Massage Chairs

For seated on-site massage work, massage chairs are ideal. However, they need to be strong enough to withstand the rigors of a high volume of clients - including their different weights and body types.

Therefore, look for a massage chair with a strong, stable and easily adjustable frame. This will allow you to make adjustments to the chair to accommodate clients of all sizes and your body mechanics while you massage.

Massage chairs come in a variety of styles including:

Portable Massage Chairs - allow the massage therapist to take their business and their "magic hands" on the road to their various clients. Portable massage chairs are convenient and easy transport. They are constructed of lightweight aluminum and most models don't weigh over 18-pounds. Many models fold down and slip into a bag or carrying case with rollers (called a porter). Portable massage chairs are as ergonomically correct as standard massage chairs so you're to client's proper body alignment is never threatened when they enjoy the benefits of therapeutic massage from a portable chair.

Another way to take turn your massage business mobile is with a desktop massage chair. Independent massage therapists must adapt to their clients' needs, many of which ask for treatments in the comfort and privacy of their homes. Busy clients may even ask that a massage therapist come to their office to perform treatment. A desktop massage chair will eliminate the need for additional space as they easily attach to desks, tables or almost any flat surface. Desktop massage chairs are also an ideal way to ensure the comfort of your pregnant or wheelchair-bound clients.
