subject: Improving Your Massage Business Through Electronic Massaging Chairs [print this page] The pillars of ideal massage sessions include properly assembled and dependable equipments, and a comforting area that warrants safety and advocates high sanitary measures. Most of the equipment used in a massage therapy is designed to make the client comfortable, but also influences how much access massage therapists can have over their clients' bodies. Massage table, which is said to be the primary equipment used in massaging, holds clients in a very relaxed position, partnered with other massage accessories to further support the bodies of clients. Massage mats, massage cushions as well as massaging chairs are practical alternatives that massaging businesses could incorporate in their practice, with the latter being the newest addition to the many massaging equipments in the market today.
Professionals have differing perspectives as to what massage equipments and environment are the best to facilitate massage sessions. However, if you would notice, the equipments and supplies that one needs in order to run a massaging business is very abundant and is available in a huge range of prices, sizes, appearance, durability, types of construction and maintenance requirements. For you to be able to sustain and strengthen your practice, you must focus on providing sufficient client-centered care. Since most clients are not comfortable lying almost naked on a massage table, a massage chair would be a good alternative for you to deliver comfort and relaxation that would encourage them to come back.
Massaging chairs are structured to aid fully clothed clients while in a seating position. Traditional massage seats contain face padded cradles, padded seats and padded platform that supports the chest, shins and arms of clients. They are available in a variety of designs, finishes and weight. However, similar to massaging tables, traditional massage seats could be troublesome due in part to their sizes and shapes rather than their weight.
The primary advantage of traditional massage chair over other massaging equipments could be derived from its portability, allow you to use it anywhere that you desire. It is very efficient in terms of space accumulation and because many clients prefer receiving massage therapies fully clothed, such equipment allow fully clothed massaging without any issues in privacy. Hence, you could showcase your massaging business even in public areas like malls, health fairs, business offices and conference halls. Chair massage is also an outstanding means to display your business as you could perform your massage therapies in public where more people would be able to see you.
The main disadvantage associated with traditional massage chair is that access to the bodies of clients is very limited as the structure of the chair is confined to a position that prohibits the manipulation of lower body parts. It is also hard for some therapists to perform certain massage strokes over fully clothed clients as the clothes block the intensity, making it hard to reach some pressure points. However, with the improvements in technology, the limitations posited by traditional massaging seats can now be performed with the use of robotic massaging seats. These highly technological equipments are designed with electronic motors and gears that copy different human touch strokes and intensity.
With the aid of massage seats full access to the bodies of clients can now be achieved even in a variety of positions like seating, lying or reclined. Similar to the traditional ones, robotic massage seats also come in different styles and designs although most of them resemble recliner chairs, as seen from the popularity of massage recliner chairs and zero-gravity massaging seats. Similarly, they also differ in prices and intensity; from cheap units that only have vibrate function display to full intensity shiatsu models that deliver traditional acupressure therapy. By utilizing these electronic equipments not only would you profit more from your business, you would also encourage your clients to undergo massage therapies that are good for their health.
