It's our 5th wedding anniversary today. My lovely dh has got me lots of pressies, and one of them is the Deep Touch Ultimate Deep Wave Massager.

Before you all start sniggering, it's not one of those! It's a contaption for tired and aching muscles, which he has obviously chosen in the hope of it being helpful for my ankle injury. I broke it very badly 18 months ago and sometimes in the evenings it gets very stiff and painful.

I am not really a gadget person and wondered if anyone else has used one of these and if it is any good?

Seems to have a good write up...from Just Natural..

The Deep Touch Wave Massager

This is the ultimate Deep Touch Wave Massager designed to relieve tension and stress. The Deep Touch Massager's unique floating head allows you to place as much pressure onto the body as desired, WITHOUT restricting the speed or frequency of the vibration it emits.

Massage
The Deep Touch Massager?s massaging mechanism gives you a more concentrated massage resulting in greater soft tissue manipulation. It works by generating up to 3000 wave cycles a minute, which are proven to be able to penetrate down into the deep and soft muscle tissue, which is normally only reached after hours of intensive hands-on massage. The massage balls on the Deep Touch Massager move the muscle more frequently and consistently with less friction than hand massage, enhancing the continuity of massage.

The direct mechanical effect of rhythmically applying pressure and stretching dramatically increases the rate of blood flow. It is the pressure and wave motion of the Deep Touch Massager that stimulates the nerve receptors and causes the blood vessels to dilate, allowing greater fluid exchange (i.e., blood, oxygen and lymph and the removal of waste products such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide). The Deep Touch Massager stimulates arterial circulation and aids return blood flow to the heart.

It can help to:

Break up adhesions
Alleviate fatigue, soreness and muscle spasms
Reduce inflammation and swelling
Increase blood flow
Increase flexibility
Relax the body and mind
Sooth and invigorate

Acupressure
The Deep Touch Massager?s three (3) interchangeable heads are effective at pressing key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. By applying the Deep Touch Massager to specific locations, you can simulate an acupressure response. This pressure can help to stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the neurochemicals that relieve pain. As a result, pain is blocked and the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the affected area is increased. In addition, application of the Deep Touch Massager causes the muscles to relax and promotes healing.

Used as an analgesic (relief of pain)
Increases circulation
Alleviates fatigue, soreness and muscle spasms
Reduces inflammation and swelling
Facilitates healing processes
Increases recovery rate
Improves performance

Deep Touch Massager Potential Benefits
The Deep Touch Massager is ideal to use prior to or immediately after any other body treatment programs. It is safe, efficient and cost effective. It provides an effective soft tissue manipulation. It is ergonomically designed to fit into the hand and has an additional gripping handle for the other hand should one require more pressure. Deep Touch Massager's potential benefits include:

Effective therapeutic action
Expands treatment options
Easy to use
Portable and Convenient
Increases soft tissue manipulation
Ergonomically designed
Provides continuity of touch and pressure
Decreases treatment time
Relaxes and invigorates the mind and body
Revitalizes and stimulates the muscles
Comfortable and soothing
Increases rate of recovery
Decreases rehabilitation time
Quality Massager
The Deep Touch Massager is a quality product. It is nearly impossible to ?break? this machine, as it is ?built to last?. The component parts are industrial grade, professional quality. DO NOT CONFUSE or COMPARE the Deep Touch Massager with the vast array of cheaply built massage devices!

wow, mothernature! Was that really an independent assessment of it? It sounds good enough to be their own advertising!

Sounds like it might be worth giving it a go then! Might help me with those painful cramps I've been getting as well as the stiff ankle.

He gave me loads of other presents too...isn't he a sweetie?
