FAMILY Inada is a manufacturer of Japan’s No. 1 selling luxury shiatsu massage chair, the INADA chair. The company was founded in Japan in 1962, introducing the world’s first therapeutic massage chair. Since its inception, the company has been devoted to designing and building therapeutic massage devices for home use and holds many international patents in the field. With sales divisions in the U.S., Germany and S.E. Asia, FAMILY Inada is creating a healthy living environment for all as a leader in the advanced research and development of massage related technology

The INADA Chair is the synergy of Eastern medical wisdom and modern technology. The ultimate goal of massage is to enhance the body’s natural healing ability by releasing stress and promoting circulation. According to Eastern medicine, the key to good health is maintaining a balance the yin and yang elements in the body, including the relationships between the upper and lower body, left and right, and front and back. The body has more than 350 pressure points aligned with the internal organs along the meridians. Stimulation of specific pressure points through kneading, tapping or pressing can energize the internal organs, helping some cases to slow or possibly prevent the onset of disease. The INADA Chair is the only chair that relies on the techniques and knowledge of professional massage and shiatsu therapists.

The INADA Chair is the only shiatsu massage chair that uses a state-of-the-art infrared technology to scan your body, detect pressure points and give you customized massage programs. With the infrared pressure point detection technology, the INADA Chair became the best-selling luxury shiatsu massage chair in Japan. The chair was designed by shiatsu and massage therapy professionals to give you the benefits of traditional Japanese acupressure massage everyday, at your convenience, in your home or office. The chair can help you take command of your health by aiding in the release of disease-causing stress, enhancing the healing effects of sleep and relieving job-related fatigue.

The INADA Chair is sold as a “Medical Chair” in Japan. It was approved by the Japanese government in 1998 for use in non-clinical massage and acupressure therapy and is marketed for home-therapeutic medical purposes in Japan.

FAMILY Inada built the original home massage chair in 1962 and has steadily rolled out a series of impressive firsts thereafter:

FAMILY INADA was the first to introduce an automatic infrared pressure point detection system.

Today, each INADA chair recognizes Shiatsu pressure point locations for over 100 body types. Your INADA massage experience will begin with an infrared body scan that identifies your central pressure points. The chair then adjusts its internal mechanisms to match your body type and customize your massage. This incredible flexibility makes the INADA chair an investment that can be used by the entire family.

Designed to mimic the hand movements of a massage therapist, this proprietary “Human Touch” technology provides a wider range of variation in kneading, tapping, rhythm shiatsu and combination strokes. Multi-directional air bags and vibration systems work together to ease tension in the arms, lower body and thighs.

A series of massage programs developed by the FAMILY INADA design team allow you to choose the right massage for your body, on any given day, anytime. For example, one program is designed for the morning, to rejuvenate and energize the entire body, while another is designed for night time, to soothe and relieve the tensions of the day. You can concentrate on certain parts of the body, or focus on a single area such as your back, your shoulders or your feet.

The INADA Chair D.1 is the world’s first full-body massage chair that adapts itself to the shape of your body with state-of-the-art infrared technology. The D.1 model scans your body size, detects pressure point and offers customized full-body massage, from head to toe, including revolutionary are and hand massage.

Literally, the INADA Chair D.1 is the ultimate luxury massage chair on the market

Personal Memory – The D.1 can store four separate settings so a four-member family can each record their individual settings of program, pressure intensity, etc.

The INADA Chair W.1 is the world’s fist massage chair to synchronize music and sound generated from a home theater system with massage.

It will take your home theater experience to the next level by synchronizing your audio-visual (DVD, TV, VHS, CD, etc) experience with a dynamic custom massage.

The INADA Chair W.1 comes with a synchronizer package, including and Amplifier Unit and a Speaker Head Rest, which connects a W.1 chair with your home theater system. Your massage will be keyed to the music and sound in the bass range, tapping and back vibration for the treble range, and leg vibration for the mid-range.

The program can sense variations in rhythm and melody as well as volume, so you can enjoy as much variation in your massage as you do in your home theater collection. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the massage synchronization to the audio. The program enhances the sensory experience of your massage for deeper mental relaxation.
