Bongers are traditional massage tools all over the Orient. They're good for breaking down muscle tension and stimulating circulation. Most everyone stores tension in their neck and shoulders, and Bongers are just about always effective there. However, they feel good all over (but don't hit the kidneys!), giving an invigorating, Shiatsu-like massage. Their flexible shafts do all the work, allowing the masseur/se to BONG indefinitely without effort.
How do Bongers work?
Back Pain The scientific name for Bongers' percussion-like massage is tapotement. We prefer to explain it as the same principle as tenderizing meat. Most back pains are caused by over-worked muscles which contract suddenly (spasm), turning hard and knotty. This constricts the blood vessels that bring oxygen to the muscles and carry waste from them. Muscle-cells start dying. You feel pain. That pain is your body crying, HELP! BONG ME!
Headaches Nine out of ten headaches are caused by tight neck muscles. BONG the neck gently on both sides of the spine for 30-60 seconds and watch headaches disappear!
Cellulite Doctors say there's no such thing. Ask any woman over 30 and she'll tell you different! Both are right, actually: that cottage cheese effect comes simply from clogged capillaries that don't let blood circulate through them any more. As a local circulation agent, Bongers work even better than exercise (though they're certainly no substitute). They act like hydraulic pressurizers, forcing the blood back through.
For Fun BONG your friends and lovers; BONG yourself. After work or a workout, BONG the bottoms of your feet, your pectorals, your leg muscles, wherever it's sore. It's fun to close your eyes, put on some music and BONG your head - watch the pictures flow!

I bought these years ago after I'd read some industry type say that she uses them on Christina Aguilera and how wonderful they are. My family is obsessed with these and yes you do have to sort of get the correct rhythm going. One of my friends I recommended them to bought them and said her, her husband and her teenage son fight over them; many of my visiting family members have also bought themselves a pair after trying mine out. Such a good feeling! As far as people saying they hurt, what are you doing with them?!? I'm very sensitive and very much a wuss for all things painful and I find Bongers to be nothing but enjoyable!

This is the biggest waste of money. After many tries, I still can't figure out what is the supposed great benefit of Bongers. They hurt even when using them lightly, they are awkward to use, and they leave a most awful burnt rubber smell on your skin and clothes. Ancient Oriental Massage? More like a strange concoction of dog toys and bits and pieces from a hardware store. This was a HUGE disappointment and waste of time and money.

I bought these on a whim after reading another reviewer talk about how she bought them for her boyfriend who's had a car wreck and has metal plates now... Because my husband's story is almost exactly the same and I can't get all the knots out of his shoulders/back with my hands.So I figured I'd get them as a present for hubby at Christmas, if nothing else, as a funny gift. But everyone in our house loves to use them! My husband loves them b/c they really do help with all his tense muscles and the knots in his back. I love them b/c they help get rid of the tension in my shoulders and neck. I wish we'd come across these things a lot sooner b/c they are great!The only downside to them is that they make me a little nervous about the way they're constructed-like they might not last years and years. But since they're only about $22.50 it's not that bad. But I wouldn't pay more than this for this kind of quality. Other than that, they're awesome!

The device isn't particularly comfortable to use, I personally love it, but some people find it uncomfortable, however, the effect is amazing. It's not like a standard massage, but when used properly it really helps your muscles relax. I bought it for my girlfriend to use on me, because she does not have the hand strength to massage me for long, but this device eliminates the problem. You can also use it on yourself, I use it on my neck, shoulders, traps, and between my shoulder blades. After a minute or so of use, I can feel the tension leaving my muscles. Definitely worth the price, even if it doesn't work, you're only out $20 or so. I'd highly advise it to anyone with a tense neck or back, or with knots. Cheers.

I suffer from fibro and bursitis that causes very painful knots in back, legs, arms, neck, ect. This are great at working out knots, and getting circulation going again. Relieves pain without taking a pill that may have unwelcome side effects. These are awesome, and you don't need to be a professional massage therapist to use them.

I use these for the tension in my neck when sitting at the computer. I saw them over 10 years ago but could never find them. I saw them offered at another site but they cost a lot more. When I shopped around, this was the best price. One of mine was broken, the collar came off, but I repaired it myself. Very happy I got them.

First the bad news. The metal rings on both the handles of both Bongers were loose, completely off [...] Easy repair job with the right adhesive. Ball material slightly gouged. Had there been no minor flaws I would have given them 5 stars!No big problem. Now the good news.THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!, I healed a painful shin splint very quickly say 2 days.Very relaxing too. I went a 3 plus mile hike this weekend, I brought along my pair of Bongers . I bonged both before and after my hike.Felt great and I really had a spring in my step both before and after my hike. If you can overlook some very minor flaws, I urge you to buy a pair. Walker or not you simply won't regret it!
Anyone can learn to BONG in about 5 seconds. The secret is in the grip. Don't hold the Bongers just by the handles; place your thumbs or forefingers up on the flexible shafts. That way the shafts still do all the work, but you have better control and can make the Bongers go faster. (Holding them by the handles is good for the bottoms of your feet, which like hard BONGING, or if you're a small person working on a huge back.)
Practice by bouncing one on your arm. Feel good? Now you're ready to BONG your upper back. Just keep on bouncing, and walk the Bonger up over your shoulder. It's best to do your upper back this way, crossing over your chest to the opposite shoulder: it gives you the best angle, and the shoulder being BONGED is relaxed.
You can even BONG your lower back. Take both the Bongers and place your thumbs on the shafts. Turn them so the balls are facing out. Now reach behind yourself and bend forward. Your thumbs are between the shafts and your body, right? OK, BONG away!
Of course, it's more fun to BONG someone else. If your weak hand can't keep the rhythm at first, BONG with both hands at once. It feels just as good to the BONGEE, and your weak hand will naturally keep pace. Over time your rhythm will improve, but rhythm isn't important to the BONGEE - s/he just wants to feel the beat.
Most men, and many women, like to be BONGED fairly hard. But some backs are very tender. Start off slowly, and build up till the BONGEE says Whoa.
