5 best back massagers

An important step in the prevention of diseases of the spine and back muscles is massage. If there are no contraindications, it can be done at home using massagers. They are electrical devices with moving parts, the manipulations of which should be similar to the manual action of the master. By the principle of operation, these devices are classified as follows:

• manual mechanical - inexpensive, easy to use, but require constant effort and often ineffective;
• electric roller - function from the mains, battery or batteries and allow high-quality massage of the deeper layers of the skin;
• Vacuum - create a strong massage pressure and provide the back muscles with a good massage, but they require some skill in management;
• vibrational - transmit mechanical vibrations from the work item to the treated area and thereby contribute to the removal of spasms and toning;
• ultrasound - they are very effective and painless to conduct a session, but they are better suited for cosmetic massage of the face and neck, rather than restorative work with the back.

Many models combine several types of exposure and are complemented by such useful options as infrared heating, reverse timer with auto power off, automatic programming, etc. Their presence greatly improves comfort, prevents improper operation and increases efficiency. According to reviews, after the first session of self-massage at home, the person feels relieved in the zone where pain was present before. After a full course of 5-10 procedures, it goes completely, posture improves, and efficiency increases.

However, when buying and using the device, you need to understand that back massage is one of the methods of physiotherapy that has an impressive list of contraindications: diabetes, renal failure, an established pacemaker, bleeding, fever. This list is not fully provided, so consultation with a specialist before application is required. It is equally important to approach responsibly to the choice of a massager, and to simplify it, we have compiled a rating of the best, in our opinion, models that have earned high marks in user reviews and are distinguished by high functionality.

Top 5 best back massagers

5 Planta MP-010B

Manual massagers have a common major drawback: they are designed for manipulation with the hands, and self-massage with their help does not lead to complete relaxation. Is it a massage pillow model MP-010B from the American brand Planta: if the body needs rest, it is convenient to put it under the lower back or under the shoulders and turn on the necessary mode of operation - with infrared heating, without it or combined. The massage rollers will knead the tense areas of the back according to the Japanese massage technique, shiatsu, relieve spasm, warn or relieve osteochondrosis.

The device can be used at home, at work, in a car - there is an additional adapter for connecting to a car power supply network, and when connected to a regular outlet, the length of the power cord allows you to comfortably stay at a distance from it.On the headrest of a chair or car seat, the massager is attached with a special belt, and after it is turned on, no additional actions are required from the person.

4 Vacu Expert Beauty Gesatone

To eliminate cellulite bumps and creases on the back, cosmetologists offer a special type of massage - vacuum. An electric massager VACU Expert Beauty was developed for home use. It can work out a deep layer of subcutaneous fat and even out the skin, breaking cellulite granules. This combined effect was made possible by the double action of a special roller nozzle: when skin is sucked in (the aspiration force can be smoothly adjusted), the skin surface is simultaneously treated with ribbed rollers, which causes blood flow to the problem area and stimulates lymphatic drainage.

The results are described quite vividly in the reviews: the back stops whining, the folds gradually smooth, the skin becomes elastic and looks better. An additional advantage of this massager is the ability to operate without connecting to the mains (there is a built-in battery with a capacity of 600 mAh), the presence of additional canned nozzles and 4 automatic programs for different parts of the body and face.

3 Medisana ITM

The secret of manual massage lies in the exchange of natural warmth and skillful pressure on certain points and back areas. Modern electrical devices like the ITM massager from the German company Medisana, while not capable of 100% copying of human touches, are convenient for use at home. And they also perform movements that are beyond the power of even the most professional craftsman, namely, they vibrate at a frequency of 2-3 thousand movements per second (!).

In the reviews they say that such a frequency of oscillations together with infrared heating provides a clear effect in the form of breaking fat on the back, pulling up the second chin and strengthening the muscles. However, to get the result, you need an integrated approach and regular massage treatments for about 15 minutes. The device operates on 220V mains, has an infinitely variable intensity adjustment and is ready to serve the owner without fail in order for at least 3 years.

Unlike other electric massagers, it is used in the supine position, which is already an essential respite for the spine. However, you can just lie down on a regular bed, and the device became one of the leaders' rating thanks to a full set of massage modes: it “can” knead, pat, rub, tap and press on bioactive points.

Modes at will can be switched manually or resorted to an automatic program, adjusting the speed and force of exposure so as not to feel the slightest discomfort. There are also buttons "Back", "Neck", "Loin", "Hip", clicking on which you can work out the corresponding parts of the body. The ergonomics of the device is well thought out: it has pockets for the remote control, the right amount of fixers on the velcro, an anti-slip coating. And all this, pay attention, for quite reasonable cost.
