A chair massage is best for people who want a quick massage that focuses on your neck, shoulders, and back. A chair massage can also be a way to introduce you to massage if you’ve never had one before. Chair massage also helps to relieve stress and promote relaxation. This type of massage uses light to medium pressure.
During the massage, you’ll remain fully clothed and sit in a specially designed chair. You’ll straddle the chair so that your chest pushes into the back of the chair, allowing the massage therapist to have access to your back.
NB: A chair massage is a great option if you’re short on time. This type of massage is also a good option if you’re new to massage. These massages are usually 20–45 minutes.
Massage may be a way for you to feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Always communicate your expectations and intentions with your massage therapist and speak up if there is something with which you aren’t comfortable. As a California licensed massage therapist, I will advise that you talk to your doctor before getting any type of massage if you have any health concerns or conditions.
