About the Panasonic EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep
To better accommodate the US market, Panasonic has teamed with American massage chair manufacturer Premier Health Products to design the most desirable Panasonic massage chair ever. Not only will the Panasonic EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?adjust perfectly to both short and tall users, but the back massage has been ergonomically redesigned to offer a stronger, deeper tissue massage, than any other Panasonic mode which is why the Panasonic EP30003 is the one and only the Real Pro Ultra Deep?

True Depth Adjustment - A New Dimension In Massage Technology!
Besides offering more features than any massage chair before, what makes the new Panasonic EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?truly unique is its ability to adjust the depth of which the massage heads extend into your back. By using the electronic intensity adjustment, the massage heads will automatically extend further for stronger massage pressure and retract for less pressure. Choose from 3 levels of intensity (soft, medium, strong). This is an entirely new dimension in massage chair technology. Traditional massage chair intensity adjustments to do not control the actual depth the massage rollers extend towards your back and simply adjust the speed of the massage movements.

496 Square Inches of Massage Coverage
Enjoy industry leading massage coverage for total body therapy and relief. With a rolling stroke length of 30 inches, the Panasonic 30005 Real Pro Ultra Deep?offers 200sq inches of massage coverage in the back, and an additional 296 inches of massage coverage for your hips, arms, calves and feet. Thats 496 square inches of therapeutic massage coverage!

Spot Specific Massage Relief - Junetsu
The Panasonic EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?can be finely tuned to deliver a spot focused massage experience for extra sore regions. With the Panasonic exclusive "junetsu" massage mode, the EP30003 will use tight circular massage motions to penetrate sore muscles. Junetsu, the Japanese word for "ultra-fine kneading,"quickly loosens up tight muscles with a spiral circular motion that reverberates and invigorates down through the muscles to to the surface of your bones.

Advanced Intensity Settings
The EP30003 divides your back into four regions (neck, shoulders, middle, and lower) so you can easily program the chair to focus more on one region and less on another. You can even program the EP30003 to massage harder in the regions you need it to and softer in your sensitive spots!

Reflexology Foot Massage
For the most soothing foot massage experience, the EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?massages with three airbags for each foot and incorporates adjustable and removable plates to add reflexology therapy into the massage experience. This reflexology massage feature stimulates additional acupressure points in your feet, increasing blood and energy flow throughout your entire body.

Acupoints
You have approximately 350 acupoints on your body, with nearly 100 on your back and neck alone. From the soothing palm style of Swedish massage, to deep tissue kneading, to Shiatsu massage, the EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?has a variety of techniques for invigorating these energy acupoints.

Easy To Use Voice Guided Remote Control
With 1117 unique massage modes, learning to use EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?can be daunting Have no fear! After over three decades in the massage chair business, Panasonic has designed an extremely user friendly and intuitive remote control that anyone can learn to use. The remote even has a built in voice guide to help you choose the right programs. And to accelerate your learning curve, Panasonic offers a short video to teach you how to use the most important features.

Advanced Quad-Style Massage Technology
Massage heads that open and close these to create four unique massage styles can be chosen during a massage:

Shiatsu
Swedish
Fist Kneading
Grasping

Grasping is a new feature never before available by Panasonic. Because the EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?can actually extend the massage heads out away from the chair, this new model can reach on the tops of your shoulders and pivot down to massage the tops of your shoulders. No other massage chair can deliver a better massage than for the tops of your shoulders than the EP30003.

Hip, Thigh and Shoulder Stretch
By gently grasping your legs or arms while lowering the calf and back rest, the 30005 Real Pro Ultra Deep?can improve flexibility while simultaneously relaxing the body through massage. Stretching is improved when used in conjunction with massage because massage improves circulation and muscle relaxation. Increased flexibility can reduce risk of injury and improve mobility.

Advanced Body Scan Technology
The EP30003 Real Pro Ultra Deep?will tailor your massage experience to your body by using pressure sensor technology to create a virtual map of your back. The massage you receive is contoured to your height and your spines curve. The "floating" massage heads glide over your back and by using the virtual map, knows exactly where to massage you and where not to.

16 Customizable Programs
You can create your own custom programs which EP30003 remembers for the next time youre ready for a massage. Create up to 4 customer programs for 4 different users.

The EP30003U line comes in two colors, black (EP30003U-KL ) and brown (EP30003U-TL). The only difference between the EP30003U-KL and the EP30003U-TL is color.

Massage Chair Guidelines

Here you have it: your guide to finding that perfect massage chair you always wish you had. That chair that is great for relaxing after a hard day or removing tension after strenuous workouts. But before you dig in, there is some basic information - and misinformation that you will need to know.

There is no question, a massage chairs can be one of the most critical and expensive consumer products in your home. The right chair will help you to relieve stress and back problems, while poor quality chairs will have you gritting your teeth with more headaches after each break down.

10 years or 10 months is the motto we so believe in. A lot of work goes into massage chairs of quality and we show them prevalently on our site. When people ask us "Why these chairs?" we tell them that "These are the ones that will be investments rather than a pain down the road." Cheaper made chairs are made cheaply by using 3rd party parts, thereby eliminating the trust you are getting a factory-certified massage chair. Quality control is lost for the gain of a dollar or more. Granted, this is not the case all the time but with our background and knowledge of the industry, it happens more than you can imagine. We urge you to talk to one of our representatives on ANY massage chair before taking the plunge. We may be able to save you hundreds of dollars in wasted time and and money with our expertise.

Massage Chair Features and Benefits

Since we are going to help you select the perfect massage chair for your needs, you might want to know a little bit more about what they can do. This next part talks about the different types of massages offered on your chair and how these features differ.

All high priced massage chairs use the latest technology to study the finger movements of professional massage therapists and duplicate these motions.

Kneading (Shiatsu) Massage

The main advantage of the Kneading massage is that it both relaxes and invigorates the body. Kneading massage uses three complex movements, such as:

Pressure is applied gently to an accupoint
The pressure is held allowing tension to transfer to the roller
Tension is then released allowing the pressure to leave the system

Rolling Massage

Rolling massage helps to stretch the spine by elongating the muscles that support your back. This relieves pressure on the discs in your back. Rollers massage up and down the spine. This helps to stimulate spinal nerve roots and reduce muscular back pain. The greater the area covered and greater the size of the rollers, the more optimal the massage becomes for increasing overall blood circulation.

Tapping Massage

Tapping massage, simply stated, helps to improve your blood circulation. This increased blood flow has the benefit of reducing muscular stiffness and enhancing movement of oxygen and other vital nutrients through the course of the body. After exercise, this function helps wring muscles free of lactic acid, reducing the overall stiffness of the region being massaged. Some massage chair technologies allow as many as five hundred taps a minute! Sit back and let all the day's stiffness dissipate.

Six steps for finding the right gear for you!

Now that we have talked about your Massage Chair features and learned more about the massage functions, it's time to follow these six steps to truly find you the best gear for you.

Know Thyself - Know the nature of massage you need: Do you have a neck problem, back problem, or lower back problem? Do you need more concentrated massage or a combination of kneading, rolling, or tapping?
Durability or temporary solution: If you need an urgent shiatsu massage, there are cheap rollers for the back. If your priorities call for durability and long term use, you will want a chair that can last at least 5-10 years.
Prioritize- Decide which styles and features mean the most to you. Rank those top features and styles and use those criteria to select the products within your price range.
Visit an online store and a showroom in the mall. Some of the most popular chairs are displayed in malls and if you have a chance, you should try them. Be patient in the purchasing process. As a general rule malls will charge more than online stores. Tax and shipping are involved as is the Mall's store operating costs that have to be made up in your final price.
Research, research, research. Contact manufacturers for additional information on sizes, specifications, and any other information. Study them closely, review tapes, talk to friends, and other experts. Be careful about impulse buys and non-durable electrical component units.
Think about return policy. You may think you will not return your massage chair purchase. But we have all heard that 50% of marriages in America end in divorce. So falling in love is wonderful. But make sure you have the option to return or exchange, or you might end up with a case of buyer's remorse (or a broken heart)!

Massage Chairs

When it comes to selecting the massage chair, forget about more features, more rollers and special features that you do not need. The issues you should consider are comfort, durability, stability, massage technique, motors, quality, and warranty. The most important thing in buying chairs is quality. You want a chair with the best shiatsu massage technique with good quality motors. Motors are as important to your massage chair as an engine is to your car.

Making Sense of Massage Chairs

Selecting your chairs based on your need is a great rule of thumb for choosing your chair. However, the chair is not a cheap purchase and you probably want it to last more than your average consumer electronic product. Here is a primer on selecting chairs.

Motors

Your massage chair motor is the engine of your car. Motors in the chair are important since they carry out the massage. If your massage chair breaks down, the chair becomes useless. You need to investigate the quality- who made it, where was it manufactured and how long it can last. Companies usually outsource the motor. Look for the few companies that make their own motors. Other companies are well known motor makers that make other products with motors such as vacuum cleaners or fans.

Motors manufactured in Japan are known for their durability. These motors also produce less noise than motors made in other countries. You might want to investigate the number of motors in the massage chair. When the chair has independent motors that concentrate on kneading, rolling, and tapping, you will receive a more effective and powerful massage. Furthermore, a chair with more motors can allocate the workload necessary to produce a therapeutic massage.

This produces less wear on each motor, allowing the motors to rest while the active motor provides you the specified shiatsu massage function. When a single motor provides all kneading, rolling, and tapping functions, it becomes more likely to burnout from overuse. The result is a shortened life span for a singular motor over a chair with several motors.

Rollers

There are chairs with 16, 12, 10 or 8 rollers. Is it really "the more the better?" This general rule does not accurately apply to rollers. The more rollers you have cause the size of each roller to get smaller. If a single motor of the chair is tasked with moving 16 rollers it cannot do so efficiently.

It is the quality, size and type of material rollers are made of that determine the massage you will get. Some rollers allow themselves to curve along the body and form up to 50 degree to fit the shoulders, back and other areas. Other do not allow for the curves of your body. Thus, a roller that has the flexibility to suit all body types allows for a better massage than a larger quantity of inflexible rollers.

Adjustments

The massage chair needs to adjust to an individual in order to optimize performance for the individual user. A critical factor in your massage chair is the height adjustment. People come in all shapes and sizes. Some chairs have height adjustment for the rollers range of movement. This allows your rollers to better cover the shoulder, neck and lower back region. The speed of your massage rollers is an important factor for shiatsu massage. A proper massage entails strong and fast massage movements. At other times your back craves relaxing, soft movements.

Some chairs offer strength adjustments for varying intensity. If the chair's initial massage is too strong, we recommend you put more padding in between the roller and the back cover. That process is easy to do. Usually the company you purchase from has an extra back pad for sale and it often costs less than $30. The chair offering you a stronger massage is no problem since you can add padding.

As times goes by most owners want to increase the intensity since the body gets accustomed to the current massage technique and intensity. This process is similar to increasing weight on workout equipment in a gym. There is a problem with a chair producing a softer massage. There is no way to increase the intensity. In other words, there are no means to increase intensity when your body needs a stronger massage.

Neck adjustment can be a critical factor in the enjoyment of your chair. Many people have neck problems. This is especially true for people working in the computer field who are in front of their terminal all day long. Some brands offer you a better neck massage than others, which is why it is so important to try before you buy; or to have the ability to exchange the chair.

Features

There are chairs with speed control but no intensity control. Conversely, there are chairs with intensity control without speed control. Different features can include air massage or roller massage. Air massage involves squeezing the muscle and as a result is not as effective as the better roller massages. Roller massage provides you the best massage technique for shiatsu massage. Cheaper chairs have vibration, or disk rollers instead of large rollers that provide a more therapeutic shiatsu massage. Leather chair or non-leather chair is also an issue.
Generally, leather chairs are expensive to produce and less enticing for long-term use for massage chairs due to special care for roller movement. If the user does not use leather care oils, the rollers can crack the leather from the repetitive stress. For this reason, leather chairs provide less of an advantage over synthetic leather. This situation is similar to outdoor gear for camping where cotton is not as functional as nylon or Gore-Tex. Cotton is great for home use but not for the intense conditions of the outdoors. Similarly, synthetic leather massage chairs last longer than leather massage chairs because of the exposure to the repetitive wear and tear of the rollers.
