Panasonic MAK1

The Panasonic MAK1 features the latest generation of the Real Pro Ultra 4D Human Intelligence massage mechanism. Unequivocally the most precise and versatile massage mechanism on the market, the Real Pro Ultra 4D H.I. mechanism goes beyond seamlessly moving in 3D space and authentically delivering a wide range of massage styles. By drawing real-time data from body sensors, it adjusts its speed and intensity to your body’s unique needs at the moment, just like a human massage therapist. Learn More >

Easily control the advanced features and customization capabilities of the MAK1 with a simple touch screen.

The Real Pro Ultra 4D H.I. massage mechanism locates 1080 individual points on your back and neck, creating a virtual map so that it can perform the correct movements with the right amount of pressure for each part of your body. No other massage mechanism performs a more precise scan or delivers a massage that is more customized for you. Learn More >

Air cells apply compression massage to the shoulders, hips, thighs, buttocks, calves, feet, forearms, and hands. The MAK1 massage chair’s extensive air cell array is carefully positioned for maximum benefit and insightfully programmed for maximum healing effect. Compression and release are sequenced to faithfully replicate the motions of a real massage therapist. The MAK1 features extended shoulder air cells to provide stronger hold and range, as well as heel air cells to complete a whole foot massage. This chair leaves no space unaddressed.

An additional air cell located behind the knee provides therapeutic stretch and traction motions.

The Real Pro Ultra H.I. mechanism constantly feeds information to the chair’s Position and Force Microprocessor, adjusting massage movements based on this real-time feedback. This responsiveness allows the MAK1 to faithfully replicate the intricate kneading movements of a human massage therapist. The MAK1’s ability to sense pressure also means that massage intensity is customized to each user.

Calf air cells extend around your leg to massage the anterior tibialis.

Infrared-heated massage rollers generate soothing warmth to help relax sore, tense muscles. With heating elements located directly on the massage roller assembly, the MAK1 delivers point-specific heat you’d expect to feel from the thumbs and palms of a massage therapist’s hands.

The MAK1’s seat air cells gently lift and reposition your whole body, allowing the mechanism to work the glutes and upper hamstrings. Relief for stiff, tight hips is achieved by targeting acupressure points.

A fusion of cutting-edge technology and reflexology techniques delivers deep massage therapy to the soles of your feet. Full coverage air cells hold your foot in place as the foot mechanism replicates the hand movements of a professional reflexologist. Capable of plantar arch manipulating massage, sole kneading, and sole shiatsu, the sole mechanism can adjust intensity and style to suit your mood and your needs.

The MAJ7 performs complex junetsu kneading and shiatsu massage movements, plus rolling, tapping, kneading, and ultra-slow kneading techniques to mimic the versatility of an experienced massage therapist.

All of the massage features of the MAJ7 can be adjusted from gently relaxing to therapeutically firm. Air cell compression intensity, roller massage intensity, and foot massage intensity are each independently adjustable. You can even program and save your favorite settings for up to three users.

By blending the Real Pro Ultra H.I. functions with full-body air cell coverage, the MAK1 delivers an impressive suite of stretching movements. These powerfully therapeutic motions (which you’ll find in many of the chair’s programmed sessions) mobilize the spine, promote relaxation, and improve the flexibility of the lower back, middle back, and neck. Our stretching techniques are perfect for post-workout relaxation or to shake off sleep and stiffness as a morning rejuvenation session. The MAK1 offers a full range of stretching techniques, including the Neck, Pelvis, Chest, Leg, Lower Back, and Core.

The combination of air cells provides firm compression to both the forearms and biceps.

Calf air cells extend around your leg to massage the anterior tibialis.

Junetsu Ultra Kneading massage techniques involve tight, spiral movements that quickly and effectively loosen tight muscles. The target zones benefit from increased blood flow and improvement in the pliability of muscle fibers. Junetsu Ultra Kneading also does an exceptional job relaxing the neck and shoulders to help improve mobility, range of motion, and comfort. These techniques are proprietary and exclusive to Panasonic massage chairs.

Based on traditional Chinese medicine, this Japanese style of massage literally translates to “finger pressure.” As the name suggests, shiatsu massage addresses specific points on the body, often referred to as shiatsu points, pressure points, or acupressure points. The MAK1’s body scan, in concert with pressure-sensing massage heads, direct force accurately and firmly on shiatsu points.

The Swedish massage style helps to provide overall relaxation and improve circulation while enhancing physical health and mental well-being. The MAK1’s Real Pro Ultra mechanism applies gentle pressure and movements to simulate how a massage therapist uses hands and palms to provide the relaxing movements typical of a Swedish massage.

Experience the dazzling variety in circumference, speed, and depth of kneading offered by the MAK1. From deep kneading therapy to the most gentle of strokes, MAK1’s Real Pro Ultra H.I. massage mechanism makes it possible to recreate the trained hands of a massage therapist.

This motion simulates the sensation of hands percussively or gently tapping the back. Rapid tapping invigorates and revitalizes, while slow tapping can help your mind and body drift peacefully and comfortably in deep meditation.

An up-down movement that is as simple as it sounds…that is until you add in the variation of speed, width, and depth that can be achieved by the Real Pro Ultra 4D H.I. mechanism. Rolling motions are surprisingly relaxing, and they provide beneficial intersegmental traction and extension to all levels of your back. Regular back mobilization helps promote and maintain the health of spinal discs.
