I love love love having access to a massage chair; My company just bought an iJoy from ultimatebackstore.com and its awesome. I use it in the afternoon and it immediately perks me up. The company is great too; even my company said it gave service too good to be true! They have tons of other cool accessories to check out too.

Many people who go to massage school also don’t consider what it will take to get a massage business off the ground once they graduate. Many are ill prepared for the business side of things. Yes, you can work for someone else but it’s usually best to work for yourself eventually.

Those are just some reasons–but don’t forget about relaxation and overall mental health! I use my iJoy that I got at a great price at Ultimatebackstore.com after work everyday and I think it makes a huge difference in how deeply I sleep lately and a less sore workday the following day.

There is one thing that you should be aware of when you purchase a electric massage chair and that is the EMF (electromagnetic field) that any motor driven device puts out. Some people believe that the EMF (if it is high) will drain your energy system and immune system, so the benefit that you might derive from the device might be counteracted. IT is easy to get a cheap EMF meter at Radioshack or so and check the device or contact the manufacturer for this information. Devices like hair dryers and electric shavers have usually high EMF, but because you are only using them for short period of time, the effect of the EMF is to believed minor. But you would lie on an electric massage chair for quite some time, so the EMF should be considered.

Emotional release. It’s not quite a “pressure point.” A simple way of saying it is that emotions get “trapped” in the body, but what usually happens is that your body associates a way it’s feeling at the time you’re experiencing something emotional. So when it gets touched later, your body remembers that emotion and that can set off crying, even laughing and feelings of anger. This doesn’t happen very often, but it can happen. It might happen more with someone who has had some physcial trauma or abuse in the past. A well-trained massage therapist will know how to handle it. Feel free to interview new massage therapists on the phone to see how they’d handle such a thing before you make your first appointment.

There is NO exam that will get you licensure in all fifty states. There are a couple “national” exams, however, definitely not every state accepts them (not even close; around 25-35 for each). NY state requires over a thousand hours of training.
