Massage chairs like this are great. I've used two different models for a while and it beats a petit woman walking on your back. (sort of)

There is one thing though, see that leg thing/squeezer...that's a torture device. One of the chairs I use has that leg thing and it %#^@ hurts! It just uses airbags to squeeze until you yell and still won't let go. It would be great if there were rollers in the leg feature and not Python's.

A Stiffness Detection Sensor eh? So if I lie face down on it, I'll get a real massage parlor experience?

If you're so stressed out that you require this much fancy technology to massage you after a long day at work, might I suggest a career change?

F'real.

I once knew a woman who paid $150 for a foot soaker/massager thingy and used it every day after work, also spending lots of $$ for special soaking salts and such. Thousands of dollars a year I'd wager.

All this instead of just getting a good pair of shoes.

Oh. come on guys! Can you really say "Intelligent stiffness detection sensor" with a straight face? I'm just trying to figure out how one lies prone, instead of supine as in the picture.

Having full body muscle and nerve tension with various areas of tendonitis and no official diagnosis from various doctors, the closest being "rheumatism", this chair looks like a godsend. Too bad it'll probably cost way too much for way too little deep tissue treatment.

If you're so stressed out that you require this much fancy technology to massage you after a long day at work, might I suggest a career change?

Or, at the very least, a different kind of "Intelligent stiffness detection sensor" - maybe even one that induces stiffness!

"Sanyo's Massage Chair Knows Where It Hurts"

After buying one of these, I'd say it would hurt quite a bit in the wallet area.
