The Bongers Massage Tool is an effective, surprisingly diverse hand held massager designed to relieve tension in your muscles! Most people store tension in their neck and shoulders, and that's usually where BONGERS are most effective. However, they feel good all over, giving an invigorating, Shiatsu-like massage. Their flexible shafts do all the work, allowing the massager to BONGER indefinitely without tiring. Ironically, massage therapists enjoy these BONGERS to help relieve muscle fatigue and tightness they experience in their own bodies while giving massages!
BONGERS are traditional massage tools in Japan. They're good for breaking down muscle tension and stimulating circulation. Additionally, some have mentioned a benefit of ridding the body of cellulite although we have not put this benefit to the test ourselves.
A hidden benefit wihch we have put to the test is that BONGERS can also act as a wonderful proprioception tool, while strengthening your arms and shoulders. You can hold the BONGER straight up vertically and wobble the ball left to right while holding your arm rigid to exercise your shoulders. You can also wobble the ball toward and away from you to exercise your triceps and arms. Staring at the ball while wobbling it helps train your brain to remember where your hand is in space (proprioception). This helps with hand-eye coordination and is extremely useful during recovery from strokes, Muscular Dystrophy, Dementia, or Parkinson's.
