Massage Gun for Back Pain
How do you use a massage gun for back pain?
So you’ve finally purchased a massage gun. You did the research, determined which model will best suit your needs (and your budget), and it’s arrived. You pull it out of the box and think that you’ll be enjoying pain relief soon. Then you realize that the area you most need to massage, you can’t reach: your back. After trying to contort yourself into all kinds of positions a circus performer would envy, you sigh and put the massage gun down. Do you try again? Try to get your partner to give you a massage? Just send it back and get a refund?
People have faced this problem since massage guns became popular. Eager to get the relief promised by percussive massage therapy, consumers buy massage guns without considering that the number one area that they’d like to massage is the one they can’t reach.
Massage Gun Back Extenders: the good, the bad, and the ugly
In an effort to bridge this gap, companies have come up with a number of “solutions” that theoretically enable users to reach their backs without the assistance of another person. These are mostly extenders, bars that cradle the massager and then cross over the shoulder. They require the user to hold the end of the extender opposite the cradle. While better than straining to reach the back with your hands, it still presents problems.
The biggest problem with massage gun back extenders is that they need to be held, oftentimes by both hands. The added weight of the extender to the massage gun, coupled with the need to hold the whole thing steady and apply pressure makes it difficult to manage. If you’re massaging your back for any amount of time, the stress of holding the gun and the extender can cause pain and tension, the very things the massage is supposed to relieve.
Beyond the strain the extenders cause, they are awkward to maneuver. Pinpointing your back pain with any accuracy is difficult with an extender, as is maintaining adequate pressure. Some extenders require you to hold your hands and arms in an uncomfortable position in order to work properly. Using your massage gun for back pain is not practical or, in some cases, possible.
Lending a Hand
Of course, you can always ask someone to massage your back for you. That’s well and good, but if you’ve ever asked someone to scratch an itch on your back that you couldn’t reach, you know there are problems with this approach as well. They don’t know where you need pain relief, and while you can direct them, it’s not as effective as doing it yourself. Another person also doesn’t know the amount of pressure you want or need.
