ShiatsuBag FAQ's

Energy and Environmentally Friendly

It is energy friendly and requires no batteries or electrical outlets because it doesn't use electricity. It is unbelievably lightweight at only 2 lbs making it a fantastic travel companion and is virtually noiseless. You can enjoy the ShiatsuBag as a massaging pillow in the car, bus, train, or airplane.

It is environmentally friendly  product because the MyoBalls are inert and non-toxic.  Although the balls have a lifetime guarantee and will never fail, the EVA can be recycled and used to make other products.  It can also be buried in landfills, or incinerated with no toxic emissions to the air, soil, or groundwater.

Use It Anywhere, Anytime

The soft durable ShiatsuBag bag adapts to any hard or soft surface including floors, tables, countertops, chairs, and car seats.  Be aware that the harder the surface, the deeper the MyoBalls will penetrate your body tissue.  The most common support surface is a carpeted floor.
