How does a massage chair help the elderly to maintain mobility?

This leads to increased mobility, reduced joint pain, and increased ability to perform daily tasks and general activities such as walking, lifting, and turning.

3.       Regular use of a massage chair helps improve sleep. Many seniors struggle with sleep problems such as insomnia and interrupted sleep. A relaxing massage before bed helps relieve tension and prepare the body for rest. Better sleep brings significant improvement of energy, mood and cognitive functions in the elderly.

The massage chair also helps with mental distress


Massage chairs also offer therapeutic effects on the mental health of the elderly. Many seniors struggle with stress, anxiety, and even depression. A relaxing massage helps relax the mind, reduce tension and improve mood. This brings a feeling of inner peace and contentment, which is especially important in the later years of life.

Massage chairs as equipment for public institutions

Thus, they provide their residents with additional comfort, take care of their well-being and, ultimately, brighten their day with an excellent massage. Among other things, massage chairs are also excellent for all employees - those who mostly sit and those whose way of working causes pain.


How does a massage chair work?


"Massage chairs work with the help of various mechanisms that simulate hand movements and pressure on muscles and skin. A typical massage chair has built-in rollers, air cushions, acupuncture pads, or vibration mechanisms that move over specific parts of the body, such as the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet. These mechanisms perform different massage techniques such as kneading, tapping, rolling, and vibrating depending on the program selected by the user. More advanced models can also have functions of heating, stretching, and adjusting the intensity and location of the massage."
