Customer feedback: "Wish I'd tried ITSU first - the difference is immediately obvious" - common review theme
-

Technology differences:
ITSU: 4D4R precision, sonic healing, 1.35m+ professional tracks, smart health integration
Budget alternatives: Basic 3D systems, shorter tracks (typically under 1.2m), limited programs (10-20)

→Discover ITSU difference — we break down all features in our guide HERE
-
Physical trial essential for massage chairs - online photos can't show massage feel, comfort, or whether the chair fits your body properly.
Why showroom matters:
Massage feel varies dramatically between brands and models
Body fit requirements differ for every person
Program preferences are highly individual
Space considerations need professional assessment
Technical questions benefit from expert guidance
Auckland showroom advantages:
45-minute consultation vs rushed online decisions
Side-by-side model comparison reveals differences immediately
Family participation ensures everyone's comfort
Space planning advice prevents delivery problems
Professional guidance matches your needs to right model
Online risks:
Wrong model selection leads to years of disappointment
Size miscalculations cause delivery complications
No massage trial means unknown comfort levels
Limited return options for large furniture items
Service response times vary, third-party contractors
Smart approach: Research online, decide in person - get the benefits of both.
Technology & Features
-
4D4R adds rotation and rhythm to standard 4D movement, mimicking how human hands actually massage.
Standard 4D movement:
Up, down, left, right - basic directional massage — Most competitors stop here
Feels less sensitive to you, repetitive
ITSU's 4D4R advantage:
4D movement + Rotation + Rhythm variations
0.5-second response time - lightning-fast adjustments
Variable speed control - smooth transitions between techniques
Heat-treated gearbox - superior durability and precision
What you feel: Natural, human-like real-hand massage that adapts and flows vs robotic poking
Available on: ITSU Inspire Collection: Sensei Inspire Pro, Sensei Inspire
-
Sonic uses specific healing frequencies (60-100Hz) that penetrate through your body's water content, unlike surface vibration that disperses quickly.
How sonic differs from vibration:
ITSU Sonic Technology:Healing frequencies: Precisely calibrated 60-100Hz for therapeutic benefit
Cellular resonance: Creates healing waves through muscle and fascia layers
Deep penetration: Works through your body's 70% water content to reach tension source
Therapeutic purpose: Addresses fascia layers physical pressure can't reach
Real-hand massage: Combined with ITSU’s 4D4R tech you’ll feel a deep difference
Regular vibration:
Surface-level sensation only
Generic buzzing with less therapeutic targeting
Intensity disperses at skin level
What customers feel: "Like waves of healing flowing through my entire body" vs surface buzzing
Scientific basis: Your body is 70% water - sonic frequencies create therapeutic ripples that spread throughout tissues.
Available on:Sensei Inspire Pro only (NZ's first sonic massage chair)
-
Longer tracks mean complete coverage - no "dead zones" where tension builds up.
ITSU track advantages:
1.35m-1.38m S+L tracks: Neck to hamstrings coverage
Every vertebra addressed: No missed pressure points
Comprehensive therapy: Upper neck and lower back included
Competitor comparison:
Most brands: 1.0-1.2m tracks (30% less coverage)
Budget chairs: Even shorter tracks, miss crucial areas
Real impact: Customers report less residual tension because entire spine receives attention
Visual guide: S+L shape follows your spine's natural curve perfectly
-
Our rollers extend 13.5cm from the chair back, reaching deeper muscle layers than competitors' standard 8-10cm.
Why depth matters:
Deep muscle tissue: 8-12cm - where chronic tension lives, making ITSU a true therapeutic massage chair vs surface-only alternatives
ITSU advantage: 13.5cm reaches problem areas others can't touch
Competitor limitation: Shallow penetration = incomplete massage
What you feel: Instead of surface pressure, you get therapeutic depth that addresses root tension patterns.
Real difference: Customers switching from other brands report "finally feeling the massage where I need it most."
-

Zero gravity elevates your legs above your heart, reducing spinal pressure and allowing deeper massage penetration.
Science behind zero gravity:
Spinal decompression: Removes gravitational pressure on vertebrae
Enhanced circulation: Elevated legs improve blood flow and reduce swelling
Muscle relaxation: Body weight evenly distributed, muscles naturally soften
Deeper massage access: Relaxed muscles allow rollers to reach tension more effectively
ITSU zero gravity advantage:
3 positions available: Find your perfect angle for comfort and effectiveness
Automatic adjustment: Chair finds optimal angle based on your body scan
Health benefit: Experience what your body has been craving - NASA positioning meets therapeutic massage for maximum wellness impact.
-
Rollers provide precise pressure point therapy, while airbags deliver compression massage - both work together for complete body treatment.
Roller massage (precision therapy):
Targeted pressure: Specific trigger points and knots
Deep penetration: 13.5cm depth for muscle therapy
Technique variety: Kneading, tapping, rolling, shiatsu movements
Spinal focus: Follows S+L track along your spine
Airbag massage (compression therapy):
Full-body coverage: Arms, legs, shoulders, calves simultaneously
Circulation boost: Rhythmic compression improves blood flow
Gentle embrace: Holds and releases muscle groups
Lymphatic drainage: Helps reduce swelling and toxins
ITSU integration: Our Sensei Inspire collection has up to 58 strategic airbags working with 4D4R rollers for complete therapeutic experience.
Combined effect: Precision acupressure therapy + full-body compression = professional-level massage at home.

-
This is usually a safety feature. Wait 15 minutes for cool-down, then restart - if problems persist, call support.

Safety pause recognition: Chair may have detected irregularity - this is normal protection
15-minute wait: Allow automatic cool-down period before restart attempt
Power cycle: Turn off for 30 seconds, then turn back on
Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing blocks rollers or moving parts
Return to home: Use remote to move chair back to upright position
Test basic function: Try simple auto program at low intensity
Why chairs stop mid-session:
• Overheating protection: Extended use triggers safety shut-off
• Obstruction detected: Anti-trap sensors prevent injury
• Power surge protection: Safeguards internal electronics
• Position sensor alert: User shifted unsafely during massage
• Normal program completion: Some programs have natural pause pointsWhen to call support:
Problems persist after 30 minutes
Error messages display on screen
Unusual noises during operation
Chair won't return to upright position
Auckland support promise: Same-week response, often same-day phone diagnosis and technician confirmed

Check power connections first, then try remote vs chair controls - 90% of issues resolve with simple steps.
Power troubleshooting sequence:
Wall outlet test: Plug another device into same outlet to verify power
Cord connections: Ensure power cord firmly seated at both wall and chair
Power switch location: Find and confirm main chair power switch is "ON"
Circuit breaker check: Verify home breaker hasn't tripped
Remote battery test: Try using onboard chair controls instead of remote (or main on/off switch for large models - back of chair)
Emergency stop check: Ensure emergency button wasn't accidentally engaged
Advanced checks:
Outlet voltage: Some chairs require specific voltage ranges
Extension cord issues: Direct wall connection preferred over power strips
Fuse check: Internal fuse may need professional assessment
Control panel response: Any lights or display activity when power button pressed
Professional diagnosis needed when:
No response after all troubleshooting steps
Partial power (lights but no movement)
Intermittent power issues
Burning smell or unusual sounds
Warranty coverage: All power issues fully covered during 1-2 year warranty period
Post-warranty: $200 flat fee for technician diagnosis and most repairs (transparent pricing on any parts needed)

Chairs adapt and learn over time, plus your body's sensitivity changes daily - check settings first, then assess patterns.
Why intensity varies:
Normal variations:
Smart adaptation: Chair learns your preferences and adjusts automatically
Body sensitivity changes: Daily stress, sleep, activity levels affect perception
Muscle adaptation: Your body adjusts to massage over time
Program differences: Auto programs have varying intensity by design
Position sensitivity: Slight seating changes affect massage feel
Settings to verify:
Intensity level: Check current setting (1-12 scale on most models)
Program selection: Confirm you're using usual program type
Body position: Ensure normal seating position in chair
Smart Band influence: If connected, band may recommend gentler sessions
Manual overrides: Check if any intensity limits were set
When to investigate further:
Sudden dramatic change: Overnight intensity drop needs attention
One-sided weakness: Uneven massage suggests mechanical issue
Complete loss: No sensation at certain positions
Accompanied by noises: Mechanical problems possible
Professional assessment: Same-week Auckland service if genuine malfunction suspected
