Benefits of Massage Chairs

• A massage chair can have a range of benefits on your health and wellbeing. As well as being a means of generally relaxing your body and mind it can also:
•  Help lower blood pressure - High blood pressure (or hypertension) is when the blood moves through the arteries at a higher pressure than normal, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. Regular massage helps to combat the effects of stress – a leading contributor to high blood pressure – helping to lower blood pressure and maintain the body's natural sense of wellness.
•  Improve blood circulation - The movements of massage cause blood to flush in and out of muscles and joints, increasing the delivery of vital oxygen and nutrients. This process can, in some cases, aid recovery time from injuries and provide the entire body with a greater sense of wellness.
•  Improve lymph flow -The lymphatic system rids the body of wastes such as bacteria, viruses and toxins. Regular massage helps to promote healthy lymph flow by working to reduce fatigue and stress, and stimulating the body to remove potentially damaging waste products, thus maintaining its natural defence system. 
•  Reduce anxiety - Regular massage prompts the body to move from sympathetic activity to parasympathetic activity, enabling the mind to calm and slow down – similar to taking your foot off the accelerator in a car. This respite from intense thought and stress "restarts" the mind and restores a healthy mental state.
• Relieve muscle tension and stiffness - Regular massage stimulates tight muscles, joints and ligaments; improves oxygen-rich blood flow; and helps the body release endorphins to make it feel better.
