offers nine chairs in the $3,000 to $4,000 price range category. However, in our opinion, two of these chairs stand so far above the rest that anybody looking in this price range is probably going to want one of these two chairs–either the Sanyo HEC-SA5000C or the Omega M-5000 DLX. Because these chairs are so closely matched (we only rank Sanyo ahead of Omega because we promised to give a ranking) we feel like a head-to-head comparison of the two chairs will probably be the most useful to our customers.

We’ve ranked the Omega 510 Prestigio first in its class ($2,000 to $3,000) because of the number of features Omega has incorporated from its more expensive lines. The most notable examples are the Prestigio’s ability to automatically search and memorize the user’s physique and weight and massage accordingly, as well as its stretching function for lower legs that some of Omega’s more expensive lines offer.

You’ll note that the Panasonic, one of our other well-ranked chairs in this category, does not have the full footrest that is offered by Omega. Going without the full footrest obviously saves our customers money, but in our opinion, the extra couple hundred dollars is well-worth the extra functionality. (more…)

We rank the Human Touch 1650 number three in our top category ($4,000 to $5,000), because it is a truly outstanding chair. We have had a few customer service issues with Human Touch, which slightly limits our enthusiasm for this chair, but feature for feature, the Human Touch 1650 chair is an excellent value.

Walk with me through this chair’s numerous features. First, let’s step back and look at the classic design of the chair. Some people prefer a futuristic-looking massage chair, since it is packed with cutting-edge technology, but Human Touch has chosen to package their advanced technology into a beautifully classic style. With just a quick glance, you may not even realize this is not a regular recliner. (more…)

The new HEC-SR1000K has been designed to remove the stresses and strains of the modern day. This unique massage lounger features two main programmes both are easy to use and can be fully controlled by the remote control. The first is a manual control setting which allows you to specifically target areas of your body which you know are feeling tense.

If however you would like the chair to recommend the best massage programme, this is where the automatic setting comes into its own. The automatic massage is activated by using the finger and thumb sensor on the handy remote control. (more…)

The first “thinking” massage lounger, the RealPro? Massage Lounger uses Body Scan technology to deliver a massage that’s personalized for your body. When you sit down, pressure sensors on the massage heads scan your back for 20 seconds and then locate the tops of your shoulders. The massage is then contoured to your spine’s curvature for a tight and proper massage.

Massage therapy helps increase your blood circulation and temporarily reduces muscle stiffness, to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The 30″ massage track on the RealPro? Massage Lounger helps keep your back and neck strong, covering more massage area (150″) than any other major manufacturer. And with our 5-step speed control motor, the possibilities for varied massage feelings are endless. (more…)

Our massage lounger gives you the choice between the deep tissue therapy techniques of Shiatsu massage or the soothing relaxation techniques of Swedish massage.

Shiatsu uses strong, deep tissue pressure and stretching to promote health and spiritual well being. We analyzed the finger movements of professional Shiatsu massage therapists in order to replicate this highly developed, firm style of massage. When in this mode, the Swede-Atsu? technology uses only two rollers, or heads, to recreate the Shiatsu massaging motions. (more…)

When it comes to quality, The Omega Line is the gold standard. We use genuine Japanese components for the roller units, motors, and PCU board. No other chair uses the technology and assembly of our massage chairs with cost effective measure, while utilizing high quality Japanese components on the important aspects of a massage chair. Most massage chairs are made with Chinese or Taiwanese components. The ratio of breakdown using cheaper components is the primary reason that massage chairs need constant repair work or maintenance.

leather-like material allows for the perfect permeability of the rollers, yet is strong and durable enough to withstand the constant movements of the massage rollers. (more…)

Massage recliner chairs are quite similar to the traditional recliners, except that massage recliners include small electronic motors that purposely cause the chair to either massage or vibrate in specific parts of the body and in particular directions. The massagers also include plastic rollers inside the backs, as well as on the sides, that vibrate, massage, and roll the person sitting in the chair. A few of the newest models that are on the market are described as feeling like being massaged by a real massage therapist.

Massage therapy is being recognized in more studies as an effective treatment to increase blood flow and lymph flow; reduce stress; relax muscles; reduce heart rate; and improve range of motion. These are significant findings. However, these benefits are premised on obtaining these therapies on a periodic basis. Just like diet and exercise, massage needs to be part of your total health routine. Not just something done a few times a year. (more…)
