Massage belts

How do massage belts work?

Whichever model of massage belt you choose, they are all equipped with motorized rollers or massage heads that perform kneading, vibration or pressure movements on the muscles. Equipped with different intensity and speed levels, some massage belts can considerably relax and loosen your muscles, thanks to their wide range of heating options. Easy to use, lightweight and portable, massage belts can be used at home, at work or on the move. Whenever you're involved in sporting activities or experience muscular pain, a massage belt is the perfect way to relieve your muscles.

What are the benefits of massage belts?

If you're an avid body-builder or fitness enthusiast, it's probably not uncommon for you to experience muscle pain, tension and soreness the day after your workout, especially if it's been intense. Using a massage belt, connected or not, after your sports session, will help relieve your aches and pains and limit soreness in the days that follow. By reducing muscular tension, the massage belt also helps to limit stress and give you a real sense of well-being. Thanks to its rollers or massage heads, a massage belt will also stimulate blood circulation with each movement. With their heating function, massage belts are also known to help improve muscle flexibility. Suitable for all body shapes, massage belts can help the whole family enjoy a moment of relaxation, children and adults alike.

How to use massage belts

For optimum effectiveness, we recommend using a massage belt for 5 minutes on each muscle group. If you want to enjoy a deeper massage, you can use the straps or your body weight to adjust the settings of your massage belt. With their different directions of rotation, massage belts are designed to adapt to all muscle areas. For example, to massage your legs, your belt will move upwards, promoting blood circulation, while to stimulate back muscles, it will move back and forth. What's more, you can activate the heating option at any time to relax muscles in the back or any other area of the body.

At DECATHLON, our connected massage belts work with the Compex app, giving you greater control over the different modes offered by your device. If you have underlying health problems that explain your pain, or if you're pregnant, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a massage belt. For people with damaged skin, or a recent injury, we advise against using a massage belt on that part of the body. When using your massager, be sure to respect the allotted time to avoid over-stimulation of the muscles, which could be counter-productive.
