‘Feel Human Again. We make robots because life hurts.’
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Massage Robotics recently highlighted a number of problematic access issues with massage therapy that continue to keep patients from choosing massage when they need it. Issues like affordability, pain, time management, shortage of therapists, and body privacy. Founded by Christian Mackin and Sean Mackin, Massage Robotics is the creator of the first life-sized massage robot – fully articulated and able to learn and evolve its massage routines via Machine Learning, AI, and Natural Language Processing using Google’s Dialogflow. These robots will solve many problems facing the multibillion-dollar massage and massage therapy industry.
More than just a startup, Massage Robotics has already garnered backing from the Google Cloud Platform, gained a star-studded expert Board of Advisors, received nationwide media attention, and presented findings at multiple prestigious trade and tech shows. And the company is currently running a successful equity crowdfunding campaign via StartEngine.
“Probably the most glaring issue with massage are patients’ fears of body security,” said Christian Mackin, Co-Founder and CEO. “In a post pandemic world, touchless technologies are increasingly popular. Many people don’t like being touched by someone unfamiliar. And with allegations of sexual misconduct in the news from time to time, the massage industry sometimes struggles with its reputation. Robots solve this problem precisely because they are not human.”
“Ultimately, we’re offering a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) monthly subscription for B2B wellness clinics. And we anticipate that these will be priced to be approximately equal to the monthly income of one therapist. And other problems like affordability, shortage of therapists, and time management are solved by our overarching business plan, with the guidance of our advisory board.”

“Robots can work 24/7/365 – without vacation, sick days, holidays, benefits, or taxes,” said Sean Mackin, Co-Founder and Business Developer. “Businesses can enjoy healthy profit margins while also making massage more affordable. Our robots are also enabled with Natural Language Processing powered by Dialogflow – the same platform used by Google Assistant. Using a normal speaking voice, robots can be guided to the left and right and to push harder or softer during the massage. And because the robots remember every nudge and each client’s preferences, they deliver a perfect massage every time. The robots are already learning what humans like – they are already evolving.”
“We’ve implemented an ambitious growth plan to explore the potential here,” said Sean Mackin. “Widening our marketing channels to include trade shows and partnerships for example, all to reach our primary B2B target audience of massage clinics, hotel chains, along with professional and collegiate sports teams. We will continue to release news and updates as we hit important company milestones.”

Plenty of high-growth cloud stocks skyrocketed in value over the past two years, yet quickly surrendered all those gains this year as rising interest rates drove investors back toward more conservative investments. Twilio's (NYSE: TWLO) cloud-based communication platform handles text messages, voice calls, videos, and other integrated features in mobile apps. Instead of building those features from scratch — which can be buggy, time-consuming, and difficult to scale as an app gains more users — developers can outsource the work to Twilio with just a few lines of code.

During the summer, Polygon enjoyed a mini-boom when it tripled in value in a period of just two months.
