To avoid this, the choice should be approached thoroughly, having studied all the specifics of the massage pillows.

Our experts conducted a thorough analysis of the market, on the basis of which they ranked the top 7 massage pads. When creating the rating, opinions of experienced physiotherapists were also taken into account.

What to look for when choosing a massage cushion

1. Impact Varieties. There are two main types: vibratory and roller. The first option involves the impact on the nerve ending with the help of vibrations of the desired area. Thus, the reaction is triggered - the muscles relax, and blood circulation improves. In such models, there is an adjustment of the amplitude and frequency. The intensity of the massage will depend on the parameters set by the user. The advantages of such devices include a gentle effect and a low cost, and from the minuses they distinguish low efficiency and irritation arising with time for constant vibration. The second option is more in demand, since the principle of impact is based on the imitation of manual massage. The role of fingers and palms here is performed by special rollers located inside the pillow. Traditionally, models use the same technology - the Japanese Shiatsu system. The user can switch modes, choosing whether the rollers will work clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby changing the effect of the massage. Of the minuses called a hard impact, which is not everyone likes, and the relative high cost.
2. Roller fabrication material. Rollers from jade began to use not so long ago, but have already gained considerable popularity. Differ in high heat capacity and wear resistance. The user does not need to wait for them to heat up. The accumulated heat is transferred to the area to be massaged, thereby increasing efficiency. Nephrite over time is not erased, does not crumble. Inexpensive models of massage pillows are most often equipped with plastic rollers. The only advantage of this option is cheap.
3. The presence of infrared light. As we know, heat increases the effectiveness of the procedure. If you are unable to purchase a model with jade rollers, then look at the pillows with infrared light. It will provide the necessary heating of the massaged area.
4. Material of the cover. Fabrics are inexpensive and practical. Do not have a cushioning effect that would dampen the energy coming from the rollers. Because of this, the massage is more sensitive.The fabric is also not susceptible to heat or cold, which means the surface will always be a comfortable temperature. Durability is ensured by vinyl coating or the use of woven fabric. Cases made of genuine leather or leatherette have more disadvantages than advantages. During use, the material cracks, breaks, stretches, abrades. This is especially enhanced when exposed to the sun or frost. The skin, because of its thickness, blocks the energy of the rollers, which affects the effectiveness of the massage.
5. Remote control. Almost all modern models have a remote control included. It allows you to quickly switch modes, change the speed and intensity of exposure, without interrupting the massage procedure.
