Even Santa Can Find Comfort in New SANYO Massage Chair

The Hectic Pace of the Season Can Lead to Back Problems

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday season is
about family gatherings, creating the need for sprucing up the home,
cooking elaborate meals, and rushing to find the perfect gift. All of
this can add up to further stress in an already hectic life. Also,
holiday tasks like shoveling snow and carrying heavy packages in the
cold winter weather can lead to leg, back and neck muscle strains.

"There's a definite correlation between stress and tight muscles,"
said Richard Miller, Vice President of SANYO Home Appliances. "Massage
is a well-known method for relieving tension and muscle stiffness."
However, with busy schedules this time of year, how can anyone find
time to fit in a massage appointment?


"We recommend a SANYO massage chair to anyone who feels as worn out
and tired as Santa this time of year. You can enjoy a personalized
massage in the comfort of your own home at any time," said Miller.
SANYO's newest massage chair, model HEC-SA5000K features exclusive GK
Roller Technology where the rollers reach out and comfortably squeeze
to massage the shoulders and neck area, emulating the "grasping and
kneading" of a live massage.


In addition, the chair will locate areas of stiffness with SANYO's
exclusive Stiffness Detection Sensor, which diagnoses stress areas by
measuring changes in pulse rate, body temperature, and perspiration
level. The chair will then prepare a customized massage based on those
findings.


Even Santa needn't worry that he's a little too large to get the
benefit of all this technology. The chair will adjust to accommodate
various body sizes. The Physical Shape Sensor adjusts the massage
rollers automatically to the body's shape and shoulder height. Whether
it's Mrs. Claus or Santa in the chair both will get a massage that
fits each of them.


Don't be surprised if you see Santa sitting in a SANYO HEC-SA5000K
massage chair at some point this holiday season. Sources close to St.
Nick have reported that it is on the very top of his personal wish
list this year.
