If You Want The Best Robotic Massage Chair You Should Buy Japanese - By: Robin OBrien

Robotic massage chairs are becoming more popular every year. This increase in popularity is largely because of the genuine therapeutic benefits many people get when using one. Unfortunately, many chairs offer no therapeutic value at all. If you want one that has real therapeutic value then you need to buy a shiatsu massage chair and it should be Japanese.

Until quite recently a massage chair was just an armchair that vibrated. While some found this type of chair to be relaxing it offered no real health benefits. But, in recent years we have seen the introduction of the shiatsu massage chair and its ever increasing technical design and features.

Shiatsu is a holistic form of Japanese massage where the emphasis is on the body's acupressure points. This form of massage has been found to help alleviate a whole host of ailments and conditions.

In order for a chair to offer genuine shiatsu it must be intelligent enough to locate the acupressure points of the person sitting in the chair. As each person's body shape is different, the rollers in the back of the chair must be accurately positioned before the massage begins. Cheap models of chairs allow for the roller to be moved manually to target the areas need. But, how many people can claim to be professional therapeutic masseur or know where their acupressure points are? The manual alignment of rollers is unsatisfactory.

The best robotic massage chairs are now full of sophisticated technology. These chairs come with body shape detector or optical sensors that will first scan the length of a person's back, locate the acupressure points and then automatically adjust the rollers to the correct alignment. It is only chairs that do this that can truly claim to be shiatsu massage chairs.

There are many models on the market but if you're looking for the best, you need to look at those that have been designed by Japanese companies.

But why buy Japanese? Because, without doubt, they are the market leaders. The companies were founded and have survived in the most competitive market place. The Japanese take robotic massage chairs seriously; an astonishing quarter of the population owns one! The fierce competition in Japan has pushed the sophistication and reliability of Japanese brands to where they are today and well beyond what non-Japanese makers are able to produce. Any consumer seriously interested in 'the best' should only consider Japanese brands.

Every single new feature that has been introduced has come from a Japanese manufacturer. Features such as, kneading and rolling mechanisms, air bags, 3D rollers, automatic body shape detection, synchronized music and massage, to name a few. A Japanese chair will almost certainly contain more features, massage options, more sophisticated hardware and software than non-Japanese chairs.

Japanese brands may not be cheap but that's because you're paying for the technology that must be incorporated in to the chair is if it's to administer genuine shiatsu. You should expect to pay a minimum for $1,800 for a shiatsu massage chair.

There are many Japanese companies to choose from, including Fuji, Sanyo, Fujikura and Inada. Each offers a range of chairs to suit budget and user feature requirements. But, whichever brand you choose, you should choose Japanese if you truly want the best robotic massage chair.
