Shiatsu Massage Chair Reviews

Many associates claim to make shiatsu massage chairs but in reality the chairs offer nothing of the sort. At best, most offer a general type of massage. Genuine shiatsu is the application of pressure with fingers and thumbs on energetic pathways, called meridians to improve the flow of energy. Quite frankly, most chairs lack the technology needed. However, some do. Here's a recite of some of the best shiatsu massage chairs currently available.

The HoMedics Shiatsu massage chair and others, like the iJoy, are often touted as giving a genuine, human-like shiatsu massage. But they as a matter of fact don't. The qoute is that in order to get a genuine shiatsu, the chair has to be provocative enough to know your body shape, just as a professional massager takes into account each persons height, weight and so forth. Chairs like HoMedics and iJoy are cheap and lack the technology required. Don't get me wrong, they're good chairs, but you naturally can't find a shiatsu chair for under ,500.

So, how much do you need to spend? Well, if you want a chair that does deliver, then you're talking around ,800.






The Fujikura 2000 massage chair retails for this price and comes with an provocative 4 roller ideas that conforms to the contour of your spine and a extra neck massage function that directly targets stress relieving "tsubo points" on your neck. It also has other features such as 26 air bags - 20 of which are in the foot and calf massager - as well as arm massagers. The massage modes include: rolling, kneading, shiatsu results, compression and percussion, chop operation and flapping. As an added bonus, the chair comes with a music therapy system.

Fujikura is a Japanese business and if you as a matter of fact want the best shiatsu massage chair you should buy one designed by a Japanese company. The Sanyo Hec-Sa5000K Massage Chair is the genuine description and retails for around ,300. It's a lot of money, I know, but you as a matter of fact are getting something that is in the top tier. It's a very stylish chair but more importantly, it comes with physical body shape detectors that will automatically adjust the massage rollers to your body shape to deliver a exquisite massage. You get a leg massager but no arm massagers with this model.

Retailing for a thousand dollars less - and in my opinion, a good chair - is the Osim iSymphonic Massage Chair. Now, this chair is packed with the most recent technology. It uses optical sensors to detect your body shape and to automatically align the rollers to deliver a stress relieving massage. There are also 5 Healthcare programs and you can customize them to originate your own unique massage. But, what's as a matter of fact impressive about this chair is the music therapy system. Unlike the Fujikura chair (mentioned above), it just doesn't play music, rather the massage given is directly orchestrated by the music of your choice; if you settle on hard rock, you'll get a pounding, but if you listen to soothing classical, you'll get an altogether gentler massage.

The Inada i.2 Massage Chair (Hcp-i.2A) retails for around ,300 and is cheaper then either the Sanyo or Osim but I believe offers the best value for money. Like the Osim massage chair, it uses optical sensors to detect body shape and automatically adjusts the chair rollers. Also, like the Osim, it has no arm massagers but it does come with vibration in the armrest. The widespread establish of the chair is very contemporary and stylish.

For its cost and feature list, the Inada is as a matter of fact a shiatsu massage chair I would recommend. However, it's worth trying to test the others out if you maybe can, especially the Osim and Sanyo massage chairs, so you can be as a matter of fact sure which one is best for you.
