How to Use Your New Massage Chair — A Quick-Start Guide from Relaxacare

Congratulations on your new massage chair purchase! Whether you’ve invested in a top-tier Ogawa, JP Medics, Osaki, or one of our trusted entry-level models, this guide will help you get the most out of your experience — safely, effectively, and enjoyably.

✅ Step 1: Unpack & Set Up Properly

• If Relaxacare installed it (GTA customers): You’re all set — we’ve already done the heavy lifting.

• If self-installing: Follow the user manual carefully. Most chairs need 12–24 inches of space behind the backrest unless it’s a space-saving model.

🧠 Pro Tip: Always place it on a flat, dry surface near a grounded outlet. Avoid carpet if the chair has heating elements.

---

✅ Step 2: Plug In & Power On

• Plug the chair directly into the wall (avoid power bars or extension cords).

• Flip the power switch on the back or base of the unit.

• Use the remote control or touchscreen panel to begin.

Most chairs will beep or light up once powered.

---

✅ Step 3: Start with a Body Scan

Most Relaxacare chairs come with smart body scanning technology.
When you first sit down:

• Relax and sit upright

• Press a “Full Body” or “Auto Scan” program

• The chair will detect your height, spine curvature, and shoulder width to tailor the massage.

🧠 Pro Tip: Don’t lean too far back during scanning — let the chair find your natural shape.

✅ Step 4: Choose the Right Program for You

Most chairs offer:

• 🔄 Auto Programs (Recovery, Sleep, Stretch, Energize, etc.)

• 🛠️ Manual Mode (Control rollers, airbags, heat zones individually)

• 🚀 Zero Gravity Mode (Raises legs above the heart to reduce spinal pressure)

Start with 10–15 minutes a day, and build up to 30–45 minutes depending on your comfort.

✅ Step 5: Adjust Intensity & Rollers

Use the remote to:

• Increase/decrease roller depth (2D, 3D, or 4D)

• Turn on heat for the lumbar or calves

• Focus on a specific area (e.g., neck, shoulders, lower back)

• Adjust airbag pressure for arms, legs, and hips

🧠 Pro Tip: If you’re sensitive, begin with low intensity and avoid deep-tissue modes until you’re used to it.

✅ Step 6: Use It Consistently

Massage chairs are most effective when used regularly — 3 to 5 times a week is ideal for:

• Muscle recovery

• Stress reduction

• Better sleep

• Improved posture

🧠 Even 10 minutes daily can make a noticeable difference in how you feel.

---

✅ Step 7: Clean & Maintain It

• Wipe surfaces with a soft cloth (avoid chemical cleaners)

• Check for any dust buildup near vents

• Avoid placing heavy items on the chair

• Turn off the chair completely if not in use for extended periods

Relaxacare offers support, parts, and cleaning accessories if needed.
