⭐Check out this review from one of our explorers who trialed the Therabody SmartGoggles through our lending library last year—and loved them so much they purchased their own!

"I’ve been using the Therabody SmartGoggles for a while now, and they’ve become one of my favorite tools for winding down at the end of the day. The combination of gentle compression, vibration, and heat feels surprisingly soothing—almost like a mini eye massage. The “SmartRelax” mode is especially nice; the way the goggles sync the pulses with your heart rate creates a calming rhythm that helps me settle in.
..If you struggle with eye strain, tension headaches, or winding down in the evenings, the goggles are a genuinely relaxing addition to your routine. They won’t replace a real massage, but they come impressively close for something you can use anytime, anywhere."
