Everybody needs some product for de-stressing, unless they want to face some serious health problems in the future. Some need a CD with a relaxing music while others feel relaxed by using perfumery and then there is another category that likes to go for massages. All those with the last option of going in for massages have a more convenient option now in the form of HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Foot Massager. You will find it different from other foot massagers. It has very sleek looks and is very unlike other massagers that are hand-held, or those spas with vibrating feet that provide little relief.

The reason being its innovative design that offers you the facility of   Touch Toe Controls! No more you will be required to bend over to access control knobs.

It offers you  an endless series of multitasking. You may use it while talking on phone, reading your favorite magazine or even while tutoring your child.

The HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Foot Massager  has been awarded low marks for its durability and efficiency by some of the reviews. As I started using it just a few weeks ago, it will not be fair on my part to comment on its durability. As regards efficiency, I think it deserves at least six out of ten.

Well, there is none denying the fact that no foot massager can beat the experience of a massage provided by a human touch.  Nevertheless, the HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Foot Massager offers the next best way of massaging your feet at such a low price.

Panasonic has introduced a new series of modern urban massage recliners. Here’s a review of the Panasonic EP 1285 model massage chair, I hope you can get a step closer to your buying decision after getting some more information from me. It seems finally Panasonic has been delivered the message that a massage chair could be made to look like a piece of other furniture around home. That is a nice way of looking at simple gadgets like a massage chair.

As any Recliner may have many moving parts and a good number of electronic parts, it’s imperative to have a detailed study of the warranty clause that is as good as an insurance policy. Make sure that you have ample of warranty coverage to protect you from getting stuck in case of break-downs.

Panasonic provides you with one-year coverage on parts for The EP 1285. It also offers one year of on-site service or in-home service. This is a very helpful feature of warranty coverage as it is better to have it serviced at home rather than taking it out somewhere. The rollers in the chair back are warranted for a period of three years. That’s the basic warranty coverage. But, you have the option of going in for an extended warranty.

You will be excited by the new designs being offered in this series of modern urban massage recliner. One of the major complaints about these types of chairs had been that they were difficult to get jelled with the rest of the interior designs of most of the households.

This recliner is programmed to offer nine basic massage modes. Here’s a list of the massage modes: Swedish, chiropractic, kneading, Hawaiian, percussion, compression, tapping, shiatsu and rolling massage. Isn’t it thrilling to have such a variety in a single recliner? Primarily these are all manual massages that may be directed to specific areas to suit your convenience.

Included in this chair are pre-programs too. Pre-programs imply automatic massage programs that control the whole chair. This allows you to get a full body massage by the mere push of a single button. There is a feature that allows you to adjust the chair to your shoulder height, thus facilitating for a better personalized massage.

The leg rest is fitted with an air ottoman system. It provides massage to cover both the calves and the feet. The bottom portion of the leg rest allows you to stake your legs through. The air ottoman has 12 airbags that go to provide a better coverage of the calves and feet.

The EP 1285 is provided with a leg stretch. The leg stretch stretches out the lower body by making use of the leg rest that is raised horizontal and the airbags are activated to hold the feet. Then, the leg rest is slowly lowered to three different positions, thereby causing the lower body to stretch out.

This model from Panasonic incorporates Swede-Atsu urban massage technology. It makes use of two to four firm rubber massage heads. These heads provide relaxation of muscles of hand by pressing its heels and gently stroking the palm. This gives quite a realistic feeling of being massaged.

To sum up we’ll say that:
- Panasonic has indeed improved upon the styling and design of the chair. That makes it easier for the buyer to carry out adjustments to make it jell with the rest of the interiors.
- The massage is delicate and effective.
- The air system in the leg rest is effectively helpful in improving blood circulation in the lower legs.

It would be worthwhile to check out on Panasonic if you are out to buy a massage chair.

I have a confession to make here. I was troubled  by problems associated with my back and I lack the means of providing the much needed back massage. for myself.  I know what needs to be done and I could adjust the movements of my hand or finger accordingly to provide that desired relief. Unfortunately I lack that sense of touch that massage therapists are blessed with and I get tired of holding my arm in that weird way. So I carried a long tiring research on massage chairs and was rewarded for my efforts in the form of the Human Touch massage chair line.

Human Touch has continued to be in business for nearly 30 years.  This is the one robotic massage chair that has been tested and acknowledged by the American College of Chiropractic Orthopedists as a suitable supplement to back-care therapies.

It was in 1979 that the company introduced its massage products and in 1985 they came out with the Human Touch massage chair. It was a ground breaking idea. This was the first robotic massage chair that incorporated a contoured tracking system designed to follow the S-curve of the spine. This was followed by the introduction of a computer controlled multifunctional massage system in 1987. Further innovations enabled them to set industry standards by 90’s with quad-roller technology. Human Touch is the outcome of their research and development efforts in the fields of massage therapy, stress management, orthopedic and chiropractic medicine. No wonder that the medical profession acknowledges their massage technology and products by incorporating those along with other treatments for spinal disorders and back pain.

The technology involved with The Human Touch massage chair very much follows the massage techniques practiced by professionals taking care of spinal and back disorders. These include:

*Compression: It gives the feeling of hands being pushed firmly on the muscles around the spine with an inward thrust on the spine.

*Kneading:  Here the thumbs are firmly pressed down on either side of the spine while moving in a circulatory manner.

*Rolling: This simply comprises of gentle motion of pressing firmly on either side of the spine alternately. This loosens the muscles and prepares them for a further deep massage. It provides an excellent means of relieving tension.

*Percussion; It feels like fists quickly tapping on back muscles. Now, that’s the technique which I too can easily follow and consider it a good way of revitalizing the entire back.

It will not be out of place to add here that a Human Touch massage chair offers a whole body experience. It not only massages your back but calves and feet too.  The calf massage that it provides extends from the ankles and goes up to the knees, thus improving circulation of blood by making it move upwards from the ankle to the knee. It is quite prompting for a beginner.

The description would be incomplete without a mention of the foot massager very appropriately placed at the foot of the Human Touch massage chair. It gently squeezes your feet to bring relief by facilitating increased circulation of blood.

And finally, these chairs come in very cool designs. You would wonder how the calf and foot massager works. Certain models of Human Touch massage chair allow the chairs to recline. It means that the calf/foot massager can be pushed under the chair so that the chair appears like a normal recliner when in an upright position but on being in an inclined position it pops up and may be rotated to approach the calf and foot massager.

Need I be hesitant to confess that Human Touch massage chair holds my future, not only would it offer a great therapy for my husband’s back, but it would benefit our marriage too!
