What Are Therapeutic Massage Chairs? Hands-free support, guided by your comfort

Our massage chairs are designed to gently support your body while providing graded pressure, movement, and stretching. Unlike a spa or hands-on massage, these sessions are technology-assisted and can be easily adjusted to suit your needs and tolerance.

Before you begin, a team member will explain how the chairs work, discuss any areas of sensitivity or concern, and help you choose settings that feel safe, comfortable, and appropriate for you.

Are Massage Chairs Right for Me?

Massage chairs at our Recovery Lounge may be helpful if you experience general stiffness, everyday muscle tension, or stress that makes daily tasks feel more tiring than they should. They can also be a gentle way to support recovery alongside physiotherapy or exercise programs.

Persistent neck, shoulder, or low-back tightness from daily activities
Stiffness from prolonged sitting, standing, or computer work
Soreness or fatigue after walking, exercise, or caregiving tasks
General stress, muscle guarding, or feeling "wound up"
A sense of being "tight" or restricted in your movement

Common Reasons People Use the Recovery Lounge
