Why should I get the heat and massage add-on?
Good for relaxing muscles
Adding heat and massage helps relax your muscles. This can aid with several ailments including muscular back problems, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s. If you have a bad back a simple massage can help with relaxing the muscles, heat only adds to the benefits and effectiveness of this. MS causes paralysis, muscle spasms and tremors. Using massage and heat features can help relax the muscles causing the spasm and tremors.
Although heat and massages doesn’t cure these disease, it does help as a home remedy to relieve pain. Parkinson’s is a disease that affects the central nervous system and motor responses. Again, this is not a preventative or curative measure, but massage and heat will aid in helping relaxation of the muscles maximising comfort.
Good for circulation
If you have bad circulation, suffer from oedema or have heart problems having heat and massage can help stimulate blood flow. Keeping warm will help your blood reach your extremities and the massage will help stimulate your skin and muscles to help your blood flow more easily through your body.
Good for your joints
If you have arthritis, you’re recovering from a hip or knee replacement or you suffer from sciatica we highly recommend adding heat and massage to your rise and recline chair because it helps aid joint pain. The heat helps the joints from seizing up and the massage feature stimulates blood flow to the joints helping keep them supple.
Extra level of relaxation
Last but not least, these add-on features make your chair even more luxurious. After a long day, treat yourself with a heated massage and relax in ultimate comfort.
