If I had a quarter for each time I heard this, well...I would retire! It goes to show that simple swinging motion done repetitively can cause muscle and tendon damage. Proper warm up can minimize these effects. Imagine getting an invigorating shiatsu massage before playing golf. It might just improve your game.
The premier massage chair recliners give a thorough sports massage therapy helping to reduce tension, relax and warm up the muscles. Is all this warming up really worth it because shiatsu massage chairs are not cheap. How much is it worth to avoid an injury? Certainly, that would lower the perception of cost. There is no substitute for a good warm up. If you are a Weekend Warrior or a Professional Athlete, your shiatsu massage chair recliner may be the most valuable player on your team. - 29951
