Tips on Increasing the Effectiveness of Your Massage Chair Therapy

If you want to get the most out of your massage, then you need to consider the surroundings in which you are receiving the massage. In order for you to relax you need to set the stage so that you can fully relax. We offer a few simple tips that can dramatically affect the results of your massage experience.

Relaxation is a vital aspect of receiving a massage. The mind has a great hold over the tension residing in your body. When your mind cannot relax then neither can your body. This will help you unwind the tension that is permeating through your body when under stress.

The major aspect of relaxation is psychological. If your mind concentrates on the problems of the day, then it’ll be hard for the body to relax. Stress, anxiety and other issues cause tension in your body.

When your body is under tension, it is holding your muscles taut. This sustained attention results in muscle stiffness and fatigue. The muscles simply become tight and loose their flexibility. If your mind hold on to its troubles then it is harder for the muscles in the body to relax.

Perhaps the most important single item is to avoid interruptions. Once you get your mind in a state of relaxation, then you want to avoid somebody taking you out of this state of calmness during your massage. It is important to find the right time and place where interruptions can be avoided or minimized.

As you begin to get your massage you will start to get better connected with your body. You will feel tension start to be relieved as the mind and body are relaxing. Receiving a telephone call will certainly interrupt this state of mind. If you can remove your cell phone and telephone from being a potential disturbance to your therapy session, then your total experience will be enhanced.

Put on some soft music to relax your mind. The music should not have any singing but just the plain of instruments. This will provide soft melodies and rhythms for your mind to relax. The mind follows the music and loses track of its thoughts and worries. This enables the mind to better connect with the body for a more wholesome connection.

Many massage chairs come equipped with an MP3 player and headphones. Headphones are perfect to drown out the ambient noise. By using headphones and soft music, you can remove a whole layer of potential distractions. This is a great way to relax your mind and let it drift off into the music.

Lowlight conditions are preferred to induce greater relaxation. If the lights are too bright, then it is harder to relax and distracting. Low lighting helps to establish an environment of relaxation. If you have a dimmer, put the lights on the lower settings.

The scent of something nice is another way to complement your treatment. You can use a soft fragrance. Fresh cut flowers can be a good way to go. There are also many candles which he made a fragrance while burning. These can provide a nice scent to help your relaxation.

Make sure that what you wear is not too tight. Tight clothes can act as another layer of skin. This will make it harder for the massage to come in contact with your muscles and soft tissue areas. You can also better relax with loose fitting clothes then with tight fitting clothes.

These are just a few tips to help you increase the effectiveness of your massage chair. It is important for your mind to let go of its troubles so your body and muscles can relax. If the muscles are tense and tight massage, then it is harder to penetrate then and soothe their stiffness. Make a few small changes in how you receive your massage chair therapy and you will be happy with the results.

Massage Chair Review for Sanyo HEC DR7700K Massage Recliner

A relative newcomer to the massage chair industry is Sanyo. The first challenge for a relative newcomer is where to find them. This is extremely difficult, since Sanyo lacks distribution in brick and mortar stores. Most customers have a hard time trying to find a place to try them. They are starting to find their way to internet dealers, but most customers have a hard time trying to find a place to try them. Shiatsu massage chairs have been on the market for 30 years. Sanyo entered the 30 year old massage chiar market only a few years ago. The flagship model of the Sanyo line is the HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity Massage Chair. The HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity Massage Chair is retails for about $5,000. Sanyo is begining to find internet dealers, but do not have any significant retail accounts.

First off, you are buying a chair for your needs. Second, the company that makes it is like your mother-in-law, it is just part of the package. You pick the chair like your spouse, but then the manufacturer becomes your mother-in-law. Now, of course, manufacturers vary (just because you are big does not make you better, kind of like mother-in-laws). So, Sanyo, your potential mother-in-law, how will she treat you, or how is their customer service? Sanyo has a 24/7 call center for warranty issues located in the US (sometimes a big plus if you speak English). Their service in our experience has been fine, with most issues resolved in a relatively short time.

Benchmark a manufacturer’s warranty to gage their confidence in the product. Shorter and less coverage equate to less confidence by the manufacturer. Whereas, warranties that are longer and more comprehensive protects the customer and provides additional value. Quite Frankly, Sanyo’s warranty is mediocre at best. Sanyo should have one of the strongest warranties. Especially a new entrant, however, compared to the competition, Sanyo’s warranty is much weaker. Sanyo’s warranty is 3 years on the roller mechanism, 1 year labor, 1 year parts. One bright note, Sanyo now offers in-home service for the first year. Much improved over bringing your 200lb chair down to their service center. For the $5,000 price tage, the warranty should be much stronger.

The HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity shiatsu massage chair reclines back so your knees are above your heart. In the zero gravity position the pressure from your body is removed from your spine and evenly distributed across your entire back. The HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity shiatsu massage chair meets this requirement. This is a relaxing position which can be used before and after your massage.

Sanyo is famous for their stereo equipment. However, there is no music in any of the Sanyo massage chairs. Interestingly, neither does Panasonic incorporate any music in their massage chairs. There is only one item brought over from another electronics division which is the Stiffness Detection Sensor. So, technology transfer does exist. The stiffness detection sensor is based on lie detection technology. This sensor detects stress points throughout your back. The stiffness detection sensor gauges fatigue by monitoring changes in your perspiration and pulse rate.

Image that as you move on the chair, the chair adjusts the massage to where your body is now positioned. Sanyo has a Physical Shape Sensor that adjusts the massage rollers to your body shape. These smart rollers adjust as your body shifts during the massage. If you are a bit squeamish about massage, this feature will follow your every move.

What if a massage chair could literally “reach out” and touch you? The Sanyo HEC-DR7700K can massage you in 3 dimensions. The exclusive GK rollers come over the top of your neck and shoulders. This innovative shiatsu massage recliner offers the first 3 dimensional massage functions. Your neck and shoulders will feel very relieved. Congratulations in breaking new ground into the 3 dimension robotic massage chair!

The massage makes or breaks any shiatsu massage chair. The Sanyo DR7700K has a variety of massage therapies. 5 automatic massage courses, 4 full body automatic courses and a total combination of 83 combination manual massage courses. Manual massage techniques include Grip, Shiatsu, Kneading, Tapping, Kneading & Tapping and various stretches. Need anything more? How about some 3 dimensional massage with Sanyo’s jointed massage head unit. This mechanism pushes outward and strongly grips your shoulders from above. This is solid technology in Sanyo’s flagship shiatsu massage chair recliner.

Hawaiian Massage Chair Therapy Provides Back Pain Relief

Did you know that 4 out of 5 people will suffer from back pain? That is 80% of the population. Our backs take a beating and pain and discomfort is the result. Of the 4 people only half will actually seek treatment. The other half will live with the discomfort. If that half only knew that Hawaiian massage therapy is a great way to get relief, they might be more tempted to actually get help.

Hawaiian Lomi massage means “Loving Hands” to represent working gently, yet deeply to relieve those problem areas. The Lomi Lomi massage is a holistic massage used throughout the entire body, but it is particularly effective up and down the spine. The Lomi Lomi massage originated with the ancient Polynesians and then was further developed by the master healers of Hawaii.

The shamans of the ancient Polynesions viewed the body as having an energy. They theorized that energy flowed through the body. According to their system, they say problems in the body as where the energy was blocked. They began to develop a cause and effect logic for human healing. They began to correlate certain techniques with a given set of effects. They were able to deduce where energy was blocked and then how to manipulate it to flow once again.

The gentle swaying motions of the Hawaiian massage set it apart from other techniques. These rhythmic movements help to reduce the tightness of muscles. Muscles become tight when used, so loosening the muscles helps to restore their elasticity and flexibility. These massage therapy also uses elements of deep tissue. Deep tissue is used to relieve the whole muscle down to the bone, not just the surface areas. Firm pressure is used to penetrate through the muscles.

Hawaiian massage techniques are now being integrated into the best massage chair brands like Panasonic and Omega. Panasonic has developed software programs that replicate the key techniques of Hawaiian massage. You can find one-touch massage buttons just for this specialized therapy technique. Other companies like Omega have integrated some of the more effective movements like the gentle swaying motion. Omega also includes stretching or lower body traction in its recliners to help the stretching and loosening of tight muscles for great relief.

Massage chairs have made so many incredible advances. Who would have thought you could get a Hawaiian massage? These advanced recliners have a variety of massage therapies to choose from for whole body relief. If you suffer from back pain, then maybe the Hawaiian massage technique is right for you. Consult your care provider. Let a massage chair soothe your aches and pains with a relieving Hawaiian style massage.
