Some nurses go 2-3 times per week!

My wife used to have benefits like that, I was going 2x a week, it was awesome lol.
I still go probably every 3 weeks but not as awesome.

That's what my RMT charges, I usually do 45mins @ $110.00. The RMT I see cleans up, I was literally her first client when she opened up her location about 10 years ago, she now has 3 locations, RMT's, Chiros, Physios, Accupun., Natural Paths all working for her, she has to be making bank.
Chiro charges $75.00 for 15 minutes so not a bad deal.

^ Both can be true. There are chairs with "mechanisms"!
Claiming it under benefits might be kind of a challenge though

You have to ask if they provide a receipt and have a registered massage therapist. Bonus if they offer direct billing!

unit buys massage chair to fix bad back, it doesn't work
unit returns massage chair, hurts back even more in the process
unit goes back into store and buys different massage chair, it also doesn't work
unit returns second massage chair, breaks back completely, dies
Revscene sad, but also proud of their brother for working the system

Has the recent return policy update from Costco impact returns for stuff like massage chairs?

I think the new policy changed for the US for sure and I'm sure they can use that right when needed for Canada.
90-Day Limit: This applies to televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, aerial cameras (drones), digital music players, tablets, smartwatches, and cellular phones.
Again, if the lady doesn't care and just takes it that's a bonus, but if you're red flagged I'm sure they can make it hard for you. But yes, they never flagged consoles.. so yeha

I'm also trying to get my wife to change her sedentary ways as well - not much luck there either.

I found emotional well being makes for a much much bigger difference than any amount of exercise will do, and it's a compound effect as well.
My dad when living with just my mom in their condo was overall in a pretty bitchy mood most of the time. I sometimes worried if he was depressed as there some some signs.
Then he moved into my basement. I honestly wasn't sure about it but in the 3 years he's moved in, his mood has been consistently improving. He had been having knee problems for years where he complained he couldn't walk down stairs without hurting. He had that problem when he first moved in, together with not being able to get up when sitting on the ground.
Maybe it's partly my two kids making him move more, maybe it's from just overall a better well being, which also translated him to be willing to go outside for walks. Being in Fraserview it's also a pretty taxing walk as it's hilly.
Him and I realized middle of last year, he no longer hurts. He can walk up and down stairs without any pain. He can get up from the floor. It's like it transformed him.
It goes back to the Singapore taxing policy where your taxes are reduced by the proximity of you being close to your parents. The design as that having adult children nearby improves the health of the elderly, to the point that the savings in medical needs far outstrips the the cost of providing those cost savings.
