Infinite Therapeutics has introduced the IT-8500 massage chair as a step-up from the already popular IT-8100. In addition to a stretch program, the IT-8500 chair also boasts a spinal correction feature, full shoulder airbag massage, a headphone port for your own private music, 2 zero gravity positions, intersound technology, a more vigorous roller system, and much, much more. This is all in addition to the features you already expect from a massage chair: foot rollers, head rotation airbags, touch screen remote, mp3 music system, and full body airbags.
- Zero Gravity - 2 zero gravity positions to encourage a "weightless" position. Ideal for low back pain sufferers, the zero gravity function mimics the optimal position as determined by NASA's space program. Optimal weight distribution removes excessive pressure from any one part of your spine.
- Inversion Therapy - A full recline of the chair back, accompanied by the zero gravity seat positioning, produces an inversion effect to the spine, distracting the joints of the spine.
- Mechanical Foot Rollers - While most massage chairs have airbag compression of the feet and calves, the IT-8500 massage chair has 3 mechanical foot rollers that work the sole of each of your feet. Very soothing!!
- Foot and Calf Airbags - Airbag compression to enhance circulation of the blood and lymph from the legs to the heart.
- Spinal Correction - Shoulder airbags that compress the front of the shoulders and pin them back, while the rollers move up and down the spine. This feature will leave you feeling like you are standing taller and straighter after you have used this feature.
- Body Scan - The pinpoint body scan figures out the shape of your spine and the location of your spinal curves so that the chair can cater ever-so personally to your own particular body type.
- Seat Airbag Massage and Sway - The IT-8500 massage chair employs seat airbags that move the seat from side to side and up and down, enhancing passive motion to an area of the body that is very hard to reach without the assistance of an actual therapist. Fantastic feature if you have low back pain.
- Air Neck Massage - A gently rotation airbag massage relaxes the neck muscles and lulls you to sleep while the chair weaves it's magic.
- Accu-Roll Shoulder Massage - A full complement of shoulder airbags that will envelope your whole shoulder joint and give it the attention that is lacking in other massage chairs.
- Tru-Grip V Stretch - Airbags will grip your shoulders, arms, and lower body while the chair back and ottoman raise and lower...giving you a stretch you will both love and never forget.
- Lumbar Heat - The thickness of the body tissues in the low back makes warming up a hard thing to do. A lumbar heating element will assist in that process so that blood flows to those thick tissues a little quicker.
- Acuroll Neck & Shoulder Massage - This model utilizes 5 sensors to help assess and then provide the most accurate neck and shoulder massage.
- mp3 Music System - The music system includes a USB port for a jump drive full of your favorite music, external speakers, a headphone port so that you can enjoy your music in your own little space, and intersound technology, which basically is a speaker system that faces inward toward the user.
- 45' Program Timer - You can schedule your massage chair to be anywhere from 10-45 minutes long...the longest of any massage chair timer in the marketplace.
- 30.25" Roller Track

Tanja Jackman review of Infinity IT-8500 Massage ChairDec 18, 2012 at 09:38 PM
We just receieved our chair and are in love with it but are even more in love with the infinity brand and dr.weidner
Pros:
amazing stretch program
great foot rollers
great quality work
the heat acutally is nice and hot and over a largerer area than other
better massages than chairs that are double the price
sound system is great
very comfortable
it gets all the way to the top of your neck - all the way down your tailbone and it gets into your neck/shoulder area that many other chairs fail
cons:
i would have liked body scanning in all modes not just the 4 pre-set modes.
I would have liked that the strength of the rollers could be adjusted, its a little on the harsh side at the beginning but you get used to it.
a memory function would be great as well
the head rest airbags only work in relax
however compared to the one at brookstone - this is a steal
compared to about to all but 1 of the human touch it blows them out the water
compared to a $7000 chair - this one brings the best bang for your bucks

Richard Collins review of Infinity IT-8500 Massage ChairDec 14, 2012 at 06:56 PM
I have had this chair for a week now and my wife and I love it.I looked at this chair and the Osaki chair for over a year before buying the Infinity IT8500. Both chairs sounded great but,I decided on this one. The Infinity was a little smaller in overall size then the Osaki and several hundred cheaper. The stretch mode is great and will make you feel good afterwards.I only wish that you could control the intensity of the rollers. All in all I have no complaints, and would recommend this chair to everyone.

I just recently bought this chair from another website but absolutely love it! I sat in many chairs including the Inada at a local trade show and when I received my 8500 for half the money I was amazed how similar if not better it was! The rollers in the feet and the sway in the seat that really loosens up by lower back muscles is great. My favorite part is the decompression stretch mode! I would recommend this chair to anyone. Best chair i have used!
