Chair massage is often shorter than traditional table massage, but still has its
benefits. It’s common to see chair massage at events or even parties. If you
find that it suits you better than laying on a table, don’t hesitate to tell
your massage therapist.
Chair massage offers convenient, deep relaxation when done correctly. Sitting in the
chair with your face down exposes the neck and shoulders so that your massage
therapist can target the area. Those who find this position more comfortable
and those who have a greater need for upper body attention are especially fond
of this practice.
The neck and shoulders are where most people hold much of their stress and tension, so the chair position is beneficial in relieving stress quickly. Even a short, 10-minute session can break up tension
in the shoulders and provide instant relief to combat the rest of the day. After
a chair massage, expect to feel relaxed, uplifted, and relived.
