L-Track Massage Chairs

With L-Track Massage Chairs, generally more areas are covered as the massage rollers can travel a farther distance and massage more areas. The L-Track gets its name from its shape and with some models, the rollers can reach as far as the hamstrings.

Since their first appearance in the 1950s, massage chairs have come a long way with lots of innovative technologies aiming to deliver a more satisfying and efficient experience. Among these new methods, the L-Track massage chair is considered one of the best advancements in the massage chair industry within the last decade.

What Are L-Track Massage Chairs?

A thorough answer to this question requires you to first understand what a 'track' actually is.

Did you ever stop and wonder what part of a massage chair is responsible for performing the massage? That would be the chair's track, more specifically, the rollers mounted on its track.

The earlier models of massage chairs had their tracks lined up straight, which wasn't very comfortable and didn't quite affect the neck region nor the lower back area since both of them take a curve in. It also concentrated the action to the mid-back which wasn't necessary most of the time.

Nowadays, tracks are strategically placed to optimize the delivery of vibrations throughout the body in equal intensities. Some models allow for vertical and horizontal movements of the rollers, while others provide forward and backward motion.

Before L-Track massage chairs came along, the S-Track was the norm. You can see the differences between the two here.

What's an L-Track?

Otherwise known as an extended roller track, the L-track is basically a very lengthy massage track that travels along your body, starting from the head all the way down to your hamstrings or upper thigh area depending on your height and model of the massage chair.

This continuous chain means you'll be receiving the same amount of work at your glutes, piriformis, and hamstring muscles, just as traditionally given by massage chairs at your neck, mid-back, and lower back areas.

What Are The Benefits Of Owning An L-track Massage Chair?

This decision of buying ultimately comes down to what an L-track massage chair can do for you.

The fact that it works beyond the lower back reaching the glutes and upper thigh, is fantastic news for those who suffer from frequent low back pain, sore butt muscles, piriformis syndrome, or sciatica related to the pelvic musculature. An L-track massage chair can be a valuable addition to their treatment regimen.
