Regular use of a massage chair can help reduce muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and lower stress. It is not a medical device, but a wellness product that offers daily relaxation.

No, we advise people with pacemakers or other implanted electrical devices not to use a massage chair. The electrical and magnetic components in the chair can interfere with these devices. Always consult your cardiologist first.

People using blood thinners or suffering from blood clotting disorders should be careful with intensive massage. Consult your general practitioner or specialist before using the chair.

In cases of severe osteoporosis, we advise against using a massage chair without consulting a doctor. The pressure from the rollers can pose risks for very brittle bones. In cases of mild osteoporosis, you can try the chair at the lowest intensity after your doctor's approval.

We advise pregnant women not to use the massage chair, especially not in the first trimester. Always consult your midwife or gynecologist before using the chair during pregnancy.

Stop the massage immediately if you experience pain. Reduce the intensity or choose a different massage mode. A slight sensitivity after the first sessions is normal, but sharp or persistent pain is not. If in doubt, contact us via info@thuiswellness.nl or 06-18150494.

The chair automatically switches off after the set time, so this is not an immediate danger. However, we advise against habitually sleeping in the chair — a massage chair is not designed as a sleeping chair, and prolonged use in an unnatural position can cause fatigue or muscle pain.

In case of a hernia, we always advise you to consult your general practitioner or physiotherapist first. In some cases, massage can provide relief, but for an acute hernia, rest and medical advice are priorities.

In doubt? Always consult your general practitioner.
