Inada Massage Chair

Inada, based in Osaka, Japan, is often credited with pioneering the modern massage chair. With a legacy dating back to the 1960s, it has focused on chiropractic-style techniques, clinical precision, and the art of rhythm and pressure rather than commercial feature overload.

Inada chairs aren’t flashy. They’re built like instruments—each movement slow, deliberate, and fine-tuned. Current models like the DreamWave M.1 and Robo-Therapist 7 reflect decades of therapeutic R&D and still echo the brand’s original philosophy: targeted relief, not roller theatrics.

Fujiiryoki Massage Chair

Fujiiryoki, officially Fuji Medical Instruments Mfg. Co., Ltd., holds the title of world’s first massage chair manufacturer. Founded in Osaka, Japan, in the 1950s, it’s still a dominant force in Japan’s wellness and healthcare markets. Its chairs are classified as Class II medical devices in Japan, meaning they’re validated not just for comfort, but for clinical benefit.

Models like the JP-1100 and JP-3000 AI reflect this origin, blending a conservative design with deeply researched mechanics. Fuji chairs are engineered to restore circulation, posture, and muscular alignment, with fewer flashy elements and more embedded intelligence under the surface.
