If you don't mind looking like the Hunchback of Notredom, this [Airo](http://www.discovery-24.de/schneider/controller/details?guid=2c8047850445dc7d221a0f09fff1492c&page=2)messaging backpack will provide you a relaxing massage without having to beg someone for it.

Now that I think about it, having someone walking behind you rubbing your shoulders might not be a good look either.

If my little German translational skill doesn't fail me, **Airo** features four engines that massage the back and shoulder area, an integrated heat and vibration functions to relax your sore muscles. It includes three [massage stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-massages) that you can choose with the control buttons.

The vest is made from Neoprene, comes with a 230V AC adapter, and sells for â‚¬40.
