BEST FITNESS PRODUCT FOR BACK PAIN – TOP PICKS

Below I have included more detail about my favorite devices for treating back pain. As there is always innovation in the fitness industry, check back often as I will update this list as I test and review new fitness products.

 

All Around Tool for Back Pain -Theragun PRO Massager

While you can reach your own traps with little effort using the articulating shaft mount, the Theragun PRO Massager works best on the back if you have a partner to assist you. Most of all, it really loosened up my extremely tight traps and it felt great on my lower back. However, be sure you avoid the spine and shoulder blades to avoid any discomfort. Finally, the Theragun can be used with four different attachment heads, including a dampner option to reduce the pressure, so you can adjust the treatment style when needed.

Daily Back Pain - TheraCup Cupping Device

 

Firstly, the TheraCup Cupping Tool aims to provide the user relief from their back pain (or other stiff muscle areas) with a high tech suction device that delivers the ancient art of cupping therapy with heat and vibration. The suction intensity can be adjusted for 3 levels thru a press of a button, so that you can find the right level of suction to help relieve your sore back muscles.

 

Secondly, this cupping set offers full mobility, so you can work on something else while aiding the recovery of your sore back muscles. You may feel worried that the product may not stay in place and must be constantly adjusted, but don’t worry because the suction cup will ensure that the TheraCup will stay secure and in place even when on the move.

 

Thirdly, the TheraCup Cupping Machine doesn’t require any fire or chemicals, simply turn it on and place it on the spot in need of therapy, and it is ready to go. In summary, you will immediately begin to enjoy the soothing benefits brought on by the TheraCup Cupper.

Warm-Up for Tight Upper & Lower Back Muscles

Firstly, the RecoveryTherm Back Heat and Vibration Wraps are one of the most overlooked, underrated solutions for back pain on the market. As soon as I warmed these up and tried them on, I felt instant relief - my back muscles begin to relax from the heat and vibration. In fact, it only takes less than 1 minute to heat these wraps. The RecoveryTherm Back provide instant relief and work really well with releasing tension.

Pinched Nerve Back Pain

If you are dealing with back pain from pinched nerves, the Compex Electrical Stim might be the best tool for you. Our backs are constantly in a contracted position due to commutes, desk jobs and modern forms of entertainment. Compex E Stims provide greater blood flow and simulates the act of exercise by causing activity in the region upon which you affix the cups, called electrodes. From my experience, you will feel the impact from all of this muscle twitching immediately. If I had to choose one tool for back pain resulting from pinched nerves, I would choose a Compex E Stimm.

Sports / Workout Induced Back Pain

For athletes who need to recover from tough competitions or weight room soreness, the PowerPlay Device will aid in recovery time. This device provides sequential compression and ice cold therapy to your back, which in my experience helped me reduce both my swelling and pain. This is a convenient way to ice and receive compression, as it is powered by an extremely portable battery unit.

Tool for Treatment Along Thoracic Spine + Alignment

If you need targeted relief to along the Thoracic spine, the MyoStorm Meteor 2.1 Heated Vibrating Massage Ball is the best product for you. As shown in the image above, you can also use it to loosen your traps and tight upper back muscles. Rolling on the MyoStorm Meteor can help improve the overall mobility and flexibility of the spine. In addition, you also will release tension from tight back muscles in hard to reach areas. Unlike a foam roller, you will not be adding additional strain on your spine when you roll on your back, as the Meteor 2.0 is small enough to target sore spots without putting pressure on the spine.
