Don’t we all just love massages? Lounging in the luxury of a massage chair or, even better, lying on a mattress while it vibrates the spine gently but firmly — massages at home never felt so good. So say goodbye to stress and hello to indulgence even as these gadgets, with just a click of the remote, knead your muscles, soothe your tired nerves and help you face the grind of the next day.
Musical chair
It’s really the ultimate at-home spa experience and once you sit in any of the Proline massage chairs, you’ll realise how the latest technology can help relieve stress by working on specific areas of the body. The footrest of the Proline music massager chair, for example, gently grips your calves as the power recline moves back, arching your body in a relaxing stretch. It’s a high to also experience the foot massage that this massage chair is equipped to offer. Along with the massage function, the product features a vibration board to effectively massage the soles and muscles of the feet. The multifunctional massage chair is specifically designed to relieve stress and aches of muscle pains and has numerous massage functions, including kneading, knocking, tapping and even Shiatsu which target problem areas such as the back, shoulders and neck. Price: Rs. 1.45 lakh
Face off
With the EyeFace Massager you can lean back in your chair and have the gadget massage the area around your eyes. Even better, the sounds of waves and chirping of birds help you to relax better. So, forget all your worries at work and home for five minutes and give yourself that break you have been longing for. The eyeface massage is a fantastic innovation and you shouldn’t be without it. It works on the principle of magnetic therapy and has 22 strong natural magnets with seven treating modes that knead and massage your face and eyes very gently while also working in accordance with sound therapy. Price: Rs 20,000
Pillow talk
If you find massage chairs bulky and expensive, you might want to take a look at the reasonably-priced range of massagers from HoMedics, a UK-based company which also supplies its products to India. The massage mattress from HoMedics works on a dual massage mechanism to give Shiatsu healing as well as heating therapy to your back. While this costs Rs 10,000 (minus shipping charges), there’s also the portable massager pillow available at Rs 500. There are also cosy massager slippers which, when slipped on, vibrate to treat the soles of your feet. These are available for Rs 1,000 (minus shipping charging and taxes).
It’s pen for zen, silly
In the DIY home massage category OSIM’s iPen is a great option, combining the elegance of a writing instrument with an in-built massager. It is sophisticated and stylish, the in-built massager useful for massaging points to ease certain ailments and conditions. Available at Rs 1,499, it’s a great gifting option too.
