<p>Massage therapy helps your body to rid itself of built up toxins.  Your first line of defense is the blood to remove toxins.  Your lymphatic system removes toxins that the blood cannont.  Both of these systems can be enhanced with acupressure massage therapy.  Acupressure is a form a massage therapy from ancient Chinese medicine.  It uses firm pressure on specific trigger points in your body to increase blood circulation which helps to remove toxins from your body.  The top massage chair companies now offer acupressure massage therapies to further help the body&#8217;s natural toxin removal systems.</p>
<p>If you ever felt decreases in energy throughout your body, then you may have trigger points which have become blocked.  The energy that normally flows through your body may be decreased leading to a feeling of fatigue.  Acupressure massage therapy targets this particular symptom to help restore balance to your system.  There are hundreds of pressure points in your body.  These trigger points can be manipulated to enhance the energy flow in your body to bring back the levels of energy you are used to having.</p>
<p>Acupressure massage is performed using kneading, tapping and vibration massage techniques.  These massage techniques are used throughout the body in conjunction with stimulating the acupressure points.  Delivering the acupressure massage is achieved by making rapid circular motions with medium pressure on particular trigger points.  The trigger points are then stimulated in conjunction with massaging the body to release blocked energy.  The energy flow is restored and the body returns to a normal balance.</p>
<p>Acupressure massage therapy has many positive benefits.  It helps to alleviate stress, muscle tension, aches and pains.  It helps to harness the body&#8217;s own recuperative powers.  The acupressure stimulations help diffuse the build up of toxins in the body.  As toxins in the body build up, it causes stiffness in the muscles.  This muscle stiffness puts pressure on the circulatory and lymph systems.  This puts unequal pressure on your body putting it out of balance and harmony.</p>
<p>Massage chairs incorporate advanced technology to accurately locate the trigger points of the body.  The software programs make a map of the users trigger points.  The acupressure massage is then customized for each individual user.  There are almost 100 trigger points in the back alone.  Massage chairs have outstanding capabilities to stimulate your acupressure points and apply massage techniques such as kneading, percussion and vibration.  These massage therapies are effective in relieving soreness, aches and pains in the back, shoulder and neck.</p>
<p>For the lower body, many manufacturers have developed air compression systems.  The air compression systems incorporate specifically designed airbags with special nodes to activate trigger points in the lower body.  When the air compression system activates, the airbag inflates and the node pushes gently into the trigger point.  These are most commonly found for the back of the calves and for the bottom of the feet.  Stimulating these trigger points help to induce total body relaxation and release accumulated tension.</p>
<p>We have a lot to learn from the Chinese.  They have been around for more than 2,000 years.  They have learned many things that we are just beginning to find out about.  Acupressure massage is one such area.  The Chinese have used to relieve a variety of ailments including motion sickness, constipation and more.  As technology has advanced, these acupressure techniques have been replicated into the best massage chairs.  Massage chairs provide a convenient and economical way to receive frequent acupressure massage.  This is important to counteract the daily build up of stress.  Stress relief needs to occur with greater frequency, since stress build up is continuous.  Having your own massage chair is a fantastic method to help your restore balance and harmony.</p>

<p>Massage therapy helps your body to rid itself of built up toxins.  Your first line of defense is the blood to remove toxins.  Your lymphatic system removes toxins that the blood cannont.  Both of these systems can be enhanced with acupressure massage therapy.  Acupressure is a form a massage therapy from ancient Chinese medicine.  It uses firm pressure on specific trigger points in your body to increase blood circulation which helps to remove toxins from your body.  The top massage chair companies now offer acupressure massage therapies to further help the body&#8217;s natural toxin removal systems.</p>
<p>Acupressure is a massage technique which helps to release blocked energy centers in your body.  Science has confirmed the existence of meridian pathways using various electrical techniques.  Chinese medical arts understood these meridian pathways to carry energy throughout the body.  They noticed that certain junctures or centers could become inhibited or blocked causing the body to be out of balance.  By applying pressure to certain pressure points in the body, the energy flow could be manipulated and restored.  Science has now mapped out the body&#8217;s acupressure points and has cataloged over 350 points in the body.</p>
<p>To manipulate your trigger points, acupressure massage uses a variety of techniques.  Firm pressure is applied to targeted pressure points depending on the areas in need of attention.  Additionally, chopping style massage is used to loosen up major muscles to reduce stiffness.  Kneading is used to elongate muscles and reduce soreness.  Vibration massage is used to stimulate the capillary vessels to enhance blood circulation.  As the trigger points are activated, energy begins to flow once again at its normal levels.  This brings back greater harmony to the body.</p>
<p>Acupressure massage therapy has many positive benefits.  It helps to alleviate stress, muscle tension, aches and pains.  It helps to harness the body&#8217;s own recuperative powers.  The acupressure stimulations help diffuse the build up of toxins in the body.  As toxins in the body build up, it causes stiffness in the muscles.  This muscle stiffness puts pressure on the circulatory and lymph systems.  This puts unequal pressure on your body putting it out of balance and harmony.</p>
<p>The technology that is being incorporated into the best massage chairs is simply amazing.  Advanced mechanical systems coupled to sophisticated software has produced wonderfully effective massage therapies.  These massage recliners have sensors to scan your back.  Their software programs create a digital map of your back and locate your individual trigger points.  The software then targets these points and the mechanical systems provide kneading, chopping, vibration and firm pressure.  These effective systems provide thorough and invigorating relief for your whole back and body.</p>
<p>For the lower body, many manufacturers have developed air compression systems.  The air compression systems incorporate specifically designed airbags with special nodes to activate trigger points in the lower body.  When the air compression system activates, the airbag inflates and the node pushes gently into the trigger point.  These are most commonly found for the back of the calves and for the bottom of the feet.  Stimulating these trigger points help to induce total body relaxation and release accumulated tension.</p>
<p>The ancient Chinese have understood the great healing powers of the body.  They have studied and correlated many therapies to assist and enhance the body&#8217;s own natural healing powers.  These techniques are systematically being integrated into the best massage chairs.  These top brands are finding innovative ways to provide effective relief of many common disorders.  Acupressure is known to relieve insomnia, dizziness, headaches and more.  We are just beginning to realize the power of these simple but effective techniques.  Stress has been around since time began, stress relief is your counter balance.  Massage chairs are the most convenient method to receive ongoing stress relief.</p>
