Hi,

Need some information about massage, massage chairs and the brands. Sorry if the questions seem dumb.

1. brands. Osim, ogawa, gintell l. Have I missed any sold in Malaysia?
2. In terms of rank, which is best followed by and.....? Any good online brands? Lots selling in lazada.
3. How long does a massage chair lasts? Longevity? If spoilt then you have a 5000+ chair. Can it be fixed? Any insurance sold with the chairs?
4. I've read online that some massage chairs are not suitable for some people. Especially the kind that massage too hard like crushing your bones. True?
5. The feeling of stress relief is due to the rupture of small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs. Also it is why your limbs are reddish in colour. True? I've had my feet massage at KL once, near bukit bintang or so, after massage, when I walk,  felt like barefoot. Can feel the tarmac, felt the cement. Quite painful. Never felt like that in my entire life. Also, last time getting massage. Went with a friend who really into massages.
6. If 4 & 5 are true, just get something that rubs gently behind your back? I assume that chairs have lots of massage setting function so that you can choose something not brutal.

1. Those are the more popular brands in the market.

2. I'm not sure which is the best brand. I only bought from Osim. I think it's better to invest in a reliable one than to buy a cheap but not lasting one. Can pay by instalments, with no interest.

3. How lasting? My first unit, I bought 10 years ago. Still using it today. The 2nd unit, more functions, can massage harder, been using for more than 1 year only. Asked once to come service it at my house then they reminded me to ask them to service again before warranty expires in 2 years time.

4. Not sure it can crush bones lol. Just to be safe, if have health problem or recovering from operation, I think better don't use it.

5. Not sure about blood vessel rupture, but after massage, body will feel hot a bit because of blood circulating our body, also certain part of the chair produces heat during massage. A bit warm only, not hot. A good foot massage, is important for our body. Just as a set of good tyres working for our cars.

6. I won't say it's brutal. You can choose what type of massage chairs that you are looking for. Best if you go around and try them before buying.

Thank a for the reply. I did try the foot massager, forgot which brand where you put your foot. The machine is almost as high as your knees. Not nice at all. Crushing feet like the one I went to m, but even worse

If you don't feel comfortable using it, stop using it then.

I think a good foot massage machine is not the chair type. It should be those that you place both your feet on it, then it uses acupuncture points to massage the bottom of your feet only. I only trust such machines made in Japan or Taiwan. I don't see any commercial brands offering such machines in the market.

Wow!  Can last so long?
I always thought that 2-3 years,  the motor sure rosak

I use it almost daily, as a chair for me to take my afternoon nap. 😄

The most I use just 1 or 2 sessions a day..

Any motor can rosak easily if you abuse it. Don't keep repeating to use it for long hours.

Dear sifus,

Looking at Osim Ulove3 with price tag of RM21K. Wifey planning to get one because of work stress and lack of time to get actual massage. Anyone using this or any comments to share with regards to Osim?

Thanks sifus.

I've been using Ulove, not sure which older version but it cost about rm16k when I bought it.

So far so good, I'm still enjoy using it.

I think it's best to try it out and to feel if it's suitable for her or not.

Actually I'm quite tempted to upgrade, if they offer good price for my old one. Haha.
