Title: Does Anyone Own a Shiatsu Massaging Chair ?
Post by: SeaBreeze on October 30, 2008, 05:48:53 PM
Hi...
While I was waiting for a prescription today, I sat in the demo massage chair... OMG... I could have sat there all day... It was wonderful... Does anyone have one at home ?

Hi  :)

I've only ever seen them in Motorway service stations and I've never tried one. Hubby got me a sort of electronic back massage thing that I was meant to lean back on and enjoy and was disappointed that I wasn't grateful. It hurt. I knew it would before I tried it - and it did!

good luck with tracking a chair down.

take care - Scottie  :)

Scottie, yes it was just a mat that I sat on, not the whole chair... I goofed up the post... So it hurt... hmmm. I'm going to look around and see what's out there, the one at the store was $100 but I don't want to waste my money... Maybe I'll just stop by the store everyday..  ;D

I have one of these back massagers that sit on a chair.  It can be rough on your back if you're not a spring chicken or have any bone disease/problems.  Lucy

I bought one once and only used it a few times before I had to return it.  It ended up hurting my back more than helping.  A friend of mine has one and I sat in hers for a few minutes and it felt great!!  But it was only for a few minutes.  So I go out and buy one but . . . the longer you sit on it, the more your back hurts!  So I hated to waste $100 just to be more sore than I already am.  Fortunately, the store let me take it back.
