With GoRelax, we focused on convenience and versatility to create a one-of-a-kind mat that’s customizable, portable and comfortable to use on any body part at any time.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
September 08, 2019

Crowdfunders suffering from stress, back and neck pain are rolling-out their support with more than $200,000 contributed on Kickstarter (over 13-times its campaign goal) for DEZZIO’s GoRelax – an innovative lightweight mat that fosters deep relaxation by naturally increasing blood circulation and reducing tension.

“We created GoRelax after realizing that acupressure mats are commonly used by health advocates to help alleviate pain and reduce stress naturally, but most people have not even heard of them,” said GoRelax Co-founder Aditi Agarwal. “With GoRelax, we focused on convenience and versatility to create a one-of-a-kind mat that’s customizable, portable and comfortable to use on any body part at any time.”

GoRelax features include:

• 192 lotus-shaped contact points providing deep pinpoint stimulation that tingles at first before eventually fading away into a feeling of utter bliss
• An ergonomic design, including a totally unique curved neck pillow, that contours to the body and maximizes contact triggering 4,800 pressure points within the body
• A modular design that allows GoRelax to be split into three separate sections to adapt to users’ needs
• Folding easily, to a third of its total size, for convenient storage and portability.

GoRelax uses the body’s natural energy system and harnesses the power of deep touch stimulation to help increase blood circulation (see gif), reduce muscle tension and promote the body’s natural healing process.

Agarwal notes that there are multiple studies and clinical trials that prove that daily use of acupressure mats for 15-to-20 minutes will help most people achieve pain relief and a reduction in stress.

GoRelax is made for everyone for use anywhere:

• For anyone at home, it can used in the living room, bedroom or anywhere to increase blood circulation
• For Yoga enthusiasts, it can be used to start and end a routine with a 15-minute relaxation to deepen the meditation effect
• For the athlete, it can be used post-exercise to relax sore muscles and reduce stiffness
• In the office, it can be easily affixed to a chair using the back strap to get relief from back and neck pain

GoRelax is crafted with eco-friendly material that is good for the user and the environment, with an outer fabric made of 100 percent cotton fabric filled with natural coconut fiber.

And, finally, on the back are foot and hand reflexology charts that show how the activation of pressure points can benefit the entire body. It is available in several colors including green, purple, blue, grey/purple and grey/green.

“With GoRelax, we are working to put acupressure in a form that is accessible to everyone…and to make ‘a massage everyday’ become your reality,” Agarwal said.

While on Kickstarter, GoRelax is available at significant ‘Super Early Bird’ crowdfunding discounts of $79 for a single mat, $139 for a two-pack and $229 for a set of three.

Circadian neuroscience is at the heart of jet lag management and, even though airlines and hospitality brands are doing a great job helping consumers prioritize sleep and wellness, most are still unaware of jet lag science, and, as a result, their advice.

MIAMI (PRWEB)
September 09, 2019

The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the $4.2 trillion global wellness economy, today announced that all delegates attending its 2019 conference in Singapore this October will receive a one-year subscription to the Timeshifter® jet lag app. The app, which is already deployed by wellness pioneer Six Senses to guests visiting their resorts, was developed with world-renowned scientists and is based on the latest research in sleep and circadian neuroscience.

“I’m very familiar with wellness hacks for sleep and jet lag, but, even though a massage or exercising always feels great after a long flight, it’s never been a silver bullet for my jet lag. Now, I know why,” said Susie Ellis, GWS chairman and CEO. “Timeshifter tackles the underlying cause of jet lag by literally helping you shift your biological clock to a destination’s time zone quickly—and, counterintuitively, this may even mean NOT sleeping on a long-haul flight.”

Ellis put Timeshifter through its paces on a recent multi-continent business trip that saw her traveling from Miami to Italy, then on to Hong Kong and Tokyo, then back to Europe for a meeting in Amsterdam, and finally returning home to Miami over the space of just 14 days. “I can unequivocally report that Timeshifter’s algorithm, which relies on resetting your circadian clock through timed light exposure and, optionally, the right dose, type and timing of a melatonin supplement, worked miraculously.”

“Circadian neuroscience is at the heart of jet lag management and, even though airlines and hospitality brands are doing a great job helping consumers prioritize sleep and wellness, most are still unaware of jet lag science, and, as a result, their advice, products and services are based on the wrong assumptions,” said Mickey Beyer-Clausen, co-founder and CEO at Timeshifter. “I’m thankful to Six Senses, one of our launch partners, for bringing our app to the industry leaders attending the Summit.”

Timeshifter was developed with Dr. Steven Lockley, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lockley is a world-renowned expert in circadian rhythms, sleep and jet lag and has helped NASA astronauts, Formula 1 drivers and Olympic athletes perform at their best when traveling.

It’s recommended that GWS delegates set up their flights in Timeshifter 4-5 days prior to departure so a pre-adjustment period can begin and to ensure they arrive in Singapore ready to enjoy the Summit’s full agenda of keynotes, panels, networking events, etc.
