Acupressure Mat

One of the most successful and recommended devices ever! Can be used in many ways and mostly works to disperses any intense concentrated pain or tension.

A core pressure and exercises device for any deep muscular area in the body like the back, neck, thighs etc. I find it very useful for releasing muscular tension in the spinal area and even in the abdominal area (still pressure).


 Acupillow

Another great and simple device to realign the spinal area. Very good for relieving pains and aches due to an overly stressed back and neck while lying passively on it for a few minutes at a time. One can even sleep on it for the night due to its silicon based elastic material. Great for back/neck muscles spasm. I have tried and recommend it!

Spikey foot massage bar

This incredibly simple device provides great acupressure stimulation to our feet, controlled by our body weight, that can relief a whole daily tension in just a few minutes! It has two groups of spikes and can fit any type of ache. Best used in standing.


Electric massager with Infra-Red heat

Electric percussion massager from HOMEDICS brand. Used by professional such as Chiropractors etc. Very effective in releasing thick muscle cramps in minutes. Plugs to a regular outlet and includes IR warming heat.


Plastic Neck Massager

A very good manual neck massager that can reach the deepest neck tissues and relief neck stiffness within a few minutes. Care must be put in cases of medical issues or health complications involving over stimulation of the sympathetic nerve system.



Plastic Octopus Massager 1

Plastic Octopus Massager

A simple yet very effective manual device for massaging flat areas and also for deeper pressure holding it backwards (holding the legs and pressuring with the head) and working on the belly. Try laying down on it in supine position for back/hip pressure. can be used in many ways!

Plastic Octopus Massager 2

The best manual device for skull (head) massage! Can relax a stressful headache within a few minutes. Most recommended for computer/office workers!


Electric Heating Pad

Warming our achy and tired body areas is easily done, very affordable and safe with this Electric Heating Pad. Good for Muscle soreness/fatigue, or even for stomach soreness/fatigue (with pain). Lower back is great for general soreness/fatigue.

Shiatsu-Anma for Maintenance

Shiatsu-Anma , Japanese traditional Acupressure therapy and bodywork, has served as part of traditional Asian medicine for centuries, aiding patients in promoting their health, alleviating many common ailments and even helping cure serious conditions, under the guidance of professional healers.
