Massage has been used for a long time to help relieve aches and pains, muscle stiffness and some joint pain. Like many things, if it’s done properly it can work wonderfully, although you may have trouble massaging your own back, if it’s aching. And it costs money. A professional massage can cost 40 and up and for many people that can be too much to have done on a regular basis.

So what can you do if you’d like the benefits of a massage every week – or even every day – but you can’t afford the regular cost of treatment? Well, there are a number of things you could doOne of the easiest and cheapest over the long term is to invest in one of the growing selection of home massage ‘chairs’, such as the homedics massager from Homedics.

The purpose of massage “chairs” is to give you selectable levels of massage intensity and usually, to add heat to the massage. The different models ,of course have different features, but all the good ones have the concept of zones. There are usually at least a couple of zones of massage, which may be independently switchable and controllable so that you can enjoy the massage in the area where you need it most.

Quality models, like the homedics massager, or Homedics shiatsu massage cushion, offer independently controlled back and shoulder massage. Once you’ve experienced the facility to select the area that gets massaged, just by flicking a button it can be hard to revert to a basic model.

Models with heat output are quite lovely to sink into on a cold winter’s day. Relaxing on a chair that gently warms your back and shoulders combining it with a gentle, de-stressing massage, is a fine way to relax and unwind, after the tension of the day.

You should consult your doctor if you have any health issues, joint, back or heart problems. Massage may not be suitable for everyone.
