The pace of technology is simply amazing. Massage chair have been impacted by this phenomenal trend as well.

This is the mechanism that provides the back massage which has motors and roller arms. Labor is covered for 1 year. Parts are covered for 1 year. In home technician service is available through Sanyo and they will cover it for the first year.

On to the features of the DR-7700. The DR 7700 is a zero gravity massage chair. What is zero gravity? This is a position used by NASA astronauts when they are being shot to space in a rocket. The zero gravity position is ground to spread the weight of the individual across their back which relieves the pressure off the spine. This is a reclined position with the chair back coming down.

An interesting electronic feature is known as the physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor will monitor the position of your body. As you move, then the physical shape sensor checks your body position. This new information is relayed to the computer and the massage program is altered to account for your new position.

One technology that Sanyo has transferred into the massage chair division is based on lie detector technology. This is referred to as the Stiffness detector. The Stiffness detector takes a reading of your pulse and level of perspiration. From this information it can infer where your body may have tension. The massage program is adjusted to target this stiff area for relief.

Sanyo has created four excellent automatic massage programs. The DR-7700 operates these automatic programs with the touch of a button. You can select from Recovery, Relax, Stiffness and Fine. Recovery, for instance, is geared to relieving the body after strenuous exercise. Each auto program has a particular need it is trying to address.

This massage chair recliner comes with heating elements in the foot wells of the chair. These heaters are designed to warm up the soles of your feet. This is especially effective when receiving the foot massage to soothe and relax your feet.

The Grip massage which is a manual massage method in the DR 7700 massage chair performs a relieving shoulder massage. Sanyo has incorporated its GK roller system which can extend over the top of your shoulders. It provides a gripping action which helps to reduce stiffness or tightness in the shoulder area.

This massage chair has some of the most advanced electronic features such as the physical shape sensor and the stiffness detector.
