Basic Massage Chair Functions
Massage uses three intricate movements: pressure is applied gently
to a pressure point, it is held, and then is suddenly released.
This massage technique is both relaxing and invigorating
simultaneously. Popular uses modern electronic technology
to analyze the finger movement of a professional massage
therapist in order to develop a way to duplicate it.
The Rolling massage helps to stretch the spine and relieve pressure
on the discs. As four massage wheels roll up and down the
spine stretching, they also help to stimulate spinal nerve
roots and reduce muscular back pain.
The Tapping massage, simply stated, helps to improve your blood circulation.
This increased blood flow has the benefit of reducing muscular
stiffness and enhancing movement of oxygen and other vital
nutrients through the course of the body. After exercise,
this function helps wring muscles free of lactic acid, reducing
the overall stiffness of the region being massaged. Some
massage chair technologies allow as many as five hundred
taps a minute! Sit back and let all the day's stiffness
dissipate.
The Kneading massage advantage is that it both relaxes and invigorates
the body. Kneading massage uses three complex movements.
- Pressure is applied gently to an
trigger point
- The pressure is held allowing tension
to transfer to the roller
- Tension is then released allowing
the pressure to leave the system

Massage Chair Benefits
Stimulating "
pressure
points" with massage or heat triggers the release
of endorphins, which are neuro chemicals that relieve
pain. As a result, pain is blocked and the flow of blood
and oxygen to the affected area is increased. This causes
the muscles to relax and promotes
healing.
Massage focuses on relieving pain and
discomfort as well as on responding to tension before
it develops into "
dis-ease",
that is, before the constrictions and imbalance can
do further damage.
Massage enables the body to relax deeply.
By relieving stress, it strengthens resistance to disease
and promotes wellness.
Massage stimulates the
lymphatic system
and helps hasten the elimination of toxins (e.g., lactic
acid) from the body.
Massage increases the flexibility and
range of motion, reduces inflammation, and increases
joint mobility and is used to relieve and even help
prevent
sports injuries.
Massage improves muscle tone and circulation
and relieves neuromuscular problems.
Massage can help restore
emotional balance by releasing the accumulated tension caused
by repressed feelings.
As massage works a pressure point, the
muscle tension yields to the pressure, enabling the
fibers to elongate and relax, blood to flow freely,
and toxins to be released and eliminated. Increased
circulation also brings more oxygen and other nutrients
to affected areas. This increases the body's resistance
to
illness and promotes a
longer, healthier, more
vital life.
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 Being
The 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.
Popular Massage chairs are the most technologically advanced
massage chairs manufactured in the world. Popular is for
people that want the best! Take a moment to look what other

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.

Here's another definition
of Shiatsu massage 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."
