<p>The Real Pro Ultra series is Panasonic&#8217;s next generation in their massage chair line. This series incorporates some of its newest technology and functions shared across models. We will take an in-depth view of the EP-30004 Panasonic massage chair. This review evaluates and opinionates on categories such as features, functions and warranty coverage.</p>
<p>Panasonic is a household name in electronics, so you do not have to be concerned about having your warranty honored down the road. We like to caution potential massage recliner buyers to also go with a reputable brand. There are many small importers that offer cheap massage loungers with great warranties that are never honored down the road. With that said, Panasonic will be there down the road.</p>
<p>So what does Panasonic give you for warranty coverage? With the EP-30004 you get 3 years on parts and 1 year on labor. You do get in home technician service for that first year as well. This is perhaps the most generous part of the warranty. The 1 year labor is just too short. Most manufacturers give you 3 years on the parts. Maybe you can get an extended warranty, but you need to find out.</p>
<p>There are some outstanding new features incorporated into the Real Pro Ultra massage chair series. The EP 30004 has both a lower body stretch and a shoulder stretch. There is also a new massage technique called Junetsu. The Junetsu massage technique literally means ultra fine kneading in Japanese. The Junetsu massage technique uses small circular motions and a one second of thumb-like firm pressure. The effect of this massage is to reverberate through the muscle and penetrating to the surface of the bone.</p>
<p>The Real Pro Ultra Series has quite an array of massage therapies. The EP 30004 is no exception with 4 automatic massage therapy programs and 8 manual massage therapy programs. The 8 manual include junetsu, shiatsu, kneading, Swedish, stretch, tapping, rolling and grip. You can also select from 5 manual back courses. These cover different regions of your back for excellent coverage and relief.</p>
<p>You can also create self-programs to target specific regions with particular massage techniques. These are fairly simple to create. For example, you can select the lower back and a deep tissue massage. You then select the time duration and the massage intensity that you desire. You can also save these programs. It will save programs for up to 4 different users. There is also a voice guidance system for those less inclined to read through the user manual to figure these things out.</p>
<p>Now if we take a look at the lower body, we will see that Panasonic takes care of it with an air massage system. Air massage systems use airbags and compression style massage therapy. This is very effective to loosen tight muscles. Air bags provide great flexibility and can easily cover large muscles of the body effectively. The compression massage is very soothing and relieving as your muscles relax. There are also stretching capabilities which can elongate the shoulder and legs.</p>
<p>We will say that the style of the chair is very sterile and industrial. This unfortunately is a Panasonic trait. Function over form one might say. Anyway, it is certainly functional. The EP 30004 has the arm massage concealed underneath a lift up arm rest pad. Open it up and slide in your arm for some invigoration. At least they got this right. Other than that, one ergonomic feature is an extendable leg rest up to four critical extra inches for us Americans.</p>
<p>Overall rating for us is an A-. We like the Junetsu massage and the air massage for the hands. The arm is weak because of the angle that the arm rest tilts up. The warranty needs a little more beef. The massage therapy is strong and effective. There are advanced features such as voice guidance and memorizing self programs. If you are checking out massage chair recliners in this price range, then use the EP 30004 as the benchmark to beat.</p>

<p>As a sensory organ, the human skin is very responsive to the surroundings. The most common type of response may be in the form of skin irritation. The appearance of bad skin texture is somehow demoralizing. On the other hand, it is very possible to manage them and come up with a fair skin tone. This article is primarily based on how to remove a mole at home. The possible instructions have been discussed in the paragraphs below.</p>
<p>The first course of action to be administered is utilization of apple juice. The juice ought to be extracted, and then applied at the spot, three times a day. This should preferably be done in the morning, noon and bedtime. As time progresses, the dark spot will commendably decrease in size and then fade away.</p>
<p>To prove the fact that plants are a positive indoor remedy, the use of dandelion root is possible. Normally, this plant contains a whitish liquid when cut. The best and most effective means of application is three times a day. Once this has been implemented, the results will be evident. When this liquid is applied on the infected area, it will be possible to curb the disorder.</p>
<p>Another plant material that can be utilized is the pineapple juice. For the sake of positive results, it works best during the night. You should apply it along the face at night. This is done before bed time. It will not do you any harm going to bed when applied along the face. As a matter of fact, it is a recommended step. At dawn, wash it gradually. With no time at all, affirmative changes are bound to be noticed.</p>
<p>A prominent source of potassium is apples. When it comes to feeding mode, the use of potassium is recommended. This facilitates the eradication of this disorder. Ensure that you consume it at least thrice a day for an improved skin tone.</p>
<p>The use of garlic is also positive. The procedures involving the use of garlic needs one to bisect it. After that, tie one half to the infected segment using a clean bandage. During covering, ensure that it encircles the spot. The major reason behind this policy is to ensure that it has covered the whole region fully. This provides a complete healing process that is effective. This mostly applies during bed time. The removal of this attachment should be done the following morning.</p>
<p>Garlic contains sulfur. The sulfur juice is meant to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin and fight the microorganism responsible for this infection. If by any chance this step is followed twenty four hours a day, the rate of healing will be faster. In other words, the more time allocated, the faster the healing process.</p>
<p>The ultimate tips on how to remove a mole at home is by the use of a fig tree. The whitish secretion released when cut into two helps in correcting this disorder. Like other plant remedies it should be applied on the affected area. These steps save you money.</p>

<p>Massage therapy is probably one of the oldest methods of healing and rejuvenation. Its roots can be traced back to 2000 BC where it was used by the Romans. It has been used as a method to help ease aches, pains and relieve tension in the body. With the advance of technology, massage chairs are now available which include many massage techniques as well as supplemental treatments for wellness.</p>
<p>Reduce Back Pain: back pain is one of the most commonly reported occupational injuries in the United States. The muscles of the lower back become stiff which leads to discomfort. The flexibility of these muscles needs to be restored to help reduce the incidence of back pain. Massage chairs have a number of techniques which are used to help elongate the muscle and soft tissue areas. This helps to restore their prior flexibility.</p>
<p>Shoulder &amp; Neck Massage: Many people have tension and stiffness in their shoulders and neck. The muscles become tight and tense. A kneading massage is used to help loosen the tight muscles of the shoulders and neck. This provides a side to side squeezing motion which is very soothing and relaxing.</p>
<p>Shiatsu Technique: this massage technique is famous for using acupoints to help the body relax. It is also a very invigorating type of massage. It helps to improve the circulation throughout the body. It also uses acupressure massage to stimulate the acupoints and help with overall relaxation.</p>
<p>Reflexology Style Massage: This type of technique is very effective. Massage chairs come fully equiped with reflexology nodes built into the foot wells of the leg rest. These nodes will gently push up into the trigger points of the feet which helps to induce relaxation to its corresponding part of the body. This is also very relieving for the feet as a compression massage is also given which squeezes the feet to help reduce tension and stiffness.</p>
<p>Compression Massage: Air compression massage is used to provide a gentle squeezing action to the larger muscles in the body. Generally it targets the arms, hands, legs and feet. The air compression is run from a compressor which activates specially designed airbags throughout the recliner.</p>
<p>Stretching: Many of the better massage chairs contained a stretching system. These stretching systems are usually for the lower body. The feet are held in the leg rest using airbags. Next the leg rest is raised to its top position. It is then lowered to a number of different points. Each point helps to stretch out the legs from the hips to the ankles.</p>
<p>Application of Heat: Heat therapy is popular in sports medicine to help reduce swelling and enhance blood circulation. Many massage chairs are now incorporating heating elements to apply heat to different parts of the body.</p>
<p>Music Players: The massage chairs that provide the absolute best massage environements come with built in MP3 players. A USB stick can be plugged into a port in the chair which will play MP3 files. Slip on the headphones and cut out the ambient noise. Let the music take your mind off its worries. This really helps your body to reduce tension and stress.</p>
<p>These are some of the major components that you should consider when looking for a massage chair. These recliners are integrating more therapeutic treatments in order to enhance the overall massage therapy. Make a list of the most important features and make sure that the massage chair you are considering meats your minimum requirements.</p>

<p>There are many massage chair is now available. You can find many different manufacturers with offerings at set price levels. With so many options to choose from, sometimes it is difficult to navigate to find the best massage chair. The most noted manufacturers of massage chairs are Panasonic, Omega and Sanyo. These companies have a reputation for high quality and reliability. We take a look at their best chairs to determine which is the best massage chair.</p>
<p>One manufacturer that has been around for over 30 years in the massage chair market is Panasonic. Panasonic has a new line of high-end massage chairs. This new line is the Real Pro Ultra.</p>
<p>With Panasonic, you can count on solid features and reliability. The Real Pro Ultra sports a new massage technique. This is the Junetsu technique which is ultra fine kneading. This is a deep penetrating massage technique.</p>
<p>The EP 30004 massage chair has eight manual massage techniques. Although this is a wonderful variety, some of these do not seem to penetrate well enough. They seem a little too light and superficial to get some of my tighter muscles.</p>
<p>The Real Pro Ultra massage chairs by Panasonic have automatic programs for your one touch convenience. The remote is also programmable and can record up to 4 different user programs. It is what you would expect from Panasonic.</p>
<p>Another contender for the best massage chair is the Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair. The DR 7700 massage chair is a zero gravity recliner. This means that it will recline you back to better distribute the weight off of your spine.</p>
<p>We found the physical shape center was a much better future than the stiffness detection system. The physical shape center will actually measure your position in the chair. If you move during the massage then this information is relayed to the massage program for adjustment. This seemed more beneficial than a stiffness reading which then guided the program.</p>
<p>These stiffness detection system works off the same technology as a lie detector. It monitors your upholstery and also your perspiration. You must cup your hand over a mouse like devise for it to take your readings.</p>
<p>The LCD screen of the DR 7700 massage chair shows the areas it has detected which are stiff. These areas are then inputted into the chairs computer and prioritized. The massage chair then systematically works through these detected areas.</p>
<p>I have to give Sanyo great for trying with a feedback system in their massage chair. The stiffness detection system is a great first attempt at the massage chair being able to detect where to direct the massage. I hope to see this technology become better refined as time goes on.</p>
<p>To round out the selection for the best massage chair we have the montage premier by Omega massage. This is the high-end luxury massage chair from Omega. Omega incorporates many therapeutic features in addition to strong and effective massage therapy.</p>
<p>The Montage Elite by Omega comes with an arsenal of massage therapy treatments. There are five themed programs, six manual massage courses and four manual massage techniques. This massage chair also comes with other therapeutic features in addition to massage therapy.</p>
<p>Omega has equipped the Montage Elite massage chair with many supplemental therapeutic features. You will find a lower body stretching system. They also have a MP3 music player for relaxation. This I found interesting that both Sanyo and Panasonic did not offer an MP3 player. I have always found that music helps you better relax and gives you a more effective massage treatment.</p>
<p>When looking at the Panasonic, Sanyo and the Omega, we found that the Omega Montage Elite provided aid more effective massage treatment. The quality of relaxation was better with the music player. The level of penetration of the Montage Elite massage chair was more invigorating and relieving than the other two.</p>
<p>You should really find out more about the <a target='_blank' href="http://www.massagechairwarehouse.com/">Best Massage Chair</a> brands available anywhere. We have top models from Sanyo, Omega and Panasonic which are the top manufacturers of massage chairs today. We only carry the <a target='_blank' href="http://www.massagechairwarehouse.com/">Best Massage Chairs</a> so you can find the right one for you. You will find courteous salespeople who are experts in massage chairs for many years.</p>

<p>I was lucky enough to take some time to go to Las Vegas for the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show or CES. The CES has every conceivable electronic device imaginable. I was interested in checking out the latest and greatest in the world of massage chairs. I was able to try a number of massage chairs and share my findings here.</p>
<p>One of the exhibitors which I found was a Japanese company called Family Inada. Family Inada was displaying the Dream Wave Sogno. The Dream Wave Sogno was the winner of the 2010 CES innovation award. The Sogno is a very advanced chair with some very innovative features.</p>
<p>The Dream Wave comes with an advanced air massage system. This massage chair is loaded with air bags. In addition to the normal assortment for the legs and buttocks, the Sogno comes with air bags for the arms and the neck area. I thought the arm massage was a bit weak for my personal taste. I did, however, really like the air bags for the neck area. This chair was effective for relieving my stress in the neck region.</p>
<p>The Sogno has an advanced seat that actually rocks in place. The seat will pivot and provide ergonomic support of your back and buttocks. This was a relaxing position for the spine. The look of the Sogno is a little egg-shaped in design which may limit where it can be placed. It was also priced at $6,000 making it a very high end chair.</p>
<p>I did get to try the most expensive massage chair at the CES Show. The $8,000 Fujiiryoki massage chair was by far the most expensive. The Fujiiryoki massage chair has an FDA device listing and was being billed as a medical chair. This massage recliner comes with a shoulder press massage. The shoulder press is powered by an air compressor which activates airbags to squeeze both shoulders with a compression massage.</p>
<p>The Fujiiryoki chair also has an air massage for the lower body and for the arms as well. The high end Fujiiryoki chair has been out for 2 years and is by far the most expensive at $8,500. The massage was fairly thorough, but the chair was a bit hard when you are just seated in it.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I also tried a variety of massage chairs form all sorts of companies. I tell you this is hard work. Some of these chairs are poorly designed or have ineffective massage therapies, so I won&#8217;t name any names here. There are always companies that are out for a quick buck. I always ask the company if they sell to retailers. If they don&#8217;t then I am always concerned with warranty problems down the road.</p>
<p>The 2010 CES show was certainly impressive. It attracts over 130,000 people and they were out in force. I was able to get to try the best massage chairs on earth at one place. The best massage chairs were the Montage Premier, Sogno and the Fujiiryoki. These are all solid chairs with some amazing massage therapy and technology. These are the cream of the crop from the 2010 CES show.</p>
<p>The CES is the showcase of consumer electronics and is every year in Las Vegas. This consumer electronics show has almost 3,000 vendors spread between 3 convention centers. It is huge! It is held in early January. You can always count on finding the top manufacturers in every category of consumer electronics. Book early as this show will fill up all those amazing hotels.</p>
<p>The CES Show is certainly the show case for the Top <a href="http://www.massagechairwarehouse.com/">Massage Chairs</a> in the World. You will see a showcase of all the best the world of electronics has to offer.

<p>It is a known fact for that there are a lot of unwarned men who find the cycling sport addicting to the extent that they do it at multiple times every week, even making it a form of fitness activity through stationary bikes. It is quite a far fetched thought in their minds to prepare with some level of caution with regards to the activity since they are really enjoying the activity a lot.</p>
<p>This word of warning could be given a form of validity through the strong conclusion from the studies done which points the practice of extreme cycling or use of stationary bikes with the incidence of impotency among men. True, there might be a lot of additional factors which contribute to the disease, but the studies done with it could be traced largely to cycling.</p>
<p>The group of experts who conducted the study came up with findings that bring forth the validity that the penile artery in men is affected by the constant pressure and compressed forces that it receives during the activity. It was actually a statement received in the 1980&#8242;s which was keen on making the factories of stationary bikes to make their products more male crotch friendly in the light of this issue.</p>
<p>The fact is, there are plenty of men who could attest to the dangers of extended use of such fitness equipments, instances which is quite valid to consider for other men to take extra caution. A particular example would be the case of a man in his late fifties, Greg Jackson, who has no prior sexual and impotence problems in the past and originally just wanted to lose weight. It is quite sad that his sexual life was not a hot topic to talk about after ten years of such faithful fitness regime, his penis lost its erection ability. After a talk with his physician, he was told that he had a restricted penile artery.</p>
<p>What every man should know is that his penile artery is in grave position for injuries whenever he would consider sitting on that bike seat especially, when done for a couple of hours. This is what typically what happened with the case earlier.</p>
<p>However, it is fortunate to know that there are still some things that could help men prevent this problem. Especially in terms of using stationary bikes, men could purchase additional seat padding and take a key position when sitting on that bike seat.</p>

<p>If you suffer from constant, dull pain, muscle tension or chronic pain, then many regular massage techniques are just not effective for these conditions.  In these situations a deep tissue massage may be just what the doctor ordered.  A deep tissue massage penetrates beyond the superficial layers of the muscles to get to the root of the pain or discomfort.  Muscles have long flexible tendons, but can breakdown and become shorter and less flexible causing pain and discomfort.  A deep tissue massage seeks to elongate these tendons to restore their inherent flexibility.</p>
<p>After performing exercise, you may notice your muscles become stiffer.  Exercise breaks down the muscle tissue making the tendons shorter and more fibrous.  That is why it is good to stretch muscles before and after exercise.  While stretching elongates the whole muscle, massage targets smaller regions for restoration.  A deep tissue massage seeks to elongate and stretch the tendons to increase their elasticity and flexibility.</p>
<p>If you are a team member of a professional sports franchise, then your routinely obtain deep tissue massage.  This is known to help healing form injuries and to increase range of motion of muscles.  The heavy workouts cause muscles to breakdown and become tight.  Loosening the muscles regains their former flexibility.  However, not all of us have access to a massage therapist.</p>
<p>Studies show that deep tissue is effective for relieving muscle pain, tension and anxiety.  Since the daily stress on our bodies is continuous, the treatments are only truly beneficial when received on a continuous, recurring basis.  A one time treatment is not a one-time cure all.  To get daily pain relief, the treatment must be given with sufficient frequency.  This is where a deep tissue massage chair can be a tremendous asset.  There is an amazing variety of potential massage therapies to target areas for pain relief.</p>
<p>Massage chair companies like Omega Massage and Panasonic have advanced deep tissue massage technology.  These companies offer advanced programs to provide effective daily relief.  Additionally, they offer full body massage in their massage chairs.  These chairs have the capability to stretch you, apply heat and even help your relax with music.  Immerse yourself in relaxation as the massage chairs provide for your every massage therapy need.</p>
<p>Massage chair companies like Panasonic and Omega Massage develop massage chairs to help relieve certain pain conditions.  There are many ailments that plagued us.  Simple things like using a mouse over time can cause carpal tunnel syndrome.  Although using a mouse is small movements, these small repetitive movements cause considerable pain and discomfort.  The Omega Montage Premier Massage chair has an air compression massage just for the hands and forearm.  This provides relief be helping to restore flexibility in the muscles.</p>
<p>Before running down to the store and buying a massage chair, make sure that your doctor recommends a deep tissue massage.  Although deep tissue massage is effective, it may not be right for you.  Deep tissue penetrates more thoroughly which could cause some pain or discomfort the next day.  This is just your body telling you that the massage penetrated thoroughly.  Your muscles have been stretched, elongated and restored.</p>
<p>To get the full benefit of any massage treatment, it must be performed at a regular, sustained interval.  If you exercise regularly, then you should receive massage regularly.  Each action like exercise, requires an equal an opposite counteraction like massage therapy.  Life is about balance.  We know the balance is always changing, so too must the counter balances.  Obtaining pain relief is a counter balance to the source of the pain.  The healing process is a natural reversal of the damaging process.  Look to integrate massage therapy into your routine with a massage chair recliner.  They are actually very cost effective in the long run.</p>

<p>If you golf, then you know that warming up prior to playing is an important prerequisite. Warm up consists of proper stretching to elongate your muscles and to increase the range of mobility of your joints. It is important to loosen tight muscles and get them prepared for your golf game. This helps to improve your performance and to lessen the chance of injury. Massage chairs have incorporated many important massage therapy functions that can help prepare you for your next golf tournament.</p>
<p>Golf is an interesting sport. It is viewed by many a low impact, since golfers ride carts or only walk. As opposed to sports like soccer where you need to run. However, golf requires repetitive motions. The repetitive motion of the golf swing can impact the entire body. The swing requires a large degree of motion to accomplish properly. The repetitive swinging motion can cause back, shoulder and neck pain. This is especially possible with little to no warm up.</p>
<p>The cause of your back or shoulder pain may be from injury or from improper warm up and warm down prior to strenuous activities. Simple movements done on a repetitive basis can cause a breakdown of the muscle tissue causing it to be less flexible. Warming up and down helps to increase the flexibility and elasticity of the muscles. Using a massage chair recliner helps to loosen your muscles, enhance your blood circulation and increase mental alertness.</p>
<p>If you back muscles are not flexible, then your swing may suffer accordingly. Think of the motion of teeing off. The arc that the golf club needs to make is a long range of motion. You have to position your feet, shoulders and head correctly to get a good, consistent swing. Everything is related.
