The late 1980's is when the massage chair first came to be noticed in the massage world. The purpose of the chair was to help relieve stress, tension and back pain.
The chair did not enjoy popularity at first, but soon became useful in imitating the Shiatsu and Swedish massage methods. The chair's main parts are the motors, nodes and rollers and the ability to adjust for weight, height, and width of the user.
The massage chair motors are essential. They provide the power that moves he nodes and rollers as well as allow the seat back to be adjusted. The nodes and rollers vary in size and shape and are designed to emulate the therapist's fingers and hands.
Large rollers and nodes provide a more generalized massage experience. Chairs that have smaller nodes and rollers target specific areas of the user's back and can move to adjust to where he user needs the massage. There are those chairs that are computer assisted to give a more adjustable massage to the user.

Quick Facts About Massage Therapy
Acupressure
Acupressure is acupuncture without needles. That is, it uses the same model as acupressure to understand the body, imagining a network of key points with the power to relieve tension. Acupuncture tries to manipulate these points with needles, whereas acupressure uses massage-like pressure from the hands.
Compared to other forms of massage, acupressure can be distinguished by its whole-body approach. A problem experienced in one part of the body will not necessarily be cured by acupressure applied to that body part. Instead, the therapist will use her knowledge of the acupressure network in the body to choose a part of the body to work on to solve the problem experienced.
