Want a massage? Then give yourself one by getting one of the many available self-massaging devices available on store shelves in most retailers.
Massagers are pretty common gadgets and they’re usually pretty easy to use. Most of them anyway, with the notable exception of the foot-powered back massager with hand tool that you see pictured below.
Even their model looks like she’s having a hard time with the device, but maybe that’s just me imagining what it would be like to try using this thing they call a massager.
It’ll probably be easier to use though, once you get the hang of it. The massager is described as allowing “the user to apply firm pressure for extended periods of time while completey relaxing the target muscles.” It also instructs users to adjust the push-button locking pin for back pain relief. Or you could just go see a good massage therapist.
The foot-powered back massager retails for about $50 (USD) over on Amazon.

Japan might not like to use the nomenclature of the english speaking world. A vibrator is called “Handy Massager” and porn is called AV. Even with the different names, there is no difference in popularity for these type of devices. The J-AV industry, annually grossing billions of Yens, makes being an AV-Idol one of the top-paid “modelling jobs” on the market.
Madenma, or short “Denma” started out as a fairly simple company manufacturing regular massaging equipment. It came as a shock for the company when suddenly their product started getting plenty of visibility in AV (Adult Video) features. The free advertising clearly paid off, as it only took a few years for Madenma to transform from massage specialist into the top selling vibrator brand in Japan.
The company got so famous with these massagers, that they started creating cordless models an kinky coloured models in different sizes. There is a small “Handy Massager” in the family <about 3.3cm x 18.5cm> appropriately named ” Fairy Mini Mini ” priced at around 3500 Yen. The ” Fairy Baby ” is the smallest member of their lineup measuring a mere 2cm x 7cm and powered by USB/smartphone charger.
Their biggest model is called “Power Shake” ( 6cm x 28cm ) also priced around 3500 Yen, “Industry grade” quality. Specifications as follows:
So if you’re a girl who wants to get her “buzz” on, feel free to visit the Madenma website or order yours (and other massaging equipment) right from our friends at J-List Japan.
Getting a massage at the end of a long and hard day at work to relieve your body of all its aches and pains is definitely one of the more enjoyable things in life, and while you cannot have a masseur come over to your home at your beck and call all the time (not to mention that doing so would wreak havoc on your monthly finances), why not rely on technology to help you get the job done? This is where the $69.95 Heated Massage Magnetic Cushion comes in handy, where it delivers infra-heat and pinpoint massage relief.
To put it simply, the Heated Massage Magnetic Cushion is a massage cushion that is capable of targeting specific areas for relief while stimulating circulation. Sporting Bio-Magnets, this unique cushion is capable of conforming itself to the body’s natural position, in order to better target specific areas of the body. There will be five massaging motors as well as a couple of infrared heat lights that will work in tandem in order to pinpoint the spots that are most prone to back tension, while energizing tissues and loosening tense upper shoulder muscles. That is not all, however, as there are other specific points contacted including the upper thigh and leg muscles, and the neck muscles.

I’ve seen some strange mice over the years, but this mouse that doubles as a vibrating massager is one of the strangest. The mouse is called simply the Massage Mouse and has an ambidextrous design.
Designed to help you work out tension while you work on your computer, the wireless will offer 10 different vibration levels and two different vibration patterns, including steady and pulse modes. It’s not just designed to massage your hand though – you can pick it up to work out knots in your shoulders, arms, neck or **anywhere**. The mouse is wireless and has recharging base that connects to the computer via USB. The device uses optical tracking technology and has three buttons on the side to control the massaging effect. It lacks actual buttons instead using a touch sensitive surface for clicking. The mouse also has “relaxing” LED illumination around the outside and will work for Mac or Windows users.
Pricing and availability for the Massage Mouse are unknown, though it will be shown off at CES in January 2013.
Nothing beats getting a massage after a long, hard day at work. But if you’re too beat to even drive to your favorite spa or call for home service, then there’s another alternative (provided it gets manufactured, that is): the eSSage.
It might not be the first time someone thought about making a self-massaging suit so that you can, well, give yourself a massage, but it’s one of the concepts that pretty well thought-out. It’s controlled remotely via an Android or iOS app, where you can point your stylus (or finger) on the nodes that you want to work on.
You can also have someone else “do” the massage for you by passing on the app and stylus.
The eSSage is a concept design by André Cofield. What do you think?
