Ever get tired after a tough football game or stressful day at work? Well help is at a hand! High-pressure capsules have been introduced to relieve tiredness, and Nihon Kokusai Kenko Kiatsu Kyokai, are an association who retail and import these body saviours. The capsules have proven to be extremely popular with baseball and football players in Japan, and are sometimes referred to as “Beckham capsules”. They are filled with air, and pressure increases to assist your body in absorbing oxygen more proficiently for 45-50 minutes. There are 800 units in Japan just now and have been showing positive results with acupuncture clinics and beauty salons. You may already own a home tanning bed or exercise bike, but the appeal to buy one of these may be less as they can cost up to 4 million yen.
