Massage has been proven to be very beneficial to humans because it can reduce stress, tension and even depression caused by fatigue and a large variety of problems. And because not all people have enough time and money to visit a spa center each time they want to get a massage, robotic/electric massage chairs were invented. These are evidently not the ordinary chairs because they are intentionally created and designed to somehow provide different types of massage techniques that are similar to what professional massage therapists provide. This particular type of massage equipment is also known to be beneficial but it also has some drawbacks. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of using a massage chair.

Massage chairs can be used in almost any time that you want and this is very convenient on your part. This will eliminate the need for you to go to spas and set appointments with the therapist just for you to get a massage. Thus, in the comfort of your own home, you will be able to enjoy a nice and relaxing massage. You can even have it every time you want to. Another advantage is the cost. Because you are going to purchase the chair, you are only going to pay for it one time. Once you have fully paid the massage equipment, you won’t have to think of other cost unless it gets damaged and you will have it repaired. These are basically the main reasons why many people prefer to purchase massage chairs rather than going into spas.

But as mentioned earlier, there are some disadvantages of using this particular massage equipment too. First on the list is when it is used improperly. You might get very excited to use your new massage chair that you did not really pay attention on how to use it properly. So instead of feeling better, your situation became worst. Even when the chair is being transported, it should be handled with utmost care because if not, it may get damaged and malfunction without your knowledge. Also, you have to be aware of what models and brands have defects/safety issues. You have to do a little research first or perhaps consult your doctor before using the massage equipment. And of course, you can just let anybody use the chair because it can possibly transmit infection and illness considering that the face will be on the face cradle. You might want to consider disinfecting it first before you use it.

All these things simply mean that despite of how well a product is introduced to the public, you still have to make sure that using a certain product is really safe including massage chairs. Although you bought a very expensive model, it does not mean that it will be good for you. It can be if you know how to use the product and you are aware of what your body really needs. As long as you have enough knowledge on how to use the product, you have already consulted you doctor and the product doesn’t have any defects/issues, then you are good to go.
