Massage Techniques
The Omega hand touch chair utilizes rollers and air bags to perform the following efficient massage techniques.
Shiatsu:
All treatments delivered by the human touch chair (accept for the reflexology foot massage) are based on Shiatsu - traditional Japanese pressure point massage technique, in which finger pressure is applied on particular points (called acupressure points) on the human body in order to stimulate the meridians (routes through which life energy flows).
The advanced rollers of the omega human touch chair simulate accurately masseuse palms, while the advanced technology of the electric Shiatsu massage chair maps and locates the seated user's acupressure points.
Tapping:
In the tapping technique the rollers of the robotic massage chair move rapidly on the user's back to relieve back aches and sore spots. This technique softens thick fatty layers, while stimulating tensed muscles and nerve tissues in order to achieve complete relaxation.
Pressing:

In the rolling technique, the rollers of the human touch chair move upward and downward, simulating either a pointed or a rotating finger of a skilled masseuse. This is an efficient massage technique that helps both in specific tensed areas and in reducing pressure on the discs by stretching the spine during treatment.
Kneading:

In the kneading technique, four rollers of the electric Shiatsu massage chair move in all directions, simulating a professional Shiatsu therapist. This technique helps to relax stressed muscles, eliminating weariness and rejuvenating the entire body by stimulating blood circulation.
Kneading/ Tapping combo:

The combination massage of the human touch chair combines tapping movements with dual-action kneading to provide a rejuvenating and pleasurable treatment that integrates the benefits of both techniques.
AMT - Air Massage Technology:
The AMT is an advanced air pressure massage technique in which utilize airbags that are located in the leg rest, seat and back of the human touch chair. These air bags blow up and compress alternately in order to squeeze, hold and release the muscles of the targeted area.
One of the unique features of the air pressure technique in the omega electric Shiatsu massage chair stretches the ankle and knee joints and also the thigh and calve muscles in order to reduce stress and fatigue from the lower body.
Reflexology:
The omega electric Shiatsu massage chair offers a unique feature of Chinese foot therapy, in which pressure is applied on specific points of the foot, to promote relaxation and healing of the entire body.

This method is based on the approach that all parts of the body are connected to the feet through the nervous system and therefore, stimulating particular reflex points in the feet can heal and balance the rest of the body.
Inside the foot wells of the omega human touch chair, there are several strategic nodules that are utilized to stimulate the reflexology pressure points. During treatment, the lower airbags in the foot massage mechanism of the masage chair compress. As a result, the nodules lift the foot arch - activating the pressure points and stretching the foot to relax the whole body and increase blood circulation.
