Best Massage Chair! A REAL REVIEW of a Massage Chair With All The Bells and Whistles || Under $5000

[@TheWellnessDoc]

People have found me online and contacted me by phone to ask questions about chairs, and quite frankly I've enjoyed the conversations. So before buying a massage chair make sure to book a free chair chat with me here calendly.com/thewellnessdoc/massage-chair-chat Whether you just started looking at chairs or are at the overwhelmed stage... I'm here to help!

[@kenwilder2735]

Do you sell these chairs? I actually tried buying this exact (down to the color) chair a year ago. After paying for it, the manufacturer called me and explained that they had received my order for shipping, but they now only had the brown color in stock. That was a non-starter, and I unfortunately had to cancel my order. The only other domed chair is now the OP-AI X-rest 4D, which is around $10K everywhere you find it. I finally just purchased the Alfine 4D Black Knight. It hasn't arrived yet, and I'm a bit nervous because I've never heard of the brand, nor have I had a chance to try it out before purchasing it. It was about $3K, which is what the Escape was a year ago. Thoughts?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Vigor :) It's a great deal right now too! If you are looking for chairs in the 4k range, I would book a call with me. Many chairs have fallen into this price range so I could give you a custom update. calendly.com/thewellnessdoc/massage-chair-chat

[@MelissaDiMaggio]

Great video! I bought a medMassager for my husband because he has symptoms of neuropathy after hip replacement. We also have a Migun bed. I am considering one of these chairs that does everything but not sure if I want to invest so much when we already have the other 2 pieces of medical equipment. The migun bed is like chiropractic, shiatsu, acupunture and massage all in one. I would love your feedback.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I actually love Migun beds, they are pretty rough though, and really disregard the arms and feet. Right now I'm recommending a different chair for under 5k, and have other options for less. Migun beds have a good resale value if you can get someone to do a local pickup so maybe sell that if you decide to get one of these full body chairs. . If you have any further questions feel free to email me at [e-mail]

[@WAVMOB]

Is there a foot rollers for the calf in feet on this model? How does it compare to the new High Point 4D model that just came out? Appreciate your help. Great review looking forward to your reply. Cheers!

[@TheWellnessDoc]

HighPoint is the Ultimate Chair and comes with the ultimate price tag. It's like comparing a Rolls Royce and a Mercedez Benz. Both are great chairs. The biggest advantage of the HighPoint is the kneeding motion of the calf airbags, the control unit is touch screen (and voice controlled which I think is a silly feature.). The HighPoint also has an SL track where the Encore has an S track only. So if you have money to burn for sure go HighPoint. If you want a comparable to Encore, I think the 1st Class in the same ball park. If you need any.other guidance feel free to email me. I'll be able to give you better pricing than listed on other sites.

[@SK-zg8ji]

How would you compare this against the OS champ for the following? Trying to decide between the two. - Back massage - Leg massage - Shoulder massage Thank you !

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I don’t think I’ve ever sat in the Champ actually. But here is the chair I’m going to suggest for you when we chat tomorrow. You can let me know what you think then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip6VoImJmZlpi9Efeature=shared

[@BeefandBarnzy]

How does your favorite chair compare to titan pro vigor 4d?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Love the Vigor, most people who want high intensity go with this chair, and it has 32 airbags inside of the chair. Guaranteed to raise your average by 12 pins 😎. I can give you better pricing if you reach out by email. [e-mail]

[@rickcazares7823]

Hey Doc, I am also a Chiro. I love deep tissue massages. I generally dont like massage chairs becuase the pressure is too light. Which massage chair provides the deepest pressure?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Without knowing any specifics hands down Kairos is the most intense massage chair. However there is a great deal on the Highpointe right now which is what they based the Kairos chair off of. Book a call with me, I’ll give you the DC discount. Thanks for watching!

[@aurinator]

Great information and helping customers not necessarily get stuck with a more expensive option direct from Costco - can't really beat their warranty & return policy IMO though.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I match or beat Costcos warranty for these chairs. I can sometimes match the return policy, but that’s why I like to do a chair chat with people before purchase so they won’t want to return it. 😊

[@JohnDoe31]

Just got this chair yesterday. My wife and I somehow managed to lug it up an incredibly narrow staircase without breaking anything. Super heavy so make sure to find adequate help when moving this thing. Instructions for setup in the manual are terrible. I found a setup video online that was pretty good but found that I to turn on the chair and move it to upright position for the side panels to fit. One thing I still can’t figure out is how to properly use the controls. The combination remote/side controls are pretty confusing and customizing the massage (for example to reduce intensity) doesn’t seem to be possible. Would you have any interest in posting a basic usage video that goes over this??? Thanks again for the review, this really does seem to be a great chair. My entire body aches from the intense massage this thing gave yesterday but I’m hoping to get used to it eventually.

Would love to know how this compares to the Osaki Thermamedic?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Which Theramedic model are you wanting a comparison? Flex, 4D LT, 3D LTX? My current recommendations for the best Osaki chairs at this price point are the Titan Vigor, and the Osaki Emperor.

[@SMusictime-fs9ih]

got one in Nove............great just need to learn the controller!

[@yramk4104]

Can I try these chairs somewhere before I can buy it?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Maybe. What state do you live in? Also, Costco takes this line of chairs on their traveling road shows to different Costco locations for a few weeks at a time.

[@jimgarner263]

So is any massage chair able to be used as a recliner?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I have so many people ask this, and I still don't have a solid answer for you. It depends on how long you are sitting in it and if the structure of the chair supports your body for long term sitting. They won't be as soft as a reclineer (any model), but that may not be a bad thing since the softer can also hurt your back long term. So I guess I would say don't buy one for the sole purpose of a recliner unless you actually sit in it to test the feel. The Bodyfriend Familie would probably be my top choice for a massage chair that is also a recliner. You can check out the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6nPnYOBgdacZ9E

[@anthonye.284]

Excellent video review, thank you. I’m a little over 6 feet tall. Would this massage chair still be a good option? You mentioned the Titan Jupiter in another video; however, I like the Escape unit better due to the 4D option and other features.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Yes, I’m over just over 6 feet tall (6’0 and 3/4 inch to be exact) and it’s great. Lmk if I can help with anything else!

Hi Dr. Duncan, How is this chair different from the Infinity Imperial Snyder D Massage Chair. Infinity is currently at my local Costco and selling it for $7k vs $15k online price for Costco members.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

The biggest difference is this chair does not have dual rollers like the Infinity Imperial Snyder D. The Imperial is a great chair but there is an even better chair and deal going on right now through Infinity.

Any recommendation for budget massage chair, like 2k and under? 😅

[@TheWellnessDoc]

They do exist even in the Osaki/Titan line, but I don't really recommend them. They usually will be just a 1D/2D roller with no airbags. If you email me, I can hook you up with a deal on a great chair close to that price point.

[@ВикторЧе-р3э]

Thanks for the great review! Please tell me what you think about the Osaki Ador 3D Integra and Osaki OS-Pro First Class chairs in terms of functionality and massage quality in comparison with the Osaki OS-4D Escape? I'm not sure I want to pay extra for light therapy.

[@EnchantedIrish]

Hi. Im just back from Costco where they tried to sell me an Infinity Evo Max for 8,000. It was nice but wow, did not want to spend over 3 or 4,000. My issue is I'm getting pretty bad arthritis and have fibro etc. Would a chair be ok for that, if my shoulders and everything else hurt pretty bad...because Im not sure if it's mostly muscle pain or actual pain from messed up joints. Also, I am only 5 ft. Do you have a particular chair that scans and is for shorter people? I think I would prefer the track that goes under the gluts :-) Thanks.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

You would definitely want a gentler chair with the fibro and heat/air compression for the arthritis. So tons of options in your price range. If you email me at [e-mail] I can give you a few suggestions specific for your situation.

[@jimgarner263]

[@roanaene3008]

Dr. Eric both of the chairs you mentioned are S tracks... have you tried SL tracks or J tracks? Are there major differences there? I understood J & SL are better.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

Great question. Both J & SL tracks go below the spine into the hamstring region, the J does not contour to the spine, and the SL does. If you are looking for a great SL chair at this price point I recommend the Signature chair. The reason why I don't mind the S track on the escape is because this is a 4D chair and the shimmy shimmy thing the pelvic part of the chair does in my opinion compensates for the lack of the track in that area. So SL is usually better but it depends on other features of the chair as well as what the person who uses the chair is dealing with condition-wise. I sat in every style of the Osaki brand last month and it was a mixed bag on what felt best to me. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions just LMK! PS the "shimmy shimmy thing" is the best I could do to explain the motion of the bottom of the chair :)

[@roanaene3008]

@@TheWellnessDoc thanks so much for your quick response! and defining the difference between SL&J and why you went with S. Based on my chiropractic care I have a pelvic tilt - uneven hips, and this does affect my mobility. Can't believe I am 36 and I have a hard time putting on my right shoe or raising my leg high enough to put on leggings. Its just very tight and inflexible. Do you recommend SL or S for this? Also are massage chairs safe in pregnancy use? I am concerned about the shimmy shimmy motion - I am currently 5 months pregnant. Last question, do you feel these massage chairs are just as effective to a real massage (I usually get deep tissue massage style)?

[@TheWellnessDoc]

@@roanaene3008 I would NOT recommend using a massage chair while pregnant. There are certain pressure points around the ankle and calf that should be avoided during pregnancy. A massage chair is never as good as a massage therapist, but it's getting closer and closer every year (check out the Osaki ai xrest if you want your mind blown). Also, as far as your chiropractic care goes, make sure your chiropractor is Webster Technique Certified. This is different that them just saying they know the technique, so look it up online. This technique is specific for pelvic function and pregnancy. I have a video about it on my channel so make sure to check it out. Hope that answers all of your questions and I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

[@roanaene3008]

@@TheWellnessDoc Thank you! good to know that massage chairs are not recommended during pregnancy. I was contemplating a package deal with a medical massage therapist for prenatal care, vs just buying a chair. I used a chiropractor during my first pregnancy (this is my 2nd baby 3 yrs later) and I intend to use Chiropractor again during this pregnancy and wanted to partner it with massage. Webster technique all the way! Thats what I had the first time around as well. Baby was in great position and had a natural birth. I did have terrible back labor though. Hopefully this time since I am starting chiro care sooner - maybe I wont get that.

I just got this chair for my wife. First of all, it is really heavy, so make sure you have plenty of friends to help you. Next, the assembly is somewhat of a pain, and there is no instructions. By looking at a KZbin video from Osaki I got the basic instructions. I played around for half an hour but could not get the side arms to align. I gave up for the rest of the day. Next day, I realized that something is not right. By looking at the video, the back of the chair was much higher than on mine. I had to temporarily hook up power and the remote to the half assembled chair to get the backrest all the way up. Thereafter the holes lined up. One zipper on the seat cushion was broken. There are no instructional videos anywhere to find on how to use the chair and all of its features. There is a booklet with 55 pages that you need to study. Oh, and not forget, there is a sticker on the hood with some extremely strong glue. I tried hot towel and water, but only got it partially off. When using an adhesive remover the color came off with it. Bad, bad @#?!$#@

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I can see why that would be a problem. I always recommend to my customers to add white glove delivery for these chairs. With white glove delivery they deliver it right into your home, set it up, plug it in to make sure it works properly and take the trash out of your home on their way out. Usually around $300, but worth it so you don't have the experience you had. I hope the chair loosens up everything that was tightened during setup :)

You are a distributor, how are you not making money from promoting this chair! Osaki has a lot of returns.

[@TheWellnessDoc]

I am a chiropractor who became a distributer after 100's of my patients per week tell me they love the Osaki line of chairs. I clearly state that in the video. Nothing wrong with Human Touch, just WAY too expensive for what you get. Their endorsement from the WFC is financially influenced, not because of the chair itself. If you look at the WFC website Human Touch is a Platinum Corporate sponsor of the WFC. Osaki having a lot of returns is not accurate either. What are you basing that claim on? Wasn't a very positive post from a positive guy in my opinion. :)
