After understanding the benefits of the above high-quality waist massager, it is estimated that many friends can't wait to start a waist massager, but before that, I would like to remind you that there are still some inferior waist massagers on the market that will damage muscles, and such inferior products will also produce many of the following harms.
Hazard 1, lead to illnessofAggravation
Poor compatibility, vibration frequency and excessive massage force are among the common problems of inferior products, which can lead to exacerbation of the condition, especially for people with inflammatory diseases, and the spread of inflammation.
Hazard 2causedMuscle fibrosis and atrophy
Inferior products do not strictly control the workmanship of the massage head, resulting in the massage head being too hard, and if it is used carelessly by patients with muscle atrophy, it will lead to atrophy and muscle fibrosis.

Many inferior waist massagers on the market massage force and frequency are too violent, which may cause the muscles of the waist to lose sensation and stiffness during the massage.

3. Analyze the four major reasons for the harm of inferior waist massagers
Do waist massagers work? Many people may start to worry about the above hazards after reading them. But in fact, as long as we understand the reasons why lumbar massagers can damage muscles, then we can take some measures to avoid these risks. For this reason, I specially got a summary chart of the negative evaluation of the waist massager in the following picture from an authoritative organization, and I also summarized the following four major reasons for muscle damage based on this figure.
Reason 1ShockThe frequency is unevenThe massage is not precise
Inferior waist massager not only massages in the position of the massage is not accurate, but also the vibration frequency is uneven, and the use of such products for a long time can easily cause damage to the psoas muscles.
Reason 2: Inferior motors and chips
The use of inferior motors and chips to make a waist massager will lead to insufficient power and inaccurate chips, and the strength is uneven during the massage process, which not only has no massage effect, but also causes aggravation of waist pain.
Reason 3: Massage head and electrodesVery inferior
In order to reduce the cost, the inferior products on the market use massage heads and electrodes that are of inferior quality, which may damage the muscles when used.
Reason 4: Excessive force and current stimulation
Inferior waist massagers will exaggerate the strength and current, and our psoas muscles will be damaged due to violent kneading and excessive stimulation in the long run.
Through the above, we know that a good quality waist massager is very useful, and we also know that a bad quality waist massager has a lot of harm and can damage the muscles. So, what kind of lumbar massager won't damage the muscles? You can take a look, the following picture is a comparison chart of the core data of the waist massager brand that I collected from relevant forums, and you can also buy a waist massager according to this figure.

Fourth, a summary of eight tips for buying a high-quality waist massager
Do waist massagers work? After reading all the above content of the waist massager, you should already know that only high-quality waist massagers can provide us with very useful massage effects, but how do we buy high-quality waist massagers? For this reason, I have specially compiled a list of eight ** purchase skills for your reference based on my own experience.
Guide 1: Choose a composite structure of airbag + vibration type products
Lumbar massagers are generally divided into two types: physical and current. Among them, the physical category is also divided into: physical kneading type, airbag type, vibration type, airbag + vibration type.
Physical kneading type:This type of massager is too strong during massage, which will cause redness, swelling and damage to the muscles and bones of the waist due to violent kneading.
Airbag + Vibration Type:We can enjoy the two massage methods at the same time, the airbag massage can also be equipped with high-frequency vibration, so that the muscles can get a more soothing massage effect, and the kneading area and accuracy have also increased a lot, and the massage effect is good. However, at present, only Mino is of this type on the market.
Vibration type:It is difficult to massage the muscles accurately, and there is also the problem of excessive vibration frequency, and if the massage is carried out for a long time, it will be easy to cause fatigue and damage to the psoas muscles.
Balloon type:The airbag is used to simulate the massage of the human hand, so that the waist muscles can be soothed massage. In addition, the inflated airbag can also have the function of jacking up and supporting the waist. However, the massage pressure may be gentle, and those with heavy waist aches may not be ideal when using it.
Current Pulse Type:There are a lot of complaints about this kind of product in the market, because it can only stimulate the psoas muscle through the stinging sensation of the current, and the current is overstimulated, which will cause great damage to the psoas muscle! In addition, the massage head and vibration motor are not professionally designed, resulting in no massage sensation in the deep muscles.
It is recommended that when choosing the type of massager, you must look for a professional and high-quality waist massager in order to effectively alleviate waist problems. If you use inferior products, it will cause a lot of *** in the waist muscles
Guide 2,The choice of brand
Brands that focus on R&D technology will be stronger and have experienced teams, and will repeatedly tune and test the core performance of their products. Ensure that its massager will not cause muscle damage when used for a long time, and the repair effect on the psoas muscles and lumbar spine is also stronger.
Guide 3: Choose to use four groupsMetalsmotor products
The waist massager with four sets of metal motors has excellent vibration frequency stability, and the power is also more anti-attenuation, and can also provide a more soothing relaxation effect for deep muscles.
Guide 4,It's best to chooseThe kneading area is large
The product with a large kneading area can massage the waist muscles more comprehensively, and can also massage more waist acupuncture points. The product with a small kneading area can only massage a more concentrated position, and the massage effect is poor.
Guide 5: Choose a product with moderate vibration frequency
Choosing a product with a moderate vibration frequency is not only compatible, but also has a particularly useful massage effect, which is also better for the repair effect of the psoas muscles, and can also be used by more people with different muscle tolerances.
Guide 6To selectHigh fit
The high-fitting waist massager not only fits firmly to the psoas muscles, but also has strong stability. In addition, it allows for a more soothing kneading of the deeper muscles.
Guide 7: Select a gearwithCompatible products
The gear and the massager with good compatibility will be professionally adjusted according to different muscle characteristics to form a high degree of compatibility, in addition, its gear can also be adjusted according to its own needs.
Guide 8: Choose a product with a support and fixation design at the waist
It is recommended to choose the fixed design of the waist is the support strip design, because it adopts the design of imitation spine curve, and many elastic strips can be set on the massager, which provides good support for the waist and has a better protection effect.
Do waist massagers work? Here, I would like to remind you again that when buying products, you must look for professional brand products with high compatibility and technical tuning for core performance, because only such products will help us better relax our muscles and prevent waist diseases. And those inferior, low**, Internet celebrity brands or cross-border brands, you must not buy blindly, because this kind of inferior quality not only has a poor massage effect, but also causes muscle damage.
