The pulse

Rubbernecking Created by a professional massage therapist to bring massage and aromatherapy into the daily life of the “body-aware customer,” t spheres are a lazy man’s massage dream. Rub the golf ball–size rubber balls over your shoulders, smush them between your palms or slide them under your feet for an instant pick-me-up. The aromatherapy balls come two to a pack in seven functional scents like “perk up” (grapefruit and peppermint), “clarify” (lemongrass), “peace n quiet” (lavender and neroli) and “weekend warrior” (eucalyptus and wintergreen). Pack them in your carry-on for an in-flight massage, slip one behind your back for some roadside relaxation or keep them at your desk for DIY knot removal. We like to roll ours under our achy shoulders, where they feel like really strong, smooth thumbs. $45 at www.tspheres.com includes two balls, a travelling case and one reinfuser.—Valerie Nahmad
