Use our massage chairs as part of your overall strategy, not as a substitute for meidcal treatment if your issues are caused by structural/spinal maladies.
The single most important feature is he quality and smoothness of the roller-mechanism. We highly recommend going with a reputable 4D chair that allows you to control the intensity by body part and extensively in the manual mode. You'll also want to look for a longer SL, SL Flex or Dual-Track that will cover a larger surface area. Many of our better chairs now come with sophisticated Ai systems that will measure your body's mechanics real-time to create a program exactlyl for what you need.

Airbags around the torsoe/hip region will also help greatly with stretch release.
A massage chair will not actually go after the root cause of your pain, but will do wonders to attack the symptoms that often nag us and cause annoying pain. More chronic issues such as herniated disk, spinal stenosis etc may be alleviated, but not fixed. Massage chairs will not cure you, but will definitely help to give you some relief and tension release. We recommend always talking to your Dr before purchasing if you are concerned.
Start with 10-15 minute sessions and begin with the auto programs. It's safe to use our chairs 3-5 days a week. As your tolerance increases, you can begin to increase the intensity and duration.
