Kneading
Kneading is a type of massage that uses a kneading motion to stimulate blood flow and relax muscles. This type of massage is especially good for people with back pain, neck pain, and headaches because it can help to relieve tension in those areas.
Additionally, this type of gun massage can be beneficial for people who have low back pain because it helps to improve blood flow in the lower regions of the body by releasing toxins from tissues.
Rolling
For those who love the rolling motion, this is a great way to get a muscle gun. You can use it on your back, legs and arms as well as on your neck, shoulders and feet. The only place you can’t use it is in your face or head area.
However, if you have sensitive skin it may be better to avoid this type of massager because of the way that it rolls over the body which could lead to rashes or even breakouts from friction burns.
Vibration
When you’re looking for a massage that can help you relax and unwind, vibration is the way to go. To explain what this means, let’s take a look at how most hand held massagers work.
All back massagers use either air or water to vibrate the surface of your skin. The difference between these two methods is how fast they move the surface: an air-powered massager will move your skin much faster than a water-powered one because it doesn’t have to travel as far through the liquid before it reaches its destination.
If you have pain in your back or legs, vibration may be an option worth considering. If so, there are several things you should know about choosing an ideal product for yourself or someone else:
Compression
Compression is a type of massage that uses pressure in a circular motion. It’s good for deep tissue massage, relieving muscle aches and pains from chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis, as well as back pain.
The idea behind compression is to apply pressure directly over the affected area of your body—your shoulders or lower back—and move around it in an effort to release tight muscles. This type of handheld back massager can sometimes be found near the neck or lower back on some models, but there are also full-body options that cover all four areas at once.
It’s no secret that we live in a world where we’re constantly on the go, and if you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time in an office chair. You know what? That’s okay! It’s pretty incredible what we can get done in an office chair these days.
But here’s the thing: sitting for long periods of time can wreak havoc on your back, shoulders and hips—and it can even cause nerve damage. Yikes! If you suffer from chronic pain or discomfort while sitting at your desk, it might be time to upgrade to a more ergonomic seat, or invest in a quality massage chair.
