I put my back out of wack Saturday just standing in the cornor hanging a hat rack. Nothing too stressful, simply turned to walk away and felt as though someone had punched me in the small of my back. This happened to me the first time when i was 23 (can you believe it?) and on and off over the years only lately, say the last 14 years, with some regularity.
As usual I went to the quack-o-practor to have my back realigned. He off course has me lay on my stomach and proceeds to push on my back, over and over..ouch! So this time I ask if him if a massager works at all. He says a good massage does help relieve stress and tension, but I should focus on ice pack on my back for now.
I have had massages before, but never have owned a massage machine.
My dad had one that I always though was shaped like a ...Johnson, get your Johnsonville here. And when my in laws had both passed, i found this gizmo that looked like an electric razor, only it had a 10 foot cord, and instead of blades, it had this solid chromed piece, with two distinct points about 3 inches apart. I tried it as a neck massager, and figured it was not meant for that, because it seemed more desisned to fit the anatomy elsewhere....
So I am Kohl's (in case you don't know, its a department store, sells mostly clothes and some other stuff, small appliances for the kitchen) and at the check out is this cute little gizmo, and I have no idea what it is, I pick it up, and read the label...its a massager! I won't plug the brand, but its available everywhere.
It does seem to work, in some ways WAY better than others, so as they say...Say hello to my lil friend!
