Four Solutions to How To Use Massage Gun On Back By Yourself

If you are like many people, you have some type of chronic back pain. You decided to get a massage gun to help relieve that pain at times when you are away from your therapist. However, you are not sure how to use a massage gun on your back by yourself. Having someone else do it for you is an option, but it kind of defeats the purpose. There are four potential solutions that we will look at below.

Just hold your massage gun and apply it to your back

• It may not be intuitive, but believe it or not, you may be able to just hold it in your hand and turn your hand in such a way that you would be able to use it directly on your back without help. However, not everyone can do this, and among those who can, not everyone is comfortable or likes the idea.

Household items can help

• A common solution is to place the massager between two household items that would hold it in place. Some people place it between two couch cushions such that the head of the massager would be free to apply the massage while they move their body. Another idea would be to slide the massage gun onto a window handle to hold it in place. You can get creative with what works best for you with what you have access to. In some cases, it can get difficult, but it is a free option considering you are using what you already own to get the job done.

Get a long handle for your percussion massager

• Another solution would be to get a long-curved handle to attach to the gun. That way, you can reach different spots on your back without needing to use any awkward arm positions. However, you will have to pay attention to a few things here. First, there are plenty of options in the market, and not all of them will work for your model. Second, this is not a free option. Depending on how much your massage gun was, it may not be a good option. In some cases, these handles cost as much as a low-cost massage gun. In essence, you would be doubling the price of that massage gun. Nevertheless, it is a solution.

Maybe use a mounting?

• Last but not least, there is an option to buy a mounting that would hold your massager. Similar to the option of using household items to hold it, the difference is that the mounting is designed specifically for this. Mountings have different designs with different costs, which can be too expensive in some cases. You will also need to figure out where the mounting would attach. That will also differ. In some cases, it could be the door, in other cases, it would be the wall. What works for you may not work for others. Similar to the handle option, you will need to consider if the mounting works for your specific model and that it is not a free option.
