People have been getting massage therapy for centuries. Many civilizations developed massage techniques to help relieve tired muscles, induce relaxation and improve general health. These massage therapy secrets were passed on from generation to generation. They have developed different massage therapy schools with different approaches and benefits when performing massage. Massage chairs have integrated many of these techniques to deliver effective massage therapy. Let us take a look at the 5 best massage therapies offered in today's best massage chairs.

Swedish Massage: Swedish massage is one of the most common massage therapies found in spas throughout the world. The Swedish technique uses longer strokes, kneading and gentle pressure on the superficial layers of the muscles. Swedish also involves the use of heat and stretching. There are functions in the massage chair that include heating elements and even stretching the lower body. The premier massage chair recliners incorporate these features into their chairs to provide a realistic and soothing Swedish massage.

Kneading Massage: The kneading technique comes as a by product of the making dough for baking. This massage technique is used to loosen and relieve tight muscles. The kneading is a pinching movement with a longer stroke. These actions ease sore muscles by elongating and stretching them in small strokes. This helps to work out knots and other tightly bound muscle areas. Kneading also enhances the blood circulation and flow.

Neuromuscular Massage: If you train or work out a lot, a neuromuscular massage can be a great relief. In training muscles spasms can occur when the muscles lack sufficient blood flow. This causes the muscle tissues to become sore due to lactic acid build up. The key with neuromuscular massage is to disperse the lactic acid. This technique applies continuous pressure while massaging to encourage proper blood flow. As the lactic acid is dispersed, oxygen is able to be resupplied to the deficient area.

Reflexology Massage: Reflexology uses certain areas of the feet and hands to help to relax major body organs. When the body comes under stress, it mobilizes the hands and feet for action. The major organs support the hands and feet. Reflexology massage seeks to reverse the tension to relieve it and the major organs. The Sanyo massage chair has incorporated the use of reflexology points to stimulate relaxation in the major organs. The Sanyo chair uses an air compression system to gentle squeeze the feet and then has reflexology nodes to induce full body relaxation.

Acupressure Massage: Acupressure comes from the ancient healing art of acupuncture. Acupressure bypasses needles for firm pressure. There are about 350 acupressure points in the body and almost 100 in the back, should and neck. The acupressure massage targets your main trigger points. Firm pressure is used to stimulate these points by penetrating deeply. This helps to release blocked energy within the body and to restore balance and harmony.

There are many massage therapy techniques offered in the massage chairs of today. The variety is tremendous and there is a massage therapy for practically every need. Science and technology have come together to bring you the best massage therapies developed over the centuries. These are no available on demand in the comfort of your home with a massage chair recliner.
