Is a Massage Chair Good for Post Workout Recovery
I am thinking about buying a high end massage chair for my home and I am wondering is a massage chair good for post workout recovery. I have used the ones at the mall before and they feel okay but I am not sure if a professional grade one is worth the several thousand dollars it costs.
I have heard that the newer models have features like zero gravity positioning and air compression for the legs. It sounds like the ultimate way to relax and recover after a long day at the gym or in the office. I am in the US and I am always looking for ways to improve my quality of life and my physical well being.
Do any of you own a massage chair and use it for your recovery? Do you find that it actually helps with muscle soreness and flexibility? Or is it just a luxury item that does not do much for real athletes? I would love to hear your honest opinions before I make such a big purchase.
