When looking at a massage chair, the company that makes it is very important. There are many massage chairs out there, but very few reputable manufacturers. Beware of massage chair companies that only sell at home shows, as many are just fly-by-night operations. It looks like a good deal until you need service, then the problems begin. It is important to go with a manufacturer that has the staying power through good and bad times. With Omega Massage, you are in good and competent hands.

How good is the warranty of the Prestigio OM-510 massage chair? Omega Massage has one of the best warranties and this also applies to the Prestigio massage chair. Omega covers the OM-510 with 5 years on the frame, 3 years parts, 3 years labor, 1 year shipping and 90 days in-home service. Omega has strong protection for the customer with their warranty. Many massage chair companies sell extended warranties, but Omega includes it as standard with their shiatsu massage chairs.

What about the Prestigio OM-510 shiatsu massage chair? Let us start with the design and aesthetics. Omega makes a very appealing and striking massage chair with the Prestigio. This sleek massage chair comes with highly varnished wood armrests and silver accents on the arm supports and leg supports to giving it a contemporary look. The OM-510 comes with a removable back cover, two detachable head pillows and an extra back pad. Also, Omega adds a handsome wood side table included, which is a nice designer touch.

With the Prestigio massage chair choose from tapping, rolling, kneading, Shiatsu, or combinations of all 4 massage functions in manual mode. In the automatic program mode select from 3 timed massages from 10, 20 and 30 minutes. In the manual mode, select from 4 back courses and select the massage technique for the back. The manual courses are upper back, lower back, full back and pinpoint. The Prestigio does a great job on the lower back or lumbar area. In fact, it covers the lumbar area better than any massage chair we have tried.

The foot rest and seat of the Prestigio has is controlled by an air massage system. This lower body air system can work in either manual or automatic mode. In automatic mode, the program will control the lower body massage and alternate through the feet, calves, thigh and buttocks. Switch to manual mode and concentrate the air massage on the feet or any other area. The air pressure can be adjusted to three levels to suit individual needs.

A special feature of the Prestigio shiatsu massage chair is its Knee Stretch Technology. The footrest of the Prestigio holds the feet and calves in place. The Prestigio then gently stretches the ankle and knee joints while extending the thigh and calf muscles. This feature helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness in the legs. The knee stretch technology also helps improve your range of motion and joint mobility.

The Prestigio massage chair has reflexology points built into the foot wells. These reflexology points stimulate relaxation and stress relief in the corresponding organs and areas of the body. If you enjoy a great foot massage, the Prestigio massage chair for you. Insert your tired, aching feet inside and enjoy!
