History of Bongers
In ancient Japan, elders worked long hours in the rice fields, straining their backs while harvesting. Too tired to massage themselves, they relied on their grandchildren for relief. The children, with their small hands, would use percussive techniques like cupping and chopping to massage the muscles, creating what came to be known as Magono-Te, or “grandchild’s hands.” This ancient practice evolved into the use of Bongers, tools designed to replicate this percussive massage technique.
Why Use Bongers?
Bongers have been embraced by luxury spas, professional massage therapists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, acupressure specialists, and chiropractors. But you don’t need to visit a professional to enjoy the same relief—Bongers make it easy to get a deep, relaxing massage right at home.
Massaging with your hands and fingers can lead to discomfort and fatigue, but Bongers eliminate that stress, allowing you to give long, effective massages pain-free. The use of Bongers is also fun and rhythmic, similar to drumming, and makes for an enjoyable activity for anyone, even musicians looking for an excuse to practice their rhythm skills.
The Experience
People describe their first experience with Bongers as feeling like they are under a soothing waterfall. It’s a calming, refreshing sensation—just one session, and you’ll be hooked! Bongers also make fantastic gifts for all occasions, whether it's a birthday, anniversary, housewarming, or just because.
No matter the position—lying down, sitting, or standing—Bongers offer a versatile, satisfying massage experience for everyone.
