Massage wraps, car covers and other devices, of course, have some positive impact on the well-being of a person and on his health. However, to compare the effect of a mechanical massage with a manual massage session, until recently, was at least unreasonable.
The opinion of customers, as well as regular customers of massage parlors, has changed with the advent of massage chairs, complex systems consisting of many sensors, rollers and joints. According to experts, many types of manipulations that such chairs offer are simply not available to the manual.
First of all, we are talking about such a regimen as “shocking massage”. The chair reproduces about five hundred taps, reminiscent of the blows of human fingers. Alas, this technique is not available to ordinary specialists, no matter how expensive they did not use. What else can surprise us with this miracle of technology from Japan (armchairs and more budget brands made in Korea and even China are represented on the Russian market)?
At least the fact that perfectly master seven or more massage techniques. The most popular, according to the Sport and Relax store (www.sportandrelax.ru), the following modes are used by buyers:
- “Spinal traction" is a truly healing procedure that you can only be trusted to perform with a proven specialist, while the chair will take care of your back delicately and without errors. The principle of operation of this program is that the legs of a person sitting in an armchair are neatly but securely fixed. The back of the chair begins to gradually deviate, slowly arching and straightening the spine.
- "Reflexology". For this procedure, it is necessary to equip the chair with a special pneumatic footrest, which puts pressure on the person’s feet, thereby recreating a manual foot massage.
- “Foot massage” is a program that is very popular among athletes and lovers of wearing high-heeled shoes. This mode gently acts on the back of the lower leg, providing relaxing and analgesic effects.
- “Compression” is an indispensable procedure for all those who suffer from poor posture. Perhaps this program is the most complex, it comprehensively affects the muscle corset, and the spine, and the cervical spine.
