Recharge your body and mind at the touch of a button

The physical and mental health and well-being of its staff and students are important to the University of Debrecen. To that end, the institution is introducing massage chairs as a new service at its campuses on Egyetem Square, Böszörményi Road, and Kassai Road, as well as in the Faculty of Engineering building in Ótemető Street. Specialists have installed nine of these relaxation devices on Wednesday.

The massage chairs are not merely comfort devices: their operation is based on several scientifically proven positive physiological effects.

- Targeted mechanical massage can help reduce muscle tension in areas subjected to increased strain due to prolonged sedentary work and everyday stress. The massaging, vibration, and relaxation techniques used by these devices promote blood circulation and can help activate the body’s natural relaxation processes. It improves blood and lymphatic circulation, accelerating regeneration, and—in addition to or alongside its stress-relieving function—helps release “happiness hormones,” or endorphins, directly improving mood as well. "The massage can put the nervous system into a state of rest, which can help reduce stress, refresh the mind, and improve overall well-being," László Balogh, director of the Institute for Sports Science Coordination, told hirek.unideb.hu.

Experts have placed the relaxation tools in locations where they are accessible to as many people as possible. The massage chairs at Nagyerdei Stadium, Unifit, Campus Hotel Buildings A and B, the Kossuth Lajos Dormitory, the Learning Center, the Veres Péter Dormitory, and the Faculty of Engineering building operate via credit card payment.

Relaxia Business Class massage chairs are elegant, newly developed “well-being” devices designed to create relaxation zones in public spaces. Their unique, futuristic, capsule-like design conceals advanced massage technologies. Thanks to the settings of the unique automated program developed for these chairs, everyone can find the right intensity for them, regardless of body type. The chair’s zero-gravity reclining position and raised sides allow users to enjoy complete relaxation even in very crowded places.
