Which type of Medisana massager suits you?
How do you use the device?
Massage pillows: compact and easy
There are massage pillows that you just put down and lean into, but there are neck massagers that you'll have to keep in place yourself too. These devices have long handles to put your hands in. The harder you pull the handles, the stronger the massage feels.
- You can choose the intensity of the massage by pressing the pillow harder into your muscles.
- The pillows are small, so they don't cover a lot of muscles at the same time.
Massage chair: large and extensive
Because you have to place the massage chair on a couch or chair, the massage pillow shouldn't be too large for your furniture. Does this massage device fit into your house? You'll have to option to massage body parts separately too, in addition to a complete back and shoulder massage. You can focus just on the lower back or your shoulders, for example.
- Massage chairs often have multiple programs.
- The massage chairs are quite large and have to fit on your chair or couch.
Foot massager: simple and warm
You just put your feet into the massage pillow and that's all. With many devices, you can choose between multiple massage programs. They also stop automatically when the program is done. This is important, because you don't want to massage your muscles for too long. It can become painful at some point.
- Because the pillows cover your entire feet, you won't get cold feet during the massage.
- The massage may be painful if you have sensitive feet or aren't used to foot massages.
Which body part do you want to massage?
Massage pillows: for diverse use
A massage pillow is a small device that you can use to massage muscles. You can choose which body parts you want to treat. Put the pillow behind your back or neck while you sit in a chair, for example. Or, sit on it to massage your glutes. You can also put your legs on the pillow while you lay down on the couch.
- You can choose which body part you want to massage.
- You can't massage different muscle groups at the same time.
Massage chair: complete massage
If you want to massage your entire back, and possibly your shoulders and butt, a massage chair is suitable for you. These are extra large appliances that you can put on your chair or couch. Some chairs have extra options, like a vibrating seat or larger sides to massage your hips or waist.
- You can massage multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
- The pillow doesn't reach all the way to the shoulders or neck of tall people.
Foot massagers: just for your feet
With a foot massager, you can bring the feel of a spa into your home. These devices often only massage the bottom of your feet, but some also have an air pressure function to softly massage the top of your feet too.
- The massager is meant for your feet, so the massages balls don't roll over your feet too hard.
- You can't use the device for other body parts.
