Design

In this price range, perhaps, Medical Breakthrough 4 is one of the very few that come with L track design. Only the perfect in design and the most advanced high-end massage chairs incorporate L track design.

The real full body massage experience comes from quad massage rollers when they are also present in lower body cushion (glutes and legs) along with backrest. The rollers are 4 wheel driven and ultra-quiet.

Roller massage is far superior to air massage experience especially in lower body. Most other chairs in this price range have just an S track design with rollers just covering the back and missing out on the glutes and legs.

Body Scan

Body scan feature is present in almost all massage chairs. But there is a catch in execution.

The massage rollers have to customize to precise level of your body height and width especially while rolling around back curves. This is where the best standout from the rest ordinary.

And Medical Breakthrough’s body scan feature not just calculates your exact height but the rollers are also fed with accurate data so as to cover every inch of your back, matching your body stats precisely.

Memory Programmable Positions

Only adjustable beds come with memory savable positions wherein you can save your desired position and tune into the same whenever you wish to.

But Medical Breakthrough chair has this feature. It in fact has 2 memory savable positions, simply adjust to your desired angles, set your massage mode, intensity levels and save them on your remote. The next time, just at the touch of a button, the chair will auto tune to the saved position.

Auto-Massage Programs & Massage Techniques

There are as many as 6 auto-massage programs preset on its remote.

Massage Techniques
  • Shiatsu
  • Kneading
  • Flapping
  • Knocking

Combination of only flapping and kneading is allowed. However, like with no other chair, in shiatsu, flapping and knocking modes, the width between kneading balls can be adjusted between narrow, medium and wide.

Manual Massage Modes and Speeds

Whereas, manual massage mode for upper body has below three options with 5 intensity levels.

  • Partial
  • Overall
  • Fixed
Air Massage Modes and Speeds

Medical Breakthrough, perhaps, is the only massage chair with mere 18 airbags. Yes, this is far less than what you get to see in most other chairs that are stuffed with more than 50 airbags into every nook and corner.

Nonetheless, these 18 airbags are large enough to cover whole of upper and lower arms, legs and full body. There are three intensity levels for air massage as well – Low, Medium and High.

Calf and Foot Massage

While few chairs offer only air massage to feet, there are others that come with massage rollers.

In addition to just air and roller massage, Medical Breakthrough chair has several advanced features. There is gentle skin scraping massage around heals and foot arches along with finger rotating papillae pairs embedded within the massage roller frame.

Heat Therapy

While heat therapy is limited to lower back in most chairs, but in Medical Breakthrough chair radiant heat is generated for the entire body by carbon fiber based infrared heating element.

Zero-Gravity

Medical Breakthrough chair comes with Zero-gravity positions and owing to the superior design, it relatively it takes much less space.

Conclusion

For others, it is a need owing to chronic pain issues. For example, most of us suffer from lower back pain at one or the other time in our life.

If you really wish to take care of yourself in the long run both physically and psychologically with regular massage then Medical Breakthrough 4 is for you.
