As trainers of professional chair masseurs, we at TouchPro Europe know better than anyone else, that a good massage chair is a true addition to you as a chair masseur. A good massage chair should be sturdily strong, lightweight, easy to fold and easily adjustable for the masseur. As a result, the chair not only provides seating comfort and relaxation for your client, but you as a chair masseur can do your job well with care for your own body and ergonomics.
Check out the benefits of chair massages for companies below. We have been supplying the well-known Stronglite and Earthlite brands for many years and are therefore specialised in servicing these chairs. But we also have good massage chairs available for the chair masseur with a smaller budget, so that everyone can enjoy their work.
Do you have questions about choosing or using a massage chair? Below are the most frequently asked questions. Including tips for professionals such as masseurs, physiotherapists and beauticians.
A massage chair is a specially designed chair on which clients can comfortably sit forward while receiving a massage. Unlike a massage table, the chair is more compact, lightweight and easily foldable, making it ideal for on-site treatments such as in companies or events. The chair supports the body in an ergonomic way, allowing the client to fully relax.
For chair masseurs, the massage chair is an indispensable tool. Thanks to the adjustable parts such as headrest, armrests and seat, the chair can be adapted to different body types. This ensures that, as a masseur, you can always work in the correct posture and prevent complaints caused by an incorrect working position.
Massage chairs are primarily designed for chair masseurs and therapists who want to give short, effective massages in companies, at fairs, events or in wellness environments. They offer comfort to the client and support the masseur to work ergonomically and efficiently.
In addition, massage chairs are also interesting for companies and organisations who offer chair massages to their employees as part of vitality programmes. Regular chair massages help reduce stress, improve concentration and combat physical complaints caused by desk work.
A good massage chair should be sturdy, light and easily adjustable. Consider factors such as:
Weight: the lighter, the easier to carry.
Carrying capacity: A good chair should handle at least 120-150 kg of body weight.
Adjustability: headrest, armrests and seat height should be easily adjustable.
Comfort: Sufficient padding and soft upholstery ensure client relaxation.
In addition, always choose a chair that suits your way of working. If you often give massages on location, a lightweight aluminium chair is ideal. Do you mainly work in a permanent practice? Then a heavier, more robust model may offer more stability and luxury.
A massage chair is more compact, quicker to set up and easier to carry around than a massage table. This makes it ideal for on-site chair massages, such as in the workplace or at events. Moreover, the client does not have to undress, which lowers the threshold for a massage.
For the masseur, the chair offers ergonomic benefits. You have direct access to the client's back, neck and shoulders, which makes this chair perfect for short and targeted treatments. So, compared to a massage table, the chair is less versatile but more practical for specific massages in a mobile setting.
Most massage chairs weigh between 7 and 12 kg. This makes them light enough to be easily transported, but sturdy enough to provide stability during massage. Aluminium models are often lighter than wooden or steel chairs, making them popular among mobile masseurs.
For regular transportation, it is smart to choose a massage chair with a carrier bag on wheels. This prevents you from having to apply too much force and ensures that you can work ergonomically, even on the move.
Maintaining a massage chair is simple. Clean the upholstery regularly with a soft cloth and hygiene product such as the Aysun Wellness Micro pure to remove oils, lotions or sweat residues. Avoid harsh detergents as they can damage the upholstery.
It is also wise to periodically check that the hinges and adjustments work smoothly and are firmly attached. Good maintenance significantly extends the chair's lifespan, giving you years of enjoyment even with intensive use.
Massage covers can also ensure that you can quickly and hygienically change the headrest cover.
At TouchPro Europe, we work with renowned brands such as Stronglite and Earthlite. These brands are known for their quality, durability and ergonomic designs specially developed for professional chair masseurs.
For masseurs with a smaller budget, we also offer high-quality entry-level models. These are often slightly simpler, but still offer sufficient comfort and stability to work safely and pleasantly. So there is always a chair to suit your situation and budget.
Prices of massage chairs range from around €250 to €650 for professional models. The price depends on factors such as brand, material, weight and adjustability. Luxury chairs with extra-thick cushions or high-quality finishes tend to be more expensive, but also offer more comfort and durability.
When buying, remember that a massage chair is an investment that pays for itself quickly. Because chair massages are popular with companies and institutions, professional masseurs can recoup their chair through on-site assignments within just a few months.
Yes, massage chairs are specially designed for mobile use. They are collapsible and compact, making them easy to transport in the car or even on public transport. With a carrying bag or trolley, transport becomes even easier.
More and more companies are opting for chair massages as part of their vitality policy. Employees experience instant relaxation, which reduces stress and increases productivity. Moreover, chair massages are low-threshold because employees can keep their clothes on and the massage usually lasts no longer than 15-20 minutes.
In many cases, it is possible to view the massage chair in advance or request a demonstration. Contact us to discuss the possibilities or to make an appointment in our showroom. We will be happy to help you find the best massage chair for your practice.
