The new wi-fi-enabled Lyric therapeutic massager has been designed to offer form, function and accessibility – and aims to provide an intuitive experience.
The device features a touchscreen that guides users through an option of massage therapies. According to the company, unlike other connected massagers and their respective apps, the Lyric eliminates the need to juggle a device and phone simultaneously, allowing users to focus on the massage session in question.
As a self-care companion, the Lyric provides on-board guidance for temporary relief of muscle aches and pains, as well as therapies designed to relax and energize. The Lyric’s wi-fi technology ensures that users always have the latest software upgrades, therapies and wellness content.
“Never before has a massage device offered the technology, aesthetic and experience to answer so many unmet consumer needs, not just those of serious athletes,” said Hugh Williams, Lyric co-founder.
“Each detail of the Lyric has been thoughtfully designed based on extensive research and feedback to create an unmatched wellness experience. Now, people won’t have to choose between what they want and what their bodies and minds need – with the Lyric, they can have it all in one device.”
Rhythm
The Lyric introduces what is being billed as a breakthrough in massage technology – Rhythm Therapy.
The company notes that… ‘Rather than a mono-frequency or ‘flat line’ experience, which is what most massage devices deliver, the Lyric vibrates in a wavelike pattern mimicking naturally occurring rhythms that can have a profound impact on the body and mind.’
Lyric adds that its Rhythm Therapy creates ‘an exquisite experience – it’s like Mozart for your muscles.’
Rhythmic frequencies have reportedly been shown to affect the endocrine, musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and can temporarily alleviate minor muscle pain, shift stress and positively affect both emotions and overall mental state.
“Therapies that incorporate rhythmic frequencies have the ability to guide the body to its parasympathetic mode, allowing it to slow down and rest, but they can also activate the body’s sympathetic mode, leading to feeling alert, awake and energized,” said Dr Jena Gatses, DPT, LMT, SFMA, CSCS.
“The therapy options provided by the Lyric offer a range of benefits, including pain relief, calm and energy, for an intuitive and customized experience.”
Wellness harmonized
The Lyric claims to establish a new category in wellness, thanks to its therapeutic range of frequencies coupled with lower amplitude (the distance travelled by the massage head).
‘This combination requires less pressure from the device to achieve the same result, allowing for a more comfortable, enjoyable and non-aggressive massage experience that feels good and promotes positive wellbeing.’
The Lyric offers a slim handle with ergonomic grip and includes an optional extension handle for easier manoeuvring and accessing harder-to-reach spots.
Also included with each massager are four attachments neatly stored in the docking station: Cone, Dome, Thumb and Double. Each attachment aims to deliver a personalized experience… ‘that provides exactly what the body needs, regardless of the ache or pain.’
The Lyric also has induction charging built into the docking station (as well as a USB-C) for grab-n-go charging.
Offered in Blueprint (light blue), Terracotta (soft orange), Stone (off white), Slate (dark grey with blue undertone) and Granite (black), the Lyric has an MSRP of US$199.95.
