Not one therapeutic massage chair firm that we symbolize, not to mention each different therapeutic massage chair distributor within the USA, permits for the switch of their chair’s guarantee to a brand new non-public purchaser of a used therapeutic massage chair.

However, for essentially the most half, you haven’t any concept what the chair went by means of within the residence of the earlier proprietor. Did they’ve animals…particularly those who shed? Did some mice arrange their residence beneath the therapeutic massage and compromise the wiring and different electronics of the chair? We now have really heard from our therapeutic massage chair techs about mice nests! Did the earlier house owners use the chair a number of hours every day of the week?
