Massage & Relaxation Category Overview
The Massage & Relaxation category, identified by ID 5663, is a specific segment within the Personal Care taxonomy. It is designed to classify tools, oils, and equipment intended for physical therapy, stress relief, and muscular recovery.
Products That Belong in This Category
This category includes items focused on body relief and wellness. Based on examples from the US market, this includes:
- Electrically powered devices such as leg massagers, heated knee wraps, and percussion massage guns.
- Manual tools including massage rollers, Gua Sha tools, and specialized therapy knobs.
- Supportive recovery items like acupressure balls, foam rollers, and therapeutic cradles.
- Massage oils and supplies used specifically for bodywork sessions.
Exclusions and Better Categorization
Do not place products here if they fit into one of the neighbouring categories. For example, avoid putting oral care items or foot care products in this category; those belong to Oral Care or Foot Care respectively. Similarly, personal lubricants should be placed in the dedicated Personal Lubricants category. If your product is specifically for facial care that is cosmetic in nature, it belongs in Cosmetics rather than massage therapy. Do not confuse generic back-pain relief items with categories like Back Care if those items are purely orthotic.
Choosing a Subcategory
Always select the most specific subcategory available, such as Massage Chairs or Massage Stones, if your product fits one of those descriptions perfectly instead of the generic parent category.
