Pure Wave Massager

I’ve heard some rumblings about this thing called a Pure Wave Massager.  It’s supposed to work wonders and is recommended by lots of different professionals like : massage therapists, athletes, chiropractors, physical therapists and just every day people.  I’ve been thinking about it for a few days and after watching some YouTube videos I see many different uses and how the handle allows you to get a greater reach and it’s cordless.  It’s supposed to help with lots of different pain and it breaks up knots.  I think I am a knot factory or at least my upper back is.  I’ve tried a few things and nothing short of several massages in a series will break them up. 

Well I bit the bullet and bought the sports version it’s supposed to be the most intense and intensity is exactly what I need.  They have this attachment called a pointed stick that looks like what I need to target these knots without having to get on the floor and try to use a foam roller.  It’s $149 with tax and Amazon should be dropping mine off on Thursday sometime.  I could have gotten the base model tomorrow so I don’t quite understand why the sports version takes a few days longer.  However, a few more days in pain isn’t going to kill me I mean I have been suffering for a while now. 

I bought a massage gun a while back but it doesn’t allow me to reach where I need to go.  The corded massager I have allows me to reach where I want to go but it doesn’t really do a whole lot for me in the way of relief.  My tens unit does help some but I don’t always have the ability to target exactly where the pads need to go.  Ice does help some but it’s temporary and the pain comes back in a short while. 

I need (or should I say knead) to break up the knots like the FCC broke up Ma Bell.  Based on what I have seen and read it looks like this tool should do exactly that.  The key of course is regular use.  It’s not going to replace a massage therapist but with COVID still lurking I am not exactly eager to go get a massage.  Here’s hoping this is exactly what I have been looking for and that what I have read and seen isn’t all hype.  If it is I will box this thing up and return it.  I’ve got 30 days so that should be plenty of time to tell me if this is or isn’t going to work for me. 

Fingers crossed.  Below is a photo of what I am speaking of.  They say it’s also good for things like TMJ and Migraines.  I don’t have either of those but I know there are lots of people who do.  There is even an attachment that allows you to place your favorite pain relief cream on it and apply it exactly where you need it, that is kind of nifty.  You never have to get it on your hands.  It really just sounds like a God send.  Fingers crossed!

I am no athlete but I got this model because it’s the most intense, otherwise I would have just tried the base model.  In this case the intensity should hopefully serve to get me out of pain quicker.
