Product Information

There are several types of massage chairs on the market, but before buying one you need to know what type of therapy it offers and the features you should look for. Therapy types

A key aspect of this massager is the sleek touchscreen display panel, enabling effortless control setting adjustments. A convenient remote control is also included for added practicality. One downside is the absence of an adjustable tilt function, necessitating a fixed 90-degree knee angle. This limitation could detract from the overall relaxation experience for some users who prefer to use it with their legs outstretched. When used on larger muscles, it relieves pain and cramps, especially if you use a 6-head nozzle. Each of its heads is equipped with 8 silicone fingers for deep, fast and intensive muscle massage. One more advantage I’d like to mention is the unit’s portability, meaning that you are no longer dependent on an outlet and can use it on the road, in a plane, in a queue or anywhere else! It weighs less than its rivals (only 1.8 pounds). Vibrating massagers cause muscle contraction, improve blood circulation and temperature of the treated area. This therapy is recommended for dealing with neuralgia and fatigue, relieves pain and relaxes muscles. However, experts warn that vibrations can negatively affect nerve tissue because “nerves do not like being battered.”Our expert tester trialled a range of massage guns over a three-week period, using them after a wide range of exercises, from weightlifting and running to HIIT and yoga. They considered how easy each massage gun was to control, how smoothly it moved over the skin and whether the different massage head attachments were effective, as well as the practicality and intuitiveness of each massager's controls and overall design.

Best High-End Option: Osim uPhoria– A luxurious, high-quality massager offering advanced features, multiple massage modes, and a sleek, elegant design for a top-of-the-line massage experience. Now, let’s consider another product within this price range, which is obviously advertised as a powerful massager for athletes. This device delivers percussion massage and is recommended as a muscle recovery tool. It comes with three tips, two of which are intended for small and large muscle groups, while the third one is used for deep tissue massage. The majority of hand massagers on our list are electric, but there are other types available. Electric hand massagers offer a number of benefits, such as heat and effortless massage; but if an electric hand massager doesn’t appear right for you, there are self-massage options that tend to come in at more affordable prices. These include smooth and spiky roller balls, as well as handheld rolling massagers that can loosen knots and relax the hands. How does a hand massager relieve pain?The TENS machine is another therapy suggested for treating sore muscles. The unit works by creating tapping and kneading that make the muscles relax. For instance, Hui En Gilpin from Pacific University has conducted a study to find out whether TENS machines are able to relieve severe pain in patients with osteoarthritis. The results have shown a significant improvement in pain following ten sessions. Based on these results, the researcher recommends using TENS equipment at 100 Hz and 200 µs for 40 minutes five times a week for two weeks. That said, British scientists from Leeds Metropolitan University note that TENS does not work for postoperative or labor pain.
