After having some regular massage lately...I've decided that I like the chair massage best. The traditional massage, of laying on either your back or stomach, does seem to relax my muscles but does not relieve stress. However, the chair massage relieves stress, relaxes my muscles, and I feel better physically after.
I think it is an alignment issue with my shoulders. Laying down on my stomach for a traditional back massage makes my shoulders roll forward causing further strain on my tight trapezoids & rhomboids. Sitting in the chair at a 45ish angle puts a lot less stress on my shoulders. And the chair massage has harder, faster, jerkier movements which my muscles really respond to. Smooth gliding movements with oil don't seem to relax the muscles as fast. Kind of interesting.
