Aiea Massage Supply – Deep Tissue Massage

Electronic massage seat cover and UK driving law.- Are they legal?

Hi
I was interested in getting on of the massage seats for my car like the one in the link below which comes with a car power supply.

http://www.homedics.co.uk/uk/produkte/massage/shiatsu-2-in-1-back-and-neck-massager.html

However, my friend seem to think he heard somewhere that in the UK it is illegal to use them if you are driving due to the fact they might distract/ make the driver feel tired.

I have had a bit of a look on google and cant see anything to support his thinking – does anyone have any ideas on this ?

Many thanks in advance.

M.

I would suggest that you call a place like this and ask for your safety……….

Massage Equipment Buying Tips

No matter for professional massage therapist or people who want to have massage at home whenever they can, massage equipments of good quality can help a lot. People are always partial to famous brand which charge for thousands of dollars. In terms of quality, those brand name manufacturers are more reliable and have better reputation. But regarding to cost performance, say, some massage tables under $200 have better practicality than those big brands. If you’re not going to spend thousands of dollars for your small business, you can look around and ask acquaintances for advice to find better-quality items at the best price.

First, let’s see what we need. A massage table is necessary. Portable massage table is a must for door-to-door massage therapist in case of your client don’t have one at home.

Things to consider for choosing a massage table are as follow:

Should be easy assembly and conveniently portable. Aluminum frame is normally with better quality and lighter than wood frame.

That’s why many wood constructed massage tables cost less than aluminum ones. Stick to those with waterproof PU leather.

Proper thickness of the foam. Some massage tables are advertised as having thicker foam and then cost money, however over thick foam is not needed for a practical massage table. Normally 3″ is enough and the most suitable.

Face hole is needed for a good massage table. Some tables that are without any face hole or headrest are outdated and not suitable for most massage clients.

Those table and chair sets are alway more convient and better combined than that from different manufactures.

 

A portable massage chair is a great investment if you are a freelancer who is on call most of the time, this is. With the portable massage chair, you can go places you want to provide your service and with this, expand your business and increase your clientele.

Different from the past, now you can have so many models portable massage chairs to choose from. You’ll find it becoming complicated to choose proper massage chair among those chairs at different prices, with different brands, designs and features. Make sure you choose one that is durable and works best for you as a practitioner well as for your clientele.

Massage chairs can be divided into different brands and price ranges. Decide how much you are willing to invest for a portable massage chair before looking for a perfect one. They can cost from $150 to $500 but it doesn’t mean that the more expensive the better. Make sure that the features of your portable massage chair are the ones that you need to optimize your service for that ultimate spa experience. The design of the chair is essential feature you should consider. Well designed massage chairs are simple and meet the demand for ergonomics. Try to talk with experienced massage therapists and those who have a massage business and get some advice. Maybe they don’t know what’s the best massage chair or where to get it but they are supposed to know how to choose a perfect one for their own business and that is exactly what you don’t know.
