How Important It Is to Take Care of Your Body: Great Ways to Reduce Pain

Ouch!, My back aches, my hip hurts, my muscles ache. I have a bad back. Does any of this sound like you? For most of us, this is our constant pain. Our body aches. I am sure we are all dealing with the same issues once we hit 30. We didn’t think about our back until it was too late. Should we have had proper bending and lifting techniques in our younger days maybe we could avoid this pain. However, all is not lost. Now is the time to take back control of our bodies. Let’s see the best methods to regain strength and minimise body pain.

Home Massage Chair

Did you know just 15 minutes in a massage recliner chair could reduce stress, and anxiety and lower feelings of depression? So, why not bring this goodie to your home? A high-quality massage recliner chair is the king when it comes to reducing body pain. Aches and pains don’t just suddenly come about, for the most part. The painful sensations come from years of not giving our body the proper care it needs, or not having the circumstances to do so.

Your at-home massage chair is a gift to yourself that will keep on giving. If you have had a massage before how did you feel after? Perhaps a bit sore, but later you feel relieved. To keep that relief you must regularly go back. It is recommended to have a massage once or twice a week until you start to see improvement in pain management. This treatment can last for a while.

So, how does having a home massage chair compare to going to a salon each week?

Salon Massage vs. Home Massage Chair

A massage in Australia is about 55 – 100 AUD. For simplicity, let’s say 75 AUD. So 75 AUD X 2 times a week x 52 weeks in a year = 3,900 dollars. Remember this is only for one year and we didn’t even add in the time and gas to get to the massage salon.

In comparison, the cost of a massage recliner chair is from 5,000 AUD to 12,000 AUD. So, for the cheaper but by no means lesser quality chair you can see after a little over a year that your massages don’t have to stop. Most chairs come with a three-year warranty that can be extended.

So here we go again, more math. After 5 years of owning a recliner chair, you save a total of 14,500 AUD. That’s 5 years x 3,900 AUD for a salon massage – 5000 AUD for the chair and you are still left with some bang for your buck.

It’s very often hard for us to see the potential of making smart investments for the future but I know you will be grateful as you can treat your complete body to a recliner massage chair whenever you want without leaving your home.
