Chair massage is similar to table massage in most ways, except that instead of laying on a table, clients fully clothed kneel in a specialized chair equipped with a pad and face cradle to support their head and chest. Most chairs come with extendable armrests for enhanced upper bodywork, and they’re fully adjustable for height and comfort. The goal of using a chair during massage was to increase the client’s relaxation and allow them to remain somewhat upright and aligned in the seated position. This method also allowed for a more of a public atmosphere during the massage itself. Massaging generally begins with the large muscle groups in the upper back and radiates toward the lower back, shoulders, neck and arms. Because large muscle groups support the smaller muscles that are often the sites of pain, it’s an ideal technique. The chair massage is limited to the upper body, however the benefits are similar to full-body table versions and include:
-
stress reduction
-
enhanced circulation
-
increases physical flexibility
-
a more vibrant immune system
-
pain relief
-
deeper sleep
-
improved athletic performance
-
a brighter mood
-
better chronic disease management

Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.
Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.
Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember...you are the medicine.
