Endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association

Panasonic massage chairs are the first chairs to be approved by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), the largest professional association in the world representing doctors of chiropractic. In fact, this distinction represents the first massage chair endorsement given by the ACA. Recognizing the many health benefits of regular massage, the ACA found that Panasonic massage chairs provide outstanding deep-tissue relief, which can temporarily relax tense muscles, offering an ideal complement to chiropractic manipulation.

Recreates the Movements of a Professional Massage Therapist

Our Float Mechanism simulates the movements of a rotating wrist for an amazingly life-like massage.

8 Basic Massage Modes

Using two or four firm rubber massage heads, the Panasonic Swede-Atsu® Wave massage chair accurately simulates stroking with the palm of hand, pressing with the heel of the hand, kneading with thumbs and pressure with thumbs. It also covers a total of 135 square inches - including the neck, shoulder and back. There are eight different massage modes in all:

• Kneading
  A gentle in-and-out motion using four massage heads. This function is especially effective on your neck and shoulders. Try both kneading modes for a different kneading pattern and sensation.
• Rolling
  Muscles are gently stretched as the massage heads move up and down along the back. When "regional" is selected the heads will move in a 4-inch range. When "full" is selected, the heads will move in a 27-inch range.
• Tapping
  Invigorating sensation of hands rapidly tapping on your back muscles. Try both tapping modes for a different rhythm.
• Swedish
  Pressure, using four rollers to simulate the palms of hands.
• Shiatsu
  Strong deep-tissue pressure and stretching using two massage heads.
• Compression
  Firm rubbing motion across the back. Two modes are available.
• Hawaiian
  A gentle rubbing motion across the back.
• Percussion
  Deep-pressure massage that stimulates acupoints.

Dual-Use Air Ottoman System

Our Dual-Use Ottoman System allows for a more complete, contoured lower body massage:

• Calves/Shin
  Kneading and loosening of the shins and calf muscles.
• Feet
  Reposition your feet in the air wells for a soothing foot massage.
• Stretch System
  Works to alleviate stiffness in your lower back, hips and thighs. How does it work? The air system in the ottoman squeezes the legs while it lowers and raises in 20 increments.
