Esalen Massage

Customer Review: I love the DVD
The video is great and I have incorporated the towel draping in my practice. Yes i am a CMT with over 1,000 hours of training and have my practice in Colorado. Most of my clients really love just having a towel including the women and i do get a few who are uncomfortable and we go with a sheet. The reason for a towel is to make the broad long strokes and not have anything in the way. If you people who are CMT’s or LMT’s find that sexual then you need to change professions. as for being close to the private area, have you ever done adductor work? You get closer to the private area with adductor work or even lower abs work than you do with Esalen Massage.
Customer Review: Not for couples
It’s tough to rate this one because I was specifically looking for intimate massage. The setting is breathtaking, but the presentation is more professional how-to or “travel destination”. Nothing intimate or arousing for two people in the privacy of their own home, but they may consider actually going to Esalen for a getaway. Click here for more info on this massage product

HoMedics AK-3 Foot Pro Ultra Foot Massager

Sit down. Take off your shoes. Use a big toe to turn on this electric foot massager. (There’s a toe-friendly on/off switch at the bottom.) Use that toe to select the intensity of the foot massage you desire (high or low). Cold feet? Direct the toe to the infrared switch for muscle-relaxing, penetrating heat. Now lean back and run your tired, aching feet over the massager’s vibrating surface while different-size bumps rejuvenate you according to the ancient practice of reflexology (or, if you don’t accept reflexology’s tenets, soothingly stimulate your feet). This durable plastic device measures 14 by 12 inches and is angled so your feet rest comfortably while you’re seated. The massager carries a two-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
Customer Review: Great value, long life
I purchased this foot massager four years ago, when it was a slightly different looking machine. I placed it under my desk in my home office, and I’ve used it at least once weekly since then. I’m amazed it’s still working, but it truly is! I’ve spilled a couple mochas on it, several cats have slept on it (one inadvertently turned it on mid-nap and got a big surprise), and I certainly haven’t handled it with any sort of care. Yet, it continues to function beautifully, keeping my sore, arthritic, bunion-infested, little feet quite happy.
Customer Review: Don’t expect something great!!
I find the HoMedics Ak-3 Foot Massager is worth the sale price. Not a big bang for the buck. I agree with other reviewers that the motor is undersized. If you put much weight on it it slows way down. If you want something to really massage your feet go with a product that had rollers or kneaders. Which by the way cost alot more money. Click here for more info on this massage product

So whether you’re watching the ball game, reading a book, sitting at the PC, knitting a sweater, or just lounging around, these slippers add an extraordinary treat to whatever you do.
Customer Review: no good
I bought this item, but amazon sent me a wrong item. the one they sent me looked exactly the same, but it was without the heating pads as shown in the picture. even the replacement was the same.so i think amazon doesnt carry this version of the slipper at all. and they are ok, not a very good quality. mine had a button to press to have a vibrating action, which was by the way does not have much massaging effect. so overall, a poorly made proiduct in my opinion. the sole is also hard and not flexible enough for walking around when you are not using the massage.

WaterPik MST-751 Misting Shower Massage 7-Setting Hand-Held White Showerhead

Customer Review: Misting shower head
WaterPik does deliver all the functionality the product claims, and that is the widest assortment of sprays ever packed into one shower head. That is why the shower head is quite large and requires some extra effort to select a spray mode from the many available, particularily in the pre-8AM hours. The misting option does produce a very fine steam-like mist, but after turning the knob about a dozen times to fully engage that mode, you must also increase the hot water to regain a warm shower. It is more involved than the standard model, which has spoiled us for years. The only complaint is that the spray select knob is small and somewhat difficult to turn with soap on it, or with a week grip.
Customer Review: Older model better
The older model has a showerhead which allows a 360 degree rotation to adjust height/ angle. This model does not, and is poor for shorter individuals. The powersaver filter reducesless mist and strength of the massage. The hand-held cord is bulky and gets in the way… Click here for more info on this massage product
