Massage chairs relieve diseases: physical fatigue, joint pain, emotional stress and circulatory disorders. Armchairs are used in offices to increase the efficiency of employees. And at home to relieve exhaustion and maintain health. The massage chair is a powerful source of energy.
When we formed this rating of massage chairs, we focused on unique functions. So the German company Casada has taken the best positions with an anti-stress systemBraintronics.
Braintronics works like this - you turn on the application, put on your headphones and no more effort, just relaxation. The Braintronics system itself will relax your mind, and the chair will simultaneously massage to the sound. Through the headphones, the program delivers binaural sounds at different frequencies to the right and left ears, this directs the brain waves from the excited state (beta waves) to the frequencies of complete relaxation (theta waves) and gradually automatically puts you into a state of meditative sleep, and then gently awakens . For 21 minutes, a person gets the effect of a three-hour sleep.

Massage Chair Tips
In order not to be mistaken with the purchase of a massage chair, follow these three tips:
Consult a doctor. Massage is contraindicated in skin diseases, cardiovascular and renal failure, and much more. The doctor will warn against negative effects and offer alternatives.
Learn the characteristics. For the greatest comfort, choose equipment with a variety of types of massage, automatic programs and functions. Suddenly, a vibrational massage that is disgusting to you - the only one in the chair?
Learn Warranty and Service. A five-year warranty and fast after-sales service indicates the reliability of the manufacturer. If the company gives a one-year guarantee for an expensive chair, it fears a return of goods.
