How a Massage Chair Helps with Workout Recovery

Want to know the secret to great, effective workouts? It’s not finding the perfect protein powder, doing more burpees, or running an extra mile. The secret is recovering well. Good workout recovery allows you to get back in the gym faster, make greater gains, and help prevent injury. This is true for everyone, from beginner to professional athlete. After your next day at the gym, you won’t regret recovering with an Infinity® Massage Chair. Here are a few of the many ways a massage chair helps with workout recovery. 

Soothe the Sore with a Massage Chair

Noodles legs, the burning sensation in your muscles, and the inability to raise your arms over your head. Immediately after working out, your muscles are not in ideal working condition. Soon though, this unsteadiness turns to muscle soreness, or DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Using an Infinity Massage Chair after your workout can help reduce and soothe those tender aches and pains. Select from a long list of powerful massage settings that can work deep inside the muscles. You can also choose a whole body massage or target a particularly sore muscle group.

Massage Aids in Post-Workout Healing

In addition to reducing soreness, a massage can aid in healing after your workout. Whether you completed cardio or strength training, working out makes us stronger by making microscopic tears in our muscles. Using a massage chair increases the circulation throughout your body. This increased blood flow flushes out the lactic acid and other toxins sound in these tiny tears. In addition, the increased circulation carries nutrient and oxygen-rich blood throughout your body, which can aid in healing and minimize inflammation.

Prevent Injury with a Massage Chair

Being sidelined by an injury is something every athlete fears. A post-workout massage in an Infinity Massage Chair can help prevent this from happening. The kneading, tapping, and rubbing on your muscles can increase your flexibility by elongating tissues and breaking down tense fibers, among other things. You can also do a quick 10-minute massage before a workout to increase blood flow which can help prevent injury.

Features Great for Workout Recovery

An Infinity Massage Chair has great features for athletes! Activate the lumbar heat for beneficial heat therapy on sore lower back muscles. You can also choose the Sports Refresh auto program for workout recovery made for athletes. Target a trouble area with zone selections and one of the six massage roller settings, including Shiatsu, kneading, and knocking. Vary the intensity level based on your body’s needs. Additionally, recline to the zero gravity position to evenly distribute body weight, alleviate post-workout pain, and increase muscle relaxation.

A Massage Chair Aids in Mental, Physical Rest

Using an Infinity Massage Chair after working out can also aid in mental and physical rest. Rest is critical to fully recovering from a workout and having mental fortitude. A massage session near bedtime can greatly increase your sleep quality. A massage chair can also help reduce stress levels which aids in greater sleeping habits.
