Let's continue down the list. Coming in second is the BodyFriend Pharaoh NEO.
I'm glad this chair made the list because it is finally getting the recognition it deserves. We actually sell quite a few of these, and once people experience it, they quickly understand why. While it is still gaining popularity in the United States, the Pharaoh NEO has a long history across Asia and has already built a strong reputation.
Its predecessor was known as the Phantom Medical, a model that featured Pulsed Electromagnetic Field, or PEMF, technology. PEMF has been widely recognized in the medical field and has been studied for its potential to support muscle recovery, nerve function, and overall wellness.
The Pharaoh NEO continues that innovation by carrying over BodyFriend's patented hip flexor stretching technology. It is truly one of a kind and, at the time of writing, nothing else on the market works quite the same way. Make no mistake, the independent leg movement is not just for show. While other brands have introduced similar looking features, they cannot replicate this system because the technology is patented.
What makes it different is how it grabs and stretches each leg from a specific angle. Instead of simply pulling your legs apart, it is designed to better engage the hip flexors, iliopsoas, and piriformis muscles. It creates a stretch that feels purposeful and is something I have yet to experience on any other massage chair.
