I have tried a few massage chairs in my life, and overall I have not been impressed. It feels good, but key areas are missed unless I squirm around in the chair, or there is some irritating repeating pattern. And lets face it, a half-baked massage is worse than no massage at all! Then I tried an Omega massage chair. Their massage chair attitude is that a “massage chair should give you a thorough and strong massage, PERIOD!” Basically, a massage chair should fulfill its purpose and live up to its name. Omega message chairs are known for having one of the strongest massages on the market and is the cornerstone of their brand.

All Omega Massage chairs offer the wonderful benefits a s Shiatsu style message as well as the added benefit of Air Massage Technology (AMT). So what does that mean? Shiatsu message therapy originated through the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). One focus of TCM is to prevent illness and injuries through specific pressure points located throughout the body. Originally this was done through acupuncture, and though TCM has become more popular in the US, many Americans prefer acupressure (or Shiatsu massage therapy) over acupuncture (must be a fear of needles, though I did try acupuncture one in China, and there was no pain upon needle insertion!). There are more than 350 of these pressure points in the human body, and each is aligned with certain internal organs which are located along invisible energy lines called meridians. When pressure is applied to a point along a certain meridian, it releases stuck energy or encourages blood and fluid flow through that area. Omega massage chairs mimics acupressure by stimulating the pressure points through a variety of kneading, tapping, rolling and squeezing.

The other type of massage that Omega massage chairs offer is called Air Massage Technology (AMT). AMT technology is relatively new and uses air bags located in the back, seat and leg area of the massage chair. When you activate the Total Body Air Massage feature, the air bags inflate to squeeze and release your muscles for a very relaxing massage. It is similar to when a massage therapist will grab your muscle, hold and squeeze and then release the muscle. This helps to ease most of the tension in the muscle, resulting in a more relaxed body. This allows the Shiatsu massage to be more effective.

Another cool feature of Omega Massage chairs is their reflexology technology. This technology is incorporated with the airbags in the foot wells, truly allowing total body relaxation and rejuvenation from head to toe!

Everyone can benefit from a massage, and going and getting one from a massage therapist, or a visit to a spa to be pampered is a real treat for anyone, and all should occasionally indulge. But for a regular massage to help you deal with the day to day stress of life, you can’t beat an Omega massage chair. You can’t beat the convenience of an excellent massage in you home at anytime, no appointment necessary!
