SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Back problems? save the big bucks for a tempur pedic memory foam mattress This little device works wonders. Apply, crank up the volume and sit for 30 minutes a session. here is another style - having a remote would be easier to turn on and set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We have massage seats in our vehicle, and I never use it. It feels funny. Hubby loves it though (back troubles). If you have a bad back and take long drives, look into that feature on your next vehicle (they are offered in a lot more vehicles these days!)

At tailgate he had to seek comfort by laying in back bed of my pick-up... Which really isn't that comfortable (duh)... But it was the cleanest place to stretch out.

Curious to know if @ndirish1978 ever got one and how it went over. . i may not be 100%, but it's an electrical stimulation unit. my chiropractor uses it on occasion when i have site specific pain. it really loosens up the area after you get over the stimulation part. they sell various level of them on amazon. i haven't bought on myself yet, but i'm going to to use in place of a healing pad. i was at a seminar recently concerning back and neck pain. our local dental society put it on, and it was incredible. my pain is from a muscular source, (not spine or bone related), so i've found that we basic therapy, (a few stretches so far) i can really eliminate back pain. it mostly has to do with how i sit all day, and how that becomes my new norm. when i stand and do something basic, i can easily throw out my back as a result. that hasn't happened in a while, fingers crossed. if anyone thinks their back pain my be due to positioning from work, i strongly suggest you look into the egoscue method. there's no centers in wny, but they can do zoom treatment if desired. i know a number of people who have used it, and claim it's changed their lives. it will be my next step if my basic exercises stop working.

After all it’s been 3-1/2 years since he started this thread. I lol'd when I saw this thread was revived, I completely forgot about it. Thanks for the question. I didn't wind up buying one. Some people have backs that are messed up and need serious help, I dunno what to recommend for that; in my case I just decided to work on better fitness and made a few quality of life purchases that helped. 1- I started working out my back muscles a lot more to strengthen them. 2- Bought a mattress pad and that made a big difference, I have a 3 inch tempur-pedic. 3- I upgraded my office chair with a Herman Miller one. 4- I got a percussion massage gun for muscle tightness and I just go get a massages when I'm super sore. My masseuse has one of those tens machines teef mentioned. Back feels a lot better, thanks. Edited July 8, 2021 by ndirish1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
