Whatever your reasons for purchasing a massage chair, you clearly want to derive the maximum benefit from it and to do this you really do need to think about where you will place it in your home.  One of the main benefits (but there are many more) is the deep feeling of relaxation you can get from a massage treatment.  Perhaps you’ve had a stressful day at work and you arrive home feeling tense and suffering from the stress of the day. Relieving that stress and tension is something you definitely want to do because it will not only make you feel better but your body will respond with a lower heart rate and a general feeling of wellbeing.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. Achieve this and you will:

• Increase your circulation
• Improve the quality of your sleep
• Feel more energetic
• Feel less anxious
• Improve your level of concentration

So where in your house or, apartment would be an ideal setting?  We’ve already said that one of the main benefits of massage is stress removal and relaxation so you should try  to can create the perfect environment that will compliment your chair.  Do you have a spare room or bedroom?  If you have a home office, or study you could perhaps use that.  Ideally, it’s somewhere quiet, preferably with lighting that can be subdued, away from other members of the household.  A good example of one of the latest massage chairs is the Shiatsu 9000 that does not take up a lot of room whilst offering a full back and leg massage so no, you don’t have to build an extension onto your home to buy and use such a chair!

Another thing that helps with the ambience of relaxation is of course, music.  Perhaps there’s a stereo system in the room you’re planning place your chair in, or you could simply put some headphones on and use an MP3 player but, be sure that where ever your music comes from, that it’s the right sort of music!  No heavy metal stuff, just tunes that are soothing and in themselves would normally help to relax you.If you choose well then the time it takes to achieve that perfect state of relaxation will dramatically reduce and so maximise whatever time you’ve allotted to the session. Even as little as 15 minutes will leave you feeling rejuvenated and happier in yourself.

The final part of the equation is you!  Get rid of any tight clothing or even better take everything off and perhaps wrap a dressing gown around you to keep warm.  Don’t forget those toes either, a comfortable pair of moccasins and you’re ready to start your treatment.

Just imagine it, you’re already feeling better in your warm and comfortable dressing gown, you go into the room where your massage chair is and you dim the lights and start your music.  You get onto your chair, choose the massage program you want to run and then pull the recline lever.  The rhythmic motion of the chair’s rollers start to get to work on your back, pressing into muscles that you didn’t realise were aching and then the rollers move round gently relieving the ache in a way that already feels sooooo good.  The gentle sound of perhaps of a cedar, or bamboo flute is dancing a melody in your ears that already has your mind drifting away to that place of total relaxation ....

Some of the words that I've seen used to describe Human Touch's iJoy massage chairs are...

• different,
• bold,
• stylish, and
• ugly.

So if you're looking to "wake up" a room or add something new and different while receiving massages on-demand, an iJoy chair could be just what you need.

Using catchy colors such as red, sage and camel, when I first saw the contemporary designs of iJoy massage chairs, my reaction was wow, those are unique."

Whether you find them attractive or just plain hideous, iJoy massage chairs are without a doubt the "purple cows" in the industry in terms of their design. They definitely stick out from other brands in the industry.

Common iJoy Robotic Massage Chair Features

iJoy's robotic massage system is supposed to replicate a human-like massage.

There are four major professional massage techniques used in each iJoy chair:

• rolling
• kneading
• compression
• percussion

You have the ability to choose a program based on your own personal preferences. Three dimensional movements are utilized to follow the contour of your spine during your massage.

You can choose from one of three different 15 minute programs:

1. Full Back - your entire receives a massage
2. Upper Back - focuses on your upper back
3. Lower Back - concentrates on your lower back

Each session will combine all four major massage techniques (rolling, kneading, compression, percussion).

iJoy Robotic Massage Chair Models

There are plenty of iJoy models to choose from...

• iJoy 100
• iJoy 130
• iJoy 173
• iJoy 170
• iJoy 300
• iJoy 320
• iJoy 550

The iJoy 100 massage chair, 130, 170, and 173 models are basically the same but they vary a little in size and design.

The iJoy 300 includes power reclining and costs a little bit more than other iJoy models (the others are manual recline).

The iJoy 320 is a more expensive model because of an integrated calf and foot massager. A calf and foot massager is sold separately for other iJoy models.

The iJoy 550 allows you to swivel to the right or left.
