My Personal Experience Using OHCO M.8 Massage Chair
As an expert in the massage chair industry, I can say that the OHCO M.8 Massage Chair is truly the pinnacle of engineering.
This Japanese-made massage chair is a masterful symphony of movement that provides a therapeutic experience like no other. The M.8’s MaxTrack technology is able to follow the contours of your back with unparalleled precision, while its 4D massage feature ensures that you receive a deep-tissue massage that is tailored to your needs.

One of the standout features of the OHCO M.8 Massage Chair is its Arms of Embrace design, which is like having the hands of a massage therapist holding and compressing your forearms, palms, and fingertips. With 12 independently controlled air cells, there are over 479 million massage patterns to choose from, and you’ll surely find one that offers the sweetest and most therapeutic caress for you.
Another impressive feature of the M.8 is its TheraElliptical Calf Kneading (TEK), which uses complex movements to mimic the hands of a shiatsu master as it gently compresses and kneads your calves. This feature enhances circulation and leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed.

The M.8’s Total Body Heat feature is also exceptional, as independently controlled heat zones in the feet, palms, back, and seat deliver comfort, relax muscles, and stimulate circulation. Additionally, the M.8 features an Air Ionizer and White Noise Generator that clears the air of dust, dander, spores, and other irritants, while providing a relaxing atmosphere with the sound of ocean waves.
What Makes OHCO M.8 Massage Chair Stand Out from the Competition?
The OHCO M.8 Massage Chair stands out from its competition with its unique features. It has a MaxTrack + DeltaWave technology that mimics a lifelike massage. It also has an Inversion + Zero-Gravity feature that helps to relieve pressure off your back and enhances the massage experience. Another feature that makes it stand out is its Body Scanning & Manual Roller Adjustment which maps the curvature of your back before auto-adjusting its rollers to provide you with a custom-fit massage.

Neck Pillow Rollers
With the OHCO M.8, you can get a neck massage while still using a pillow to prop your head up while getting a neck massage. You can’t feel the rollers when they come up to your neck when you use neck pillows for elevating your head for comfort. This problem can be solved with neck pillow rollers.
3D MaxTrack Roller Mechanism
You can adjust the depth of the rollers on the OHCO M.8 massage chair to get a more or less intense massage experience since it has a roller track that extends from the top of your neck to the bottom of your seat.

You can also opt for the Ohco M.8 LE when you want an exclusive massage chair that not only delivers an amazing experience but will also be a stunning display in your home.
OHCO M.DX
In this article, I will outline a few features that distinguish the M.Dx from the M.8. This model has recently gained some attention after being featured in Costco, which is why I have written this article to clarify confusion between these two models.
The OHCO M.8 massage chair & OHCO M.Dx differ in the following ways:
- The M.8 headpiece has a roller mechanism. There are no rollers on the M.Dx. Yes, it has a full-length roller track that massages the neck, the midback, the low back, and the buttocks, but it does not have a second roller unit in the headpiece like the M.8.
- Air ionizers and aromatherapy modules are not included in the M.Dx.
- Rollers, feet, seats, palms, backs, and neck pillows have heating elements in the M.8. In contrast, the M.Dx does not have heating elements in the rollers, feet, seats, palms, backs, or neck pillows.
- Saddle, Midnight, Walnut, Bordeaux, and Pearl are the colors available for the M.8, whereas midnight black and walnut brown are the colors available for the M.Dx.
- Only the M.8 model has its components exported to Japan for assembly, quality-control testing, and programming. Both M.8 and M.Dx models are manufactured in China. China manufactures, assembles, tests, and programs the M.Dx.
- The M.8 has 10 motors, while the M.Dx has 9. The missing motor is probably related to the rollers in the headpiece.
- M.Dx does not include neck rollers, so it only has 10 total rollers, compared to 12 total rollers in M.8.
- Approach lighting illuminates the M.8 when someone approaches it in a dark room. A great visual effect AND a great way to protect your toes from stubbed toes. A similar approach lighting is not available on the M.Dx.
What Do Users Say About OHCO M.8 Medical Massage Chair?
Considering the weight of a chair without its packaging, we won’t move it. Once you master the controls, they become intuitive after a bit of time. To ensure that the massage chair delivers the best massage, we start by making sure your posture is correct in the massage chair. Unlike other chairs, this one has doors that make entering and exiting very convenient. Our decision to purchase this massage chair was greatly influenced by this feature, even though we are both in our 70s even though we are still very ambulatory.
A simple push of the home key initiates both preprogrammed and focused massages once you’re in the massage chair. There is a subtle difference in the overall impact they deliver from gentle to somewhat intense in each of these. Overall, their descriptions seem well thought out and well delivered.
It has been about a month since we received our massage chair. Our choice has so far proven to be a good one. The best choice for us was this chair after trying out the different models. In addition to offering multiple options, this massage chair is capable of targeting specific body parts. It is convenient to be able to link two programs and the control is user-friendly.
Our sleep quality has improved since we started using the massage chair every day. Our monthly massages have been replaced by daily at-home massages now that we can both enjoy them.
