Medical research and modern technology have come together to produce massage chairs with incredible, life-like features. The top massage chairs are engineered to deliver personalized massages tailored to the individual's needs. The best chairs on the market have multiple luxurious attributes while retaining a quality massaging capability, ensuring maximum efficiency and comfort.

Optima Deluxe Massage Chairs

The Optima Deluxe Massage Chair is elitemassagechairs.com’s best-selling model. This chair features massages that target the neck, back, calves and feet. The chair is said to have “life-like movements” and can be programmed with body scanning technology to fit the physical needs of almost any body size and shape. It has 11 different power settings, heat therapy to increase the efficiency of the massage and removable arm rests to customize the design of the chair. It also has the ability to be synced to music so that the chair’s massage action matches the rhythm of the user’s choosing.

Panasonic Massage Chair EP30005

The EP30005 is part of Panasonic’s Real Pro Ultra Deep line. It has been engineered with grip massaging capabilities, so that the massage apparatus feels like a soothing grip from an actual hand. Unique pressure sensor technology allows the chair to create a virtual map of the back. This chair also features the Junetsu, or “ultra fine kneading” massage setting, which is based on an energizing technique used by massage therapists. With the Junetsu option, there are 1,117 different massage settings. It also has full-length leg and foot massaging abilities as well as a virtual memory program so that the user can program the ideal massage and use it again later.

The Elite ZGi22 Zero Gravity Massage Chair

NASA helped to engineer this chair so that it would simulate a zero gravity massage. According to elitemassagechairs.com, this relaxation wonder actually reduces back compression and pain, reversing some of the effects of time and gravity. The chair reclines a full 190 degrees to achieve an inversion effect, which can help remove toxins and decompress the spine. Even with this feature, it's space-saving design makes it easier to store than other reclining chairs. It also doesn’t have the uncomfortable plastic coating that many lower-quality chairs do, but features non-stick synthetic leather and a unique design to complement other furnishings.
The Elite features four massage functions: kneading, rolling, tapping and compression, which simulates the types of massage performed by human massage therapists. Calf and foot massage mechanisms help reduce swelling and increase circulation.
This chair comes with a five-year warranty, longer than warranties offered by many other massage chair manufacturers.
