Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I find the chair is too intense to be comfortable. What can I do? A: Your body needs to become acclimated to therapeutic massage. To be effective, the
massage techniques must compress the tissue in your body. We recommend the following steps to help get started. Then over time as your body acclimates you can increase the intensity by reducing the layers between you and the chair.
1. Use Pillow and Pillow pad to reduce upper body intensity. 2. From the In- Use screen, swipe left to get to the Custom Selections screen.
– If airbag pressure is too intense, use the Max Air Settings control to lower airbag intensity
– If a specific airbag is too intense, use the Air Settings control to turn off particular regions.
3. Adjust the recline on the remote. More upright will be less intense. Weightless Zero Gravity Recline will be more intense.
4. If after adjustments and attempt to acclimate, you still experience discomfort, discontinue use and consult a physician.
Q: I’m not a foot massage person, what should I do? A: Turn off Foot Reflexology Rollers. From the In-Use screen, swipe left to get to the Custom
Selections screen. Use the Foot Rollers control to deactivate the Foot Reflexology Rollers. You may also want to use the Airbag Setting control to turn off the Leg/Foot airbags.
Q: My chair is not performing as expected. What should I do? A: Your Kyota massage chair is an amazing combination of programming and robotics. On
occasion the chair just may need to be rebooted. To do this power down the chair and unplug from the wall for 5 minutes then plug back in and power back up to see if it self-healed. If you are still having an issue, give Kyota a call at 1-603-910-5333.
Q: I can never seem to get in my Kyota Massage chair, someone is always in it. A: We know. It happens. Tell your friends to get their own Kyota Chair.
