Massage Pillow

1.A brief introduction to the working principle of massage pillows

The massage pillow was developed to mimic the manual massage technique, which generally involves massaging the body parts by pushing, tapping and kneading, with the magnetic field of the internal massage head stimulating the body parts to achieve a relaxing and circulatory effect.

Although it is a regular movement of the massage head inside, it achieves almost the same effect as the techniques we receive in massage parlours, including soothing the qi and blood, reducing symptoms of fatigue and improving the internal environment of the body, especially for some long-exhausted and stiff spine can play a good role in relieving.

Another function of the massage pillow is the constant heat, infrared rays and hot moxibustion can promote metabolism, enhance blood circulation, relieve neuralgia, eliminate muscle fatigue, regulate qi and blood, adjust the function of internal organs and strengthen the immune system.

2.Do you need a neck back massage pillow？

Although the benefits of massage pillows are numerous, but not everyone is suitable, massage pillows are suitable for sedentary computer workers, teachers and students who work or study for a long time, or driving a car, as well as crafts, sculpture, writing and other specific professionals who need to work with their heads down for a long time. It is also advisable that all these people are at an adult age before they can use it.

So what are the characteristics of people who cannot use body massage pillows?

l Massage pillows are not recommended for those who have a history of neck injuries and have not fully recovered, as a poor control of strength may cause secondary injuries.

l Older people are also not suitable for massage pillows, the bones of the elderly are generally more fragile, and the strength of the massage pillow is easy to accidentally hurt the bones, so it is best to confirm their physical condition before use.

l Pregnant women and children are also best exposed to massage pillows, children are still in the growing stage, the development of the bones are squeezed massage will affect the growth, and pregnant women's acupressure points are not correct if it will affect the development of the fetus.

In summary, although not absolute, it is important to check and reconfirm before using a massage pillow, and consult if necessary.

3.What are the key points to buy a good massage pillow?

As mentioned earlier there are in fact many forms of massage pillows, the specific choice can be made by referring to the points I have listed.

（1）Massage style

The massage pillow is a simulation of human massage, only the details of the difference, the strength and technique are related to the individual's ability to bear, the same force may feel comfortable for some people will feel pain. My advice here is to choose the one that has more adjustable levels, the detailed classification also represents the brand's strict control over the strength, so often the richness of the function and the variety of levels is also a way to test the product's level of care.The number of kneading heads in a massage pillow is also an important selection parameter, the number also determines the form of massage, some techniques are simply kneading, while others are abundant and can be targeted pressure and tui-na, more efficient to relax the muscles and bones to release pressure.

（2）Budget

Massage pillows are basically budget friendly and can be easily owned by students to working adults. A minimum of a hundred dollars can be had, but I personally do not recommend choosing a low-priced unscrupulous brand of massage pillow, after all, is in contact with the body of the instrument, the safety performance must be looked at some heavy. The high price of several hundred, in the hot compress function and massage head will have the corresponding upgrade, the pursuit of a little more professional can be considered.

On the one hand, many brands in this range have different models to choose from, and on the other hand, as I said, it is easy to start without too much financial pressure.

（3）Electricity usage

Considering that this is a relatively small massage device, this is also included in the shopping guide. Because it can be moved and carried freely, it can be used in a variety of environments. Classrooms, offices or cars, wherever there is a seat.

So if you have more space to move around, it is advisable to choose a storage or wireless one, so you don't have to look around for a socket to use it directly, which is convenient and quick. And if you spend a lot of time at home, there is nothing to tie you down, so you can choose between plug-in or storage.
