What it means:
Sound frequencies that promote cellular healing
Think:
Sound bowl healing, like meditation frequencies for your muscles. Activating your 12 meridians.
ITSU exclusive:
First in NZ (Sensei Inspire Pro Max, Sensei Inspire Pro, Wavezen only)
What it means:
Bespoke 5D Rollers with 0.5s Gearshift Motor move with tailored precision in dimensions - up/down, left/right, in/out, plus variable speed.
Why it matters:
5D rollers auto-adjust across 12 levels of depth creating lifelike massage movements that adapt to your body's contours.
ITSU advantage:
Not your standard 5D. ITSU’S 5D rotation includes sonic waves ranging from 60 to 100 Hz ensuring therapeutic benefits tailored to you. Our ‘5D’ technology doesn't just move in robotic directions — it’s true hand-like motion adjusting in dimensions, ensuring perfect fit for your body.
What it means:
Track length following your spine (S-shape) plus leg line (L-shape)
Why it matters:
Longer track = more coverage. Many chairs stop at lower back.
ITSU advantage:
Industry-leading full 1.38m means coverage from neck to hamstrings - 30% more than standard
What it means:
How far rollers extend from track for real-hand-like massage
Why it matters:
Deeper = reaches stubborn knots

13.5cm is 30% deeper than standard
