Review: Montage Elite Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire

We present this massage review for those interested in learning more about the Omega Montage Elite massage chair. The Montage Elite is one of the high end massage chairs made by Omega. We will make an evaluation of the important features, functions and warranty coverage of this massage recliner. Here is our review of the Omega Montage Elite massage chair recliner.

It is important to compare warranty coverage between models and also between brands. There can be some major differences in coverage. Massage chairs are increasing in complexity and sophistication. Warranty coverage is your insurance against any defects in materials or workmanship. Just like insurance, you hope you never need it, but just in case it is there.

What kind of warranty coverage do you get with the Montage Elite? Omega gives you 5 years on the frame. There is 3 years for both parts and labor. You also get 1 year of free parts shipping. One important part of warranty coverage is in-home service which is covered for the first 90 days you own the massage chair. This is solid warranty coverage for this high end luxury lounger.

Automatic programs are pre-programmed massages designed by the manufacturer to maximize the functions of the massage chair. The Montage Elite comes with five different automatic programs. Each of the five automatic programs is developed around a theme and includes the following: Activation, Relaxation, Vitality, Night and Morning. Activation and Vitality are more vigorous programs providing deeper massage therapy. Vitality is somewhat in the middle. Morning and Night are similar to warming up for Morning and warming down for Night.

There are also 4 manual massage techniques. The Montage Elite has kneading, tapping, finger press and shiatsu. These are further complimented with 6 manual back courses. You can choose from full back, lower back, middle back upper back, shoulder and neck. The shoulder and neck are unique to Omega. You can get the upper neck and base of the skull or the shoulders and the lower neck. These are very relieving for built up tension in those areas.

Your lower body is in for a treat with the Montage Elite. Omega incorporates an air compression style massage for the buttocks, hips, calves and feet. Air bags are used to deliver a compression style massage. The compression style massage uses a squeeze, hold and release pattern. This is very soothing and relieving for tight and sore muscles.

How about a nice stretch of the lower body? The Montage Elite delivers. The lower body traction system will stretch out your lower body. The stretch is activated which will raise the leg rest to a horizontal position. The leg rest then lowers to 3 different successively lower positions. This extends out your hips, thighs, knees and ankles. This helps improve your range of motion.

A therapy commonly used by physical therapists is the application of heat. Heat is known to aid in the reduction of swelling of muscle tissue and to increase the blood flow. The Montage Elite has incorporated heat into three parts of the massage chair. Each part can be controlled individually. There is heat in chair back, seat and the leg rest. Why not relax and tune out the world with the MP3 player. Download your favorite tunes onto the USB stick and slip on the headphones. Drift away as the massage chair works you over.

The Montage Elite has an attractive, contemporary design. It comes in black, dark brown and ivory. The arm rests actually lift up and allows for wheelchair access. This is an outstanding luxury class massage recliner. It comes with one of the best warranties in its class. There is a full range of massage therapy capabilities and complimentary features. If you are looking at a higher end massage chair, you owe it to yourself to check out the Omega Montage Elite massage chair.
