Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the main thing that's new on this year's Real Pro Ultra?
A: First, we massage more area. We have added more air capacity, including shoulder and
extended waist massage. Air is up above 400 square inches (460 to be exact) and back is also
up to 200 square inches. Both of this is more than any chair on the market.
Second, our back massage does two new things. The massage heads can open and close,
which allows us to do both grasping and fist style massages. And since our massage heads can
protrude up to 4", our grasping system is more effective than any chair on the market. Also, we
are the only chair to have "junetsu" massage, which means ultra-fine kneading. The typical
massage head takes 4 seconds to make a complete kneading motion. Panasonic has
developed motors which can change direction 600 times per second, quietly, and therefore can
make small circles while giving a strong massage. These one second circles are the Junetsu
motion. By making these circles, the chair is able to replicate the circular kneading motion of the
thumb, which is used by professional massage therapists to massage muscles deeply (down to
the bone) and also quickly loosen them up. This, combined with deep tissue acupressure into
acupoints (Shiatsu) combined with surface long stroke kneading (Swedish) are the main
techniques used by massage therapists to work the back. Only this chair does all three.
The back massage also has what we call "float" technology, which allows the massage heads
to pivot more. This means you can better imitate the force and maneuverability of a human
wrist, allowing for smoother massage. It also allows us to go wider in the whole back area,
massaging gently over the middle and wide back area where we did not go before.
Our motors, always excellent, are even more precise in their ability to stop, start, and change
direction and speed. This means precision in imitating what human massage therapists do.
We have also added new massages, such as the "stretch" massage for relieve of muscle
tension in the thighs and lower back. Another stretch massage has been added for the
shoulders. Each arm is grasped, the chair reclines, and the shoulder is gently stretched out in
three separate reclines of the chair. This can help prevent shoulder stiffness, increase mobility
(especially in older users), and even help improve posture preventing shoulder rounding.
Q: What does The Real Pro Ultra Massage chair do?
A: Delivers realistic massage over more of your body than any other chair. The main things that
a customer should be asking is how much massage is in a chair, and how diverse can the
massage be.
Also, electronic controls and precision is important when you are adjusting your massage.
Panasonic offers such features as "repeat" which allows you to continue whatever the massage
is doing at that moment. Panasonic offers an "auto width" button (in the manual controls on the
right side) that allows you to gradually increase the massage heads by ½ " increments, so that
your entire back is experiencing the massage you want. And the new pivoting ottoman has
solved the problem of offering effective bottom foot massage as well as accommodating taller
customers.
