I’ve never really been a luxury item person. I’m a dentist, and I work hard, but I’ve never had much interest in expensive watches, jewelry, designer shoes, or luxury cars. I can appreciate them. They’re just not where I choose to spend my money. My wife knows this about me. She also knows something else about me. After years of practicing dentistry, my body takes a beating. If you’re a dentist, you know exactly what I’m talking about. All day long, we’re leaning forward, twisting our necks, turning our backs, holding awkward positions, and trying to see a tiny tooth from an angle the human body was probably never designed to hold for 45 minutes. You don’t notice it much when you’re younger. Then one day you get home, turn your neck, and think, When did my body start feeling like this? My wife noticed before I did. So she signed me up for a monthly membership at Massage Envy. And I loved it. For one hour, someone worked on all those knots in my neck, shoulders, and back. I would walk out feeling like somebody had reset my body. The only problem? It was once a month. My back didn’t wait a month to start hurting again. Then I discovered the Luraco medical massage chair. I’ll admit, I was skeptical. I already owned another brand of massage chair at home. It was good. I used it. I liked it. So when I first heard about the Luraco medical massage chair, I thought: How much better can one massage chair really be? Then I sat in one. That answered the question. The difference was night and day. The first thing I noticed was the pressure. It wasn’t just rollers moving up and down your back. It somehow felt like the chair was actually finding where I was tight. My shoulders. My lower back. The muscles along my spine. The pressure felt strong enough to actually do something, but controlled enough that I could completely relax. Then there was the chair itself. The leather. The materials. The way everything felt when you sat down. The design. It didn’t feel like a piece of exercise equipment sitting in the corner of a room. It felt luxurious. But the part that really got me was this: I could have this massage every single day. No appointment. No driving somewhere. No checking in. No waiting for my therapist. No looking at my calendar and realizing my next massage was still three weeks away. I could finish a long day of dentistry, walk over to the chair, sit down, close my eyes, and within seconds feel like I had my own personal masseuse waiting for me. Every single day. That completely changed the way I looked at the price. Some people spend thousands of dollars on a watch. They put it in a drawer and wear it on special occasions. Some people buy jewelry and keep it in a jewelry box. Some buy designer shoes that they’re afraid to get dirty. Some buy an expensive car because they love the way it makes them feel when they drive it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with any of that. But I realized something about myself. If I’m going to own a luxury item, I want my luxury item to take care of me. I want to use it every day. I want it to make my aching muscles feel better. I want it to help me relax after a stressful day. I want to sit in it for 20 or 30 minutes and get up feeling different than when I sat down. To me, that is luxury. And I liked the Luraco medical massage chair so much that eventually I did something I never expected. I bought another one for my dental office. Not just for me. For my patients and my team. There was a very personal reason behind that decision. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist. So even though I’m a dentist today, I understand how patients feel when they walk through our doors. The smell. The sounds. The anxiety. The thought of somebody working in your mouth. That’s one reason I’ve always tried to be as gentle as possible when treating my patients. And over the years, I’ve become almost obsessed with creating a better patient experience. I don’t care if someone is coming in for a simple exam and cleaning or a major dental procedure. I want them to feel taken care of. So we put the Luraco medical massage chair in what we call our Zen Room. And something interesting started happening. We would tell a patient: “Before we get started, why don’t you go relax in our massage chair?” A few minutes later, we’d walk into the room. Their eyes would be closed. Their feet would be up. And almost every time, we would hear some version of: “Oh my gosh. This chair is incredible.” Then comes my favorite question: “Can I use this every time I come here?” Absolutely. Then something even more unexpected happened. The chair started solving one of the biggest frustrations in a dental office. Waiting. If we’re running a little behind, instead of leaving someone sitting in the reception area watching the clock, we can send them to the Zen Room. They get in the massage chair, put on the noise canceling headphones, and relax. Sometimes patients actually come early because they want to use it. Some don’t want to get out when we’re ready for them. Think about that. We took something patients normally hate, waiting at the dentist, and turned it into something they actually enjoy. But the story didn’t stop with our patients. My team started using it too. And if anyone deserves a massage chair, it might be dental hygienists and assistants. They spend their days leaning, twisting, reaching, standing, assisting, cleaning teeth, turning over rooms, and taking care of patients. By the end of a busy day, their necks and backs can be hurting just as much as mine. Now they can sit in the chair when they have time. They joke that they’re being pampered at work. And I love that. Because the patient experience matters to me, but so does the experience of the people taking care of those patients. Then I started noticing something I never expected when I bought a massage chair. People talked about it. Patients mentioned it in their reviews. New patients would come in and say: “My friend comes here and told me about your massage chair.” Our team tells patients about it. Patients tell their friends about it. It became what I call a talk trigger. One of those unexpected experiences that makes someone want to tell another person about your business. There are thousands of dental offices. Most have dental chairs. Most have TVs. Most have a reception room. But how many times have you heard someone say: “You have to go to my dentist. They have this unbelievable massage chair.” That makes me smile every time. Because I didn’t buy the chair as a marketing strategy. I bought it because I experienced it myself and thought: I want my patients and my team to feel this too. The marketing happened naturally. And that may be the biggest lesson this chair taught me. For years, I thought luxury meant owning expensive things. Now I think luxury is much simpler. Luxury is coming home after spending eight hours twisted over patients and having something waiting for you that makes your body feel better. Luxury is having 30 quiet minutes when nobody needs anything from you. Luxury is watching an anxious dental patient walk into a room tense and come out smiling. Luxury is seeing one of your team members finish a difficult day, sit in the chair, close her eyes, and finally relax. Luxury isn’t always about impressing someone else. Sometimes luxury is simply investing in something that improves your life over and over again. A watch can tell me what time it is. A luxury car can get me to work. Jewelry can sit beautifully in a drawer. But my Luraco medical massage chair? I can use it tonight. And tomorrow. And the day after that. And after another long day of twisting my neck and back trying to see the distal of an upper second molar, I can sit down, press a button, close my eyes, and feel the chair start working on the muscles that have been bothering me all day. That’s my kind of luxury. It has made a difference in my daily life. It has made a difference for my team. And, unexpectedly, it has helped us take the patient experience in our dental office to another level. So when people ask me whether an expensive massage chair is really worth it, I think about all the things people buy that sit in garages, closets, drawers, and jewelry boxes. Then I think about the chair I use almost every day. Some luxury items are meant to show people what you have. My favorite luxury item is the one that takes care of me. Envisionchairs.com
