After spending a week at work at the office it is quite common to want to get a massage or do something that will really help you relax. When you have a job where you are drawing something that is very detailed and you want to make things just right, it is easy to have a crouched posture, no matter how ergonomic your workstation is. I use an electrical massager on my back when I notice tension building up, and sometimes I even have it with me at work to help me relax while I am working. Clever right?

The one that I have is one that you can fit in your car or in any chair that you have. It is a sort of a shiatsu massager and it looks like a chair cover – the ons that you can see taxi drivers having. It doesn’t sound or look like much, but when you have it you will certainly realize the problems that you have previously had. I for one could not sleep properly because I couldn’t find a postion in my bed where I could get my neck aligned so that it would not feel tense or painful. That’s what you get when your muscles tighten up.

There are many types of massager that I went through before coming to the conclusion that this current electrical massager was the best one for me. For example I looked at the ones that only massage your neck and shoulders – not enough for me, since my lower back is also often very tense and painful. Also I never experience pain directly in my upper neck – it’s always in my upper back if it goes that high.

Another one was those that you keep in your hand while you are doing the massager. Great, except you have to do all the work. I just like to be there while it’s doing the job – and if I was using a handheld machine, I could not use it while I was working.

There are quite a few of these machines available. and I noticed that they feel quite great. The massaging chairs are the top of the line, and they do all the work for you , giving you a total body massage. The problem is that they are quite big, bulky, and they cost an arm and a leg. And you can’t keep them with you. So it’s not for me, but it would be excellent for someone who regularly needs a full body massage and likes to sit in a recliner while getting it done.

Another option is to go see a massage therapist, but that will usually cost you like fifty bucks each time – do it weekly and you can easily notice it costing you $2500 yearly – that massage chair doesn’t sound that expensive any more!
