Massage is the Message for Giving

Need to get a massage, but don’t have the time? The HoMedics Quad Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Heat puts the power of relaxation in your own hands at home. 

Do you ever need to sit down and have a moment? Of course, you don’t. Superwoman never needs a break. Well, for the rest of us mere mortals who need to exhale, rest is not kryptonite, but it can be a luxury, especially during this time of year when you’re making lists and checking them twice.

So for those moments that maybe your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/partner doesn’t want massage those ridiculous knots in your neck and back, you can save the argument and have a little spa treatment all to yourself – massage, mood lightning and something t

The HoMedics Quad Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Heat puts the power of relaxation in your own hands – literally. There are 12 massage nodes, 2 massage styles, 3 zones and a soothing heat function.  With three massage styles and zone control, this massage cushion puts you in control of your massage experience. Whether you’re looking for a fast, invigorating percussion massage, deep muscle kneading massage, or a gentle rolling massage, the Quad Shiatsu Massage Cushion offers it all…and enables you to fully relax after a long day (or year!)

This chair knows all my spots, what buttons to press and adds a little heat just to send small shivers down my spine. If one of the nodes can’t reach the knot, I just readjust myself. It’s really an intimate experience – hurts but feels oh so good. Don’t be scared to let out some of those feelings….even if it does resemble sounds of pleasure.

Thirty minutes later, I got up from my chair feeling relaxed, lose and ready to take on the day! Oh, I must do this again, I thought to myself.

So, the next day, I did just that, except this time, I made a little spa treatment for myself. I grabbed my favorite face mask, lit some holiday-scented candles and poured myself some spicy Chai tea. My husband looked at me with confusion and wondered what I was doing.

“I have a hot date with a chair,” I told him.

Nothing could ever replace my loving husband, but for those nights when I know he’s tired, I can sneak away for some quiet time to my second lover who knows just what to do.

If you have lower back pain, you can set the chair to target those areas. If you prefer kneading to tapping, just press that setting. Or if you’re like me and EVERYTHING hurts after a long day, than just sit back, relax and enjoy those 30 minutes of relaxation. And when the cycle ends, start again. The chair doesn’t get tired.

I felt a little tingle go down my spine as I got up to go to bed. Such a simple night, but so much satisfaction.
