The Exciting New Massage Bed

Many people think of massage beds as being synonymous with a portable massage table, the objects that therapists use to give you a massage. However, these massage products are actually much more high-tech and exciting than that. Today’s massage bed has years of scientific research behind it and can give you many of the same benefits a therapist does, but without the need for a therapists. You’ve probably seen these beds in malls and other shopping locations as well as in physical therapy centers. They come in two basic varieties, acqua massage beds and thermal massage beds. If you are so inclined you can also buy these beds for your home and enjoy the benefits of a professional massage whenever the mood strikes you.

Thermal massage beds are built on technology around infrared rays. Infrared rays are harmless light energy that is unable to be seen by the human eye. It simulates the heat given off by the sun. Our bodies absorb infrared rays into our muscles, but not the skin. So you get a nice, warm feeling in your muscles after sitting in these beds without your skin feeling hot. The infrared rays are used in conjunction with a neck massager with heat and rollers that use back massage techniques to pressure and pat acupressure points on your body connected to organs and other functions.

There are many benefits to using a thermal massage bed. The combination of infrared rays and acupressure stimulates your metabolism, reduces pain in your muscles, flushed out toxins, and even can possibly improve your immune system. The thermal massage beds are advertised as able to treat headaches, blood pressure problems, lower back pain, and various other chronic disorder. It’s even possible to burn anywhere between 600 to 2400 calories per 30 minutes session of laying on the bed. Even if not all of these claims turn out to be true, at the very least it is a very relaxing experience and you will feel great afterwards. You can feel the heat from the rays for up an hour after the massage is over.
