Our posture for all these hours is not good enough to have a healthy body. However our technology is still trying to reach a level where we can maintain a good body posture.

And don’t we all know that Japan has always been up for all the scientific or technical challenges? For the same reason Ken Kawamoto a software engineer at Google came up with this idea.

He designed a t-shirt no not a usual one! This ordinary looking t-shirt has a secret purpose to it. The purpose is to help his child give his dad a massage during the busy daily schedule.

When asked how he came up with the idea he said “I often do work on my laptop while lying down on the floor. One time in an act of boredom my child started playing with his toy train on my back which surprisingly felt very refreshing since my back was really strained. I then came up with this idea to get him to run the train along the particularly massage-needy parts of my back.”

He created a t-shirt with a railroad on it. He kept this design keeping in mind that his son is into trains. That sounds like a great idea to get your kid interested in the world’s most boring task.

The design has special areas namely “Right Shoulder” “Left Shoulder” “Spine” and “Lower Back”.

Ken said “He [the son] seems to enjoy using me as rails (and the added sense of accomplishment from giving me a back massage). He’s always enjoyed using me as a toy.”

The post on Twitter has been retweeted over 30000 times and there is no doubt that people have loved the idea.

People are now figuring out how to trick people into driving toy trains on their backs. One person commented “Now only if I could figure out how to trick my boyfriend into the same thing.”

Others had different ideas about how they could get massaged in a similar manner.

One mother commented “My sons roll cars on my back no matter what. Feels WONDERFUL all I have to do is lie on the floor when they are playing and here they come.”
