Today in stores you can find a huge variety of different models of back massagers. Among them there are both the simplest and the most expensive models with many additional functions. Let's take a closer look at different types of modern back massage devices.
Manual
Mechanical models have long been very popular. They are quite inexpensive, presented in a wide range. The handheld massager can be made of rubberized material, durable plastic. But the wooden specimen is especially popular. Wood models are much more common than their plastic counterparts.

Manual back massagers are extremely simple and straightforward to operate. Most often it is a roller device that is operated by hand. With such products, you can easily disperse the blood. The downside of such specimens is that massaging certain zones with them takes a very long time, requires extra strength. Too often, hand and belt massagers, after several uses, are sent to "live" on the top shelf of the cabinet, where they are very quickly forgotten.

More demanded universal specimens. Today, well-known manufacturers produce vibration, impulse, shock, magnetic and many other types of electric massagers.
