dbs and massage chairs

THis might sound trival but I cannot find a good full massage chair which is pacemaker /DBS friendly. They all exclude people with these devices. Same goes for vibration plates. I get it, they both emit electromagnetic fields. So does my microwave and phone. Any suggestions for

Massage chairs (Europe) which work with DBS

It has been suggested to cover the vibration plate with material that blocks these emmissions. Would this be acceptable. I have a device that measures emmisssions and the fabric does appear to block some emmisssions not all. The microwave is 30 years old so will need changing but emmissions are all around us. I pick up background emmissions from my wifi!

Not sure where your info is coming from. My wife who had DBS 11/22 uses our massage chair a couple of times a day with no problems. Internet search did not find any contraindications.
