The iJoy Massage Chair and the i Revolution

The iJoy massage chair, what is that? Well, with the dawning of the new millennium, we have seen the i revolution. In marketing, this is probably up there as one of the great campaigns of all time. It all started with the Apple computer when they came up with the all in one monitor and computer for the home and called it the iMac. Next came iPod (in all its many versions), iTunes, iTouch and iPhone. Other companies, recognizing the popularity of these products, followed on their coat tails. Such things as iHomes, iTurtle, i-Dog (all speaker systems for iPods) to iPlay baby clothing and toys to iCarly in toys and entertainment for pre-teens and teens. The primary target market of i appears to be the thirty-somethings and younger, though the appeal is to all generations.

What does the i represent? My impression is something that is just for me, something that is personal, something that will make my life better, easier, more comfortable, convenient and more enjoyable. And in today's hectic world, who wouldn't want something like that? Along with many of these products, the iJoy massage chair represents the i very well.

The iJoy massage chair is a stylish line of massage chairs made by Human Touch. As a matter of fact, the tag line of the iJoy is: Feels good. Looks good. They are very trendy looking, and will fit in great with any modern home. There are a few different models, but they all look cool! They come in a variety of colors, and in either a microsuede or faux leather. They come with a handy remote to recline you back and to control the massage features and functions. Plus, they start at an affordable price point.

Though these chairs are more affordable than many massage chairs (that can cost thousands of dollars), they do not compromise on features. Human Touch has been making massage chairs for almost 30 years, and they have incorporated their technology into the iJoy. Many of these technologies have won awards for technological achievements, and their chairs are recommended by the American College of Chiropractic Orthopedists.

Human Touch has a patented massage system called Robotic Massage Technology that closely replicates an actual personal massage that is used in their chairs, and the iJoy massage chair is no exception. There are four main massage techniques, so something for everyone and their problems. Whether back aches from a long day of working, to chronic pain, to just wanting help relaxing for a better sleep. These techniques are:

• Rolling, which feels like a massage therapist gently, but firmly, pressing her hands on one side of your spine and then the other. This helps to relieve tension.
  


• Kneading, which feels like thumbs pressing on both sides of your spine while moving in a circular motion. This massages deeper muscles than rolling and helps to lift and stretch those muscles to improve circulation.
  


• Percussion feels like a gentle tapping on your back with the sides of the hands or fists. This is an even deeper massage  which invigorates the deep muscles and is used often for athletes. It also helps to flex the spinal joints and relieve pressure.
  


• Compression feels like the heels of someone's hands firmly pushing along the muscles on both sides of the spine. This helps to improve posture and mobility.
  

Well, no matter how you look at it, the iJoy massage chair is part of the modern i movement, and for good reason. It is trendy, stylish and can improve the quality of your life.
