If you are really serious about playing at your best, then warming up is a critical first step. You may be mentally ready to play, but your body needs to be poised to perform. A regular warm up routine consisting of stretching and increasing blood flow is important. The body knows it is being prepared for physical exertion. Massage chairs have the ability to assist in the warm up and warm down for sports activities.

Golf is an interesting sport. It is viewed by many a low impact, since golfers ride carts or only walk. As opposed to sports like soccer where you need to run. However, golf requires repetitive motions. The repetitive motion of the golf swing can impact the entire body. The swing requires a large degree of motion to accomplish properly. The repetitive swinging motion can cause back, shoulder and neck pain. This is especially possible with little to no warm up.

The golf swing when done without an adequate warm up can actually cause damage to the muscles and tendons. Warming up helps to increase the elasticity of the muscle tissue. This helps increase your range of motion. The golf swing has a very long range of motion. Loosening up the muscles and tendons with a massage chair can be effective to increase blood flow and get your body started.

If you back muscles are not flexible, then your swing may suffer accordingly. Think of the motion of teeing off. The arc that the golf club needs to make is a long range of motion. You have to position your feet, shoulders and head correctly to get a good, consistent swing. Everything is related. If your have back discomfort or tightness, then your swing will be off as well.

The goal of warming up prior to your round of golf is to get the heart beating. Increasing your heart rate will circulate more nutrients to the muscles making energy more abundant. Also, getting your muscles loosened up helps to increase their flexibility and elasticity. This helps your swing by having your muscles relaxed and not tense. Try to warm up just before your game. You do not want to cool down too much and have your muscles tighten back up.

Shiatsu massage therapy is a great way to get an invigorating warm up. Shiatsu effectively warms up the muscles, increases blood flow and increase alertness. Some of the top manufacturers of massage chairs like Panasonic, Omega and Sanyo have shiatsu massage therapy. A very effective model of massage chair is the Panasonic EP 30004.

If you want to warm up your neck and shoulders, then try the HEC-DR7700 massage chair by Sanyo. Sanyo has developed a unique massage roller system that can effectively grip. This grip massage is very effective in the shoulder, neck and upper back areas. This is a great massage to get prior to playing golf.

Omega has their Montage Premier Massage chair with a lower body traction system and full body heat. The lower body traction system of the Montage Premier will stretch out your lower body. It will hold your feet in the foot rest and it extends out to stretch your lower back, hips, knees and ankles. This improves your range of motion and joint mobility. Use the full body heat to help warm up your muscles or to warm down. Heat helps increase blood flow and helps the healing process.

Your golf swing makes or breaks your golf game. To make sure your swing is at its peak, warm up your body prior to golfing. Not only does it help your swing, but it also helps to reduce the chance of injury. Back and shoulder pain are so common among golfers. Many of these ailments can be avoided by simply warming up and warming down. Massage chair recliners are a great compliment to your warm up.
