Family Inada (Inada) is a Japanese manufacturer of robotic massage chairs. Based in Osaka, Japan, Inada was founded in 1962 by Nichimu Inada[1] and invented the first automatic shiatsu massage chair.[2] Mr. Meishoku Kim is Inada's director of development.[3]
Robotic massage chairs were first brought to market in 1962 by the Family Inada company.
Much of their technological development comes from a secretive skunk
works located in their main headquarters in Osaka. The main factory is
located in Nawa, a small town located in the Tottori prefecture of
Japan.
A robotic massage chair is a chair that contains internal
electronic motors and gears designed to massage the person sitting in
them. Most robotic massage chairs have some form of controller to vary
the type, location, or intensity of massage.
Massaging chairs vary tremendously in price, style and intensity, from
cheap "vibrate only" chairs to full intensity Shiatsu models for people
who require as close to a real invigorating massage as possible.
Massaging chairs most frequently resemble recliners.
There are many different types and brands, including office-style
chairs that operate from internal batteries. A less expensive option is a
separate massaging pad that may be used with an existing chair.
Some of
the available brands include Fujiiryoki, Family Inada, iRest, Masse, Omega, One Life, Kyokei, Masseuse, Back Doctor, Human Touch, NEOX, Sanyo, Panasonic, SHSS, OSIM, OTO, VGO, OGAWA, Homedics, and Oregon Scientific.
