Bongers

i bought a pair when i was in school.i found that the motion to use them for more than a couple of minutes was too much for my wrists and hands.on the bright side, short burst of use seem to work better. i used them alot when i had larger chair events. sometimes a minute or two was just enough to save my hands, knowing i had 3 or 4 hours of work ahead of me.

I use them occasionally with deep tissue massage, usually along the rhomboids, traps, or large muscle groups. I have one client that loves it, and would use the whole hour with them if he could. He calls it "getting tenderized."  I am still trying to work up a good rhythm. I use them over the sheet, they sting a bit on skin.

That is a good idea. I had used these a bit after school when I worked for the Prof. clinic, but haven't since. I like to end my chair massages with tapotement, but it makes my hands itch afterwhile. Good reason to get a set!

Bongers!

This is an old topic but I gotta say how much I love Bongers for self care. If I get muscle tension in my back I lay on them or lean on them in my car (they fit real snug between me and the seat back) and use the handles to get them in the right place and let my body weight do the work. Or I push a bit on the steering wheel in the car for a little pressure. Clearly, you gotta use good judgement if you use them in the car, though, but they are great if you are traveling and stuck in the car for hours on end.

I have a set. I use them at chair events, Use'em to beat the person. In a nice way.

I have a set too and use them all the time for clients,and for my self-care,as they feel so good . Took me awhile to get a good rhythm down, but now I can "bong" pretty well.

Namaste,
Johnny

I don't use Bongers professionally, but I have given them as gifts, and people love them. They're a great home-care tool. If you have retail space in your office, these would be great to sell! Does anyone know where you can buy them wholesale?

I think Massage Warehouse gives you a discount if you buy multiples, but I'm not sure about that.

I use them for some self-care and also when I do chair massage. Its the one time I can beat on people and they enjoy it! LOL

Bongers?

I don't want to sound stupid, don't know if its an American term or something but i'm unsure what they are... could someone explain... im guessing they're not the term used for someone that uses a bong... but im guessing by what i've read, its a vibrating device or something that you strap on your hand... please explain??

Here's a link for you:

Bongers (pair) are both fun and easy to use. Bongers provide an invigorating percussion- like massage called tapotement which improves circulation, eases muscle tension, and reduces the appearance of cellulite. You'll get years of enjoyment "bonging" your friends.

Bongers are a tapotement tool. Here is what they look like:

I have been in desperate need to lose weight and get in shape. So, I've started a very strict exercise routine 5 days a week. The morning after my first workout, I was so sore I didn't think I would be able to even squat to go to the bathroom, let alone actually exercise that day! So, I laid comfortably on my bed with my head and back propped up with pillows, watched TV and RELAXED while I "bonged" my quads, hamstrings. etc. By the end of the 1/2 hour show, my legs felt great and I was able to work out. I've used them every night on my legs (making sure to relax the leg muscles and never maneuver my body to make my legs tense up, if that makes sense) and I haven't been sore at all. So, that right there has made Bongers awesome in my opinion! My husband has started working out as well and I do his legs everynight and he has been great with no soreness as well (and he has had a ripped hamstring in the past which has made his exercising very sensitive).

I love the idea of giving them as gifts! When I have my own spa I will certainly sell them - great ideas!

Hugs,

I occationally use my set of bongers on clients to do tapodament on the back, particularly around the shoulder blades. I don't use them on every client, but I have some clients whoLOVE it, and then there are certainly those who can't tolerate it. I use them over the sheet and bong for 2-3 minutes using a steady rhythm and medium pressure. Most people say that they have to concentrate not to be lulled off to sleep because the rhythm can be so relaxing. I use the bongers to transition from the back into the lower body. I have also found through the years that my bongers are one of my most coveted self care tools.
