Do I Need A Special Outlet For My Massage Chair?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 21:29:00 +0000

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.

Should a Good Massage Chair Hurt?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Tue, 30 May 2006 18:42:00 +0000

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 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.

Massage Chairs May be Able to Help Fibromyalgia

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Wed, 24 May 2006 15:44:00 +0000

Fibromyalgia is a condition that effects connective tissues, such as ligaments and tendons, causing severe aches and pains. 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.

Will My New Massage Chair Fit Through My Front Door?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 23:03:00 +0000

No. But you can always keep it on the lawn...
Just kidding! massage chairs are shipped with the arms of the chair in a separate box. Because the arms are shipped separately, the boxes are narrow enough to fit through a standard door frame.

Assembly is easy too. The arms of the massage chair have two pegs that slide easily into slots on the side of the massage chair frame. You don't even need any tools, and the process takes about two minutes. After that, all you have to do is plug your massage chair in, sit back, and enjoy!

Warranties Are A Good Way To Judge Massage Chair Quality

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 22:59:00 +0000

Massage Chair manufacturers that have great warranties generally make good quality products. From the perspective of a manufacturer, you never want your warranty to outlast the life of your product. Most manufacturers make an estimate of how long their chairs will last, and then make a warranty to fit that time frame. That doesn't mean that your massage chair will spontaneously combust on the day that your warranty runs out, but it usually gives an indication of the level of confidence a manufacturer has in their product.

In the massage chair industry, has some of the best warranties of anyone. Their five year warranties on their higher end models attest to the durability and quality of their chairs. When you spend thousands of dollars on a product, you have a right to expect a quality piece of equipment. At the bare minimum, you can expect your product to work perfectly for at least the length of the warranty period.

Also be sure to take note of what a warranty covers. If a warranty offers "structural" coverage, that refers to the metal frame of the chair, the basic foundation. This is a part that will almost never break, and the manufacturer knows that perfectly well. This is an attempt to make the warranty look better by covering a part that will never fail.

Before buying any massage chair, it's wise to do your homework, and warranties are an area that should not be overlooked.

What Happened To The Inversion Massage Chair?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 23:36:00 +0000

Do You Sell Any Refurbished Massage Chairs?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 16:29:00 +0000

No. DiscountMassageChairs.com sells only brand new, high quality massage chairs. Lower end massage chairs from companies like Interactive Health are readily available in refurbished condition, and while these massage chairs may seem like a bargain, they are typically a bad investment.

Refurbished massage chairs are, of course, not in lie new condition. Generally they are chairs that have failed and been returned to the manufacturer. They often do not carry a warranty, and have much higher breakdown rates than new chairs. The fact is, you never know what kind of problems a refurbished chair may have had in the past. It could be something that isn’t easily fixed, or a recurring problem that won’t go away. In any case, you are taking a risk on a chair that has already had some issues, and may have more in the future.

Quality massage chair manufacturers like don’t have a large market for refurbished chairs. Quality massage chairs, like those produced by have such long life spans that they don’t usually show up on the refurbished chair market, or in places like eBay.

Which is Better: A Massage Chair With Air Driven Calf Massage or Mechanical Calf Massage?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:34:00 +0000

Mechanical calf massage will always deliver more effective therapy than air massage alone. However, some air massage systems also incorporate a stretch feature, which adds to the therapeutic benefit of such systems.

Before stretch therapy arrived, air massage was considered to be a low-end feature. Today's stretch therapy however, found on some newer chairs, provides the dual benefit of massage coupled with muscle stretching. This dual action increases circulation to the legs immensely, improving the health of connective tissues and allowing for faster recovery after exercise.

Mechanical massage systems use paddles and rollers to deliver a 3 dimensional massage. This method gets deep into the muscle, manipulating the tissues and providing immense therapeutic benefit. Mechanical calf massage is still the best method available, but the new generation of stretch chairs are giving mechanical massage a run for its money.

Do You Ship Massage Chairs to Canada?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 19:06:00 +0000

Yes! We do ship to Canada!
There is a small additional charge, depending on where in Canada you live, but in most cases it does not exceed US $50 . For most of our chairs, much of the shipping cost is built into the price, so the bulk of the shipping charge is already paid.

Canadian customers will be responsible for both GST and PST fees which are assessed by the Canadian government, and not by our company. The only additional fees that we would collect would be for shipping to your home. Depending on the exact destination, shipping times are generally between seven and twelve business days, only a few days more than our domestic orders.

How Does The RMS-10 Get-A-Way Elite Compare to the PHP-2025?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:19:00 +0000

The RMS-10 Get-A-Way Elite is a good chair that has been on the market, in one form or another, for about four years. It has been re-released under sveral different names and by several different companies, with few improvements. By contrast, the was introduced about 1 1/2 years ago, so the technology used in the is quite a bit more modern.

The biggest difference between the two chairs is price. The RMS-10 Get-A-Way Elite has a suggested retail price of $4,499.00, while the sells for $2,995.00.

The next biggest difference between these two massage chairs is in the stroke length. The has a 30 inch stroke length for full coverage of your back, while the RMS-10 has a 24 inch stroke length, a full six inches shorter. For taller users, that can make for a less complete neck massage, because the rollers won't travel all the way up the back.

The RMS-10 uses air massage in the legs, which involves a series of airbags that squeeze and release the muscles The , on the other hand, features a fully mechanical calf massage. Mechanical calf massage delivers more than just a superficial squeeze, but rather a powerful deep-tissue massage with real therapuetic benefit. The is by far the most advanced massage chair on the market, and the best value too.

Is there any massage chair on the market that offers a heat feature?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 22:49:00 +0000

Yes! The PHP-2026 is the only truly advanced shiatsu massage chair on the market that has a heating element. There are some low-end chairs that offer heat, but these chairs do not provide the therapeutic benefit of a high quality massage chair.

Heat can help to increase the effectiveness of your massage by stimulating circulation and allowing muscles to relax. The PHP-2026 uses integrated heat therapy to loosen muscles and allow for more effective massage. Our clients find that the heat element, even when used on its own, provides a soothing complement to the PHP-2026's legendary massage.

What Is Inversion Therapy on the PHP-2022?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 19:18:00 +0000

Inversion therapy is one of the unique body therapy positions available with the PHP-2022. Inversion therapy stretches the spine and connective tissues, allowing for increased circulation. In inversion mode, the PHP-2022 actually reclines past horizontal so that your head is actually lower than your feet. This allows the spine to expand with the gentle help of gravity. By also massaging your back simultaneously, this massage chair delivers a double benefit.

Inversion mode is the perfect compliment to another one of the PHP-2022's unique body therapy positions, the Zero Gravity mode. Zero Gravity therapy was first developed by NASA in order to take pressure off of astronaut's spines during flight. What makes this therapy such a great compliment to inversion therapy is that, rather than utilizing gravity to stretch the spine like inversion therapy does, Zero Gravity simply puts the spine in a neutral position. Inversion therapy stretches the spine, allowing for better circulation, and then zero gravity allows the spine to relax, making the simultaneous massage program much more effective. When you add it all together, the PHP-2022 Zero Gravity Massage Chair is by far the most advanced massage chair in its price range.

What is the Zero Gravity Therapy Feature on the PHP-2022?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 18:56:00 +0000

Zero Gravity is a biomechanical position that was first developed by NASA for use on the space shuttle. Designed to take pressure off of our hardworking spines, the Zero Gravity position elevates the knees to the level of the heart, and brings the spine parallel to the ground. By eliminating all vertical pressure on the vertebrae, the connective tissues surrounding your spine are able to relax. These tendons and ligaments work hard all day, and the Zero Gravity position allows these important stabalizing muscles to relax and repair themselves.

There are lots of Zero Gravity chairs on the market, but they don't deliver massage; they're just chairs. While the Zero Gravity position is therapeutic in itself, the real secret is in the integrated massage programs. Zero Gravity therapy helps to relax the spine, making massage far more effective. Vertebrae relax and separate, allowing for increased circulation, and as tension disappears, the muscles can be manipulated more effectively.

Sanyo Massage Chair's Stiffness Sensor

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 22:38:00 +0000

We've been getting quite a few calls lately about the Sanyo HEC-SA5000K and its stiffness sensing technology. Although this technology, which integrates a heart rate monitor with the massage, has existed for a few years, Sanyo has been getting a good amount of attention since they started marketing this feature.

The secret is in the heart rate monitor that can be attached to the chair. Here's how it works: as the massage rollers contact an area on your body that is sore or tense, your heart rate increases. This is your body's natural reaction. When this happens, the attached heart rate monitor notices a jump in heart rate and tells the chair to concentrate on that area.

While this sounds like a great feature, in some ways, it can make for a less therapeutic massage. For a massage chair to truly do its job, it needs to be used on every part of the body. Technology like this, if it works like it's supposed to, will focus your massage only on sore or tense areas, neglecting the rest of the body. A good massage program covers all areas of the body, and provides evenly distributed therapy to all muscle groups.

Some chairs, like the PHP-2026, are already compatible with a heart rate monitor.

Which is a better chair? The PHP-2026 Massage Chair or the PHP-2025?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Fri, 20 Jan 2006 22:22:00 +0000

Both the PHP-2025 and the PHP-2026 are great chairs. Lately, we have been recieving a lot of calls asking us to compare these two chairs. The PHP-2025 is of course the newest model from Premier, and so there's been a lot of buzz around it. As much as we love the new PHP-2025, the PHP-2026 is still the king of the massage chair industry. With that said, the PHP-2025 is the best choice for some situations, like when the various users of the chair will have large size differences.

The PHP-2026 is the strongest massage chair on the market today. With a fully mechanical calf massage, Bodyscan technology, and one of the longest stroke lengths in the industry, there's not another chair on the market that can match the power and therepeutic effectiveness of the PHP-2026.

The PHP-2025 also has a 30 inch stroke length and is true to Premier's reputation for strong massage chairs. This chair packs a lot of power and therepeutic capability. One thing that makes the PHP-2025 truly unique is its revolutionary BioFit technology. BioFit allows for custom adjustment of the massage chair's stroke length, making it ideal for households in which users fall into a large range of body sizes. If one user is 5' 3" and the other user is 6' 2", then the PHP-2025 is for you.

What Kind of a Warranty Does the PHP-2026 Massage Chair Have?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 23:10:00 +0000

The PHP-2026 comes with a 5 year parts and labor warranty, among the best in the industry. Such a long warranty is probably not necessary though, because the PHP-2026 has one of the lowest defect rates of any massage chair on the market, less than 1/2 of a percent. That means that fewer than 1 in every two hundred chairs will ever have a problem. Compare that to the industry average of between 3% and 5%, and you can see why Premier has a reputation for reliable products.

In the unlikely event that you did have a problem with your Premier chair, Premier's innovations will still make your life easy. Unlike most massage chair companies that require you to ship the entire chair back to the factory for repair, Premier designs their chairs with a modular service system. If you have a problem with any portion of the chair, the on-board computer will self-diagnose and tell you where the problem lies. With the help of a technician over the phone, the user will remove whatever portion is having a problem, (this requires only a screwdriver and typically takes just a few minutes), and ship just that small piece back to the factory.

Premier goes to great lengths to make sure that their chairs last for years and years. In fact, Premier loses money every time they have to repair their product, so they have a substantial interest in making sure that their chairs withstand the test of time.

Are Massage Chairs Worth The Money?

sales@discountmassagechairs.com (Ben) — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 00:47:00 +0000

Lets take a minute to do the math...
If you took a 1 hour massage every day for the JUST length of the warranty (5 Years)...

365 Days in a Year X 5 Years = 1825
That's 1825 massages from your PHP-2026 before the warranty even runs out...

If we break that number down by price...
$3,000 Dollars / 1825 Massages Over Five Years = $1.64 Per 1 Hour Massage.
In fact, many customers will have two users per household, so if you have 2 massages per day...
1825 X 2 = 3650
$3,000 / 3650 = $0.82

That's 82 cents per massage, before the warranty even runs out! The average massage therapist charges at least 50 dollars per hour... at that rate your chair would pay for itself in just sixty days!
So, you can see, massage chairs are not only a spectacular luxury, they're also a sound investment in your health.
