While you used to have to book an appointment at a spa to enjoy the benefits of massage therapy, portable devices now exist that enable you to benefit from self-massages. You can give yourself a soothing massage at home, at the gym, or on the go with portable massagers.
Handheld massage guns are designed to target specific muscle groups for deep-tissue massages. You can use these devices to penetrate more deeply into soft muscle tissue than you can with your fingers and help relieve stubborn knots.
Another study with over 400 participants concluded that massage therapy may be helpful in relieving back pain. Alongside rest and other back pain remedies, massage could be a useful form of relief and relaxation.
Massage therapy, whether done by a professional or yourself, is a great way to calm your mind and relax your muscles. Massage can provide relief from tension and stress as you focus on the soothing feeling of pressure on your skin and muscles.
Therapeutic massage may also promote better focus by helping you relax when you find your mind racing and feel overwhelmed. When you find yourself struggling to focus on a task or activity, consider stepping away for a short massage therapy session.
An important part of destressing is being able to focus on something other than the stress. The time you spend focusing on your muscles during a massage therapy session may help you better manage the stress of work.
An at-home foot massage is another option for recharging after a long day. When your feet are sore and tired, sit in a comfortable chair and enjoy a warming foot massage to soothe and relax your soles. Some footbaths contain massaging features that can add to the sense of relaxation they deliver.
You can also make at-home massages a part of your regular relaxation routine by using a handheld massager or foot massager. These devices put you in control of the massage, so you can enjoy exactly the level of pressure and vibration you like.
Consider using an aromatherapy diffuser during your massage session to add the soothing fragrances of essential oils and further promote relaxation. By calming your mind and focusing on the physical sensations of massage therapy, you can help yourself destress.
Along with muscle tightness, stress is a common factor that may contribute to tension headaches. These headaches often result in a steady, aching pain that may last for a few minutes or a few hours. By helping manage stress and its related symptoms, massage therapy may also help living well with tension headaches.
More research found that massage therapy resulted in higher muscle blood volume and helped increase blood flow in specific areas. This evidence points to massage therapy as an option that may help you manage soreness and tightness following exercise.
Massage benefits range from minor forms of relief to significant health improvements. The benefits of massage therapy can help you feel more relaxed, recharged, and ready to face new challenges and experiences.

HELLO...DOES ANYONE KNOW IF AN ELECTRIC MASSAGER IS OK TO USE WITH A PACEMAKER. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME ONE A WHILE AGO BEFORE ALL OF MY CARDIAC ISSUES. I LOVED IT. DO YOU THINK I CAN BRING IT OUT AGAIN??

The massager will cause no problems as long as you keep it a fair distance from your PM. I cannont tell you the distance but I think it would be the same as power tools. I use one all time on the back of my legs with no problems. I even got my PM doctors OK for ultra sound on my legs, just said to keep it at least 6 inches from the PM site. You just have to be careful of the magnitic field created by the motor in the unit.
I used to use a TENS machine to relieve aches and pains, but after my PM I was told not to use it above the waist. Recently I had to have pysiotherapy on my shoulder, the pysio confirmed this. So it would be alright for legs etc, but check with your surgeon first.

I use a vibrating massager on my neck all the time. I haven't noticed any problems at all. My doctor said to keep it 4 inches away from my pacemaker, which I easily do.
I also use a shiatsu, kneading back cushion massager, which I love. That doesn't bother my pacer either.

If your pacemaker has the rate response function turned on be aware of the effect of vibration on it. The rate response senses the movement of your body and adjusts the paced HR from it. It will sense the vibrations of the massager and increase your HR. Before I had rate response turned off on my pacer the jets in my hot tub on my upper back would drive my heart rate to the upper limit. This is different than the magnet effect.

I forgot that I had my rate response function turned down lower for another reason last year. So I may have had problems with the massagers if that hadn;t been done.
I'm forgeting everything these days...Can I blame the pacemaker for that? Or am I just having senior moments? LOL
Anyway, just wanted to clarify my earlier comment on this issue.
