Choose reputable dealers
Precautions start even before the purchase.
In any case, choose a dealer who can preferably show a national company headquarters.
Ideally, you can try the chairs before buying.
Also, pay attention to relevant dealer and product certificates.
Seek advice
Massage chairs are not dangerous if you get advice on-site and can test the trustworthiness of the provider.
Reputable providers do not promise great health benefits, as it is also not allowed to make such claims without precise evidence - in the form of studies.
Our customer service is often asked what health benefits an ASPRIA massage chair or a massage chair from the Pasithea Series brings, but the answer is always
"Please consult your doctor. We are not allowed to say anything about that."
Buy a device that has proven itself over the years
The desired model should ideally have been on the market for 2+ years already – meaning it has gone through the statutory warranty period.
Then you can better assess whether the said model has proven itself on the market.
Ask the dealer if there have been incidents and many repairs for existing customers.
Specific groups of people and the use of a massage chair
Although massage chairs are suitable for use by children, they should only be used under close adult supervision.
Pregnant women are also advised to discuss the use of massage chairs with their family doctor beforehand.

Duration of use on the massage chair
The maximum time a beginner should spend on a massage chair is thirty minutes, and the maximum time that should be spent massaging a single body part is five minutes.
Many people also see massage as an alternative to medication, which should not be encouraged, as it can be harmful to health and lead to excessive use of the technique.
Reputable providers will always point out that massage chairs CAN only contribute to your well-being as a bonus.
In any case, consult your doctor and let them explain what benefits a massage chair can bring specifically for you.
Electricity
Most massage chairs are electrically powered, and you should always ensure that the chair is properly plugged into an outlet.
As this increases the risk of a short circuit, massage chairs should never be connected to an extension cord.
To prevent the risk of electric shock, you must ensure that the massage chair is not plugged into the socket when being cleaned or when not in use for extended periods.
Additionally, you can save some electricity this way.
Problems you notice with the chair
If you notice a defect in the massage chair, you should stop using it immediately and inform the dealer from whom you purchased the chair.
Do this as soon as you notice the defect.
Always ensure that all components of the massage chair are in good condition and that the device itself has no defects before using it.
Chair maintenance
Clean your massage chair from time to time as instructed by the provider.
We recommend once a week.
This keeps the chair in good condition.
When cleaning the chair, you should not use spray cleaner that contains aerosol.
