Does Back Pain get worse or hurt more after a session on a Shiatsu Massage cushion?
i just bought a Homedics shiatsu massage cushion and had a 30 minute session with heat, vibrating focusing ont he lower back. i’ve had intense lower back pain due to stress and knotted muscles in the lower back for 3 years now and i’m only 20 years old.
it’s been about an hour since my session and now I am sitting at work and the pain is outrageous and it is killing me. the pain is way more than what I normally experience. I once heard that shiatsu is supposed to hurt more immediately following the session but I cannot find any back up info. on this on the Internet and was wondering if others from yahooanswers could help me explain why I am feeling this pain.
One explanation could be that you irritated previous knots or “trigger points” within your muscles. Sometimes your muscles can get so tight and remain that way for so long they actually impinge upon a nerve and cause it to go to sleep. Sometimes a massage can loosen that muscles just enough to wake the nerve back up and cause much more pain then the original pain you were trying to treat. Also, if you have a knot or Trigger Point and work on it and don’t actually get rid of it, this can cause additional pain because all you did was irritate the spot instead of correct it. Plus those machines don’t work very well for actual therapeutic work IE: relieving pain. They’re just a temporary way to feel good and relax. If you’re really having issues, which it seems you do, you should make an appointment with a licensed professional. Trust me on this one.

Homedics Shiatsu Massage Cushion SBM700H vs SBM600H vs SBM500H?
Which model do you think is the best?
I haven’t tried the 700H ‘total coverage’ but it does sound very good.
the 600H is spot on.
the 500H is OK, the shoulder massage isn’t very strong.
Probably the SBM700H.
