As an avid (and aging) runner, it would be nice to have the time and money for more frequent massages. I have a ton of foam rollers, tennis and lacrosse balls and other massaging implements for when I can’t get to a professional. I was given the opportunity to try a new portable Moji Foot Massager to add to my bag of runner’s tricks.
Moji was founded in 2007 with the goal of keeping people active and pain-free. It is a local Chicagoland area company. They are committed to “creating best in class recovery and pain relief products.”
The Moji Foot Massager is small, lightweight and portable. It has a no-slip base so that you can have a “controlled massage.” Plus, this massager won’t roll away like your lacrosse ball! The benefits of using the massager are: relief of sore/tired feet, increases circulation, relaxes feet and breaks up scar tissue. It is great for plantar fascitis. The Moji Foot Massager features “high-tech engineered plastic spheres.” The spheres dig deep into muscle and tissues to relieve pain and break up scar tissue.
The massagers are very lightweight and compact but the massage is still pretty intense – in a good way! You can easily add more pressure or lighten it up. This is a great tool for destination racers or other travelers who have foot pain (or stand on their feet all day.) It is so much better than the massager tube I had when I had a bad case of plantar fascitis – not that I am wishing that on myself again. At $29.99, it is an affordable gift idea for the runner in your life. You can get one from him or her HERE.
Moji’s website has great information on the benefits of at home massage, tip sheets, videos and a blog. You can also keep up with them on Twitter and Facebook.
