What Is A Seated Massage?

 Seated massage therapy is performed when a person sits upright on a chair. This type of massage is usually performed to treat high-stressed areas of the body. A seated massage is also known as chair massage because it is performed on a physical massage chair. 

A seated chair massage is often performed on people who have desk jobs or work long shifts in a seated position. It provides quick relief from stress and helps manage blood pressure, bad headaches and posture problems. 

What Is A Massage Chair?

A seated massage chair is designed in a way that helps take the weight off your spine and makes it easy for the massage therapist to access your head, neck, back, shoulders and arms. The chair is equipped with a pad and a face cradle and is fully adjustable for height and comfort. 

What Happens During A Seated Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy usually starts with the upper back and then radiates towards the lower back, neck and shoulders, followed by the arms. These areas are often the sites of pain, which is why seated chair massage is an ideal technique.

Since the massage can be performed with clothes on, there is usually no use of lotions or oils during this process. An upper body massage usually lasts 10 to 20 minutes, half the time required for a full body massage. 

Benefits Of A Seated Massage

A seated massage can help encourage a proper alignment of the vertebral column. A good posture is optimal for deep relaxation. The massage chair enables you to breathe fully and deeply because the respiratory passages are unrestricted, and the ribcage can move freely. You enter a relaxed state during the massage, and your attention turns inward.

A chair massage also makes it easier for the massage therapist to work on your head, neck, shoulders and back. It also allows the arms, legs and feet to be massaged. A seated massage doesn’t constrict the main points that trigger pain and helps quickly release muscle tension.
