Saunazone- Massage Chair & Infrared Sauna Sales

There must be quite a few of us who are guilty of having tried out those Massage Chairs at HomeTECH, HomeMark and Verimark shops etc.
But have anyone here actually liked them enough to buy one?
If you have a massage chair, then what did you buy, why did you buy it, and how do you find it now.
Thanks.

When I was in Lagos I spend 2 hours in a airport trying HomeTECH massage chairs for FREE to ease my pains from walking, traveling and general fatigue. They have some features, but I’ve never had the urge to go out and buy one. The main factor is the fact that I have no money, but the kicker is that the amount I’d actually use it, it would be way more cost effective to sit in a chair in an airport  for 10 minutes a week then to actually go out and buy one and have to fit it in my room somewhere.

I bought my wife a HomeTECH massage chair for Christmas - she was in the late stages of pregnancy and had quite a sore back. Specifically, I bought this one: http://www.saunazone.co.za/massage_chair.htm
When she opened it, she tried (quite badly, I might add) to feign enthusiasm. But, once she’d tried it out, she swore by it - it really did help her a lot.
It feels a bit painful for the first few times, but once it’s pummelled your back a bit, it does actually seem to loosen it up. And, it’s really helpful for getting out specific knots. I don’t think it’s really designed for use multiple times a day - you’d probably injure yourself if you tried to use it like that. It does, however, give a decent deep tissue massage, which may not feel good but does help get rid of painful knots.
It’s not for everyone, but it really did help my wife (and me, to a lesser extent).

My dad bought the HomeTECH SX801-A from SaunaZone Cape a few months ago, he bought it cause he loves massages and would love to go for massages every day but can’t due to work commitments. Well he uses it everyday and i think he loves it. My mum loves sleeping on it cause it’s so comfortable. I personally love it, cause for some reason i love it when it hurts when it massages me.

• Skin elasticity

• Prevent Osteoporosis

• Better bone density Micro-circulation

• Body remodelling

• Muscle strengthening

• Cardio circulatory system

• Anti Stress

The NEW GENERATION Crazy Fit Machine system is the most scientifically superior method of muscle toning and body reshaping. The system transmits a fast sequence of vibrations specifically designed to activate and stimulate the muscle walls of the body.
This allows direct stimulation of the muscles , without producing oxidative stress, which is the typical after effect of intense muscular activity or exercise to the point of producing lactic acid, which is the cause of the disagreeable feeling of ‘hardening’ or stiffening that often follows muscular exercise particularly in unfit people.
10 Minutes equals 2 hours of exercise! Instead of spending 2 hours training, you can now get the same effect in just 10 minutes with the new Crazy Fit Machine exercise and massage system. Step out the office or at home onto the Crazy Fit Machine without the hassle of getting into exercise clothes or rushing through the shower afterwards.
Medical advantages of using the Crazy Fit Machine massage system: Psycho-physical advantages.

• Weight loss (slimming and reshaping the body);

• Anti-cellulite through the promotion of the of the blood flow to the problem areas;

• Doubling of blood circulation after training resulting in the body carrying off waste products much faster thereby enhancing recovery;

• Significant hormonal effects from training (increased testosterone and growth hormone and decreased cortisol ‘stress hormone’);

• Enhances skin and tissue elasticity;

• Increase of peripheral microcirculation;

• Toning muscles and enhancement of lymphatic drainage;

• Body remodelling;

• Muscle strengthening;

• Total disengagement of the cardio-circulatory system;

• Prevention of osteoporosis through the maintenance of flexibility in the bones. (Better bone density);

• Prevention of venous afflictions of chronic blood insufficiency to the heart, paralyses and atrophy;

• Rehabilitation in case of sport injuries as may be needed to injuries associated to the Achilles’ tendon or knee lesions;

• Anti-stress and relaxation;

• Enhancement of space and time perception;

• Superior sports training to enhance explosive power and flexibility associated to the Achilles’ tendon or knee lesions.

If we want to achieve these types of results then exercise has to involve more than walking, running or biking. Weight training is the answer, but is it for everyone?
Everyone can benefit from it but not everyone is able to do it. The Crazy Fit Machine system was specifically designed to address these problems and more, making it the ultimate solution in your weight loss goals.
The Crazy Fit Machine system stands upright on a base which incorporates a moveable plate that the user must stand on and select the program level that he/she would like to do. Operating smoothly and without provoking alteration to the heartbeat or promoting muscular fatigue, the footplate oscillates at increased levels to enhance and stimulate blood flow and tone the muscle. The system is very simple to use, simply select the program of your choice and stand of the footboard. The safe and effective approach.
Question: What do the following have in common?

- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Osteoporosis
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Poor circulation
- Sports injuries rehabilitation
- Multiple sclerosis
- Stroke
- Cerebral palsy
- Frozen shoulder
- Fibromyalgia
- Post injury / post rehabilitation

Answer: Exercise has been recommended as beneficial for people with these conditions.

Whatever the condition or goals the Crazy Fit Machine system has been shown to produce similar results to regular exercise in less time, while providing minimal stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons. The Crazy Fit Machine system is the ideal solution for those that can’t handle the stress of conventional training or lack the time. The Crazy Fit Machine system’s effect on muscle, bone and blood vessels makes it a safe and effective exercise alternative, or an effective complement to a regular training program to accelerate and enhance your results.
How does it work?

The movement of the vibration plate simulates the body’s natural ‘stretch reflex’ [tonic vibration reflex]. This is similar to the knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a doctors office without thinking of it, your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction leading to your leg ‘kicking’ out. With the Crazy Fit Machine technology these strong muscle contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate. Due to the involuntary effect on muscle contraction, nearly 100% of the muscle fibres are recruited. Compare this to conventional training where there is only on average 40% muscle recruitment. This benefits the rehabilitation patient looking to add stability and strength to all muscles around their joints, to the athlete looking to maximise strength gains.
The gentle rapid contractions allow the muscle to work as a pump in introducing blood to even the smallest blood vessels. This leads to the ability of the body to carry off waste products much faster, leading to increased peripheral circulation.
What is the age limit to Crazy Fit Machine massage?

There is NO upper age limit. We recommend following general guidelines on resistance training for adolescents. Taking this into consideration we recommend an age limit from 12 years onwards.
Are there any contra-indications?

Whole body vibration has already been used quite extensively and there have been no significant side effects or injuries noted. In essence the Crazy Fit Machine system is as safe as conventional resistance training.
Aging and the Crazy Fit Machine massage exercise:
Improvement in chair rising test, indicative of improvement in muscle power.
Improve elements of fall risk and health – related quality of life
Ability to promote ambulatory competence [ improved walking] in elderly woman
Beneficial for balance and mobility in nursing home residents with limited functional dependency
The following is a list of contraindications that must be kept in mind prior to an individual starting to exercise on the Crazy Fit Machine system:
- Acute inflammations
- Acute joint disorders
- Acute rheumatoid arthritis
- Serious cardiovascular diseases
- Fresh surgery wound
- Recent joint implants
- Heart valve disorders
- Pregnancy
- Epilepsy
- Recent thrombosis
- Tumours

- Maximum power: 1.5HP
- 50 levels of intensity
- Maximum user weight: 150 kgs
- Frequency: 0-28 reps/sec
- Dimensions: 840 x 710 x 1,180mm
Go on, make the change your body is so desperate for! It is never too late to start. Please email info@saunazone.co.za if you have any questions or would like to order a machine.

Every year Las Vegas is host to the largest consumer electronics tradeshow on the planet. The Consumer Electronics Show or CES consists of manufacturers of every category of electronics. My interest was to see the very best in massage chairs. Although there were many massage chair vendors, I was interested in the manufacturers of the top products and present what I found.

One of the exhibitors which I found was a Japanese company called Family Inada. Family Inada was displaying the HomeTech SX801-A. The Dream Wave SX801-A was the winner of the 2009 CES innovation award. The HomeTech is a very advanced chair with some very innovative features.

The HomeTech SX801 has more airbags (28) than any massage chair that I have ever tried. There are airbags that surround the calves, buttocks and also ones that can massage your entire arm. The air massage was impressive around the buttocks area and was effective in relieving tension in the neck area. The arm massage was very effective and provided a high level of compression I was expecting.

The HomeTech SX801is named for the advanced seat design which is incorporated into this recliner. The seat pivots to provide ergonomic support for your spine and buttocks. The seat will rock in place in a wave like movement. This helps to reduce the stress built up on the spine and relax the lower torso. This technological marvel comes in an egg-shaped design which is a bit funky for most households. All this technology comes at a price, which for the HomeTech SX801 was $2,500.

Another impressive high end massage chair is produced by Fuji Medical. The Fujiiryoki recliner provides a full body massage and a shoulder press. The shoulder press is firm and provides great relief from the sides of the body during the massage therapy. The Fujiiryoki has an FDA device listing and was touted as a medical chair. This advanced therapeutic massage recliner retails for $5,000.

The massage techniques are very invigorating and relieving. The combination of good massage to the back with the rotation of air compression from the feet, calves, shoulders and seat provides for a thorough massage experience. The design of the chair is modern with black and silver colors.

Now, having tried the most expensive chairs at the CES, I was interested in how the Omega Montage Premier would compare. I liked the neck massage of the Sogno and the shoulder compression of the Fujiiryoki. The Montage Premier, however, gave a stronger massage and penetrated deeper. Another note was the supplemental items such as music, full body heat and a traction system which the Montage Premier had but were lacking in the others.

Trying massage chairs at a tradeshow with a million people around takes you being able to relax and forget your surroundings. This is where the Montage Premier shined. I slipped on the headphones and let the soothing tunes take me away from the crowds. The Montage Premier recliner then warmed me, stretched me and gave me a relieving deep tissue massage. I felt I found the right chair and at $4,500, it was the best deal at the show.

I also surveyed the entire show for Sanyo and Panasonic who have some great massage chairs. Neither of those companies were displaying their massage chairs this year. They did have some impressive Big Screen TV’s with crystal clear images. There were an assortment of other massage chairs, but they were just at the show to sell you a massage chair. I was afraid they may not be at the show next year as they seemed a bit too high pressure to buy.

There were an assortment of other massage chairs, but I am a bit wary of these companies as they only sell at shows. Some of these chair companies I have never heard of and they probably wont be there next year. I asked these companies if they had any retailers or other distribution to confirm that they were fly by night companies. I wont bother to mention them here.

Some of the high end chairs are pretty outstanding and the technology being built into these massage chairs is equally amazing. If you are looking for a really high end chair, then the HomeTech SX801, Fujiiryoki and Montage Premier are your best bets. Finding the HomeTech SX801and Fujiroiki to try may be difficult, whereas the Montage Premier is in some major retailers. You may need to call the manufacturers to find where they are available to try.

The CES is held every year in Las Vegas in early January. It is the worlds showcase for consumer electronics. The attendance was around 130,000 people with over 2,800 exhibitors. It is so big that it spills over from the main convention center into the Sands and the Hilton Hotels. If you want to see the best massage chairs on the market, then make your plans on attending the 2010 CES show.

At many fancy gadget stores, you’ll often find at least one massage chair waiting for you to test. Moms, kids, or just about anyone will take advantage of a free massage. For some, the new massage chairs even look like Darth Vader’s bathtub.

But are they buying the chair? Why would anyone want to buy a massage chair when you can go to a masseuse and get a quality massage. There are some compelling reasons why one would get a massage chair.

Massage chairs allow you to relax in your own home without any distractions. The main advantage of this would be the privacy provided with a massage chair. Sometimes individuals do not feel comfortable going to a masseuse or do not want to take off clothes to a stranger. By having the chair in one’s home, a person anxious about public massages would be able to feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Massage chairs are sometimes pricey. They could cost anywhere from a few thousand rands to even over fifty  thousand rands. Ostensibly, the cost is steep. But the cost is a one-time cost. Think about the cost of a masseuse in a nice spa or massage organization. Each individual massage could run you around R250. If you were to have a massage 15 times a year, you’ll be spending R3,750 a year. A nice massage chair could pay for itself in a few years. As long as the model is a good quality chair, you can expect the chair to be available for many years.

You can also benefit by not worrying about making appointments to the masseuse. If all of the sudden you feel that your muscles are tightening or feel physically stressed, the massage chair is there for immediate use. The massage chair doesn’t make you wait. In fact, you’ll find that a lot of spas are booked on prime times. There could be some considerable work finding the right time to balance with your active lifestyle.

Not all masseuses offer clients more than one style, such as Swedish or Shiatsu. In a lot cases, the masseuse is a specialist in one or a very few styles. Today’s massage chairs provide more than one style. Since the massage chair rollers can mimic almost any hand pattern, it can give you more than one type of massage style. Importantly, this is all dependent of the type of chair. But as more of these instruments become advanced, the chairs will offer limitless options.

Physical benefits of massage chairs can match massages from a real person. You can benefit from back and neck relief, muscle loosening, better blood flow, fewer muscle spasms, improved back posture and much more.

It also allows you to customize certain motions and patterns for a unique massage experience. You may not be able to do that with a massage therapist. Moreover, if you go to a spa, you may not get the same masseuse that provides the massage that you like. At least with a massage chair, you can count on getting the same type of massage that you enjoy.

Massage chairs are a great way for individuals to enjoy massage with privacy, customisation and greater flexibility. The chairs will allow you to benefit in many ways including a better physical body and lifestyle.
