What Is 3D Massage Technology?

Massage rollers have advanced quite a bit since the modern massage chair made its way to the market. Each manufacturer has created their own way to provide you with a relaxing massage and has been creating new advancements every day. One of these advancements is the 3D massage roller! This massage roller is outfitted with massage heads that can protrude from the track an additional 10cm +/- to massage deeply into your back muscles and reach much further up your shoulder and neck. This technology has a number of benefits over your typical massage roller, which are:

• Improved Deep Tissue Massage – The extra protrusion allows the massage rollers to massage deeply into your muscles so you receive much deeper relief from your massage experience.
• Additional Control Over Your Massage – 3D massage rollers come with additional levels of adjustability so you can find the perfect massage strength for you.
• Improved Coverage of the Neck and Shoulders – Since the massage heads can protrude from the track your massage will provide a much better experience around the shoulders and neck as the rollers can now reach areas that previously would have gone without.

4D Massage Technology

3D massage technology has been taken one step further with 4D massage technology. This improves upon the design of the protruding massage heads and allows them to rotate to the side so it can target hard to reach muscles, like the ones between your shoulder blades and spine. This technology also provides a much better shoulder massage than standard 3D massage rollers. Since this technology needs to be able to target specific muscles, the body scanning technology that accompanies it had to improve as well. With 4D massage technology, the body scanning detects your shoulder blades, as well as the height of your shoulders and curvature of your back.

What Is Zero Gravity?

Zero gravity is now a standard feature on most modern massage chairs. This position was originally introduced by NASA as a way to reduce stress on the astronauts body as they were being launched into space. Since its inception, it has been reappropriated into home massage chairs and zero gravity chairs to helps people find a deeper sense of relaxation.

This position reclines you back and raises your legs to the level of your heart. Many chairs have a two stage zero gravity, the second position simply reclines you back further. In this position, the stress of gravity is removed from your joints and spine which allows them to decompress. This process has an excellent relaxing effect on the surrounding muscles and can even result in a sort of weightless feeling in some users. This level of deep relaxation allows you to get more benefit from your massage experience.

The zero gravity position has another benefit for your massage experience. This position focuses the majority of your body weight on the backrest which pushes you into the massage rollers and improves the deep tissues relaxation. If the massage becomes too intense in this position, most massage chairs will allow you to adjust the massage strength from the remote with the press of a button.

What Is Reflexology Massage?

Reflexology massage is a therapy that applies pressure to acupoints throughout the hands, feet and ears. (In the case of massage chairs, most of the effort is focused on the sole of the feet). These acupoints are believed to be connected to different systems throughout the body. It is also believed that applying massage to these points will have therapeutic benefits to the connect system within your body.

Chromatherapy or “Color Therapy” is an alternative medicine method that is thought to influence the body by utilizing colors and light in specific ways. Within massage chairs, many massage chair models are outfitted with blue LED lights on the side of the massage chair that fill the room with a soft blue glow to help set the ambiance and deepen the relaxation. You can typically turn these off from the remote under the manual massage panel.

History Of Massage

We are often questioned about how the massage transformed from a human interaction to being emulated by a chair. Massage therapy can be traced back through thousands of years. Several ancient writings have references to some form of massage, particularly writings found in China, Japan, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome.

Massage Therapy is a form of alternative medicine that has many healthy benefits such as pain relief, injury rehabilitation, stress reduction, treat anxiety or depression, increase relaxation, and lower blood pressure. When you are receiving a massage, you are healing your body through the experience.

Massage styles have somewhat transformed over the years. Reflexology has become very popular and makes claims that rubbing certain parts of the hands of feet will result in a visceral effect on systems of the body. This is a claim that struggles to be backed up by scientific evidence.

What has been proven is that massage therapy releases endorphins into the body. These endorphins stimulate the lymphatic system that helps clear toxins, which has numerous positive effects that contribute to a much better overall sense of well being.

Mechanical massage chairs began to appear in the 1950s and grew rapidly from that time. A wheel and crank system was developed, that would work the massage rollers in the back of the chair. The technology transitioned to a body mapping robotic massage roller system with multiple massage styles pre-programmed into the chair.

Modern massage chairs seem to be coming out with new features and different ways to massage the body. The inclusion of personal technology gadgets, such as phones and tablets, are taking the evolution of the massage chair to a whole new level. It will be very interesting to see what develops next in the massage chair world.

Unboxing Made Easy With Uknead

You have finally decided to buy a massage chair. You accept the delivery and open the box. What greets you buried inside the square cardboard carton is pieces of a chair. You did not plan for your chair to come in pieces. You probably assumed that it comes assembled like a regular chair would. That is not the case with many massage chairs on the market.

Luckily uKnead is going to give you exactly what you expect. When you receive your big square cardboard box, you have the option of removing the top of the carton. Then you can pull the bottom part of the box away from the chair. The chair is not completely assembly free, because you do have to position the cushion and pillow on the seat. But that is nothing when you compare it to the prospect of actually screwing and adjusting pieces into place.

The intent of a massage chair is to make your life more relaxing. Uknead is trying to do that literally out of the box. Their stylish chairs will look great in whatever room you decide to put it in and you won’t be reminded of a horrible assembly experience every time you look at your new chair.

Negative Oxygen Ionizer On The Apex Lotus

Apex has broken away from the standard massage chair model with the Lotus. This chair features the innovative Negative Oxygen Ionizer. Negative oxygen ionizer is fairly common in Japan and throughout Asia, but you don’t tend to seem the feature in massage chairs in America.

The Negative Oxygen Ionizer purifies the air at the microscopic level. The two negative oxygen ionizers are located in the shoulder massager. This location helps provide purified air directed towards the users face. The process is said to help deepen the sense of overall relaxation that the chair provides.

The negative oxygen ionizer is a unique feature that you will have a hard time finding on every chair on the market. It is taking your massage into a direction that many chairs do not seem to follow. Apex is trying to give you a complete full body massage experience and the Lotus is literally going to provide that from top to bottom.

Uknead Lavita Calf Massage Rollers

Phenomenally invigorating shiatsu massage rollers have been placed strategically at the calf & soles of the footrest. The rollers embrace and stimulate reflexology zones in the feet, while a kneading massage occurs in the calves. Once the program is activated the foot massagers rotate clockwise and counterclockwise creating an amazing acupressure massage. Simultaneously the calves are feeling a sensation that mimics grabbing and stroking motions by real human hands while smoothing air compression also occurs. The result is pure rejuvenation of both your calves and your feet.

Lativa does not skimp on the other areas of the chair either. Uknead has literally taken each massage point and focused on how it will benefit your body the most. They have just enhanced it a step further and gone all the way down to the bottom of your feet. Doing this shows an understanding that you can’t start a new day off right if you are only relaxed from your shoulders to your knees.

Often massage chairs seem to focus on the torso and feel as if the feet are an after-thought. That is an understandable process, considering that a lot of your stress is carried in your body. If you are standing on your feet all day, you will really appreciate a chair that has included not only the feet, but the calves as well.

Many message chairs require that you place your feet on top of the footrest. The footrest on the Lativa encases the foot creating a feeling of complete immersion. This is going to make you feel like the massage chair is wrapped around your whole body.

What Is 4D In A Massage Chair?

4D massage technology is popping up on more and more massage chairs. 3D technology allows the massage heads to protrude out from the back of the chair. This is going to give you a deeper and more invigorating massage. 3D technology can occasionally be too intense for a casual user. Many chairs that come with 3D technology also come with intensity adjustability. This way you are still able to enjoy the experience of a 3D chair, while keeping the intensity at your personal comfort level.

4D technology essentially takes what the 3D aspect of the massage rollers and includes the ability for  the rollers to turn. This creates the options for the chair to reach deeper into areas that it would only graze before. A spot that highly benefits from the 4D technology would be the muscles that reside between the shoulders and the spine. If you suffer from a lot of back issues you will really benefit from the 4D technology.

Another great feature of the 4D technology is that it can simulate the human hand. This technology enhances the classic massage modes since it feels more like a person is providing the massage, rather than a massage chair. This also allows the ability for different massage techniques to occur, such as reaching over the shoulders.

4D massage techniques may not always be for the casual user. When purchasing a massage chair you need to keep in mind that a 4D chair can go down to a softer touch. You will never be able to get a 2D chair up to a 4D level of pressure.

Massage Chair Techniques

Air Compression Massage

Air Compression has been found to relieve stiffness and improve blood circulation within your body. An air compression massage is delivered to your body via the airbag system built in to most of our massage chairs. The compression style is also adept at stimulating the lymphatic system to remove toxins from the body. Air compression massages usually have varying intensity levels and can often be targeted using the manual mode controls. In some massage chairs it is also used to promote a stretch massage.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massages is a deeper version of the Swedish massage style that targets deeper muscles and connective tissue. It is especially effective in areas that are chronically tense or contracted, such as the neck, lower back and shoulders. While a Deep Tissue massage does promote relaxation, it is not uncommon for your massage to be a little uncomfortable or painful. The massage strokes work out knots that are deeper within the muscle and are harder to access. Deep tissue massage focuses on chronic pain or muscle tension to provide you with an improved relaxation experience.

Junetsu Massage

The Junetsu massage technique exclusive to thePanasonic massage chair and is a highlight of their Real Pro Ultra series. Junetsu is the Japanese word for “ultra-fine kneading” and consists of one-second circular thumb motions. This technique is used by professional massage therapists all over the world. Junetsu quickly loosens up tight muscles by using spiral circular motions that reverberate down through the connecting muscles to invigorate the body. The quick motions help relieve stress fast and revitalize your muscles.

Kneading Massage

The Kneading massage style also helps bring vital nutrients to the spinal area, and helps to eliminate toxins from the muscle and nerve tissue. Kneading massage is a great way to relieve tension and soreness in the muscles by lifting and stretch muscles. This technique also promotes deeper blood and lymph circulation. Your massage chair will utilize kneading on your back in small circular motions on both sides of your spine.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a great way to improve relaxation and relieve a lot of tense muscles in your feet as well as improving overall well-being. Many massage chairs employ reflexology in the foot rest of the ottoman during the foot massage. Reflexology is a massage style that is based on the idea that application of pressure to specific areas of the foot will promote well-being in correlating areas of the body. This is done by releasing endorphins that are natural stress and pain relievers.

Rolling Massage

This massage style focuses on the muscles right next to the spine by applying a constant pressure with the rollers while rolling up and down your back. This warms and loosens these typically very tight muscles and does wonders to prepare your back for the full massage experience.

Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu massage is sometimes described as the equivalent of acupressure. Shiatsu translates to “finger pressure” and employs stretching, pressure, and rotating to provide a whole body restoration effect. This can reduce stress, muscle pain, anxiety and depression. The philosophy behind a shiatsu massage is quite old and based on the idea that your life energy or ki (chi or qi) flows through the body within many different energy channels. When you feel pain in a certain area, that energy channel is blocked. Shiatsu massage works to relieve those blocks and provide a relaxing and refreshing massage.

Squeeze Massage

A Squeeze massage is great way to alleviate tension in your hip and thigh area. Typically the massage chair will inflate airbags within the hip area to squeeze different areas to help relieve stress and joint pain.

Stretch Massage

Stretching is a great way to relieve knots in muscles as well as loosen up the muscles. Most massage chairs utilize their built in airbag system to strategically pin you into the massage chair so you feel a stretch in the muscles in a specific area. This massage style can help relax your body and prepare you for a deeper massage.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is one of the best known types of massage in the West. Swedish massage is perfect for those who don’t get a massage often and have a medium threshold for pain. Swedish massage uses longer massage strokes in an effort to warm the muscle to release tension and break up knots throughout your body. There are also multiple health benefits to Swedish massage, such as improved circulation, pain relief, and improved joint comfort.

Tapping Massage

Tapping is a series of rapid tapping strokes that stimulate muscles, and connective tissue. Tapping is a great way to remove stiffness, promote blood circulation and break up scar tissue. Sometimes referred to as Percussion massage,

Vibration Massage

Vibration Massage is an old and effective method for removing soreness and improving circulation. Many massage chairs have vibration plates within the chair that deliver a vibration massage with varying and adjustable intensity. Most massage chairs that say they can sync your massage with your mp3 player do so through use of vibration massage.

The Evolution Of The Osaki Os-4000 Series

When you are in the market for a massage chair, it is a safe bet that you will stumble upon the Osaki OS-4000 series. They have an impressive price point and are loaded with a ton of features. An Osaki chair can end up being one of the best choices for you. This comparison is going to help you find out the differences between the chairs in the Osaki OS-4000 series.

It all started with the original OS-4000 chair. The chair was packed with many of the features that you would look for in a massage chair. The price was affordable, which is something that you don’t always see in a massage chair. The OS-4000 has zero gravity, and S-Track massage style and a hefty remote that gave you multiple control options.

Then the OS-4000T came along. The leather of the chair was upgraded and so were the massage rollers. The new mechanical rollers added an impressive kneading massage option as well as reflexology in the footrest. The price doesn’t jump too much between these two, so it is easy to see why the OS-4000T became a best seller quickly.

OS-4000CS appeared with an interesting L-Track style that goes a lot further down your body that the previous S-Track. This way you are going to be massaged from your neck all the way down to your upper thigh. A USB port is also introduced on the OS-4000CS, which adds a high level of convenience to the chair.

It was relatively easy to decide between these three chairs, and then the OS-4000LS appeared. This chair truly is different from the original OS-4000. The extended L-Track is going to give you a more beneficial massage while you take full advantage of the foot massager that is kneading the soles of your feet with the finest reflexology techniques. The adjustable shoulder massage is going to hit all of the spots on your shoulders that other chairs miss out on. This is a very impressive feature as it makes the chair completely conform to your body shape. Other chairs are on a broader spectrum of body shapes. That is compiled with all the other features that were on the previous chairs.

The evolution of the OS-4000 series has not been a drastic process, but when you compare the OS-4000 to the OS-4000LS you can see how each model has changed over time. Regardless of the chair you choose, the OS-4000 series is going to give you an impressive massage experience.

Osaki Os-3700 Leaves Nothing Out

When a chair is going to give you a full body experience you would assume that experience would be for the duration of the massage. If a massage chair is in an upright position it is easy for that chair to hit all the important spots on your body. When you recline the chair into an optimal zero gravity position, often a problem slowly starts to arise. Your arms gradually slide out of the armrest as your body is being laid back. Now you are getting an invigorating massage, while your arms are completely left out.

Unless you have arms that magically grow during a massage, you are going to have this problem with many massage chairs. Thankfully, the Osaki OS-3700 is not one of them. As the chair reclines the armrest will adjust with the movement. The motorized armrests have the ability to move backward and forward about 4 inches. This means that when you are laying back and experiencing a great massage, your arms are still included. This is a feature that many people wouldn’t think about when purchasing a massage chair, but one you are really going to love after you get the chair home.

Comparing Osaki Os-3700 Massage Chair Vs Os-4000 Massage Chair

The OS-4000 and the OS-3700 from Osaki are both going to give you a good massage. When looking at the two chairs side by side one tends to come out on top. This comparison will show you the differences between the two chairs, to help make your shopping experience even easier.

The OS-4000 and the OS-3700 do have some similarities. Both chairs come in a few different color options. Both have lumbar heating in the lower back of the chair. Finally the two chairs both include zero gravity options and body scan features. This is basically where the similarities stop.

We will start with the visual comparisons first. The OS-4000 is a bulky looking chair, while the OS-3700 tends to lean more to a sleeker design style. The remote on the OS-4000 a pretty big piece attached to the side of the chair. A small wireless remote can be removed from the giant remote, but it doesn’t have as many features as the full remote. The remote on the OS-3700 is a slim style with a lot of visual options on it. You can control almost every aspect of your massage from the slim remote, without the need for an additional one.

The OS-4000 features an S-Track system for your massage experience. This style will follow the curve of your spine from your next to your tailbone. The OS-3700 features an L-Track massage system. This will work all the way from your neck to your upper thighs. You are going to get a full body massage from the OS-3700, while the OS-4000 basically leaves out the upper legs.

The OS-3700 has an advantage in the armrests. When the chair moves backwards to recline the armrest moves 4” too. This allows your arms to be included for the duration of the massage. The OS-4000 does not have this feature, so when the chair reclines, your arms will slip out of the armrest. The result is a massage that only includes the arms when it is in the standard chair position.

The chairs are comparable in price, but the OS-4000 is only available as a refurbished model. If you want a brand new chair, then the only option is going to be the OS-3700 in this price category. Compile that with the extra benefits that the OS-3700 has and we basically have a clear winner in this comparison.

Comparing Osaki Os-4000 Massage Chair Vs Ogawa Refresh Massage Chair

Osaki OS-4000 vs Ogawa Refresh

The Ogawa Refresh and the Osaki OS-4000 are two very similar massage chairs with some slight variations. In this comparison we will cover the differences between the two chairs to help making your purchase easier.

Similarities

Both chairs feature a quad roller system based on an S-Track style. Zero gravity with 2 stages, heat and spot/partial massage options are all included on both chairs. They also both feature a total of 6 massage techniques. That is pretty much where the similarities end.

Differences

The OS-4000 has a removable back pad that allows you to make the massage deeper by having your back directly on the rollers when reclined. With the back padding on the chair, you would have to completely stop your massage to remove the padding. This will ruin any kind of relaxation that you have already achieved and essentially cause you to start over.

Neck & Shoulder Massage

The Ogawa Refresh has SmartCurve technology that is going to allow for a deeper neck massage on the standard setting. The Os-4000 has a head pillow with airbags that push down on the shoulders to encourage a deeper massage. Although, you’re still going to run into the issue of using the padding or not. If you are looking for a deeper neck massage the Refresh easily wins this category.

Shoulder Airbags

The OS-4000 has airbags that come around the shoulders. In recent reviews people with broad shoulders have complained that this makes for a tight fit in the chair. The Refresh has shoulder airbags that flare out. This creates more of a space in the shoulder area and will be more appealing to users with broad shoulders.

Hip Airbags

The Refresh does not have hip airbags. The OS-4000 has hip airbags that squeeze the sides of your hips and legs. A compression massage is created that can help alleviate aches in these areas. Some uses feel as if this can get a bit too tight, while others have complemented the system. This is a feature that would be best to experience on a chair yourself, if you are trying to decide to go for a chair that doesn’t feature the option. You may not miss it at all, or prefer to have it.

Color Options

The Ogawa Refresh comes in 3 different solid color options that fall into a very neutral category. They colors are black, bronze and cappuccino. The Refresh would blend easily with many décor styles. The Osaki OS-4000 comes in 4 different two tone colors. They are Black & Beige, Charcoal & Beige, Brown & Black and Cream & Brown. The color combinations can also blend pretty easily with your décor, although they do turn the chair into a fairly bold piece.

Final Decision

The Osaki Os-4000 and the Ogawa Refresh are similar chairs with a few differences. If the hip airbags are not something you are looking for then the Ogawa Refresh would be a better choice. The impressive SmartCurve massage system gives the Refresh an edge over the OS-4000. The Refresh is also a more versatile chair for various body shapes, when the OS-4000 can come across as feeling somewhat tight.

Titan Pro Executive 3D Foot Massager Roller

Many massage chairs are packed with features, but then end up sort of lacking in the foot area. The Titan Pro Executive is not one of those chairs. Titan has created a remarkable foot massage experience on the Executive.

Typically most chairs have 1-2 rows, covering only the toes and bridge. The Titan Pro Executive 3D foot massager has three rows of rollers in the base of the footrest. This creates coverage for the majority of the foot, even including the ankle and the achilles. At the rear of the foot massagers are airbags intended for squeezing of the ankle and heel. The close toe system even has an independent massage feature, something you will have a hard time finding elsewhere. The airbags inflate which creates a compression that pushes your feet onto the rollers. The footrest can accommodate feet up to a size 14.

The Titan Pro Executive is an impressive chair regardless. When you add on all the features that the footrest includes, you are going to have an incredibly hard time finding another chair that is comparable at this price point.

Best L-Track Massage Chairs Of 2016

We have compiled a list of the best L-track massage chairs of 2016. The track on a massage chair is what controls the roller mechanism’s direction. Many massage chairs feature an S-track design that follows the curve of your spine and culminates at your tailbone.

What is L-Track Technology?

The L-track technology is a roller track that extends past the tailbone stopping point of the S-track. The L-track is often referred to as the ‘extended roller track’. The L-track initially follows the same curve as an S-track when it follows your spine. Then it extends to your lower back and upper thigh area. The L-track is very beneficial to people with lower back issues or tight glute muscles.

Ogawa Active SuperTrac

The Ogawa Active SuperTrac is a unique chair. Essentially the SuperTrac that Ogawa has come up with is a combination of an S-track and an L-track. The Active gives you the option to initiate an L-track massage, or turn the feature off. This is a marvelous option when different days may call for different styles of massage. Another perk of the Active is that all L-track chairs will stay in the “L” position and the back cannot recline separately from the seat. The Active can recline into a bed position and still allow you to use the L-track. The Ogawa Active is extremely feature packed, and manages to give you a lot of options that you will not find on other massage chairs.

Titan OS-Pro Summit

The Titan OS-Pro Summit is a massage chair that is really going to focus on your body. Some massage chairs start their massage in the shoulder area, but the Summit will start at your neck. The L-track will then slowly moved down your body and follow the curvature on your spine. Focusing on the lower lumbar area, a heat option can be activated to help loosen up the tight muscle. The L-track will then transition to your glutes, giving your full body a massage experience. Three levels of intensity and three levels of speed can be chosen, so that you can completely customize your massage.

Infinity Escape

The Infinity Escape is one of the most impressive massage chairs that falls in right under $3000. The Escape features a 47” L-track design that is going to increase the total area of your back massage by 30%.  This chair will be an amazing asset for someone that works out a lot, as it’s going to help with all those sore muscles. The Escape also has the ability to help with spinal correction. The chair can grip you in place and apply massage to the muscles next to your spine to help put your spine in the optimal alignment. This is done with the addition of the airbag compression system. The Escape is also a chair that is going to work for everybody, with the width adjustment option. The rollers can get wider or narrower depending on your body size. This makes sure that your massage will not fill too broad or too tight.

Osaki OS-4000LS

The Osaki OS-4000LS is the ultimate upgrade to the Osaki 4000 series. It has taken everything that is great about the previous models and compiled them into one impressive chair. The L-track in this chair features the included option of adjustable shoulder airbags. Some reviews mentioned issues with the widths of the previous 4000 models, and Osaki addressed this issue with the 4000LS. The shoulder airbags can be adjusted up to 3 widths. This makes the 4000LS a very accommodating chair as it will fit multiple body types.  The additional shoulder feature is going to make your L-track massage feel like a deeper massage than what you would have got on the previous 4000 models.

Infinity Iyashi

Infinity really know how to handle an L-track massage. The Infinity Iyashi features a 49” L-track. This chair is going to hit every spot possible with a nice deep massage. The spinal correction system is also present on this chair. It will help align your spine with the airbag compression system. This is a great option if you have been sitting over a desk all day. The Optical body scanning will assure that the chair is going to completely conform to your body. A high tech feature of this chair is that you can control your massage through the ios or android app that is provided by Infinity. That makes personalizing your massage experience even easier.

Osaki OS-3700

The Osaki Os-3700 is a great L-track massage chair at a price that you will not be able to beat. The L-track on this chair is going to cover your body in all the same ways as the other chairs, but also has something that you will not find on other models. The armrest on the OS-3700 reclines up to 4” with the chair. This way when you put the chair in a laying position your arms will still be included in your massage experience. Traditionally, when a chair reclines, the arms will slide out of the armrest. This puts them in an odd position receiving half of a massage that they would get in an upright position. This chair also has an impressive foot massager, resulting in an optimal full body massage.

Titan Pro Executive Review

The Titan Pro Executive has an amazing air compression system and will leave you walking away with a satisfying full body massage.

Neck & Shoulder Massager

The Titan Pro Executive stretches your back, waist, and legs. This is a feature that you will want to use all the time, after you have tried it once.  It uses the 3D roller technology to stretch the upper back and chest.

Deep Kneading Foot Massage
