When I was around 19, I was told that I had bulging discs in my lower back. Masseuses have scolded me for how bad my shoulders are. In short, I have a bad back so when I bought an at-home back massager, I was jazzed at the prospects of loosening tension while binge-watching Parks and Recreation. If you also want the freedom to enjoy your at-home life while getting a semi-spa-like experience, might I suggest one of the massagers below that you can safely order and ship to your door through Amazon.
Naipo Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager, $40 on Amazon: This is the massager I have. The best part of it is, while it may look like a straight jacket, the armbands allow you to control the pressure. Let your arms hang loose and you have a nice kneading sensation. Pull them towards you and you have a jackhammer attempting to break apart concrete.
Body Back Buddy Back Massager, $30 on Amazon: A coworker of mine brought this thing in to use in the office and for that, I am thankful. It may look like a weird sex thing or a child’s toy (it’s weird how those shapes overlap) but each knob can help work out knots and ease tension through pressure point therapy.
