Customizing Your Massage

If your chair allows, customize the settings to target specific areas of your body or adjust the intensity of the massage. This is particularly useful for focusing on areas of tension or pain.

Duration of Massage

Most chairs have a default massage time, but this can usually be adjusted. A typical massage session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. It’s advisable not to use the massage chair for too long in one sitting to avoid muscle soreness.

Safety First

Always ensure that small children and pets are kept away from the massage chair, especially when it is in operation.

Start Slowly and Listen to Your Body

Begin with short, low-intensity sessions when you first use your massage chair. This helps your body get used to the chair’s movements and pressure. As you get more comfortable, you can slowly increase the time and intensity of your sessions. Pay attention to how your body feels during and after each session. If you feel pain, discomfort, or strange feelings, stop using the chair right away. Talk to a healthcare professional.
