How to choose a massage device

The Casada Healthcare range of massage devices is bursting at the seams. There are massage pillows – in fact, several models, various massage mats, and finally – massage chairs, which provide an almost full-body massage from head to toe.

Everything massages, most vibrate, every model looks elegant, and the chairs are simply exclusive. So what should you choose? How do you select equipment that meets your needs? Most devices in the Casada Healthcare range are multifunctional devices that we can use to massage almost the entire body (mats, pillows, handheld massagers). However, we have several devices designed exclusively for massaging specific body parts. These include the FootInn foot massager, the Canoo V leg and foot massager, and the Neck Massager II, the shape of which we have perfectly adapted to the arch of the neck.

For whom?

First of all, it is worth identifying the entire group of potential device users. This is very important, as it will allow us to define all the functionalities that the ideal equipment should have.

We can safely assume that the entire adult part of the family will use the device; however, for some, it will be a form of therapy (or support for medical therapy) – a way to combat ailments, while for others – primarily the pleasure derived from the massage itself and health prevention.

For what purpose?

Once we have gathered the group of users, we can list all the ailments that trouble them, and specifically – the areas of the body where they appear.

We divide the spine into three sections: cervical (+ shoulders), thoracic, and lumbar. Legs - into feet and calves. We take into account muscle aches, stiffness, and tension in various areas of the body. We also consider body segments that, for medical reasons, cannot be massaged (e.g., a cemented fracture of one of the spinal sections).

Multifunctionality or targeting?

Once we have gone through the two points above, we know what category of massage device we need.

If it turns out that most potential users of the massager have the same problem, e.g., they struggle with neck stiffness, migraines, or shoulder pain – we can confidently opt for a device designed to massage a specific body area. In this case, the Neck Massager II would be ideal.

If it turns out that the potential users have completely different needs – e.g., the wife has pain in the thoracic section, and the husband feels all the "heavy lifting" from work in his lower back – we choose a device that will allow for a massage of all sections of the spine, e.g., the Quattromed V BT massage mat or the Miniwell massage pillow. And if we are primarily troubled by muscle pain and cramps in the area of the shoulders, thighs, calves, or buttocks – a manual massager such as the Tappymed III, Scoop, or Eve will be an excellent choice.

For people who, for various reasons, cannot massage one of the sections of the spine, the best solution will be a large massage pillowa – such as the Maxiwell III or Maxiwell III Limited Edition.

You can also always ask your doctor or physiotherapist for advice – they will help you choose the right device and advise you on how to use it.

The devil is in the details…

Before making a final decision, it is worth carefully reading the descriptions of individual product models, verifying how they differ from each other, and what exact functionalities they have.

For example, massage mats – the seat of the Quattromed IV massage mat can be detached and used for foot vibration massage, while the Quattromed III Limited Edition mat, in addition to jade heating (massage heads), has carbon infrared heating along the side edges of the backrest, which makes it warm the back more effectively. A lower number for the same model does not mean a worse device – it means it is a different version of it.

Before making a purchase, it is worth taking advantage of expert advice from our specialists, who can be asked about all the details. You can do this in person at our showroom, by phone, by email, or via our Facebook.
