BestMassage BM-EC161 Specifications
This multifunction massage chair is delivered to your house with only the leg rests detached so assembly is extremely simple. The chair itself is approximately 30 inches wide, so it may be difficult to get it through some doorways. It is also quite heavy like most massage chairs.
The BestMassage BM-EC161 massage chair is fashioned in brown faux leather with black accents. It looks very much like any other large reclining armchair you may have in your home.
Health and Wellness Benefits of the BestMassage BM-EC161 Massage Chair
The BestMassage BM-EC161 full body massage chair has all the bells and whistles of more expensive massage chairs at a more affordable price. First, the zero gravity recline helps your body completely relax into its most natural position. The leg rests stretch you gently to extend your limbs and your spine for maximum relaxation.
Once in this comfortable position, multiple rollers that cover a wide swath of the seat back will work their magic on tense muscles and your spine on a unique L-shaped track from your neck down to your lower back and then all the way around the buttocks muscles as well. This pleasant pressure, rolling, kneading and shiatsu-style massage is assisted with a gentle heat to loosen up knots and soothe joints as well.
This chair also features both roller and airbag massage for the calves and feet to help improve circulation and airbag massage for the forearms to complete the entire relaxed and healthy body experience.
