Shiatsu back massager
As a person who spends most of their waking time sitting up, I found the Acuvibe personal massager to be a great addition to my Homedics Shiatsu back massager, because it is a local handheld massager. Human Touch also makes massage chairs, but theirs are much more expensive as they are actual padded chairs, not just mats. Acuvibe is specifically designed to work on sensitive points, such as the neck and shoulders.
All Homedics models come with an integrated strapping system, which makes it convenient and easily attachable to almost any chair. Instead of investing in a very expensive office chair, you can transform almost any chair into an amazing massage chair. On cold days, I use the heat option to warm up my muscles before stretching, which I have to do several times a day. Heat helps relieve muscle tension, while massage mechanisms help stimulate circulation. For someone like me with chronic back and neck pain, I keep my back massager secured to my office chair and turn it on once an hour and let it run for about 5-10 minutes while I continue to work. When I have pain in a specific place, like a stiff neck, I use my personal massager to work in those places. Therefore, from personal experience, the best advice is to use both products together.
Portability is important to me too, so that’s another reason I use these products. I also drive quite a bit to see my little grandson, which tends to aggravate my conditions. The Acuvibe personal massager is powered by integral rechargeable NiCad batteries that run for up to 45 minutes on a single charge, although I prefer to charge it after each use, because the full charge time is approximately 8 hours. Since the Therapist Select series is flexible, I also place it on my bed, a great way to relax for sleep. I can lie on my back or side and then adjust the controls for a full or local massage. If you want to get creative, you can wrap the massager around a specific part of the body, such as the leg, if that is where your body needs attention. Independent controls allow you to turn specific areas of the massager on and off, as well as adjust intensity levels. The massager is designed to work the lower back up to the shoulders. As a bonus, at any time, you can alternate between two massage styles, either Shiatsu or rolling massage. Even more incredible is that you can adjust the dials on the massager to suit your height!
Most workers today have little time to spare for themselves, and going to a spa is not always very convenient or affordable. The cost of both products together is approximately equal to 2-3 hours of massage in a health spa. Homedics offers a large selection of massager models designed specifically for chairs. They also have a specifically designed rectangular portable massage mat. Actually, all of their models are portable, smooth, and lightweight. However, you must be careful not to accidentally allow the control to slide under the cushion or you risk melting it.
For added portability, in conjunction with the Acuvibe Personal Massager, you may want to try the Portable Shiatsu Massage Cushion, which although marketed as a Shiatsu back massager, can be used as a seat cushion to massage the gluteal muscles at times. very tense. The gluteal muscles consist of a group of three muscles in the glutes, which when tight or stiff can cause low back pain and hip pain. Hardening or tightening of these muscles can occur even with the average person, like myself, who leads a fairly sedentary lifestyle, as well as with professional athletes and dancers who are sometimes prone to overworking their muscles. These massagers have done wonders for me. In most cases, they helped the recovery process and alleviated immediate pain. However, as with any product, always consult your doctor before use.
