you’ve hit your fitness goals.

Why? For one, you’ll feel rewarded. And for that, you will be more motivated to keep exercising. And the second reason? That’s precisely what your chair’s Recovery or Sports massage program is for. You see, these machines have been designed to recreate effective massage strokes such as kneading and other targeted moves to help your muscles repair themselves after strenuous physical activity.

In need of something to relieve body pain caused by tight muscles? Look no further.

You Can Use A Massage Chair Every Week To Address Pain

Does it feel like you are suffering from chronic pain in specific areas of your body such as your neck or your back? Fortunately, if you can spare 30 to 60 minutes, you can use a massage chair just about every week, to help keep the pain meds at bay.

Familiar with the full-body massage auto-program mode? Your favorite massage chair definitely has one. It may be done using multidimensional massage rollers doing a combination of masterful tapping and kneading. Or through strategically-placed airbags that can execute powerful compressing. Perhaps, even one that has infrared heating or the latest Zero-G functionality.

The bottom line - Used responsibly every few weeks or so, you can say goodbye to body pain as regular sessions in your massage chair improves your blood circulation, relieves pressure off your spine and calms your irritated nerves.

You know what else is interesting?

You can even use a massage chair regularly, to facilitate healing.

Are you in need of complementary and alternative ways to recover from an injury? Then, you’re in luck. You can actually use a massage chair with deep tissue functionality regularly to help your damaged muscles recover.

Define regular? It actually depends on the severity of the underlying condition as well as the person’s tolerance for pain. One study has noted that deep tissue massage (DTM) can be done as frequently as every day. Simply put, it’s always best to get proper medical advice to ensure that your use of your home massage chair will be optimal for your body’s healing.

So, to conclude, while you have all the control when it comes to how often you will use your massage chair, there will always be things to consider. Keep in mind -  massage therapy is quite heavenly, but moderation is still key.
