Which Body Massage Tool is Right For You?

 

We all love massage, it feels so good, but how do you use a massage tool —like our SHAPE SHIFTER Massage Tool—to get the most from your at-home massages?

 

WHY SHOULD YOU USE A BODY MASSAGE TOOL?

Using body massage tools offers numerous benefits, including stress reduction, enhanced relaxation, pain relief, decreased muscle soreness, improved circulation, and better lymphatic drainage.

To select the ideal body massage tool and method for your needs, start by determining the type of massage you prefer. Swedish massage employs long, smooth strokes, whereas deep tissue massage uses more pressure to target deeper muscle layers.

Additionally, consider choosing a massager with various attachments tailored for different body areas, such as a detachable head for the neck and shoulders.

Next, prioritize the benefits that matter most to you.

If targeting muscle pain relief is your goal, consider opting for an electric model. Vibrating back massagers and body massager machines provide a consistent, deep massage, ideal for addressing muscle discomfort.

For those seeking debloating and depuffing benefits through lymphatic drainage, handheld massage tools like our SHAPE SHIFTER are excellent choices.

STARTING WITH CLEAN SKIN IS ESSENTIAL 

Before using your massager, ensure your skin is clean.

Start with a warm shower or bath to open your pores and help your muscles relax. Our CLEAN SLATE Lactic Acid Body Wash will gently exfoliate and unclog pores without stripping your natural skin barrier leaving your skin feeling luxuriously soft. 

 

PICK AN AREA OF YOUR BODY TO START FROM AND PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR THE MASSAGE

 

Apply a light layer of body oil (we suggest our Hydrating Body Gloss) to hydrate and enhance glide.

Begin the lymphatic drainage massage with our SHAPE SHIFTER starting from your belly.

Position the handheld massage tool at your waistline beside your navel.

Glide the tool downward towards your thigh; repeat 3-5 times on each side.

Next, place the tool above your navel at the center of your stomach.

Sweep the tool upwards and outwards towards your armpit; repeat 3-5 times on each side.

Focus on your waistline by positioning the tool at the outer waist and sweeping downwards towards the bikini area.

Repeat the motion 3-5 times on both sides for optimal results.

TAKE IT SLOW AND VARY YOUR STROKES TO FULLY IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE MSSAGE 

Take your time with your massage; it should be a soothing experience. Move at your own pace and tune into your body's sensations. Allow the oil to absorb, enhancing the sensory experience.

Afterward, hydrate by drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins and avoid dehydration.

Enjoy the radiant glow of hydrated skin and a tranquil, relaxed body and mind!
