The leg and foot massage features are probably the most varied among massage chairs. Some offer air only, others a mechanical hand like massage and others a combination or variation of both. The air massage feature is similar to a blood pressure cuff, inflating and deflating with a squishing type function. The mechanical massage function is supplied by a motor that simulates the rolling and kneading motion of an actual hand.
It is often the preference of the individual customer which works best for them. Most individuals prefer a combination where the air feature inflates to hold the leg or foot tightly and the mechanical feature provides the massage. |
