Ogawa X Universiti Malaya's Joint Research Partnership

 
Massage chair is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Massage is so much more than pampering, besides releasing stress, muscle tension and aches, massage can also help improve blood circulation and sleep quality. This is further proven by OGAWA Malaysia and Universiti Malaya in a joint-research hub to identify effects of automated massage chairs which showed that the OGAWA Master Drive AI 2.0 massage chair significantly improves blood circulation and sleep quality. 
The research titled "Investigating the Effects of OGAWA Master Drive AI Automated Massage On Blood Circulation and Sleep Quality" to further raise awareness on the importance of massage to reconnect with the body while giving the individual the needed comfortable sleep that is needed.

Datuk Lim Mei Ling, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OGAWA Malaysia shared that the cumulative effects of sleep loss and sleep disorders are causing increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack and stroke. Additionally, according to the National Health and Morbidity Survey, the number of Malaysians with depression and anxiety disorder rose from 12% in 2011 to 29% in 2017.

"Well-being does not only incorporate healthy diets and consistent workouts, but regular massages can contribute much more to the human soul - from correcting postural stress to boosting immunity. Through this study, we want to convey the major health benefits attached to having regular massages and how it should be considered vital for our overall health, be it to relieve sore muscles, reduce stress or even boost your immune system, massages will leave a positive impact on your everyday life," said Prof. Dr. Saad.
