Massage gun usage
I have back muscle stiffness and some posture issues as well. While I am looking to consult with a physiotherapist for posture issues in some time, for my back muscle stiffness that is happening regularly every day due to working from home, I am looking to buy a massage gun for the same. The reviews of the products are pretty good. Do they work? And should I use them?
Possible reasons for back stiffness could be RSI ( Repitative strain injury ) .
Now understanding if your back musculature is stiff and to what grade would require proper evaluation and also your posture and ergonomics .
These would help in identifying the root cause and will assist you get rid of back stiffness .
Again it's just stiffness or Pain / discomfort ?
Usage of massage gun is not really advisable before proper assesment of underlying condition .
