So how does a chair massage differ for a traditional massage? Aside from the fact that it is done away from the salon, it is a bit shorter than a normal massage but provides the same relaxing benefits. Using a specially designed massage chair, a trained therapist addresses the key areas of stress - neck, back, shoulders and arms - to wipe away the stress of the day. Another reason for its popularity is the fact that in addition to being offered at a traditional massage salon, they are being administered in massage stores, stand-alone kiosks and businesses practically everywhere.

So what are the benefits of a chair massage? First, it is done over the clothing; some people feel uncomfortable with traditional massage techniques that require you to get completely undressed. With the chair massage taking place out in the open, one can avoid the awkwardness they might experience in a salon. Secondly, because the massage is done out in the open, a person can see exactly what it entails by observing others.
