What mom wouldn’t enjoy a nice massage for Mother’s Day (or any other time for that matter)? It’s not always possible (or preferrable) to head to a massage parlor for a little relaxation, so often a mom may need to look for an alternative. Wahl has designed a variety of massagers to meet the various needs of mothers. I was given the opportunity to test out the Wahl Deluxe Heat Therapy Massager which arrived right after we got back from a camping trip. The timing was perfect because I was feeling a bit achy – especially my feet which were not use to so much walking.
One of the first things that I noticed as I unpacked the massager was the nice storage case. Because the massager comes with 9 different attachments, the zippered storage case is definitely needed to keep all those pieces organized in one location. The 9 different attachments include:
- A Triad: three-point massage covers a large area
- Heat: penetrating heat soothes stiff, aching muscles
- Facial: a smooth surface for a gentle massage to the face
- Muscle Kneading: stimulates blood circulation
- Scalp: acupressure points stimulate blood flow and massage the scalp
- Knuckle & Joints: triangular shape to get into knuckles and joints
- Deep Muscle: digs deep to reach those tight knots and helps relieve pain
- Spot Application: pin-point massage
- General Body: all-over soothing
After being out camping, hiking, and walking, the deep muscle attachment and well as the triad felt wonderful. After carrying in all of our gear, my hands were aching a bit, so I thought I’d try out the knuckle & joints attachment. Wow! I was surprised at how nice that felt. Daddy was laughing at Munchkin and I as we tested out the various attachments on our achy bodies. It was very relaxing.
The heat attachment is nice, but the one drawback for it is that you have to allow the massager to run for a few minutes before it heats up. Once it’s heated up, it is quite soothing on tired muscles.
The variable speed dial is easy to use with one hand. I love, love, love the lightweight design of the Deluxe Heat Therapy Messager. I have a larger massager which is quite powerful and great for deep massages, but it can be cumbersome to use when I am already fatigued and sore. This massager fits easily in my small hands and does not cause extra fatigue during use. The massager doesn’t skimp on power even though it’s small. Because I’ve been suffering from more headaches recently, this new, smaller massager has become my new best friend.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, Wahl has decided to host a Facebook Giveaway called the Mom Relief Initiative. The details are as follows:
- Beginning April 26 and running through May 13, those who like Wahl Home on Facebook can nominate a mom to win a mom relief package from Wahl, whether it’s your mom, grandmother, wife, daughter, a friend or yourself.
- To enter the Mom Relief Initiative, simply post a comment explaining why the mom on your list deserves relief—maybe they’re a single mom who does it all, a working mom who never takes a break, a grandmother who’s always been there…every mom has a story and every story matters.
- Entries will be judged on their uniqueness and sincerity and the winners will be selected once the contest wraps up on May 13. Stories MUST be submitted before then in order to be considered.
I received a Wahl massager as a member of MamaBuzzMedia to help facilitate the writing of a frank and honest review. All opinions are my own.
