The lowdown on massage chair technology

But with time people became more educated and interested in the massage chair benefits. That’s why companies started adding more features to singularise their products. From Shiatsu massages to heat therapy, chromotherapy, and vigorous Yoga stretches, these companies spared no effort in producing top of the line massage chairs for every budget.

Technology keeps evolving, so these chairs have to keep up to cater to an increasingly demanding public. “We are living in the exciting times,” said Robin Hamilton from Wellness Wires website. “I can’t wait to see what massage chair models are next in line.”

To be honest, neither can I. We already see a huge technological advance, so I’m excited to see what the future has in store. Let’s start with three of the most interesting and effective ones.

Ogawa values technology, innovation, and customer service, which is why they patented a lot of their technologies.

For instance, the Vario Motion roller movement is said to target all those difficult-to-reach places on your body, like the nape. They also feature medical-grade biometric screenings, to adapt the massages to your needs after measuring vital stats like oxygen levels or blood pressure.

“Master Drive AI massage chair is far surpassing its competitors such as Luraco and Ogawa Panasonic,” says Jill Roberts, editor at Wellness Geeky! 

Here’s why…

You can test this four-hand massage technology by trying the uLove2 massage chair by OSIM, which is supposed to offer a very life-like massage, much like what your therapist would do.

Scratch that and replace it with what two therapists can do.

If you try old massage chairs, you’ll notice that their rollers feel very robotic and mechanic, whereas a therapist’s hands knead and roll according to your pressure points and needs.

OSIM has tried to incorporate this level of adaptability and realness into their uLove 2, so people can feel rejuvenated and completely relaxed. Here’s how:

VR Technology is patented by OHCO, a company that takes pride in its innovative and hi-tech Shiatsu massage chairs. OHCO worked with Esqapes to produce the world’s first massager aided by Virtual reality.

This technology is supposed to increase the relaxation effect as well as your health benefits because the VR headset will transport you in ten different places.

You will have a holistic sensory experience, including smells, sounds, and temperatures, to immerse yourself in the massage.

These exotic environments are the result of careful research. Wellness and health are holistic concepts, and you already know this if you’ve tried getting a massage with a toddler banging against the door of your neighbors getting DIY-ing their home.

Here’s why VR Technology works in massage chairs:

Now that we’ve reviewed these technologies, aren’t you excited about the future of massage chairs too? AI, virtual reality, personalised and predictive medicine, plus computer vision, will make our massage chairs safer, more effective, and ultimately more human.

With that in mind, which massage chair technology sounds best for your needs? What would you choose? I already have my heart—and budget plan set on a VR chair!
