We think of relaxation as time away on a vacation. However, it is important to have relaxation much more frequently. A great way to do this is with a massage chair. One interesting midrange model is the Sanyo SA 5000 massage chair.
You will find a variety of advanced electronics in the Sanyo SA 5000 massage chair. They have borrowed some technology from sister divisions and incorporated it into this recliner. Some of the technology comes from the factory which makes lie detectors.
There is what Sanyo calls a physical shape sensor. This sensor determines how you are seated in the recliner. If you move during the massage, then this sensor system will automatically adjust the back rollers to your new position.
A massage chair comes with many different programs. There are both automatic programs which run the entire chair. There are also manual massage techniques which you can activate to target specific areas.
Get a full body massage on demand with the automatic massage programs. Simply push one button and you can activate an automatic program providing you soothing relief. This is a great way to just relax in the recliner and enjoy.
This recliner comes with four automatic programs from which to choose from. You can choose stiffness, recovery, relax and fine. These are unique programs which perform a full body massage on demand.
If you want to target a specific area, then select one of the manual massage techniques. This enables you to choose from tapping, kneading, shiatsu and a combination. These are great for targeting specific relief of trouble spots.
Another advanced feature of this recliner is its back rollers system. This is their GK roller system. It has the flexibility to reach over the tops of the shoulders. This is great for targeting the neck and shoulder area.
The SA 5000 massage chair is good for relieving tension in the shoulders. Their GK roller system provides a soothing massage sensation in the shoulders. It is like a grasping style of massage.
Another treat in this recliner is the shiatsu leg rest. There are specially designed airbags which provide a shiatsu style massage. This is good for relieving tightness in the lower extremities of the legs.
There is heat in this recliner, but it is limited to just the bottom of the feet. The heat is used in conjunction with the shiatsu style massage. It is a pity that they did not put heat in other parts of this recliner.
There is an advanced remote control with an LCD. The LCD shows the activities of this recliner when in motion. Various icons are used to show different massage programs in action.
There is also a sub remote used for the stress sensor. This devise reads your perspiration rate as well as your heart rate. From this information, it determines where you have stress in your body.
The remote control allows you to independently control the leg rest and the chair back. Powerful motors are used to recline you back 170. Use the remote control to adjust the angle of the chair just for you.
These are just some of the interesting features of the Sanyo SA 5000 massage chair. As you can see, it is a good way to get massage therapy on demand. Make sure you relax when you are tired with the Sanyo SA 5000 massage chair.
