Many people wonder what the point of dishing out money for their own massage chair is, when you can easily just set up an appointment at the spa. There’s no argument that human touch is almost impossible to emulate, however some massage chair companies have come pretty close. There are dozens of massage chairs on the market that can relax and rejuvenate the mind and body without stepping foot outside the home. So what are the advantages to these massages chairs?

1. Cost: At a first glance, a massage chair may seem pretty expensive. There are models that range from around $1000 all the way up to $6000. But the thing is, it’s no different than spending thousands of dollars on home gym equipment, which we do because over time it pays off, instead of subscribing to a gym. Massage rates can often times be up to $200 an hour. If you’re the type of person who wants/needs regular massages then the onetime fee of buying your own massage chair will end up saving you money in the long run.  But there are other advantages that make the price more than worth it.
2. Convenience: Number one, you never have to go anywhere for a massage and it always works around your schedule! We all lead very busy lives, and it can be incredibly difficult to find time in your schedule to make an appointment with a massage therapist, and even more difficult to find a time that works for both you and your therapist. With your own massage chair, this problem is avoided completely. You can come home after a long day at work, and let the massage chair relieve your tension and stress right from your own living room.
3. Privacy: Let’s face it, not everyone is comfortable letting a stranger put their hands all over them. Especially with the undressing in an environment that is not your own, it can make it difficult for some people to fully relax and feel comfortable, which is important to feel the full effects of a massage. Being in the privacy of one's own home and space can create the relaxing environment you may require to find true relaxation.
4. Quality Massage through Advanced Technology: Today's massage chairs are equipped with high quality and top of the line mechanisms that mimic the shiatsu method of massage therapy. And, not only do these chairs, most often recliners, take care of the back, but can also massage the arms, legs, shoulder and neck. Of course functions will vary by brand and price range you are looking, but the advanced designs of these chairs are astonishing, and give you the ability to have a fully professional grade massage, and achieve the relaxation and stress relief you need.
5. Predictability: Have you ever had a bad massage, or came out of a massage not feeling so relaxed? Sometimes booking an appointment somewhere you end up getting a new therapist, someone who makes you uncomfortable or someone who is either too soft or too hard on you? Having a massage chair you are comfortable with means you will get the same results all the time, and gives you the ability to adjust the settings to get exactly the type of massage you are looking for every time.
