Massage therapist trying to figure out what portable massage chair to buy?

[sarabeth]

I am looking to buy a chair to do onsite chair massage, I will be doing a couple of hours a week and want a good, sturdy, comfortable chair. The range in prices is so high, from dirt cheap to insanely expensive, and I was wondering what people's experiences have been, what chairs are good, what to look for, what to avoid. Thanks for the input.

If you are going to invest in chair massage as a business, then go with the Oakworks brand. It is sturdy, durable, easy to transport, set up & take down, and the customer service with the business is one of the best. The price range is a little higher than some, but you are definitely paying for a longer lasting product. Check the website for some deals or manufacturer send-backs. Most of the time you can save 20-30% off new if you are willing to sacrifice color choice, padding choice or maybe a vinyl fix-it that does not affect the use of the chair. I also recommend a carry bag for it to help haul, store and protect the chair and any supplies you may need.
