What Master Massage does

Master Massage is a Sacramento, California-based manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer of professional-grade massage equipment operating under MHP International, Inc. (legal entity Master Home Products Ltd. Inc.), founded in 2015 by Michael Friedman. The company sells portable, stationary, and electric massage tables, portable massage chairs, stools, and a broad accessories catalog (364+ SKUs) covering hot stone sets, linens, oils, face cradles, bolsters, carrying cases, towel warmers, Pilates reformers, and massage guns. Product differentiation rests on patented and proprietary features including the Therma-Top® built-in adjustable heating system, the Airwave™ 3D lumbar traction airbag stretching system, ambient LED lighting, NanoSkin antimicrobial upholstery, memory foam cushioning, and integrated Reiki panels and Shiatsu cables. Tables range from $199.99 entry-level portable units to $3,999.99 premium electric salon/medi-spa tables, with accessories spanning $10 knobs to $339.99 professional heaters.

The business model is a hybrid direct-to-consumer e-commerce and inside-sales operation targeting professional massage therapists, spa and salon owners, healthcare/rehabilitation providers, beauty professionals, home users, and educational institutions (with dedicated school pricing). Distribution is exclusively through proprietary storefronts — mastermassage.com in the US, mhpinternational.co.uk in the UK, and mastermassage.de in Germany — with no disclosed third-party retail, wholesale, or marketplace presence. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales, complemented by recurring replacement parts and consumables. Marketing leverages organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest), YouTube video content, email newsletters, a company blog, and SEO-optimized product/category pages.

The company sits within a broader MHP International brand family that includes Master UK, Master Germany, Hisooth Vibro-Acoustic, and Mt Chiropractic. The company is privately held, does not disclose revenue, has no public funding history, no disclosed M&A activity, and operates with an undisclosed headcount. Strategic emphasis has been on proprietary product technology, multi-market DTC localization, and accessory/upsell ecosystem expansion rather than on software, AI, or platform business models.
