Massage Guns

[Templogin]

I have had lower back pain on and off for about 35 years, caused by a poor lifting technique and weights that I should have considered beyond safe. Back then though, a company's health and safety responsibility seemed to add up to displaying the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act poster.

My pain is definitely muscular, and a course of treatment at the chiropracter usually sort me out, but this is now about £300, and I need a cheaper method, so I have started to look at Massage Guns on Amazon. HERE

Has anyone on here experience of these? Is it worth buying one? Trips to the chiro are like torture, and whilst he is pummeling me I tend to call him some choice names. I can't believe that these massage guns are any worse, but are they any good?

I've got one. Find it quite effective.

Stay in the £20-30 pound range, some of these things are £80-£100 or more and a massive rip off. If you can find someone to work you over with it or can manage to reach yourself they are very good.

I’ve thought about adding a ball to a jigsaw blade to try that.

Thanks chaps for these and the PMs. I am going to try the technological fix first and buy one of the cheaper massage guns. I will let you know how I get on with it.

How this thread ever stayed on track I have no idea.

I was restrained.

My mrs has one, the disadvantage is you need someone else to operate it. It recharges via a usb but is quite heavy so a bugger to reach some points of the further flung parts of your back if you're using it yourself

Oi, oi, here we go

I have gone with THIS

I got the £20 off and it only weighs about a pound. I did take the weight into consideration. Hopefully I might see some improvement.

Some of those attachments look a little, er, (cough) multipurpose!

It's not over yet......

Coming though, hopefully

The bullet looks a bit suspicious

I’m curious as to why they suggest using it on a sleeping baby….

Perhaps it's a euphemism...

 

[Templogin]

Or just weird!

 

[CaptainBeaky]

Now this is the thread drift I was expecting...

 

[Templogin]

It would appear that just having one of these in the house stops back pain!

Allegedly I have a couple of weeks truck driving coming up so that should hammer the back again.

 

[Stew]

Just having it in the house or actually using it?

The former!!

He's forgotten about the back pain since wanking every night with the massager.

Fleshlight attachment?

(Don’t pretend you don’t know what one is!)

 

[Templogin]

Dunno about that, but the bullet really rubs in the pile ointment well

 

[Stew]

So did the back pain stay away?

Have you had the need to use the gun?
