How to move your massage chair

How to move your massage chair

A massage chair is a hefty investment - in both monetary cost and therapeutic benefits. When the time comes to move your premium massage furniture, you must take careful precautions. Improper handling risks damage to the chair or, even worse, injury to yourself. Follow these steps to relocate your massage chair safely:

 

Partners to move a massage chair

Enlist a Helping Hand

Have a Partner

• Do not attempt to move the chair solo - massage chairs often exceed 250 lbs

• Enlist at least one able-bodied assistant to help lift and pivot

Massage Chair Features

 

Leverage the Chair's Moving Features 

Utilize the Chair's Moving Features

• Many models include rear handles to grip from behind 

• Guide the front cautiously to avoid the sensitive foot massager components

• Notice the rear-mounted wheels - lean the chair back to roll on these

 

Navigating Stairways

Disassemble for Stairs (if needed)

• If going up or down stairways, partially disassemble first:

   - Remove the armrests

   - Detach the foot massager unit 

• This leaves just the core chair frame - still heavy but more manageable
