Which type of massager suits you?

You're not sure which massager is suitable for you. That's understandable, because there are different types that all treat or relax a different body part. For example, there are massagers that massage your back, relieve sore muscles, or strengthen your muscles. We'll help you choose the right massager.

Do you want to enjoy an extensive back massage after a long tiring day? Choose a massage chair or large massage pillow. These often use a shiatsu massage technique, which has a relaxing effect. Many large massage chairs have wide sides, so you can also massage your hips. The seat can often vibrate lightly for a vibration massage, so you can relax your back and lower body.
