MassageGelPadAliWelchMassage Gel Pad The main idea of the "massage gel pad" is to stimulate circulation. The movement of the pad would help to keep the blood vessels open while under pressure. There will no be very much major pressure release in this case but the gel pad would provide some. The ability of the gel to form to the pressure placed on it will be helpful in the more even distribution of the client's weight across the area of the chair rather than at one point location.
This design would essentially be a massage pad for a chair covered by a gel pad layer to relieve pressure. Though things like this are available on the market now, this design would have a less drastic motion so as to not cause excess pressure. It would be attached to the seat and back of the chair with straps that clasp under the seat and behind the back of the chair. The battery would therefore need to hang off of one of the sides of the seat or to be somehow attached to the bottom of the chair.
