A massage gun.
I got something called the LifePro Sonic Pro X or something like that, but it looks like the same gun is sold under different brands.
I have back issues (muscular, not skeletal thank god) and combined with a sitting-heavy job I can get really tight and wound up in a way that fucks up my posture, my walking gait, and my ability to get a good workout in at the end of the day.
The massage gun reallly lets you loosen up and focus on areas that are tough to stretch, and it’s a lot gentler and less stressful than stretching. It has made a huge difference for me, all over my body.
I massage gun while docker builds or CI tests are running, when my mic and camera are off during a meeting, etc. Great stuff.
- LanceH 5y agoI bought the hypervolt hyperice. I was somewhat skeptical about massage guns in general until I started using it and it is amazing. It can really dig into hip flexors, legs muscles and the lower back where the old-style massagers are much more surface level. I also got a tv with bluetooth so I can watch action movies full volume on the headset while people in the house sleep. It also makes up for the terrible acoustics in my bedroom which seems to dampen all sound (great for sleeping, bad for tv).
