Infrared Back Massager – Detailed Review
By admin | January 2, 2010
The roller systems of infrared back massager gives a firm massage with just the needed thrust to give the feel of a real and experienced massage therapist. It perfectly replaces a massage chair costing up to $2000; yet gives the same quality of massage.
Here’s what you get:
Kneading
On your shifting the massager to kneading mode, you’ll experience being massaged by the hands of a professional therapist. The massage can be applied either from the outer edges of the back towards the spine or from the spine outwards to the back muscles. There is provision for adjustment of speed and intensity to three different levels.
Infrared Lights
Infrared lights are different from ultra-violet lights and don’t cause any harm to you. These provide some warmth that helps better circulation of blood. A study published by The American Journal of Geriatrics indicates that infrared heating offered relief from pain to the elderly. For the last 25 years, Asians have been using infrared lights for medical treatments.
Looks and Feels Just Like Genuine Leather:
Though it looks and feels like genuine leather, the quality of this man made leather makes it more durable than natural leather that wears down faster because of the frequent wear-and-tear it is subjected to by the moving components of the massager. This is expected to last a couple of years.
Very Portable
The massage cushion is sized for ease of carrying around with you to your office or even while you travel. Of further convenience is its design that allows it to be used with any of these chairs:
* Office Chairs
* Recliners
* Camping Chairs
* Folding Chairs
* Dining Room Chairs
* Even works in Wheel Chairs
Foot Massager
You may even use the Infrared back Massager as a foot massager. Leave the cushion on the ground, while you sit in your favorite chair and let your feet rest directly on the cushion. The massage rollers and infrared lights help to alleviate foot pain.
The portable Infrared Back Massager is found helpful for:
* Relieving Muscle and back pain.
* Reducing stress.
* Improving blood circulation.
Another device making use of modern technology for getting traditional massages is the massage cushion. It performs the functions of kneading and its rotating is controlled by a microcomputer. It is perfect for the waist, neck, back, legs and feet. Here again infrared heat goes to enhance the effects of a soothing and relaxing massage.
How Does Infrared Back Massager Feel?

Thera Cane Massager
By admin | December 1, 2009
As is already known to many people, the Thera Cane is simply a plain bar that is easy to hold in many different ways so as to apply pressure on specific points of your neck, back and shoulders etc in a very natural manner. The otherwise difficult to reach area can be approached with this simple device.
This well designed device comes with a manual that offers possible suggestions for holding the cane to establish the desired contact with different areas of the body. Once you have understood the basics as provided in the manual, you can try your hand to allow the cane to explore the far-reaching pain areas for getting relief.
While you use one arm as a pivot, the other may be used as a lever to pull-push the cane to reach most of the trigger points in the upper or mid back region. One may lean back on the Thera Cane, keeping it pinned against the seatback while working on the computer. In such a position your arms won’t be working much and only stabilize the cane as the weight of your upper body (while sitting back) offers the needed force for working on a trigger point or such an area.
In my case the Thera Cane has indeed offered me an ability of self-help. Ever since I started using it to take care of my chronic back pain, it has offered me a couple of important things that I narrate here:
1. Working on my trigger points in between my therapy sessions has been able to help me cutting on the prescribed drugs. Generally, I use the cane before taking medication when the pain flares up and the result is that pain is reduced considerably, enabling me to continue with my normal activities.
2. It helps me to classify locations of new or still-prominent trigger points before my forthcoming visit to the Physical Therapist.
3. Contrary to my own expectations, I feel more confident in better managing my present condition than before I started using the Thera Cane. That’s not to say that exercising or stretching is no good, but all those have their own plus features coupled with certain limitations. Here is a simple device that enables you to help yourself.
During my regular visits to friends and relatives, I carry the cane with me so that I can continue with my regimen of exercises with it. No body ever seemed bothered about my lifestyle. On the contrary, people have been appreciative of my efforts of learning to cope with my physical limitations and my attitude of taking self-help for myself.
