With many outstanding models, Ogawa is a name you can trust in the world of in-home therapeutic massage chairs.

The Ogawa Active SuperTrac massage chair is no exception. This model is a next Level Up after their Ogawa Refresh model.

A well built, fully featured, technologically advanced, nicely designed chair.

Can it transport you to your health and wellness happy place?

Let's find out!

The reviews are consistently positive, especially for the price point.

I spent weeks researching everything we possibly could on this chair. I talked to massage chair experts, congregate all possible reviews and tried it.Below is a comprehensive analysis after considering all aspects of the chair and similar comparisons in this class.

There are few models I found that are similar to Ogawa Active in price and features.

Some models we discovered in this price range (even from Respected Brands) we could not even consider for this review, due to either high price points and fewer features or simply a reliability issues.

Click here to look at this overpriced model that we like to provide as an example on what not to buy. Lot's of similarities - much higher price point.

Ogawa chairs are manufactured in China.

Features

What is SuperTrac?

SuperTrac is a 43 inches extended roller track. It might not be the longest track, but what makes it unique is that with SuperTrac you can be lying down (in the bed position), and rollers still will reach all the right areas in your lower back and buttock area.

With L-track, you can't just lay down and get a massage in all the right spots. Ltrack is fixed. SuperTrac can mode and become flat. It is uniquely available in this model.

The advanced roller system, called "Supertrac" utilizes the s-track functionality to deliver deep, penetrating massage to the entire spine.

This technologically smart curve system enables healing penetration deeper massage into the areas of the cervical spine in your neck and down the entire length of your back.

When fully reclined, you get the same deep massage not only in the neck and back but the seat and down the legs as well.

It's like getting two massage chairs in one. A nice perk you don't see elsewhere.

If you do not have time to read the full review, here is the chair I recommend instead:

Compression

If you're a fan of compression massage, here is good news for you. This chair delivers a full-body compression massage via 56 air chambers that are stacked in multiple layers. This is good therapy option for not only deep healing but also for increased circulation and blood flow.

This chair delivers good comparable massage therapy for a home unit in this price range.

Zero Gravity

There are two stages of zero gravity positions to choose. One is entirely reclined into a flat position, and the other into a deeper incline so that your feet rise above your heart.

This position, designed initially to provide astronauts with weightlessness during takeoff, relieves your vertebra of all pressure and stress. This helps release tension in your entire body and increases blood flow for better circulation.

Body Scan Technology (Proprietary)

Company claims that chair offers the technology to help customize your massage and to receive one of the best massages. By using the data together with the Smart Curve technology, massage rollers are placed for a great massage every time.

Massage And Benefits

The computerized body scan ensures the massage is customized to fit your dimensions.

You can also isolate the glutes and thighs for one massage type and have a separate massage for those areas than for the shoulders, neck, and back when sitting upright or reclined.

In addition to the 56 air bags that deliver full body compression massage, you can also choose from six different kinds of massage and  built-in preset automatic  programs (lots of customization options)

The manual modes let you build your own personalized massage just the way you like it, with the techniques, pressure, and intensity of your choosing.

There are also two stretching modes, which are good for your neck, shoulder, back, waist, and hips.

There's a partial massage as well as a spot massaging feature, which allow you to target tired, sore, or overly stressed areas only.

There are vibrational massage and heat therapy to soothe sore, tight muscles and release connective tissue stress.

The removable back pad is an excellent way to increase or decrease the intensity as needed. The kneading foot rollers deliver excellent deep kneading massage to the soles of your feet.

Technology

The chair comes equipped with a USB charger so you can use and charge your tablet or smartphone while you lose yourself in restorative relaxation.

There's a remote control for programming, selecting, and changing modes at any time, as well as a timer and pause feature, so you can start and stop intermittently without having to restart and re-scan.
