It may seem like a contradiction. How do you save money when you have to spend money? Most people look at massage chairs as luxury items. They certainly are luxury items if you really do not need the massage therapy that they can provide. On the other hand, if you do need the massage therapy that they then massage chairs can save you a significant amount of money. Many people suffer from back pain or other conditions that require medical or chiropractic treatment. We all know that health care costs continue to rise. How do you save money buying a massage chair?
Let us take an example. We go to get our massage at the day spa. First, we need to call them and schedule a time. We are going to have travel time to go and come back from the massage. There is also the total time involved. Massage time is the bonus time the rest of the time can be considered the cost involved. The massage is not free, so we must pay for the time of the massage and a gratuity. If we go 3 times every month, by the end of the year we are spending thousands.

Have you ever gotten a massage at a day spa? If so, then you know that a time needs to be set with the massage therapist. We also need to go to and come back from the day spa. The massage therapist works for a fee. We need to pay the masseuse by the hour and also give a tip. Let us assume we go to the spa once a week for a year, then the massage therapy bill will be thousands of dollars.

With health care costs on the rise, everyone is looking to save money. Health care is looking to automation to help offset expenses. Most industries transition from labor intensive to capital intensive. Now we are seeing the potential of massage therapy transitioning to capital intensive or the use of machines/equipment. With the rise of massage chairs, many massage techniques can be delivered effectively with these chairs. How is money actually saved in this situation?
Let us take an example. We go to get our massage at the day spa. First, we need to call them and schedule a time. We are going to have travel time to go and come back from the massage. There is also the total time involved. Massage time is the bonus time the rest of the time can be considered the cost involved.

This review covers the Montage Premier massage chair which is produced by Omega Massage. Omega is known for its striking designs, advanced features and strong and effective massage therapy. The Montage Premier is Omega’s top of the line for the Omega brand. We will make a review of the features, functions and warranty coverage of this advanced massage chair recliner.
We will first go through the warranty coverage with the Montage Premier massage chair. Omega gives you 5 years protection from defects on the frame. You get 3 years coverage for both parts and labor. Free shipping of parts is provided for the first year of ownership. You also get 90 days of in house technician service. This is certainly comprehensive warranty coverage provided by the manufacturer.
With the warranty coverage out of the way, let us delve into the advanced technological features of the Montage Premier massage chair. The first feature is activated when you start an automatic massage program. The Montage Premier will create a virtual map of your back in the chair computer. Most notably, it will find the location of both your neck and your shoulders. Furthermore, it will identify the key acupressure points located throughout your back. The back has almost 100 acupressure points. The automatic program is then calculated using your precise measurements for an outstanding massage.

Let us take an in-depth look at the Panasonic EP-1273KL shiatsu massage chair. We review its features, warranty and specifications. Panasonic is a Fortune 500 company with multiple product lines in the electronics industry. The EP 1273KL fits into the $2,000 to $3,000 price range or midrange level of massage chairs. We will explain some its advanced features and give our opinion of the Panasonic EP-1273KL shiatsu massage chair.
The massage chair industry is an interesting group of companies. There are giant conglomerates like Panasonic and Sanyo; and others more industry specific like Omega and Human Touch. And like weeds in many gardens, a lot of companies peddling junk which you need to avoid. A good hurdle to pass is to see if the company has retail distribution. With Panasonic there is not need to worry as they will back up their warranty.
