OSIM International has created the OSIM uSpace, a revolutionary chair which provides a multi-sensory experience through a powerful union light, sound and massage therapy. The OSIM uSpace is the world’s first chair which uses special light and sound therapy to complement its superior massage modes, for an incomparable multi-sensory experience.

The iconic shape of the OSIM uSpace is inspired by the butterfly’s cocoon, a private space of well-being and retreat. The chair mirrors the nurturing and restorative qualities of this work of nature. Just as a caterpillar nestles in the peaceful cocoon before it emerges as a butterfly, the OSIM uSpace is a private sanctuary which will restore one’s physical and sensory state. 

Backed by research and clinical studies, the OSIM uSpace combines the simplicity of nature’s best-kept secrets and innovative technology to help one achieve a state of optimum well-being.

The OSIM uSpace incorporates therapeutic mood lights to rejuvenate the senses, while clinically proven music therapy helps one unwind or recharge after a long day. This sensory experience is complemented by an extensive suite of massage options.

“This OSIM uSpace fuses the therapeutic qualities of sight (light), sound (music) and feel (massage) for a total sense of well-being that is unmatched by any other massage chair,” said Shaily Grover, MD, OSIM INDIA.  “It is no longer just about massage. The making of the OSIM uSpace marks a quantum leap, not just for OSIM, but for the entire massage chair industry,” added Mr Grover.

Scientifically Researched Light Therapy
 
One can switch on cool colours of blue, green and turquoise to help soothe and calm the senses, and even lower one’s blood pressure and respiration rate. And, for an energising and uplifting effect, one can choose warm tones of red, orange and yellow. These colours also have the effect of simulating creativity, for that mentally demanding task ahead. For those who wish to shake off anxiety and stress, a balanced light combination will produce an equilibrium of well-being.

Clinically Proven Therapeutic Music
Neuro-acoustic research has shown that brainwaves tend to resonate with our sound environment. Osim’s uSpace works on three unique music modes to achieve various moods. The chair plays Relaxing music, using Alpha waves to help reduce stress and encourage brainwaves to a state of relaxation; Sleep music, using Delta waves that slow down brainwave patterns to help induce a deep state of restorative sleep, which is ideal for recuperation and healing, and Renewing music using Theta waves to promote concentration, peak performance and mental renewal, placing one in a “flow” state which encourages optimal performance. Alternatively, one can also enjoy any kind of music of one’s choice.
 
Massage Therapy
An ultimate sense of total well-being is reached with a fulfilling massage experience.  Using the most advanced of massage technology, the OSIM uSpace offers Automatic Acupressure Point Detection, Manual Massage Mode and Music-Synchronised Massage and eight HealthCare Programmes:

Ergo-Recline
The OSIM uSpace resembles a first-class airline seat, with its unique state-of-the-art, ergo-recline mechanism, allowing the leg rest, seat and backrest to slide in perfect tandem and in one fluid motion to smoothly cradle one’s body into a supine position. The ergo-recline nature of the chair prevents exertion and pressure on one’s back.
