Are the medical claims for ‘massage’ justified?   After all, there are tens of thousands of masseurs in the UK, many of them talking up the medical benefits of massage – ranging from ‘letting the body heal itself’ to ‘relaxation assists in wellbeing’ to ‘it helps poor circulation’.  You name it, they say it.  And these practitioners are all unregulated too. 

Cue frowning and gnashing of dentures from the British Medical Association. Not that I particularly care, as the BMA is itself one of the greatest frauds perpetuated onto humanity.  As exhibit A, your honour, I put forward the £1 billion swine flu hoax.

My view? Nearly every claim about the therapeutic benefits of massage is true.  Ancient and modern cultures, especially those untainted by Western allopathic medicine, have known since the dawn of man about the benefits of massage. 

Talking to Ayurvedic Indian practitioners and Chinese doctors, it appears that massage releases and opens the subtle prana/chi channels as well as stimulating the blood flow. This allows the body to ‘breathe’ on many levels and lets cells exchange energy, oxygen and blood easier and quicker.  Simply put, it rejuvenates the body and helps it repair itself.

It’s therefore good to see some of the UK’s leading mobility companies adding inbuilt massage systems to their adjustable beds and recliner chairs.  For people with mobility problems, especially the elderly who are often stiff and inflexible, massage systems can be a huge boost to their health.  No, they won’t cure any medical conditions, but they will help. 

One of the best massage systems available for adjustable beds comes from a UK supplier based in the leafy shires near London.  The company is called Comfort Plus Products and they have invented what they delicately call the ‘ripple massage’.  Don’t get tongue tied on that one or you might receive a slap and a caution.

Anyway, Comfort Plus Products’ 10 point therapeutic massage system offers soothing relief for a variety of conditions particularly those associated with cramp and poor circulation.   All you have to do is switch it on, lie back and let the inbuilt massage system do its job.

Massage is  good for you, unlike a ‘Mars a day’

Does a massage system add more cost to an adjustable bed?  Yes, of course, but it’s worth it on so many levels, not least to help a person unwind after a busy day not to mention the health benefits.

Comfort Plus Products is now offering an Adjustable Bed Package that includes the ripple massage system, a memory foam mattress, a free headboard and free memory foam pillow.  It’s a superb offer, just click here to find out more.
