Did you know that a good belly laugh can
give you the same benefits as an aerobic workout??? It's true,

who or where that was escapes me just now. **
Additionaly, laughter boosts the immune
system, and lessens pain. Laughing also reduces stress, lowers
blood pressure and has a beneficial effect on our overall
well being. Plus, it's absolutely free!

Shiatsu Massage and Its Benefits
Shiatsu is a Japanese word: "shi" meaning
finger, and "atsu" meaning pressure. But shiatsu is more than
acupressure. It is a combination of many different techniques,
including pressing, hooking, sweeping, shaking, rotating,
grasping, vibrating, patting, plucking, lifting, pinching,
rolling, brushing, and, in one school developed by Suzuki
Yamamoto, barefoot shiatsu, which includes walking on the
person's back, legs, and feet. In the practice of shiatsu, each person
is primarily responsible for his or her own health and well-being. This contrasts with the Western belief that
the medical practitioner is principally responsible for our
health. In Western medicine an awareness of the unique significance
of touch, the essential form of communication between two
human beings in the fight to subdue pain, has all but disappeared;
certainly it has become minimal. Ironically, in all times
and all cultures, the importance of touch, just touch itself,
has been acknowledged as a primary means to mitigate pain.
In the hurried rounds of the Western clinical physician checking
hospital charts at the end of the day, alas, it has nearly
completely disappeared. Shiatsu strengthens the immune system and, if practiced consistently, truly becomes
preventive health care. Who can benefit from shiatsu? Early
on, George Balanchine, Ivan Nagy, Martha Graham, and many
other dancers took regular shiatsu sessions to relieve their
pains and restore and maintain their vitality. It is well
known that Liza Minnelli and Henry Kissinger have received
shiatsu treatments to promote and maintain good health. Now you can take advantage of this marvelous
treatment whenever you like in the privacy of your own home.
Our various models of shiatsu massage
chairs electronically replicate the touch and pressure of
a shiatsu master. Computer assisted research has made the
ultimate in massages available to everyone.
The reason Popular's chairs offers the best massage functions,
is that they have manufactured massage chairs for over 18
years. Massage
and your Health & Well BeingThe nervous system controls and coordinates
all organs and structures of the human body. Irritation on
any nerve will affect one or more of the body's functions.
The most critical part of the nervous system is the spine.
Any type of stress, mental or physical,
caused by injury, strains, sprains, muscle spasms, or disease will affect one or more of the body's functions, whether voluntarily
or involuntarily. Once the nerves in our bodies leave the
spinal column, they travel through canals in the tissue. If
there is any pressure on these canals, whether created by
inflammation, swelling or misalignment of vertebra, the nerves
will send out a signal in the form of pain to alert the body
of a malfunction. Popular's Massage chairs are designed to
reduce these pressures by combining nature's simplest forms
of therapy into one very effective system. If you suffer from
virtually any form of pain or stress,
stretching out on your revolutionary Popular Massage Chair
can be one of the best things you'll ever do for yourself.

Your
Amazing Lymphatic System
The predominant fluid in your body is lymphatic
fluid. This fluid carries nutrients from the food you eat
and oxygen from the air you breathe. It also carries toxic
poisons, bacteria, cholesterol and viruses away from the cells
in your body. Since there is no pump (like the heart for blood)
to push this fluid through the body, it is only moved by deep
breathing, stretching, vigorous exercise, gravitational force
and massage. Manual
lymph drainage improves the flow of lymphatic fluid by
using light, rhythmic strokes. Circulation massage therapy
has been found to be the most efficient method of stimulating
lymphatic circulation. The pulsating action of circulation
massage therapy causes the millions of one-way valves that
regulate the flow of fluid to open and close thus allowing
a healthy surge of lymphatic fluid throughout the entire body.
Manual lymph drainage is primarily used for conditions related
to poor lymph flow, such as edema, inflammation, and neuropathies.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be one of the most healthy
massage benefits. Repeated circulation therapy thus creates
a continuous flow of lymphatic fluid nourishing and cleansing
your cells that literally flush your system of harmful wastes
and poisons while increasing your resistance to sickness and
disease. If you have any stress, either mental or physical,
you are going to have areas of restricted lymphatic flow.
Lymphatic fluid is vital to the life process, bathing all
the cells, it acts as a medium of exchange; trading food for
the cells for the waste products. This waste contains microorganisms,
damaged cells, and protein molecules that are too large or
too toxic to go directly into the blood stream through the
capillary walls. When the lymphatic system slows down,
these waste products accumulate and stagnate which causes
the heavy feeling in your limbs and the overall fatigue experienced
in a sedentary life style. Receiving Lymphatic Drainage Massage
can provide relaxation, increase the removal of toxins to
promote health and can be of great benefit for post-operative
recovery, to persons suffering from edema and anyone with
recurrent sinusitis, allergies or seasonal stuffiness. In today's fast-paced world, we face high
levels of stress every day. Many of us drive long distances,
sit hunched over our desks and computers and just can't find
enough time to exercise. As a result, we suffer increasing
tension and pain from our necks to our lower backs. For centuries,
relief has been found through massage methods such as Shiatsu,
a healing art originating in Japan from traditional Chinese
Medicine techniques. Shiatsu is a Japanese word--"shi" means
finger and "atsu" means pressure. Shiatsu is a Japanese word: "shi" meaning

as it relates to our massage chairs: "Shiatsu is the Japanese
style of pressure point, no oil massage. You don't even undress!
Direct thumb, palm, forearm, or, for large and muscular backs,
even knees systematically pressing into the best release point
for each one of your tight muscles.
