For most of us, daily existence means getting through the sometimes exhausting struggle of day to day activities. With work that needs to be finished, bills to be paid, kids to attend to, a relationship to nurture, we can be weighed down with the stress of it all. Stress - be it physical, mental, psychological or emotional if left unattended to can lead to various ailments including heart diseases and even cancer. Though there is no short-cut to alleviate the source of our stress, we may find simple remedies. Foremost on our list is a massage but then again, whoever has enough time to spend at least an hour a day getting a massage. It is both costly and a bit time consuming. Electric massages are a heaven sent.
Picture yourself working in front of your computer with expert "hands" relieving your neck and back muscles of all that strain.
Electric massagers offer the usual benefits of a regular massage-relaxation and rejuvenation with the added bonus of having it anytime, anywhere even in the comforts of your own home. Electric massagers also come in all shapes and sizes depending on your needs.
? Specific forms of electric massagers include:
? Hand-held massagers that can focus attention on specific areas of the body
? Shoulder and neck massagers that can be attached to your office chair's head rest - you get a massage while working
? Calf and leg massagers that also serve as ottomans so your legs get that tender, loving care and you put your feet up while watching television
? Chair massagers that give you that full body massage you used to have only in the spa
An added bonus to electric massage is that you can customize it according to your needs. The choice of which electric massager to purchase should be based on the following:
? Massage preference and need - if you're the type who indulges on full body massages, then the electric massage chair or bed is for you, but if your complaints are solely your neck and shoulder muscles the hand held or shoulder and neck massagers would suffice.
? Storage - unless you plan to use it the whole day, the size of your electric massager and the location where you would place it- be it in your house or office is important. Having a chair massager the size of a lounge chair would be crowding a studio type apartment or an office cubicle.
? Price - electric massagers can be quite pricey but you have to remember it is just a onetime purchase and you would be able to enjoy countless massages versus per visit/session charges with your regular masseuse.
Whatever type of electric massager you decide to purchase, you can be guaranteed of the benefits of massage therapy at your own convenience at probably half the cost.
