ARLINGTON, Texas—Luraco Health and Beauty LLC announced that its medical massage chair technology has been officially licensed and accredited as durable medical equipment (DME). This designation formally recognizes Luraco's medical massage chairs as equipment suitable for use within health care and clinical wellness environments.
Durable medical equipment accreditation is granted only to products and suppliers that meet health care standards for safety, reliability and therapeutic application.
A scientific study was conducted at the Weber State University Stress Relief Center to measure the impact of 2,887 students sitting on a Luraco Medical Massage Chair for 15 minutes on various stress-related factors, including perceived stress levels, resting heart rate, blood pressure and physical pain.
The company's chairs integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including precision robotic massage, stretching programs and biometric monitoring such as heart rate and blood pressure, enabling users and wellness professionals to observe measurable physiological responses during relaxation and recovery sessions.
"This recognition represents an important step forward in the broader acceptance of therapeutic massage technology as a legitimate component of modern wellness programs," said Robert Nelson, manufacturer's representative for Luraco Health and Beauty LLC. "For centuries, cultures in the East have embraced therapeutic massage as a natural and powerful way to restore balance within the body. What we are seeing today is the Western health care system beginning to integrate those time-tested principles with advanced technology and scientific validation. Luraco's mission is to bridge those worlds—bringing safe, measurable and accessible therapeutic wellness solutions to the communities that need them most."
