Shiatsu Chairs and Homedics Massagers for Home Care
Homedics Shiatsu massagers, have become a popular gift for friends and family who suffer from lower back pain and are not mobile enough to get out to weekly acupressure appointments. Although spendy, people who love them insist they are well worth the cost, paying for themselves within weeks of regular use. Acupressure increases blood flow and circulation, balances internal functions, brings a sense of relaxation and releases stress.
The shiatsu chair works much like an actual acupressure appointment. There is a small motor built in the back of the chair, which works the pressure wheels. The wheels move up and down your back, and the controls can be set to concentrate or pause in places where you have the most pain, such as your neck- much like the fingers of a great masseuse. This relaxation technique can alleviate insomnia, which is the primary complaint of pain sufferers. As loss of sleep effects mental and emotional well being, job performance, and interpersonal relationships, and constant neck pain can cause the jaw to tighten, causing headaches and stress on the eyes. A consistent session of massage can make all the difference.
One thought about shopping for the right chair, make sure it fits your body specifications-having to sit in an uncomfortable position in order to make the massage wheels hit the right spot undermines the reason for purchasing the chair in the first place.
Acupressure for back pain relief works; deep massage to release knotted muscles and ease the flow of Chi can help you sleep better and have more energy. If you can't get to regular massage therapist appointments, consider putting one of the homedics shiatsu massagers in your home. Acupressure costs around $30-60 an hour, and most therapists want you to come in twice a week. At those prices, the least expensive chair would permanently take the place of massages equal to 25 visits.
