BACK MASSAGERS

What kind of a back massager would be the best for diabetics? 

People often ask why can't diabetics use back massagers? The truth is that they can. Massage is generally safe for diabetes patients. In fact, many diabetes patients feel that massage helps them by lowering blood glucose levels. It can also help ease the pain that’s caused by peripheral neuropathy faced by some diabetic patients. However, there are some factors of massage that contribute to these benefits:

• Quality of massage
• Duration
• Level of pressure
• Number of sessions

We have vibrating back massagers and back massage mats as well as back massagers for chairs. You can select the right product based on your condition. A massage can lower your blood glucose levels so it’s best to keep a hard candy or juice box with you. Apart from this, massages are generally safe for diabetics.

Another question we are asked is: Can a pregnant woman use a vibrating back massager? Yes, these massagers are generally safe because the vibrations are too low to be harmful to them. Even the strongest setting is too low. However, we would still recommend using the massager at a low speed for pregnant women.
