Lower Body Massage Seats

This Device Provides Soothing Relief from Hip and Lower Back Pain

— November 1, 2016 — Lifestyle
This massage device is aimed at providing an effective form of relief that is different from what other massage seats on the market are capable. Rather than simply offer a superficial massage, the device works by shifting the hip and lower back in a gentle way to improve range of motion and circulation.

A rise in sedentary lifestyles has increased the prevalence of health issues, including back pain, that come with office work and a variety of other professions. The utilization of massage seats has increased in recent years as consumers seek out effective ways to relieve stress, tension and pain on a consistent basis, which this device enables.

The massage device works by having the user sit on it and enjoy the figure-8 operation that it performs to relieve tension located in the lower back and hip.
Trend Themes
1. Lower-body Figure-8 Massage Devices - There's potential for the creation of lower-body massage seats that use figure-8 operation to provide better pain relief than current models.
2. Range of Motion and Circulation-enhancing Massage - Development of massage seats aimed at providing relief for hip and lower back pain by improving range of motion and circulation is a possible disruptive innovation.
3. Targeted Pain Relief Massage Devices - There's room for the creation of massage seats that don't provide superficial massages, but instead offer targeted pain relief to specific areas of the body like the hip and lower back.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - Healthcare industries could benefit from the creation and development of effective lower-body massage seats, such as for physical therapy or recovery purposes.
2. Office Furniture - Office furniture manufacturers could innovate by adding massage capabilities to chairs, specifically targeting areas prone to pain due to sedentary lifestyles, such as the lower back and hips.
3. Home Goods - There is potential for home goods industries to invest in creating lower-back and hip massage seats for regular consumers who are looking for at-home relief from pain and stress.
