Can't Lie Down for a Massage or Acupuncture Treatment? We Have a Solution.
If lying face-down on a treatment table is painful, uncomfortable, or simply not possible for you, you are not alone β and it does not mean you have to give up on the relief you need.
At New West Wellness Centre in New Westminster, we treat patients using a specialized therapy chair designed for exactly this situation. Instead of lying flat, you sit comfortably and lean forward into a supportive, ergonomic position. Your face rests in a cushioned cradle, your chest and arms are fully supported, and your therapist has clear access to your back, neck, shoulders, and arms.
Who is the therapy chair for?
Many people find lying down difficult or impossible, including those who are:
Pregnant and unable to lie on their stomach
Living with acute back, neck, or hip pain
Recovering from surgery or a motor vehicle accident
Managing limited mobility, vertigo, or breathing difficulties
Simply more comfortable upright
Massage therapy and acupuncture β seated
Both registered massage therapy and acupuncture can be delivered effectively from the seated position. For massage, the chair opens up the entire upper body and back for focused work. For acupuncture, the seated position gives your practitioner safe, precise access to key points while you stay relaxed and supported the entire time.
You get the same quality of care β just in a position that works for your body.
