On the Internet we can find a lot of massage devices that promise to relieve us of pain, relieve tension or give us sufficient regeneration. But how can we guarantee that this machine will help us? What do we need to look out for when choosing a back massager?
First of all, we need to be aware of our health problem and start with it. Is there anything more I can do for myself? Am I spending enough time on myself? Am I doing something for my health? You need to answer these questions before buying any massage machine, and if the answers are not beneficial to your health, then first address your health problem holistically. A massage machine will not eliminate your health problem, but it can eliminate it and support you for better results.
How to treat back pain?
Back pain is a much-discussed topic and we have certainly encountered this health problem several times in our lives. Specifically, with neck pain, other problems such as headaches or fatigue kick in. What causes it? For every culprit, let’s look for stress, which mainly affects our psyche, which then manifests itself in physical pain when it is disturbed . And not only that, just spend a long time in front of the computer, lying in the wrong position or staring at your mobile phone for a long time and neck pain is in the world. So how to prevent pain? Daily stretching or walking is the best prevention, but there is another solution and that is massage. We will now tell you how to do it.
The important thing is to relax your muscles properly and find a comfortable position to lie down in. Some people find it more comfortable to have a massage sitting up, lying on their side, others lying on their stomach or on their back. It is important to have your muscles blooded and warmed up before any massage. For this we can use, for example, lava stones, but a heated towel will also do. The area to be massaged must be heated to make the massage as effective as possible. You can choose your favourite cream or oil for the massage. For example, we recommend lavender oil to help calm the body and mind. Warm the chosen cream or oil in the palms of your hands and then rub the sore neck in gentle circular movements.
Then, with stronger finger movements, start the massage from the occipital bone towards the shoulders and then the spine. We must be particularly careful around the occipital bone, where there are acupressure points that could trigger a headache. For the shoulders, we must not be afraid to put pressure on the muscles, but massage towards the muscle fibres all the time. Finish the massage as you started, by gently rubbing and stroking the muscles.
In addition to the massage and the massage equipment, we would recommend an exercise to help you get the right posture. You also need to learn to work with mental stress, not to take things so seriously and to incorporate the word NO into your time management, because the extra weight of work brings problems especially to your health.
So how to choose the right massage machine?
Before you look for a particular massage machine, think about what you expect from it. Set a goal and answer the questions, “How much money do I want to invest in the machine?” or “What do I want to achieve through massage?” “Which part of my back do I want to massage specifically and why?” These questions need to be answered properly to avoid possible disappointment.
Among the back massagers, massage chairs are well-known and first appeared in East Asia. However, a massage chair is a somewhat financially demanding affair and also takes up space. That is why massage chairs are more suited to shopping malls, where they make people’s stay more pleasant and provide relaxation from heavy shopping.
In shops and e-shops we can find various handheld massage devices, electric stimulators, car massage pads, foot massagers and others. Thus, with regard to portability and weight, handheld massagers are the best solution because you can use them to massage what you need. It also depends on the size and power of the device. In recent years, many athletes are inclined towards using massage guns that are powerful, easy to handle, but you can also take them anywhere with you.
What to choose a massage gun for?
Massage guns have burst the bag in recent years and have become a part of many athletes’ lives. The charm of massage guns lies mainly in the fact that they are lightweight, portable and contain multiple heads. So you can enjoy a massage on different parts of the body and manage to perform it yourself. If you are looking for a back massager, you can also enjoy a massage on your thighs, hips, arms as well as on your feet and hands.

Specifically with massage guns, it is important to use a quality massager that is quiet, powerful enough and doesn’t stick in your hand. You should also monitor how many decibels the device emits, because you should enjoy the massage, not listen to an unpleasant buzzing noise during it. Just MISURA massage guns emit only 35 decibels, which makes the strength of the sound comparable to, for example, the ticking of a clock or a very faint whisper. Another criterion is to be guided by how deeply the pulses hit the muscle tissues. The deeper the pulses hit the tissues, the more the area in question will be massaged and you can be sure that the back muscles will be properly regenerated.
With the MISURA massage gun, the depth of hit is 12 mm, indicating a deep hit. When using the MISURA massage gun, we strongly advise you to use the forked head, which is designed especially for massaging the neck and back in general. In the MB1Pro massage gun package you will find another five heads, so you can also enjoy massaging other parts of the body.

Neck massage
Back and neckpain is a problem for almost every other person, which is why back and neck massages are very popular. Thanks to massage devices, you can also relieve your pain. The MISURA gun uses high-frequency vibration stimulation to reach deep into the tissues, thus relaxing the muscles. Therefore, the fork head is suitable for back and neck massage, with which you can get rid of the feeling of tension and pain in the back areas. This head is also ergonomically shaped to massage the spine, neck and Achilles tendon. Caution must be exercised especially in the kidney and cervical spine areas.
