Shiatsu massage seat: how it works and what benefits it offers

Among the most loved and appreciated comforts of recent years, the Shiatsu massage seat is becoming increasingly popular.

Unlike armchairs, which can be large and therefore bulky, the massage seat's strong point is its practicality , being transportable anywhere, at home or in the office, even in the car.

The price varies depending on the model and features , but is far lower than that of larger armchairs.

What are back massage seats for?

These seats imitate the Japanese Shiatsu massage technique, which uses finger pressure to relieve stress, promote blood circulation and rebalance the body's energy.

Furthermore, they offer a complete massage on various areas of the body, including the back, neck and lumbar area: for example, the Komoder back massager uses specific programs and vibrating mechanisms capable of relaxing muscles and relieving pain, improving overall well-being .

What is Shiatsu: advantages and health benefits

Shiatsu is a Japanese manual treatment technique based on pressure with the fingers , from which the name also comes ("Shi" = "Finger" and "Atsu" = "Pressure") and is inspired by traditional Chinese medicine , acting on specific points: according to Chinese tradition, we all have a vital energy ("Qi") that travels within our organism via energy channels called "meridians". The shiatsu technique serves to restore the flow of vital energy , which may be unbalanced, therefore in excess or, on the contrary, lacking.

This type of massage is non-invasive and helps rebalance the body , stimulating relaxation and self-healing: it also helps reduce problems such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, headaches, digestive problems and circulatory disorders.

How Shiatsu massage seats work

Modern massage seats also have several functions, including vibrating and heating effects .

These massagers are generally adjustable via straps to other seats and are also transferable to the car. As in the armchairs, the seats also have rollers that act on the surface of the back, from top to bottom, on the sacral, lumbar or cervical area.

These mechanisms are usually associated with certain intensity levels that can be adjusted via a special button panel or built-in remote control or even remotely via voice control.

Is it worth investing in a Shiatsu massage seat?

The cost of a single treatment can vary from 50 to 120 euros and generally, those who undergo this massage therapy perform a cycle consisting of several sessions.

Those who have the greatest need for this type of massage and do not want to move from home can actually think that investing in a Shiatsu massage seat brings interesting benefits. However, everything depends on the extent of the problem you want to solve.

In short, if the hands of an expert are not necessarily required , the purchase of a chair or a Shiatsu massage device can become a long-lasting and convenient alternative , especially if you want to undergo these massaging pressures repeatedly over time.
