坐式按摩证书
In recent years, the global demand for seated
chair massage service is very sought after
because of its therapeutic advantages and its
adaptability to the modern fast-paced lifestyle.
Seated chair massage is performed by using a
chair, stool or special designed adjustable
massage chair, without the need to undress
unlike other classical massage.
The origin of seated massage is unknown, but the
ancient Japanese woodblock print depicts the
Japanese sat on the stool to enjoy the massage
scene. On the other hand, Russian Sports
Massage therapist used chair or stool leaning
against the bed to massage athletes. In the 1970s
and 80s, seated massage was popularized by
American masseur.
David Palmer who was as the founder
of modern Seated Chair Massage. He
started seated acupressure-based
massage program, and developed the
world's first commercial massage
chairs with designer Serge.
Seated Chair massage not only
eliminates the muscle fatigue because
of its calming and relaxing effects, but
also used in prevention care. Seated
massage is generally more economical
and time saving. It needs about 10-15
minutes and cost less than body
