PANASONIC DEBUTS STYLISH NEW MASSAGE CHAIR

CHICAGO , IL (March 22, 2009) – Panasonic today announced the newest addition to its collection of massage chairs, the Real Pro EP-MA20. This stylish new embodiment of Panasonic’s four decades of massage technology adds sophistication to comfort and relaxation. The Real Pro EP-MA20, along with many other Panasonic personal care products, will be demonstrated at Panasonic’s booth #L12502 at the 2009 International Home + House wares Show, which is being held in Chicago, Illinois, from March 22-24th, 2009 .

The Real Pro EP-MA20 is operated by a new, easy-to-use remote control that enables the user to dial up the exact massage setting they prefer. It also features advanced sensor technology that scans a person’s body and automatically adjusts its massage area and pressure to the results of the scan for greater comfort. A new two-massager real-time intensity control system closely replicates the movements of a massage therapist’s hands for spa-like massage quality at home.

The Real Pro EP-MA20 will be available in April with an MSRP of $4499.99. For more information, please visit www.panasonicmassagechairs.com
