Captain Future for your back

My back hurts again. Typical treatment: heat bag, ointment or physiotherapy It's time for something new, some power.

"What is buzzing here?" asks my colleague Michael Restin a little irritated. I'm the one buzzing. And not only that, I also shimmer in red. "You look like Captain Future," grumbles Michael. Yes, he's right.

I wonder if he too has ever had back pain.

He only hums a little.

Don't touch!
Don't touch!

This is the 'Venom' massager by Hyperice. In the United States, Hyperice is used by athletes for the regeneration and prevention of injuries. The brand exploits the benefits of heating and vibrating technology.

Bzzz bzzz

The Venom massage belt provides relaxation for the muscles of the lower back through a combination of heat and vibration. The device eliminates muscle cramps and prevents overstraining. The touch screen allows the temperature, vibration type and duration to be adjusted for an optimal massage.
A nice side effect: if you want to make a work colleague hate you, wear this belt. The 20-minute buzz drives everyone within a few metres crazy. Magnificent!

It runs in front ...

First Impression

This massage belt also looks good. Expect astonished looks from your colleagues at work. And, as mentioned, also their snarky comments if you use the belt in the office. The heat produced is really pleasant. The vibrations are a little less so. I am not a fan of 'electroshock', even in its mildest form. All in all, my back is more relaxed and flexible after only a few applications.

Here you can find the entire Hyperice assortment on Galaxus. And here my author profile.
