Chair massage only accesses the back. I'd suggest swedish massage addressing the back and legs. Make sure to drink lots of water and get out of the car every hour , two max, for a five minute walking break. Drink WATER!! Not coffee, not juice, not coke, WATER. I ride a motorcycle doing long distance touring. 800 miles in a day is common, the biggest problem I have is making sure to stop and do the walking and consuming enough water to prevent dehydration and the ensuing discomfort.

After driving for 12 hours straight to Las Vegas, my back and legs will be killing me!
I'm not really interested in hooking up with a big hotel spa.
Should I just look for a chair massage somewhere or should I look for a normal therapeutic massage somewhere?
Any non-hotel options for a AMTA certified massage in Las Vegas?

Chair massage can get the legs too, but it's much better to go for one on the table. And I second the idea of frequent breaks and lots of water.

Of course if you drink *enough* water, then the frequent breaks become "mandatory". <G>

Thanks for the amta, table massage, frequent breaks, and voluminous water consumption tips.

I advise my patients to never pass one, but to book one.
Spine is most important anyway.
Some hotel spas are good, especially in gambling towns. They want to make you feel good to spend more at the tables. Bally's in Atlantic City has great massages at a reasonable price which includes use of pool, whirlpool, showers, etc. LK
