Chair FAQ
Q: Does the number of massage chair
motors make a difference? Massage Chair FAQ 1
Does the number of motors make a difference? Yes. The more motors a
chair has, the less stress will be placed on each motor.
This helps to extend the life of the machine, by spreading
the workload out over several different motors. Is the number of rollers important? It is important, but
sometimes hard to get a handle on. Some companies count each
individual wheel as a roller, while other companies,
the more honest ones, count each individual moving part as a
roller. If you have one roller arm with eight tiny wheels,
that should be considered one roller, not eight. If a roller
count sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Several companies now have
what is called body scanning technology. Body scanning
technology allows the massage chair to actually customize
its program for each individual. The chair is equipped with
software that allows the roller arms to sense where the
shoulders end and the neck begins. The chair then
automatically adjusts to accommodate different body types.
This body scan technology has existed for a few years, but
has been improved upon recently. For the best results, be
sure to find the massage chair with the most advanced
computer scanning technology. Why Can’t I Find a Leather Massage Chair? There are some high end
leather massage chairs out there, but most companies making
quality massage chairs use synthetic leather instead of the
natural stuff. The reason for this is that massage chairs of
this caliber have tons of moving parts that can generate
heat and also physically stress the upholstery. Natural
leather is not elastic enough to hold up to this kind of
stress, and requires frequent conditioning to prevent drying
and cracking. To reduce maintenance time, and to prolong the
life of the chair, most high-end massage companies use a
quality synthetic leather that needs no conditioning, and
can stand up to any abuse a chair dishes out. What is the difference between air and mechanical massage? Air massage involves a
series of air sacs that expand and compress the muscles of
the calves. These air massage sacs have become very popular,
partly because they are relatively cheap to produce but can
be highly marketable. The problem with air massage is that
it doesn’t provide the kind of deep tissue kneading that a
mechanical massage can. If you’ve ever had your blood
pressure taken, you know what air massage feels like. Is there a lot of assembly on massage chairs? Massage chairs usually
require very little assembly. Some chairs are shipped in two
pieces so that the boxes are more manageable, but assembly
is a five minute process that usually won’t even require
tools. Are massage chairs easy to move? Most quality chairs are
equipped with wheels that make it easy to move chairs from
room to room. How long can I run my chair continuously? Most manufacturers say
that the chairs should be given a rest after about an hour,
to avoid overheating. Most massage programs are less than a
half hour though, and overheating is rarely a problem. Stroke length describes
the distance covered by the mechanisms of the chair. The
longer the stroke length, the higher the massage rollers
will reach on the back and neck area.
Why are some chairs only available online? Some manufacturers distribute their chairs exclusively
online in order to keep costs low. These retailers are able to keep
very low margins, because they have far fewer expenses than a physical
showroom or outlet. Should a good massage chair hurt? A massage chair is supposed to make you feel better, but as with many things in life, "no pain - no gain." A good massage chair acts very much like a real massage therapist, by digging deep into sore muscles. This vigorous movement stimulates blood flow, and gives you the loose, "melting" feeling that many people experience after a good massage. However, all that movement can also make some people feel a bit sore, especially when they first start using their new massage chair. That's why it's so important to purchase a massage chair with adjustable intensity, so that you can minimize that tenderness. The top of the line Premier massage chair from has 6 different settings,
and also comes with two foam pads that make the massage more gentle.
As you begin to use your massage chair on a daily basis, you will
eventually become more conditioned to the process, and any tenderness
will disappear. Do I need a special outlet for my massage chair? No. Most quality massage chairs, like the PHP-2026 from Premier Health Products, do not require any special wiring. However, as with any other electronic device, it is wise to use a surge protector with your new massage chair. Most massage chairs will never break down. This is because massage chairs are actually pretty simple machines when all is said and done. The most common problem with any massage chair is related to the computer board, the "brains" of the chair. Some people choose to install their massage chair without a surge
protector. That can leave your massage chair open to being damaged
by lightning or other electrical anomalies. Do yourself a favor and
buy a $20 surge protector to protect your new investment. You'll thank
yourself later. Is heat an important function of a massage chair? YES! Some people would say that a massage chair without heat isn't a massage chair! Heat helps to relax muscles and keep them flexible. It makes the actions of your massage chair much more effective by allowing the mechanics to dig deeper into muscles. Right now, the only massage chair on the market with a heat feature is the PHP-2026. This new massage chair truly has everything. The PHP-2026 massage chair features a heat element that extends throughout the back pad. When you use this feature, especially in a cold climate, your muscles can be instantly relaxed and soothed in preparation for a luxurious massage.

Patients suffering from fibromyalgia often have trouble sleeping, and are restricted in their daily activities. There is anecdotal evidence that a good massage chair can help to alleviate the pain associated with fibromyalgia, by helping to loosen muscle fibers and increase circulation to connective tissues near the bone. You should always consult your doctor for advice on any medical condition.
There is still no cure for fibromyalgia, but massage chairs may be
able to provide some relief from the day to day aches associated with
this condition. Do you offer financing on your massage chairs? Yes! We now offer a great financing program for all of our Premier massage chairs! We now offer 0% interest, with no payments for 1 Full Year!!! That means you can start feeling better right away, and pay only
