Percussive Massage Gun Holder to Reach Back (Powder Coated Black)

I don’t write reviews very often but the BackBadger is definitely worth writing about. The device itself is a lifesaver in terms of my chronic pain management self-care. I definitely recommend it without hesitation. For those wondering how this tool is worth the expense, I was skeptical too. I already had a massage gun with an extended handle that can reach the middle of my back, so why spend more money to use my massage gun that already gets too heavy/difficult/painful for me to use for more than a minute or two on my back? Especially since strapping extra metal to the massage gun would only make it heavier & more burdensome for me to use? The reason is this: once you figure out how to best use the BackBadger with your massage gun (how to hold/balance/move/etc it) on yourself, the entire thing ends up seeming to weigh less in your hands while you’re holding it & using it. Which means, you can use your massage gun on your back or hard to reach places for longer periods of time with much less/no strain or exertion bc your hands are holding the BackBadger in front of you & an arm is braced against your body, distributing the whole weight, allowing you to pivot/hold/balance the device & massage gun w relative ease. You no longer need to strain & keep up the effort to continue and hold the massage gun up while you’re using it. That’s huge for someone like me with chronic pain & chronic fatigue. It makes all the difference in being able to actually do a back massage on myself every day versus only when I’m able to and absolutely need to, and even then I’d probably need to ask someone for help. I would know - I have 5 different massage gun types of devices & I’ve never been able to do as much self-help massage therapy as I’ve wanted/needed to. Until now — because of the BackBadger. Note on the quality of the device: incredible. I’m using v3 with the silicone sleeves - and I have no complaints whatsoever. The company has taken a lot of effort to make a sturdy, premium product that feels good & safe to use in your hands. I hope to be using this BackBadger forever. Also, for anyone who has used a Theracane or similar trigger point self-help tool, this is like that but way better because with a massage gun, you don’t have to do any continuous effort of pulling/massaging movement to get relief. You just turn your massager on, bring the BackBadger up/around/etc and just hold it in place until you want to move it etc. Being able to use my massage gun by myself all along my back & everywhere else without having to rely on someone else helping me - it’s a hugely empowering thing in my life. Not to mention how much of a help it’s been & will be to my chronic pain management self-care. So, thank you to the wonderful genius makers of this device for sharing your invention with the world!! Which reminds me, the customer service from this small two-person company has been unparalleled. I’ve never felt this taken care of by a company selling healthcare/wellness products before - thank you, Emily! So, for anyone thinking about getting the BackBadger to help them with pain relief via massage therapy, this is a no-brainer decision. The BackBadger + a massage gun = best decision you can make to enable you to massage yourself whenever you want/need, even with severe chronic pain & fatigue. — updated 3/1/24 with pic — Still loving using my BackBadger every day! Everyone in my family also bought their own BB too, it’s that good! I used the DIY tire wrap fix (thanks fellow reviewer!) around my Theragun for months before the minds behind BackBadger came out with their own Grip Wrap. The BackBadger Grip Wrap was much easier & faster to put on than the smelly cut tire. Overall it’s a better solution to the rotating issue for a reasonable price — check it out for your massage gun handle! Oh, also, pro tip: you can definitely use the BackBadger while sitting on a chair or stool to great effect with minimal effort! The only part you won't be able to reach is the part of you sitting 😅

Box was opened and resealed Big and cumbersome Not holding massage gun well Overall- Avoid better options

What a product, absolutely incredible. I want to give this 10 stars out of 5. I came across the BackBadger purely by chance, but I'm very glad I did. This has been an amazing self-care tool - it allows me to manage muscle spasms and allows me to get significant pain reduction in between physio and massage appointments, at home, on my own, with very little effort. I had a massage gun for quite some time, but like most people, I found it very difficult to use on my own, and most of my back was out of reach. I had looked into wall mounts - I tried two brands, both were useless. I ended up using my massage gun much less frequently than I needed, because I was only able to treat a third of the muscle groups I needed to - and it was still difficult to do so. With the BackBadger, I'm able to sit down, stand, lay down, kneel - and still be able to use my massage gun effectively, which is absolutely amazing. It's not heavy, and while it looks a bit awkward to use, it's actually not. A couple minutes of trial and error and I figured out how to leverage it perfectly. Since buying the BackBadger, I've been using it every single day - in combination with my massage gun. And since I'm now using my massage gun every day, I've seen a significant increase in my mobility and a decrease in my pain. Amazing. I really can't say enough about this product. I know a lot of people will scoff at "lifechanging" but for those who battle chronic pain and muscle dysfunction - especially in their back, neck and shoulders - that's exactly what this is - lifechanging. I'm able to independently manage my own treatment, and that's huge. Is this slightly pricey? Yes. But think about it in terms of cost-per-use. If this is something you use once and put away forever, it's expensive. However, this is likely a product that you'll use frequently - I use it daily. And if it's used daily - for weeks, months, years - then the price is easily justified. The product is exceptionally well-built, the people behind the Back Badger are a very small company, but they have been amazing in terms of customer service and communication - this product is definitely worth it. If you're on the fence about buying this... take the chance. I have no regrets whatsoever. Hint: get the grip wrap, especially if you have larger hands. The wrap can be used not only for the handle of the massage gun, but to wrap around the handle of the Back Badger itself where you hold it most often. (I suggest registering your BackBadger, too)

Thank you 🙏

Good excellent purchase. It really works. Heavy duty design for your back.
