Massage recliners have come a long way over the years, from simple vibrating chairs to highly sophisticated massage chairs with heat, music, and various massage therapies. One of the most basic massage techniques is known as Swedish massage or classical massage. 스웨디시 (Swedish) massage is very effective in allowing the body to absorb more oxygen.
Most of us experience stress in our daily lives. We may be under pressure at work, causing us mental stress. Mental stress makes us tense, which means that the muscles do not relax. We may be exercising and doing more physical activity. Muscles become sore and achy after being under stress from exercise. Both physical and mental stress can affect the body.
To help relieve pain, aches, and pain, massage treatments have been developed and practiced over time. Swedish massage is considered one of the most basic massage styles. Swedish massage aims to relieve pain and improve the health of the body. It helps to detoxify the body by increasing cellular metabolism that removes its waste materials.
Swedish massage uses 6 elements that are effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, traction, and vibration. Effleurage uses long, wide strokes that cover many parts of the body. Petrissage uses kneading and squeezing the muscles. Friction or heat helps relax muscles and promote blood flow. Tapotement is the use of a tapping or cutting motion to relax the muscles. Traction is pulling and stretching the arms and legs. The vibration is used to shake and relax the muscles to relieve tension and stimulate the capillaries.
These 6 techniques have been integrated into the best massage recliners on the market today. These massage chairs use different mechanical components to perform these massage techniques. Effleurage is done by rollers on the back of the chair and covers the neck, shoulders, and back. Petrissage is done by rollers moving towards each other in a pinching or kneading motion. Friction is achieved by adding heating elements to the chair to heat areas of the body. The tapotement is performed by the rollers doing a rhythmic tapping action. Traction is used on the lower body by mechanically raising and lowering the footrest to stretch the lower body. The vibration is done by placing vibrating motors in strategic places on the chair.
Not all massage recliners can perform all 6 techniques. All techniques are performed to different degrees and may vary from model to model and manufacturer to manufacturer. The Omega Massage Montage Elite massage chair and the Panasonic Real Pro Elite have the most comprehensive Swedish massage techniques. The Montage Elite is the most complete Swedish because it has full body heat capabilities where the Panasonic Real Pro Elite does not. Try them both and decide for yourself.
Swedish massage has been around since the days of Henrik Ling. Ling would be surprised if the techniques he pioneered have been engineered into today's robotic massage chairs. Many of the same benefits provided by their pioneering efforts can be found in these mechanical masseurs. However, Mr. Ling discovered the real benefits of Swedish massage when it was performed on a routine basis. Sporadic visits to the Spa are not as effective as regular applications. If you are looking for 스웨디시 (Swedish) massage techniques, a massage recliner is a great way to get into a routine.
