Using The Neck Massage Options Of The Inada Sogno Massage Chair

By Dr. Alan Weidner

Roller or Airbag Massage of the Inada Sogno The Inada Sogno Dreamwave massage chair never ceases to amaze with its versatility. One feature it has that you may not realize is the ability to change up the intensity of the massage simply by changing the position of the headrest (or cervical traction device, as it is called by Inada) with it´s attached back pad below it!

The head and neck traction unit that rests at the top of the chair is fabulous when you want the neck traction feature and the kneading airbag massage around the neck. You know how it feels to have someone grab your neck with one hand and massage the muscles with their thumb on one side and their other fingers on the other side of your neck? Well, that is what the airbag massage of the cervical traction device feels on your neck when you are in the Inada Sogno.

'A More Vigorous Neck Massage, Please, From The Inada Sogno'

The airbag massage is fantastic, but some folks want a more vigorous neck massage...something a little bit deeper on the upper back and neck than the airbags. In other words, some people want to feel the good old roller massage on the neck muscles. You can make that happen on the Inada Sogno simply by lifting the cervical traction device (aka head rest) up and out of the way and then fastening the head piece onto the top of the chair with snaps on either side of the top of the chair back.

When you lift that head piece and attached padding out of the way, there is only a single layer of faux leather uphostery between yourself and the chairs rollers. As a matter of fact, as you move up the back, the only material between your neck/upper back and the rollers is a thin piece of linen.

So, what I am saying is that, if you would like to take it one step further and go even deeper with your neck and upper back massage you can just flip the whole head unit and attached pad over the back of the chair. Now you have just a thin linen fabric layer between the chair´s rollers and your sore upper back and neck muscles!

This is a great way, that most folks aren´t aware of, to use the chair. It allows for a much more aggressive roller massage in this area. We have heard a few shoppers tell us that that chair massage felt a little too gentle for their liking. If you are one of those who want a more vigorous massage from the Inada Sogno, you can truly get it to be as intense or gentle as you like.

The Stretch Program of the Inada Sogno One automatic program that feels particularly amazing with the head unit positioned over the back is the 'Stretch'. I love it because during the program the rollers will roll from the tip of your sacrum (that´s the lowest part of your low back near the top of the buttocks) all the way up your spine to the base of your head and then hold that position allowing the muscles some moments to relax! When your muscles are relaxed, the effect of the stretch is greater and the results will be longer lasting.

One important point to remember when you lift the cervical traction device (head piece) up and out of the way, is that you will need more clearance between the chair and wall if you fully recline. The last thing you want is your Inada Sogno massage chair rubbing and pushing against your nicely painted wall!
