Is Ceragem Massage Beds Good For Health?
Question: doc, my father is going to cera gem (thermal infrared massage) on weekly basis . is it good for health.. he is 65 now..
Brief Answer:
Safety not established
Detailed Answer:
I did use the Ceragem massage beds. The combination of heat, infrared and rollers can relax the strained muscles along the back and are OK for that.
They cannot compare to a massage given by a professional masseur though, these are just simple machines doing a fixed mechanical routine, unable to consider your height, body shape or specific individual conditions, let alone making a diagnosis and choosing the best and most efficient treatment for you.
That having been said, there is nothing in the device that would be BAD for a patient as long as the bed is being used according to the companies instructions.
I hope this helps,
