Default Massage Chairs

Down at the grounds my Wife got hooked on those Massage Chairs. Does anyone have any experience with these. Do they help you ? are they a load of BS ? Is the $6000 price tag worth it, or even a good deal ?

Specifically we looked at the Inada Dreamwave chair and the new Sanyo chair.

Thanks ..

I love those chairs. I was considering buying one a while back - there are a ton of barely used ones on Kijiji (or there were in Marchish). I'd check those out at like half the price of a new one if I were you.

They are very worth using... but you'd probably not use it daily after about a week, which means it's not worth buying. Just go scam the store once a week and do a free trial.

My Mom has one of the very expensive ones and it is amazing. She gets a lot of use out of it, she has so many aches and pains from arthritis, neck and back issues from car accidents, etc. It is amazing (I use it as well every time I go over) but I really wonder about the cost. If you could snag one used for cheap, I'd go for it.

Yeah... i promised my Wife that i would get her one once we bought a house. I was thinking they would be at most $1500 ... stupid me. I used it yesterday and all I got out of it was a sore back...

A guy I know has chronic back injuries from his hockey-playing and absolutely swears by his chair. He uses it every day after work.

my gym has one, and i like the calf/leg massage option. I'd be willing to pay $2,000 for one.......i'd think that this would be a case of it would be well worth it to pay the money for a good quality unit
