Slouched? Hunched? Achy? Straighten up with percussive therapy protocols designed for desk workers.
A break from your screen is never a bad thing. Spending some self-care moments away from your desk can keep your productivity levels high and energy levels stable. Not only does using your massage gun get you away from your computer, but it can instill a sense of relief and relaxation to revitalize you for the rest of your day.
A common plague among desk workers, poor posture leads to pain in the neck, back, and shoulders. These aches can leave you spending more time thinking about pain than working on important tasks. Luckily, regular massage is shown to reduce muscle knots and tightness, which allows you to stretch out and straighten up.
Desk workers often struggle with poor circulation in the lower body, leading to swollen knees, calves, ankles, and feet. Percussive therapy can combat circulation issues by promoting blood flow at regular intervals and preventing fluid buildup.
This comprehensive, step-by-step routine sets you up for a productive and pain-free work day.
Start your morning off on the right foot. Keep our most portable massage gun on your bedside table and reach for that — not your cell phone — when your eyes open.
Be proactive: Spend two minutes on each muscle group that typically gives you problems throughout the day. Consider it preventative percussive therapy — your body will thank you (and your massage gun).
Time for a break! By now, your belly and your muscles are yearning for some attention. While you wait for your food to cook, try this quick percussive therapy protocol to shake out midday aches.
Instead of hunching over your phone while food’s in the microwave, grab your B37S and do a quick sweep of your glutes, hips, calves, and lower back to stave off stiffness and fluid buildup later in the day.
At this point in the workday, your muscles might require a little extra oomph. Grab our most powerful massage gun to re-energize so you can win the rest of the workday.
If you’re like most desk workers, you’re familiar with the massive slump that strikes around 2 or 3 p.m. Beat the slump by using the B37S at the highest speed on your achiest areas. For most desk workers, shoulders, upper back, and hips require the most attention.
Finally, time to relax. Before your evening obligations, celebrate the end of another productive day with a few moments of massage zen. Just you, your muscles, and your favorite recovery tool.
Target your back and neck with the specialized fork attachment, which is designed to reach the trouble spots most office workers struggle with. Spend two to three minutes massaging your neck and trapezius muscles before moving to your lower back.
Getting a nightly massage to help you sleep isn’t a pipe dream. With BANTAM at your bedside, you can enjoy a massage every night (and enjoy more restful sleep, too).
Use BANTAM at its middle speed for a wave of calm and comfort at the end of a long day. We recommend massaging your hip flexors, chest, and shoulders to undo eight hours of sitting and prime your body for bed.
