Price and where to buy the original, how to distinguish from a fake

2. Material and management. The massager for legs and feet is made of high quality plastic and has 2 main (mode) buttons (and not 3, as in some fakes) and 2 vertical blocks for controlling the rollers for manual control. A fabric overlay covering the rollers from the view of the wearer should be stretchable and easy to wash if necessary.
3. Service life is up to 10 years, wear resistance of the original device.
4. Permanent name (“Bliss”). If the box says something different from the one declared by Bradex (often English – Foot Massager, Massage Magic), such a massager is not a development of the company and may turn out to be a Chinese fake.
5. The lack of a remote control. The kit includes a massager, a guide to the active (they are indicated as acupuncture) foot endings and instructions for use.
6. All training materials are written in a language that corresponds to the country of the consumer (in USA, the text is in American).

8. The trademark distributing the goods must be on the list of partners of the company. She must have a certificate for the device (the seller must present at the request of the buyer) and a guarantee.

The price of a real Bliss massager ranges from $ 68 – $ 109, but the product has a low% defect versus 20-30% for copies or analogues.

Analogs either simply do not turn on once, or cease to function in the event of a dropped plate, a broken button, or torn fabric. Sellers in such cases do not always accept claims and may not agree to repair the damage.

Doctors’ opinions on similar devices

Experts in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, trauma therapists and positive attitude to the massager, but claim that the device of this type should be used for prevention , not a full-fledged fight disease. The course of treatment should be prescribed by a doctor, and a massager can worsen the patient’s condition.

They also mention that the basis of Chinese methods is the interaction of a specialist who changes the massage technique every minute (against 2 modes of the device) and the patient, and not the operation of the machine. For example, Thai massage involves rubbing in firming and moisturizing substances, and when using the device this is not possible due to safety precautions.

The physiotherapeutic effect cannot be considered the same for everyone, people have diseases that they don’t suspect, individual indications and body features, so doctors advise to be careful with massagers and use them without the thought that they can defeat any disease.

Some doctors believe that even a simple kneading of the foot with your own hands is better than using the device. Nevertheless, experts acknowledge that using the Bliss home massager is more profitable than sessions in beauty salons for a fee of $ 8 – $ 11. for the procedure.

In addition, such a service can lead to negative consequences for health: leg diseases, remaining pain after improperly selected feet regimen. Indeed, no one will be able to insure a person using the salon service against a fake and a lack of a positive result.
