Aromatherapy massage
Aromatherapy massage involves a massage therapist using scented oil and/or lotion during a massage. This type of massage is best performed by a massage therapist so the massagers we sell at Chi Massager should not be used with lotions or oil.
Hot stone massage
Hot stone massage involves the placement of heated stones on key areas of the body and applying light pressure by pressing on the stones against the body. Our Infrared Back Massager emits infrared heat which can loosen tight muscles in the back. This massager can simulate a hot stone massage because you will feel infrared heat and receive a gentle pressure massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
A Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and tissue so it’s a fairly hard massage. Most people will feel sore for one or two days after receiving this type of massage. The following massagers are all ideal for a deep tissue massage:

Sports Massage
The purpose of a Sports Massage is to prevent and treat injury as opposed to relaxation. The massage strokes are typically quite fast and a lot of stretching is involved. The massagers we have cannot prevent and treat injury so our massagers do not fall under the category of sports massage. Our massagers are intended to provide relaxation and reduce stress.

The majority of our massagers have multi functions which means most of them can be used on more than one part of the body. For example, most of our hand held massagers are ideal for massaging the back but they can also be used to massage the arms and legs.
The above article is intended to be a general guideline for choosing a massager for a specific part of the body.
The most important thing to remember is to choose a massager that works for you.
