Find a friend who is willing to exchange massages with you. Place a professional massage chair in an area where you can move around it without running into other furniture. If you do not have access to a massage chair, have your friend sit in a regular, straight-back chair.

Step 2
With your friend in the massage chair, place her head in the cushioned hole. If you are using a regular chair, have your friend sit in the chair.
