Chair massage can help to reduce pain and discomfort from sitting for long periods of time. It can help to improve posture and alignment and it can help to increase range of motion and flexibility. It can help to boost mood and energy levels. I highly encourage everyone to take chair massage once in month.”

You can also connect wirelessly to your personal bike computer (e.g., Garmin, Wahoo, etc.) or phone with a compatible fitness app (e.g., Zwift, Cyclemeter, etc.) so you can capture and track your ride metrics.
