Review Of Omega Massage?s New 5000 Deluxe Massage Chair

There are so many features and spoiled rotten bonuses in the Omega M-5000 Deluxe Massage Chair, which you might have a hard time getting out of this chair. Starting with the overall appearance of this handsome chair, down to the technology and ?extras?, there are enough treats to spoil just about any person who wants to be spoiled.

Genuine premium Ox hide leather covers this chair beautifully to allow the softest, most comfortable seat in the house. In addition, an ergonomically designed dual headrest pillow accommodates for people with different body types, thus making the massage session more effective for that individual.

When you sit down in this chair, the technology will scan your body shape and weight against the chair to customize the massage track length and roller width according to your own body type. With a massage track that strokes a 28 inch length, which is a few inches longer than the average human spine, you will get your body worked from your neck down to your pelvis. An issue I have with a lot of other massage chair recliners is that they don?t massage the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine and between your pelvic bones, in the back), which is a common area of complaint for low back pain sufferers.

Because this chair scans your specific body type, you cannot specify a lower or higher shoulder height if your determined height does not suit your preferences of the area that needs the massage most.

In addition to the basic massage feature of working up and down your back, the Omega M-5000 Deluxe will also work your neck and shoulders, relieving common fatigue and pain most commonly found in people that do computer work or stationary work. The auto feature of this massage technique allows for a precise pinpoint treatment to those common ailments.

And as the massage works its way down your back, it also works your waist and low back more effectively. Many massage chairs tend to miss this area, or cannot effectively work this region. But low back pain is the most common reason people see a Doctor for back pain, and is estimated that 4 out of 5 people will deal with low back pain at some point in their life. That?s practically every person. The targeted pressure points from this feature are effectively relieved, allowing stress and tension to dissipate from that region of the back, leaving you feeling improved and relieved of this most common low back symptom.

You can also recline this chair from 115 to 175 degrees to really sink into the chair. The seat of the chair is not considered ?oversized? so as the chair reclines, the seat space is minimized. This chairs design overall is not accommodating to larger people, with the measurements and technology only suiting a person 200 lbs or less.

With a total of 6 rollers and 5 pre-set sessions to work your back, neck, shoulders, and waist/low back- it seems enough of a chair at that. But that?s not all. The Omega M-5000 Deluxe also works your thighs, buttocks, calves, and feet.

3D Air Pressure for the lower body is customizable for your tolerance, as well as 2 pre-set programs for the calves and feet to effectively use reflexology and pressure points to relieve common symptoms of fatigue and stress in the lower body. Nodules in the feet are utilized when the air bags are activated, stimulating acupressure points. No other massage chair uses both air and nodules in this area as effectively together.

Omega chairs boast the use of Japanese-made parts, which are assembled in China, instead of Chinese or Taiwanese parts that have a reputation of wearing out quicker. The ratio breakdown using cheaper components is the primary reason that chairs need repair or maintenance work.

With extra features like a pop-up tray on the side of the c hair for convenience, a holder for the remote to keep it still accessible, an MP3 player that is compatible with windows 2000/XP and headsets, all of these features are added for the same reason: To increase your ability to relax, therefore maximizing the benefit of a massage for overall health and a stress free life.

The only ?knock? against the Omega 5000 DLX, if you can call it that, is that it is a relatively new chair, not as well known as the Interactive Health or Panasonic massage recliners. But, to put your mind at ease, Omega offers a whopping 5-year warranty, unparalleled in the massage chair industry. By the way, the warranty also includes a 90-day in-home service warranty the minute your chair is up and running in your home or office.

Knowing Your Massage Chair

After a hard days work, sometimes you don’t have the luxury to go to a therapeutic masseuse to relieve aching muscles or stressed joints. But a good massage is available and waiting for you at home with a massage chair.

What is a massage chair? The massage chair is a comfortable leather or comparable chair that can massage your body from head to toe. Like a masseuse, the massage chair is capable of providing various massage techniques such as Shiatsu and Swedish massage.

Massage chairs are made of parts that can replicate hand motions of a masseuse. The heart of the massage chair is its motor. It serves as the power behind the nodes, rollers and adjustment functions. The motor must be running in order for the chair to massage you. For buyers, it’s important to have a good quality motor with a warranty. The life of your chair depends very much on the motor.

Besides the motor, there are other essential pieces to the chair. The nodes and rollers are the parts that emulate the hands. They vary in size and provide more of the pinpoint specifics of massage. They can even target parts of the back or other body parts.

Although the older models vibrate, today’s massage chairs provide more complex movements. A massage chair can knead, roll and recline. Kneading is a process of lifting tissue or pulling away of tissue. The kneading process for a massage chair is very similar. It replicates the hands rubbing the back and body.

The massage chair provides a rolling motion as well. The rollers are essentially small wheels moving up and down on the back and spine. Most massage chairs come with at least eight rollers; some high as 18 rollers, depending on how elaborate the chair is. However, the effectiveness ultimately comes down to the quality and motion of the wheels. The wheels and motion will determine the type of massage that one will get.

With newer models, seat adjustments are a standard. A person needs to feel comfortable first before he or she can enjoy the benefits of the massage. So the chair must be able to adjust to any shape and size to perform well. Moreover, chairs now have more joints and parts that can reach places on every part of your body like a real massage. Consider getting a massage chair with lots of different adjustments if you will have more people using the chair.

Newer massage chairs provide options beyond just adjusting the chair. Massage chairs come with a remote that will allow you to set the speed and intensity of the massage or dedicate a massage to a specific part of your body. If you’re looking for a harder massage with faster motion, you can simply change the settings on the remote. Having problems with your lower back? The settings of most new massage chairs will allow you to focus the massage at the lower back.

Massage chairs are complex pieces of machinery that can do a lot to replicate an actual massage. Since the chairs come in so many different forms, knowing how they work will help you find the right chair for you.

Effective Massage In A Massage Chair

Most people have never used a massage chair and have no idea how they function. They have been around for years and are very sophisticated machines in the form and shape of an arm chair. Many of them are produced in Japan. It is really great to just sit in the chair and get the massaging.

Inside the chair there are a number of motors, often 4-6, and a computer program that runs the program you choose. The whole body can be massaged within 20 minutes, sometimes less and sometimes more.

What kind of massage can you get? Let me give you some examples.

Air arm massage is a feature on some massage chairs. This is especially great to relieve weariness from the arms which are working restlessly for operation of a personal computer or a cellular phone, during works, domestic chores, leisure and so forth. The air massage mechanism is provided on the armrest and it will move naturally with the change of the body angle caused by the reclining movement. In this way the stiffness and strains in the wrists and back of hands will be relaxed thoroughly.

Depending on how the backrest is set, the function of the arm massage will work differently. The backrest can be in an upright position, slightly reclined and completely collapsed.

The air massage option is also available for the lower part of your legs. It massages with repeating cycles of compression of the muscles in an oblique direction and releasing. This stimulation assist an important function, to return the blood to the heart.

As the shape and form of our bodies differ it is vital for a good massage chair to have the option the adjust for that. Now there are chairs that automatically scans the persons body and use the data collected to change the tools, often small wheels that role and push, inside the massage chair.

Movements of hands and whole arms are reproduced to realize complicated and stereoscopic kneading up and kneading down massage. There are even more complex functions added in some programs of a massage chair. For example a function that combines the stretch massage, which resembles pressing with hands to push up first and then down, with the simultaneous application of the kneed, tapping and wavelet.

The most common functions of massage chairs are vibrations in the seat and backrest. Pleasant intermittent vibrations can be enjoyed simultaneously with the massaging. It promotes blood circulation and relieves strain from muscles.

What is the price of a massage chair? As always it depends on the functionality you want but prices range from just over $1,000 USD up to $8,000 USD. Many companies buy or rent a chair and have it for the personal. This is appreciated as a very efficient way to help the staff to stay healthy. There are studies showing that the number of sick-days will go down considerably when the massage chair has been installed.

An usual effect when a new chair is installed is that people will line up and try the massage. A schedule is almost always required and many use it frequently to get rid of the problems a stressful work situation sometimes creates.
