Professional and Home Massage Supplies

When you think of a top quality massage lounger, the first brand that comes to mind for you is likely to be Panasonic. And that is no coincidence; Panasonic has been making luxurious consumer model massage chair loungers for as long as just about anybody. And as you might expect, that experience has paid off.

The current line of Panasonic massage chairs, and especially this Swedeatsu model, is like a soft friendly hand that you rest your whole body into and just disappear. The massaging action is so smooth and gentle that you can forget that the chair is not a part of your body. It is as though the massage is coming from within you. To know this home massager is to know relaxation and to truly experience the benefits of home massage therapy. Now usually the problem with these home models is that you are either paying much more than you would like to pay, or you are getting much lower quality that you would see in a professional machine. That is not the case here. I think you will find that Panasonic has really struck a balance between intense massage pleasure, durability, and attractiveness.

The Human Touch iJoy line of massage therapy products has really gained momentum since its introduction, due to their exceptional quality and ability to deliver therapy-quality massage action.

The iJoy 130 (like the 150 model) provides the same attention to detail and craftsmanship of some of the massage chairs that we’ve seen sell for literally 10 times the price. And people are happy to pay that much for a high quality item they will be able to use for the rest of their lives!

The surface of the chair is an outstanding microsuade that engages your sense of touch without overwhelming it. It is soft and cushiony, a nice constrast to the firm hand with which the chair massages.

The Zero Gravity reclining massage chair offers a great at-home or office massage experience at an extremely reasonable cost. The value of these chairs, given the build quality and the excellent materials that are used, is fairly unbelievable if you ask me. The first time I ever sat in a Zero Gravity massage chair I assumed I was sitting in an absolute top-of-the-line chair with a price tag to match. I didn’t even ask about it, I just felt sure I couldn’t afford to have one. I could hardly have been more wrong. And now, four years later, my own Zero Gravity reclining chair is still going strong! This type of chair is definitely money well spent if you enjoy a massage. Once you are able to have one regularly, you’ll never be able to go back.

You’ll find here plenty of listings on different varieties of these great chairs and keep in mind that these are coming from different sellers so if you shop around you can get an outstanding deal. On top of that, you may be able to find a used, refurbished, or closeout model for less than retail. These deals are changing all the time so if you find a good one jump on it, and if you don’t then come back tomorrow. (more…)

The vending massage chair is a very curious animal indeed, but has proven to be surprisingly lucrative! I have been surprised to see these chairs popping up all over the place, and they usually have some happy customer sitting there feeding bills into them. The vending massage chair is a massage therapy chair that sits in a public location and accepts money in exchange for a timed massage session. You know that everyone who walks by a massage chair in a store that sells them has to sit down for a few minutes to enjoy the relaxing feeling. Well, it turns out that this works the same when it is a vending chair. Massage is something that just cannot be denied, and usually the nominal charge of the chair adds up to big profits for the chair’s owner.

I should add also that this type of chair can go in a variety of different locations, with retail spots being only the beginning. Your creativitiy is really the limit. I would especially recommend placing something like this in a waiting room for any type of salon, in a gym, or even in a lounge or bar. You will be surprised to see your patrons flock to the relaxing massage chair, to your financial benefit!

Don’t miss out on these great deals, they are changing all the time.

Well you know they say you can change the world with a Dolphin massage chair, and I am inclined to believe it! These chairs are some of the most useful and configurable little marvels in the modern world. They really adapt to the way you want to perform massage therapy. It’s not just a matter of having a comfy place for someone to sit; the Dolphin chair is designed to hold the body in a variety of therapeutic positions. The materials and craftsmanship are so good that they often sell out for months at a time! I can’t think of any reason why a massage therapist would not be perfectly satisfied with the quality and performance of their Dolphin chairs, and often hear them recommended in professional circles.

Owning a massaging office chair is like having a special little secret that you keep away all to yourself.

You leave that meeting or break room or water cooler and you slip away into your office, only to be immersed in luxury, relaxation, and mental clarity. Nobody has any idea your workday is treating you so well, and they might not believe you if you told them.

The only thing to do is just keep up the pace on your work and enjoy being in a better mood than all your coworkers. It’s hard to express just how much of a different a massage office chair can make, but if you are a massage fan you will be impressed.
Many find that this type of chair can really improve their productivity as well. It makes you want to sink into that desk and enjoy a long a fruitful work day. (more…)

The Ogawa massage chair provides a curiously authentic massage experience. You feel the massaging element digging deep into your muscles and at first you resist. You can’t hold out for long, but you aren’t sure if you’ll be able to let go. And then it happens. You give in and enjoy the Ogawa chair massage, letting it rock your world inside and out. The therapeutic aspect of this type of chair is evident while you’re sitting there relaxing and enjoying the motion, but it is truly when you stand up that real value becomes clear. (more…)

Inada is one of the lesser-known brands of massage chair, and I consider this fairly unfortunate because I really feel like they have a lot to offer. The build quality tends to be above average, and the materials are of an extremely high quality. Siting in a Inada massage therapy chair is very much like the experience of sitting and staring off into the starry night sky. You really become absorbed in the softness and the possibility. It is a luxury that few people allow themselves, and one which says to you at the end of a long day that you have arrived. (more…)

The Human Touch massage chair is one that I have a special soft spot for because there really is something personable and joyous about the massage it gives you. It is actually a little hard to describe, but you will know when you feel it. If you have already tried out one of these chairs in a store, you are no doubt here to buy Human Touch massage chairs cheap, and not to think about buying one because you know doubt know that it is for you. And there is no way I could blame you for it; you won’t regret your decision.

One of the nicest brands of massage chair is the classic, Panasonic. These chairs have come a long way over the years and really haven’t changed very much. They are highly reliable, built to last, and do the job right. Some of the newer models are also very stylish, and all are very very comfortable. If you’re wanting a home massage, there is practically no reason to spend the money on a private masseuse these days, you can just buy a great lounger and enjoy therapeutic massage any time that you are ready for it.

One of the biggest and most widely respected names in the industry, and for a very good reason. Sanyo has been making premium quality massage chairs for a very long time now, and they have consistently been top performers. Comfort, effectiveness, and style are all important features to look for in a massage chair, and you also want to pay attention to the value you are getting. You can get any type of chair for massage but in the end the one you get is the one you are likely to have for a very long time, so you must invest wisely. Otherwise, you may regret it. These massage chairs are virtually guaranteed to please, because they come backed by a solid company like Sanyo.

If you’re looking for massage on the go, then what you are looking for is a good quality high end portable massage chair. In my opinion the quality of these chairs has improved quite a bit over the years, and a chair you buy today is likely to provide you with many many years of service. You have to think of a portable massage chair not only as a device that you will use but as an investment in yourself, your business, and the people who rely on you. This is because the dynamics of a massage chair have to be exactly medically balanced in order to align with the bodies of a diverse clientele. That is what you are ultimately buying in a portable chair, not just the actual thing but also all of the research and craftsmanship that has gone into it.

The Ijoy massage chair is currently one of the most popular brands of massage chair in the world. More people are becoming interested in them every day and it is because largely of the word of mouth that they are accruing. This is based on their really modern and impressive features and just all around expert craftsmanship. You can definitely buy a cheaper massage chair than the Ijoy, but some would argue than you cannot get a better chair than one of these. In the end you have to buy the chair that you are comfortable with and confident in; it is a fairly substantial investment and so you should think more than just once about the brand and quality that you can afford to spend on. In the end, this decision will certainly come back to you each time you use the chair.

One of the things that can really help to turn a home massage into a professional massage experience is a good high quality massage oil.

By using a quality oil you reduce the friction between hands and muscles and allows for a smoother working over of all of the muscles. This produces a profound release of muscular tension because they can be slid up against the joint and tendons instead of stiffly pushed around. You also have less risk when you use a good massage oil for the same reason.

These deals are constantly refreshed, so do not be afraid to come back to look again if you do not find exactly the product you are looking for. However, be sure to look at the details of the products here as they may be a better fit for you than you think at first. (more…)

When you don’t have the time or money to go out for regular massage therapy, a massage chair can be the next best thing. I know you may remember trying out a massaging chair when they first came out in the 1970s, but I assure you that they have come a very long way since then.

Some of the nicer and more modern chairs can, believe it or not, actually rival the therapeutic benefit of a live human masseuse. You really have to feel this to believe it, and fortunately you can now experience this type of home massage at surprisingly affordable prices.

The important thing is to aim for quality; it does you no good to buy a discount massage chair because the quality of the massage will not be as good as with a premium one. It is an expenditure that you only have to make once every five or ten years so you may as well splurge on your own health and well-being.

The deals you see here will not last for long, so when you find one that interests you I would recommend that you not hesitate! However, this page is updated constantly as new listings are added, so you are sure to find what you are looking for. Click through any of the images for more details!

One of the things that we’ve found increases overall comfort in the Chicago massage therapy situation is a greater familiarity with massage therapy practices. It is often very pleasurable and educational to work together with a massage partner, rubbing each other and building up your knowledge of the human body and musculature and also getting a better sense for what you enjoy when you are receiving a massage in Chicago.

A quick search for reviews of massage parlors in Chicago will reveal that there are a very large number of massage parlors of various shapes, sizes, and specialties spread around the Chicago area. However, it can be extremely difficult to find reliable reviews of the massage services available within and around the city. It is difficult to say why this may be.

General Massage Therapy Reviews vs. Chicago Massage Therapy Reviews

There are a number of sites that offer customer reviews in general that have sections for Chicago massage therapists, but often these are just a tiny portion of what the sites offer rather than a central focus. That is actually precisely the reason that Chicago Massagerie was born, out of the necessity for reliable and informed opinions about the massage artists that you can find in this city so that you will be able to select the venue that is most convenient based on your location within the city of Chicago, Illinois and also based on your preferences for massage.

For example, you might be looking for an Oriental massage in Chicago but feel uncertain about Asian massage parlor etiquette or about the types of services that it would be appropriate for you to ask for or expect at a particular parlor. Maybe you’re just looking to hear about some Chicago Asian massage parlor stories, to see what other people have experienced in certain parlors in your area.

Post Your Chicago Massage Therapy Trip Reports

So one of the main purposes, if not the main purpose, of this site is to provide ready access to that type of massage story or “trip report” so that you can know what to expect and also just to have some interested reading material available about something that you enjoy. We would also love to see our readers contribute their stories about the Chicago massages that they have had, whether they have been exactly what you were looking for, total disasters, or anywhere in between. That way we will have an entire community set up around Chicago massage parlor experiences and descriptions of services and styles and qualities so that everyone will benefit.

Please be sure to keep your eye on this page and the rest of the site for growing numbers of high quality reviews of Chicago massage parlors that will give you a good idea about what to expect in your neighborhood or suburb and know where to go to get what you’re looking for. This is a huge city with more options available than you could possibly try, so there is no reason why you should have to blindly spend your money on the uncertain hopes of getting what you are hoping for when Chicagoans can all pool their resources and come together with some really fantastic massage stories and reviews.

Massage Therapy: Chicago Has Something For Everyone

I really don’t think that we will ever be able to point to a single business and say “This is the best Chicago massage parlor” because it is a matter of taste and everyone is looking for a different type of experience. So our entire goal is just to help everyone find what they’re looking for, not what’s “right” for everyone but just what best fits your own needs and wants.

You can begin by posting a brief account of an experience you’ve had or a request for the type of information you are looking for in the comment section below. If you have something longer that you would like to post, like if you want to write a full review of a massage parlor that you have had an experience with, or if you would like to place an advertisement for a massage parlor that you are responsible for, please visit our contact page for instructions on getting in touch with us so that we can share Chicago massage parlor information and come to an agreement about what will appear on the site.
