Those chair massages are usually short, anywhere from five to thirty minutes. Since they are usually outdoors in very public places, thank goodness it’s done through the clothing while you rest face down on a specially designed ergonomic massage chair by a professional practitioner. The massage typically focuses on key tension areas in the back, neck, shoulders and arms. Originally dubbed “on-site massage” since the massage chair is portable and is brought out to the site of where the massage is to be performed. However, this kind of onsite massage service is now more commonly referred to as simply “chair massage” and sometimes as “seated massage”.

So unless you can somehow perform that level of detailed massaging to yourself or you’re like me and have half a dozen beautiful, sophisticated, attractive women capable of intelligent conversation eager to feel you up at any given time, THAT chair will not do you much good. Shoot, you can’t even watch ESPN on that chair with your face in the toilet-seat-shaped cushion you put your face in.

That’s why this website is focused on electric message chairs. Ranging from below $2,000 to a $7,000 massage chairs are not “one size fits all” and after spending that much you wouldn’t want to share it with anyone. Find the massage chair right for your particular needs and we are here to bring you more than enough information to help you make the right choice.
