Q: If chair massage is for you, then you need to find a good massage chair for your business. But what makes a good chair?
A: If you want a high quality, professional-grade chair that will last for years to come, you will need to spend some money. Get a quality massage magazine, flip through the pages, read the reviews, and then do some online research on some of the best chairs.

You, as a top quality massage therapist, deserve the best chair that you can afford. Your clients, as well, deserve the best chair with safety features and good cushioning.

A good massage chair is light to carry, is stable, has thick cushions, is easy to unfold and set up, and is adjustable to fit a variety of different sized clients.

Your massage chair should be sturdy indoors as well as on the beach, grass, or on a sidewalk. If chair massage is all you do, you could very well set it up on all of these surfaces, depending on where your massage practice takes you.

Positioning your client properly in the chair is very important. Your client needs to be comfortable so he/she can relax his/her muscles naturally so you can work on them. You must be able to tell by feeling muscles whether they are relaxed or tense so you can properly massage the muscles. You will also need to maintain proper body mechanics while performing massage.
