Review Of Osim Model I Symphonic Massage Chair

Osim massage chair is a distributor based out of Singapore. They brand different massage chairs which are manufactured by third parties. One of their main points of distribution is with Brookstone. Brookstone has many innovative products and features some of the Osim massage chair line.
Some people get confused that massage chairs are made by one company and branded by another. This is fairly common as the technology is fairly specific. Osim is a company that does this and also companies like Sanyo use other ones to produce them.
There are a few interesting electronic features in this recliner. Sensors are used to accurately measure you before a massage. This is done in order to find the correct shiatsu pressure points.
This model also has an integrated music therapy system. The music therapy system is a little bit more than just listening to your favorite music. The massage is synchronized to and orchestrated by the music that is being played.
An exciting feature in this recliner is its synchronized music therapy system. The synchronized music is based on your preferences. Select the type of music that you want and push the synchronize button. The chair will then start the massage movements based on the tempo of the music playing.
You’ll find that the Osim iSymphonic comes with 5 Healthcare programs. These are automatic programs which can be initiated with a single button. The remote control allows you to select each individual automatic program. Each of these has a different theme.
You have complete control over your massage. Each of the automatic massages last 15 minutes in duration. These are timed massages and the counter will count down when complete.
One of the fun features of a massage chair is its motorized recline. This recliner can be set back 170. This is almost horizontal as 180 is completely flat. The easy-to-use remote allows you to adjust the chair back or the leg rest up to your convenience.
This recliner also comes with an air massage system. There are specially designed airbags in the leg rests and on the seat. The leg massage uses vibration in conjunction with the airbags being activated. The chair lacks an arm massage.
One of the features that I like about the music therapy is the included headphones. Headphones are a great way to limit the noise in the room and distract your mind at the same time. Relaxation is never easier with this system.
The Osim iSymphonic massage chair is worth considering as a contender for your attention in its price range. It may not have all of the sophisticated technology contained in chairs like Panasonic or Sanyo but it does an admirable job.
The massage in the back could be a little stronger. I am a fan of deeper tissue massage and prefer that my massage chair is strong. This massage seemed a little weaker even when I removed the back cover. I reclined the chair back far but did not feel penetration to thoroughly relieve my stiffness.
If you’re out shopping for a massage chair, then one of the easiest ones to try is Osim iSymphonic at Brookstone. This is a good chair but not the best on the market. They have locked in a great distribution channel but do not produce the best chairs on the market. Those are my thoughts on the Osim iSymphonic massage chair.
