A guide to the actual test of waist massager

Sitting in the office, hours pass by in a blink of an eye. I am so busy that I don’t even have time to move my butt off the chair. It is inevitable that I will have back pain after a long time. As a sports rehabilitation therapist, waist massagers (also known as waist belts, waist massagers) are often used as auxiliary tools. However, there are many inferior products on the market that hurt waist muscles and lumbar spine. So, what brand of waist massager is good to use? Let’s walk into the “ocean” of strategies on how to choose a waist massager! I will also show you five top products! The following are some of the products I have reviewed:

From the following pictures, you can see what effects and disadvantages will occur if you choose an inferior waist massager. On the contrary, a professional and high-quality waist massager has many advantages!

1. Relieve waist fatigue and pain. 

When using the waist massager, it massages and heats the waist to accelerate the blood circulation in the waist, thereby relieving waist pain and waist discomfort caused by insufficient qi and blood and blocked blood circulation.

2. It promotes the recovery of the waist. 

The use of waist massagers can help to promote the recovery of waist discomfort or inflammation. After the waist massager is running, the local blood circulation is improved, thus producing a positive effect of promoting recovery. It should be reminded that everyone should carefully feel the health of the waist and choose to seek medical treatment in time according to the specific situation.

3. Prevention of waist diseases. 

Using a waist massager can relax waist muscles after regular waist massage and hot compress, and prevent waist diseases such as lumbar disc herniation caused by long-term sitting and long-term fatigue.

4. Sleep problems are relieved. 

Using a waist massager to massage and apply hot compress to the waist before going to bed can promote blood circulation and metabolism, relieve a day’s fatigue, relieve waist pain and discomfort, and ensure sleep quality.

What brand of waist massager is good? There are many advantages to choosing a waist massager with excellent quality. I have come across many good and professional waist massagers before, but I have also fallen into many traps. I have summarized the following 6 purchasing tips, hoping to help you.

1. Brand technical strength

When choosing a waist massager, the brand’s technical strength is one of the most important factors to pay attention to. For professional brands, this will be reflected in their repeated adjustments of many parameters including the kneading area, kneading strength, muscle injury rate, support and repair degree for the lumbar muscles and lumbar spine, and the performance of the product during use, so that it can provide a good user experience, accurately knead the lumbar muscles and spine, and effectively repair lumbar muscle and lumbar strain.

2. When choosing the type of waist massager, you should pay attention to:

There are many types of waist massagers on the market, mainly these five categories: electromagnetic pulse type, backrest kneading type, portable vibration type, portable airbag type, airbag + vibration type.

① When the electromagnetic pulse mode is in operation, a pulse current will stimulate the muscles, but the massage effect cannot be guaranteed and it may also cause discomfort to people who are sensitive to electric current.

②The portable airbag type simulates manual massage by inflating and deflating the built-in airbag, but the force will be relatively gentle, and the demand for deep massage is more difficult to meet.

③ It is convenient to adjust the massage position by kneading with a backrest , but it is difficult to fix it. The massage force will be relatively strong, which may sometimes cause muscle damage and subcutaneous bleeding.

④ The portable vibration type will vibrate at a high frequency during use to relax the muscles, but it is almost impossible to massage a specific part of the body. It basically cannot support the waist and relieve pressure. Excessive vibration frequency may cause muscle discomfort.

⑤The airbag + vibration type has the lowest probability of rollover at present. It is the only one of this type in the industry. After the airbag is exhausted and inflated, combined with high-frequency vibration, the tight muscles of the fascia can be gradually relaxed, and the waist can also get good support because of the inflated airbag, which can repair the lumbar muscle strain relatively safely.

3. Pay attention to the stability of vibration frequency uniformity

A waist massager with insufficient vibration frequency uniformity and stability will have the problem of fluctuating force when used. Not only will the massage experience be bad, but the waist muscles may also be injured.

4. Kneading accuracy cannot be ignored

If the kneading accuracy is not sufficient, the waist massager will not be able to press the required position, but will act on other parts instead, which may cause the waist discomfort to increase or even the risk of muscle injury.

5. Pay attention to the design of lumbar support fixation

The use of a lumbar massager with a support and fixation design can prevent the downward shift of the lumbar spine’s physiological curvature to a certain extent, reduce lumbar muscle strain, prevent lumbar disc herniation, protect the lumbar muscles and lumbar vertebrae, reduce the pressure on them, and provide a deeper massage.

6. Choose a waist-tight fit

The massage head on this type of waist massager can fit closely to the waist muscles, ensuring the accuracy and comfort of the massage. It can achieve deep massage without deviation, bringing good massage effects while having a high level of comfort.

What brand of waist massager is good to use? In order to help you avoid pitfalls, in addition to sharing shopping tips, I have also reviewed a large number of waist massagers. The following are 5 products with their own characteristics. You can refer to the content.

The first one: AGVIEE

Features: The only one equipped with “double airbags + ultrasonic vibration”, the recognized pioneer in the field of “no muscle damage”!

In order to compete, brands on the market continue to add functions and sacrifice performance and quality, resulting in bloated products, poor performance, and damage to the lumbar muscles and lumbar spine. AGVIEE, as an extreme sports and health care brand, is recognized by the industry as the originator of the “no muscle injury” field! The core advantage of this medical-grade physiotherapy waist massager is that it is the only innovative “double airbag + ultrasonic vibration” dual structure kneading method.

In order to achieve the best performance without hurting the muscles, Weiye has developed a 35mm scientific airbag waist support design, an innovative sports abdominal belt design, a steel plate support strip design that imitates the spine curve, and other four-fold lumbar muscle support, which reduces the burden on the lumbar muscles and lumbar spine by 99.8% and increases the lumbar muscle support by 130%! At the same time, it is equipped with four sets of ultrasonic power engines and dual airbag therapy technology to achieve extremely low power attenuation, uniform and stable vibration, and increase the massage area and depth by 115%.

This waist massager is made of mesh fabric, which is anti-stuffy and breathable , so you don’t have to worry about stuffiness when using it in summer. However, it is a cushion type, and the overall weight is heavy, making it inconvenient to move and use. In addition, the massage area is too low, and it presses the coccyx instead of the waist. The accuracy of the massage position needs to be improved.

The timing function of this waist massager has been adjusted from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, thus reducing people’s concerns about the hidden dangers caused by excessive massage. It uses a wireless design, so you can get rid of the power cord when using it.

It has a large massage area and supports hot compress massage. However, the temperature control accuracy between the three levels of the product is slightly weak, which makes it very easy to get low-temperature burns during use. The temperature control accuracy needs to be optimized in the future to achieve better massage effects.

The waist massager consists of a waist protection part and a waist binding part. The widest part of the waist protection part is 235mm. After wearing it, the attachment area of ​​the waist protection part is very large.

This waist massager has a good fit, however, the massage comfort of the product is low, which can easily lead to muscle injuries during use. Therefore, the brand needs to focus on optimizing and improving muscle protection in the later stage.
