Body massager tools make giving yourself a massage simple. Massage tools simulate the pressure and percussive movements applied by the palms and digits. Relax and relieve stress in your muscles without a trip to the massage therapist.
Hand-L
Made of stoneware clay, this professional body massager tool reduces thumb and finger fatigue for people who perform a lot of massage on clients or themselves. Created to replace digital pressure, the Hand-L is "designed to use as a trigger point tool, for deep tissue massage, or for simple relaxation," according to the designer, Bob McAtee.
Grab the body massager tool with your thumb up. Place the pad of your thumb against the upper most lip of the Hand-L and the lower most lip on the body. Rock your hand forward to apply the pressure.
Small in size, with a zig-zag shape, the Hand-L offers consumers and professionals a light and portable effective massage tool.
Bonger
The Bonger is modeled after a traditional Japanese massage tool. About a foot and a half in length, picture a thin piece of flexible metal six inches in length and an inch wide inserted into a blue rubber ball at one end and an oblong wooden handle on the other.
With the Bonger you can recreate the percussive technique of tapotement without using the hands to strike the body. Rhythmically tapping the body is tiring, however the Bonger makes applying this technique practically effortless. Simply strike the muscles repeatedly with the ball end of the massager tool.
The Bonger can be used to break up adipose tissue, also known as cellulite.
Tennis Ball
A common tennis ball serves as an inexpensive and effective body massager tool. It mimics effleurage, a basic massage technique performed with the fingertips. Do a self massage for aching feet. Place the tennis ball on the floor and your bare foot on top of it while seated or standing. Move the sole of your foot in all directions and in a circular motion while maintaining contact with the tennis ball. Apply the amount of pressure comfortable for you.
Relieve sore and tired forearms too with the tennis ball as a body massager tool. Sit at a table. Place the ball on top of the table and any fleshy part of your forearm on the ball. Move your arm back and forth, along with circular motions. This method of self massage offers just the right thing to increase circulation for those who work on the computer all day.
