What's New with the Panasonic EP-MA73 Real Pro Ultra Massage Chair

Panasonic is always looking for new ways to improve their massage chairs so that your experience when using them, is not only worth your money, but also helps you achieve the deepest levels of relaxation available to you. With every design change or feature addition, they listen to you and change their chairs based on your feedback and what you’re looking for.

Designed as an improvement over the EP-MA70, this massage chair addresses a few issues that customers with their high-end massage chair.  Let’s examine some of the issues and what Panasonic did to enhance this chair to provide you a much better experience.

• Problem: Given the nature of the massage rollers in the EP-MA70, with the ceramic heaters built right into the roller, so you would get the hot stone effect with your massage all across your back. Your lower body was neglected, leading to cold feet and legs when getting your massage. 
• Solution: Panasonic redesigned the entire ottoman, to combat this issue and a few others. To solve this particular issue, heaters were included in the soles of the feet, so your new and improved foot massage has a nice warming effect to your feet.
• Problem: Some customers that purchased the EP-MA70 felt the arm compression massage was too painful and would hurt when reclined due to the different position of your arms in the reclined position.
• Solution: The armrests have been redesigned to be much more comfortable in the reclined position, and instead of offering a simple compression massage, the airbag system has been redesigned to offer a much milder kneading massage that is much more efficient at stimulating the muscles and helping the muscles in your arms relax.
• Problem: The neck massage has been improved with a slight alteration of the program.
• Solution: The roller focus has been narrowed by about 5mm to focus more on the muscles closer to the spine.

• The leg rest has been redesigned with a bunch of new features and to be more lightweight than before. While 40% lighter than the EP-MA70 leg ottoman it still offers the rotating feature to hide the leg massagers when not in use, or not wanted as a part of your massage experience.
