Do you suffer from pain in your back, neck, or any other part of your body? Are you thinking that you would like a complete massage experience at home, anytime? You can have it, by using the corresponding massage device for the area you want to relax. However, you need to know how to use each device for maximum results. Let's see how you can properly use each device, depending on the type.

Pistols & Tools

If you want to relax a specific point or a group of points on your body and have control over the process, a massage gun or tool can help you.

• If it is an electronic device, make sure it is sufficiently charged.
• Choose the appropriate attachment for the area you want to work on and activate the device at a low intensity to start.
• Prefer gentle circular motions around the tight muscle, gradually adjusting the intensity.
• Use it for about up to 2 minutes on each point for the best possible results.
• You can focus on the spine, joints, large muscles, and other parts of the body depending on the head you will use.

Pillows

Do you have neck pain? Do you work long hours in front of a computer and need a device that will relax you and relieve tension? A massage pillow is the ideal device for you.

• Place the pillow on your neck, shoulders, or legs and make sure it is charged or plugged in.
• Many massage pillows also have a heating option for extra relaxation and relief.
• Make the necessary adjustments and let the device work for you, without further effort.
• You can change position or reposition the pillow to bring it to the desired area or cover larger areas.
• Use the massage pillow for about 15-20 minutes, while you work, placing it on your office chair, while driving, or while watching your favorite show on the couch.

Seats

The seats offer a type of massage ideal for the torso and relaxation of the body. The body is in a position as if sitting in a chair and can relieve pain in the lower back, back, sides, and neck.

• Before taking a seat in a massage chair, make the necessary adjustments so that it fully adapts to the structure of your body.
• Then, depending on the chair, you can choose the type of massage you need, the intensity at each point, as well as the duration.
• Many massage chairs come with a remote control, which you can use during the massage to adjust it to your needs without having to change position.
• You don't need to do anything else or exert more effort. For this reason, it is suitable for use by beginners with little knowledge and techniques.
• Use the chair for 15-20 minutes each time, for enhancing blood circulation and relaxing tired muscles, relieving them from tension and pain.

Foot Baths

If your soles are tired and worn out, a foot bath is what will relieve...your feet!

• Place the device on a smooth floor, in front of a chair or the sofa.
• Add enough water to adequately cover your feet. You can also use some fragrant or essential oil for more relaxation.
• After making the necessary adjustments, place your feet inside the device and then turn it on.
• Use the foot bath for 15-20 minutes for relaxed soles, which also contribute to the relaxation of the rest of your body.

Rollers

With a roller, you can focus on a specific area of the body and provide relief with gentle back-and-forth movements. You can find rollers for combating cellulite, as well as foam rollers that will help you relieve pain that may arise from intense exercise, a sedentary lifestyle, or even cramps.

• Find the appropriate space for using the roller, depending on its size and the area you will focus on.
• Pay attention to the pressure you apply, depending on the area. Try to avoid sensitive areas.
• Use for 1-2 minutes daily on each muscle group or area of your body for relief from the day's fatigue. 

General Tips:

• Before you start using a massage device, drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins released by the massage.
• Consult a specialist for the proper and safe use of the device.
• Read the user instructions and watch related videos that can help you make the most of the device in every possible area.
• Start by using the lowest intensity setting, especially if it’s your first time using a massage device. See how each part of your body responds and then increase the intensity according to your needs and preferences.
• Prepare your space to inspire calm and relaxation by adding aromatic candles, aromatherapy diffuser, and various room fragrances.

• Find the right space to perform a massage, depending on the device. For example, a chair requires more space, as does a foam roller. Meanwhile, a handheld tool can be used on your couch or bed.
• Use gentle and soft movements if you are handling the device with your hands. The exercise of proper strength can be crucial for pain relief.
• Make sure you have a good understanding of your body and avoid areas that are sensitive and can be easily injured, such as ligaments and bones.
• If someone else is going to use the device on you, such as in areas that you cannot easily reach, make sure they have read this article as well.
