MERRIMACK, N.H., Aug. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookstone, the multichannel specialty retailer and product development company, launched the OSIM uAstro™ 2 Massage Chair. The latest addition to the company's extensive massage line, the uAstro 2 conveniently takes professional-quality massage out of the spa and brings it into your home.

The uAstro 2 massage chair promotes overall well-being through state-of-the-art massage programs available at the push of a button. With optical scanners that roll up and down your spine at the beginning of each massage, the uAstro 2 massage chair recognizes the width of your body and scales its massage to match your exact shape. This benefit, combined with built-in lumbar heat that warms muscles in the lower back, enables the uAstro 2 massage chair to make your body more receptive to the benefits of massage.

Twelve programs and five intensity levels further customize the experience, along with 48-chamber air massagers that gently squeeze arms, legs, feet and hips. The uAstro 2 massage chair also boasts a design that elevates your legs to a "zero-gravity" position, which relieves pressure from head to toe and allows you to massage your way to relaxation, reduced stress and unrivaled invigoration.

"As a long-trusted source for massage, we believe that it is an integral element of peak performance in daily life – whether you work in an office or outdoor environment, or are a weekend athlete," said Stephen Bebis, Brookstone president and CEO. "The uAstro 2 massage chair is the ideal outlet for stress relief and revitalization every day."

Additional uAstro 2 massage chair features include:

Rolling footrest massage that renews sore, tired calves and feet
Gentle squeezing, vibration armrest massagers that massage palms as well
Extra upper-body room to accommodate those with broader shoulders

The uAstro 2 massage chair is available in Brookstone retail locations and online at Brookstone.com for $3,499 plus shipping and processing. Full-service setup and functional tests are performed upon delivery, and special financing is available in stores.
