in my lineage of wing chun i've been taught some pressure point massages that really help. however with sore hands/tendons it makes it near impossible to massage my wrists, hands, shoulders etc without causing further pain. any devices/tools for massaging pressure points that are not gimmics? often i slap instead, which helps but doesnt seem to help my hands as much as the massage (circular massage, for 9 breaths)
How do you normally massage or what would you like to use? A nice hard tennis ball works wonders. Just rest your weight on it and move around until you get the right area. There are specific devices out there for this but a tennis ball will do the job just as good inmost cases. For massages areas of your hands and or arms where you would normally use your fingers just get a pen or something similar with a rounded cap and use that. I've got a sharpie pen in front of me that looks like it'll do the job well.
hmm i'd like to find something a bit more sophisticated but good ideas! rub, with your thumb in a circular motion: back of wrist, wrist, between thumb/finger, forearm, tricepish area, back of shoulder/neck -9 breath cycles
The trouble is the specialty products tend to be quite expensive. But saying that have a look at the body spanner. http://www.smrt.com.au/index.asp
