Sanyo entered the massage chair industry just a few short years ago. They have the name, but they lack the retail store distribution. The biggest customer complaint is finding one to try. This is extremely difficult with most distribution channels pretty locked up. Sanyo has pushed more into internet dealers. Shiatsu massage chairs have been on the market for 30 years, so Sanyo is a late entrant. Their HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity Massage Chair is their flagship model. This shiatsu recliner retails for about $5,000.

Yet our bodies have the same reaction to mental stress as they do to physical stress.

The most common symptoms of diabetes are similar in Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 is caused by the destruction of cells that produce insulin.
