A massage chair is a chair designed for massage. The traditional massage chair allows easy access to the head, shoulders, and back of the massage recipient, while the robotic massage chairs use electronic vibrators and motors to provide massage.

History
The first massage chair was designed in 1954 by Nobuo Fujimoto. He made various versions of chairs from used materials before he was fully satisfied with the chair.

Traditional
Massage Chairs are performed in ergonomically designed portable seats. Massage chairs focus on the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands. Massage therapists can offer on-site massages to many environments due to the portability of massage chairs, and clients do not need to remove the robe to receive a chair massage. Because of these two factors, chair massage is often done in settings such as business offices, employee appreciation events, trade shows, conferences, and other corporate arrangements.
Robotic
The robot massage chair contains an internal electronic motor and gears designed to massage the person sitting inside. Most robotic massage chairs have some form of control to change the type, location, or intensity of the massage. The first electric massage chair was invented in Japan before World War II.
Massaging chairs most often resemble a lounge chair. There are different types and brands, including office chairs that operate from internal batteries. The cheaper option is a separate massaging pad that can be used with an existing chair.
The benefits of massage chairs include deep relaxation, decreased blood pressure, decreased pulse rate, and increased metabolism.
The massage chair is designed to mimic the hand movements of a massage therapist. They use a combination of massage rollers and airbags to different parts of the body.
The robot massage chair was first marketed in 1954 by the Family Fujiryoki company. Currently, Japan is the largest consumer of massage chairs with several surveys showing that more than 20% of Japanese households actually have massage chairs.
Massage chairs vary greatly in price, style and intensity, from cheap "vibration" seats to full-intensity Shiatsu models.
