Private Masseuse iJoy 320 and iJoy 300 Robotic Massage Chair by Interactive Health Products - NEW and Factory Refurbished Chairs are IN STOCK!

Does anyone have a massage chair? Pros / cons? I don't know anything about massage chairs either...is the ijoy 320 even a good chair?

Also, can you get your insurance to cover any of the cost of a chair? I have to go to Lubbock in a week for a surgery consult on my back...I'm going to ask him several questions, but if I know I can get the insurance to cover some of it, that would be SWEET!

Any suggestions?

Does your ins cover massage therapy? It is available in many doc's office as a prescription item with specifically detailed treatment. Some people have very good success with a program of massage, and other physical training.................BUT not everyone.
Surgery is such a crap-shoot

I have never thought of that. I feel like such an idiot considering I get a massage at least once a month. (2 hours for $75)
When I go to the Doctor this weekend, I will ask about that too. Good suggestion...thanks.
