Our Story 

 

The Professional Massage Mitts are a pair of silicon massage mitts designed and patented GB2543361 by a qualified state registered chartered physiotherapist.

At the time of her idea conception of the Professional Massage Mitts the physio was working long hours providing treatments in a very busy physiotherapy clinic.

The Mitts were designed out of necessity, the physio was suffering from repetitive strain injuries to their wrists and hands. The Mitts have integrated support to protect the therapist’s hands and external nodules for increased tactile surface to enhance sensory massage stimulation. 

They can be used for self-massage or as an aid for symptom/pain relief from allied health professionals for more complex soft tissue mobilisation procedures. 

Over time and after hundreds of patients’ feedback along with numerous testimonials, it was obvious that this self-massaging tool empowered people, enabling them to do something for themselves and help reduce their musculoskeletal symptoms of general aches and pains for themselves.

 

Design Features of the Massage Mitts as a Therapeutic Massage Tool

  • Surface nodules of various dimensions.
  • The quality and consistency of the silicone nodules have encompassed features for optimum body conditioning and maximum contact.
  • The nodules increase sensory stimulation and sensory feedback. 
  • Made with medical/food grade silicone.

Sports Massage the physiotherapist or sports massage therapist is not always available to massage you after a major event. You can massage yourself either in the shower with your usual shower products, or self-massage with oil after the event and in-between your appointments. Deep tissue massage can sometimes be very painful; the Massage Mitts provide a more comfortable massage with what we believe to be better results.

Expertly designed by a British State Registered Chartered Physiotherapist:

“I wanted to make a product that give you more control over your own well-being, which helps to reduce tension in your body making you feel incredible.”

 

 

After using the massage mitts on your skin for even just a couple of minutes you will begin to feel changes to the quality of the tissue within that area. Almost immediately you will notice the tissue relaxing.

 

 The simple science behind how it works

  • The unique shape of the massage mitts and its nodules increases sensory input to keep the brain informed, and provide pressure to increase feedback to improve condition and function.  
  • They provide an increased textured surface area to improve sensory date for the brain to decode and re-program.  
  • The nodules on the mitts also stimulate the fascial and musculoskeletal systems of the body, which in turn will naturally reduce tension, repair, and hydrate and oxygenate the tissue.  
  • The nodules on the mitts provide a brief mechanical stretch affecting the skin, soft tissue, sub-dermal structures and deeper fascia.

You can use the mitts with a variation of gentle massage, pressure, duration and direction to initiate and increase the self-healing and self-regulating physiological responses.  

Massage with the massage mitts promotes healing and flexibility by stimulating the body’s own physiological responses to reducing stiffness and pain. Massage initiates the body’s own homeostatic processes by stimulating the soft tissue where you are massaging thus turning the stimuli into nature’s own biochemical and neurophysiological responses, improving well-being and restoring function.

Gentle Body Massage

The basic elements of massage include gentle stroking movements over the body but you can massage with the mitts using various techniques. You can also adjust the duration and direction. They are effective in the reduction of both acute and chronic symptoms. By increasing blood flow and tissue oxygenation to soft tissue structures which leads to decreased pain and increased flexibility.  Perform simple massage techniques to reduce the symptoms of myofascial tension, scar tissue and soft tissue adhesion's.  

Massage improves local tissue function and reduces adhesion's through increased energy exchange and tissue oxygenation.

Size Guide 

Instruction on how to put the mitts on How to use the massage mitts-

Apply massage oil to area you wish to massage. If your skin is dry you may need two coverings of oil. Rub the excess oil around your hand so the mitts glide onto your hands. An alternative is to use them in the shower or bath with you usual shower and bath products. Wet the skin then apply the soap or shower gel, gentle massage the chosen area on the body for 2-5 minutes then wash the soap off. 

 

Smaller hands - after pulling the mitts onto the hand via the tab located at the front of your wrist joint will need to push the mitts together via the web space between the thumb joint and the main parts of the mitts. 

 

Medium sized hands - will just need to pull on the wrist tab to aid positioning.

 

Larger hands - will need to rotate their hands at 90 degree angles at the twist opening then rotate their hands into the mitt while puling in the wrist tab. They are very sturdy don't be frightened of breaking them, they will stretch. 

 

The mitts are one size for all. 

 

Use stroking, effleurage and large circular movement buy gliding the flat hand over the skin. The more nodules that come into contact to the skin the better the results. (Try not to use just your fingers and thumbs while massaging).
