Sanyo massage chairs are made in Japan, a country where massage has been taken seriously for hundreds of years. Not only are they manufactured in Japan, but also their research and development divisions are based there. Since Sanyo is such a large and diverse company, they are able to take technologies from other areas, such as motors, and apply them to their development of massage chairs. Lets take a look at some of these innovative technologies that are applied in their Sanyo massage chairs.

• Zero-Gravity Position 1 – with a single push of a button, the higher end Sanyo massage chairs automatically adjust to the perfect natural position for the body. But it isn’t just a simple recline, the backrest, seat and foot rest all adjust in relation to each other to help you relax. This also puts your body in the ideal position for a massage, especially for the lower back.

  This position is called zero-gravity because it was originally used by astronauts during take off. This reclined position reduces the gravitational pull, and thereby stress, an astronaut feels during take off. This increase in stress that is exerted on their body comes from the Earth’s increased gravity pull as the rocket launches from Earth. The reclined position distributes that increased gravitational pull more evenly across their entire body.

• Zero-Gravity Position 2 – this position on Sanyo massage chairs is just one more push of a button and reclines you back a bit more; but more importantly, your legs are elevated to a higher position to help stimulate blood circulation in your legs. To further improve circulation, you receive an air only massage through 24 separate air bags, which gives a stretch and compression massage to you lower back, hamstrings, calves, ankles and feet.
• GK Rollers – this is a special squeeze massage for the neck and shoulders. The massage rollers actually reach up to 6″ out to “grip and squeeze” your neck and shoulders, using a jointed massage roller that helps it to feel just like an actual hand massage. I think this is a great feature, because I always wondered how a chair could give your shoulders a proper massage, a problem that Sanyo has addressed with this solution.
• Stiffness Detection Sensor – this feature in the upper end Sanyo massage chairs is truly revolutionary. Using the same technology as found in lie detectors, by putting your fingers on a special pad, the chair can identify the tense areas of your body through changes in pulse and perspiration when the rollers reach different areas of your body. The chair then automatically adjusts the massage program for the various degrees of stiffness it detects throughout your body.
• Multi-Point Leg and Foot Shiatsu – This leg and foot massage gives a deep massage, with air bag compression, to relieve stress in your feet, ankles, calves and legs. Many Sanyo massage chairs also offer heat to promote better circulation.
• Physical Shape Sensor – these unique sensors adjusts the massage rollers to accommodate various body types and sizes. This also includes an adjustment on the leg massage unit to fit people of different heights.

These are just a few of the great and innovative features that Sanyo offers. Some of their other great features include a very comprehensive and easy to understand remote control, many preprogrammed massage courses, and various massage speed settings. All of these great features add up to a very relaxing experience that you can have in the comfort of your own home with any of the upper end Sanyo massage chairs.
