Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder and focus should be on to relieve/reduce symptoms.
So Massage therapy/Massage chair may helpful in easing some symptoms but it doesn't cure the disease.

So before that I would suggest you to consult with Neurophysician and continue after his recommendation only.
