Bongers. If you have not tried them you can not believe how effective they are.

What are Bongers?  Bongers are traditional Japanese massage tools that are good for breaking down muscle tension, stimulating circulation. The scientific name for Bongers' percussion-like massage is tapotement. How does it work? Kind of  like tenderizing meat.

 They look  like a rubber ball attached to a metal tongue depressor set into a jump-rope handle. Pictured below.

Essentially, you use Bongers as if you were playing the xylophone on a person’s body. Warning: Do not Bong anyone in the kidneys! (Your kidneys are at waist level more or less under your arms, but more rear than forward.) The vibrating metal tongue depressor does the real work. So the Bongee gets an invigorating Shiatsu-type massage while the Bonger doesn’t get tired out.

It takes about five seconds to learn how to Bong: children about age 3 can learn how to Bong in five minutes. Practice will improve your rhythm, but rhythm isn’t actually important.

Bonging is not an exercise, mind you, and probably will never be recognized by either the Olympic Committee or Elizabeth Arden. Bongers are a relatively inexpensive way to have fun and to give a friend (or even yourself) a break from tight muscles. While you can give a basic hand massage without spending a dime, it can be awkward to perform on strangers, mere acquaintances or office chums and you certainly can’t have a massage with your clothes on. But you can Bong while dressed.

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!

In fact, keeping a set of Bongers in the office to relieve shoulder and neck pain after scrunching over a desk for several hours is a really good idea.

Bongers come with cartoon instructions, and printed on each shaft are cartoon health claims: “Put oomph in sluggish blood. Smash evil cellulite (a beauty problem unknown in the heyday of Dr. Scholl). Give your/your partner’s body paroxysms of unbridled   ecstasy.” This hopeful list generally inspires hoots of unbridled laughter--another ancient Oriental technique for dealing with sluggish blood.
