BackBadger Percussive Massage Gun Holder for Back Ergonomic Handle, Black

I don’t write reviews very often but the BackBadger is definitely worth writing about. The device itself is a lifesaver in terms of my chronic pain management self-care. I definitely recommend it without hesitation. For those wondering how this tool is worth the expense, I was skeptical too. I already had a massage gun with an extended handle that can reach the middle of my back, so why spend more money to use my massage gun that already gets too heavy/difficult/painful for me to use for more than a minute or two on my back? Especially since strapping extra metal to the massage gun would only make it heavier & more burdensome for me to use? The reason is this: once you figure out how to best use the BackBadger with your massage gun (how to hold/balance/move/etc it) on yourself, the entire thing ends up seeming to weigh less in your hands while you’re holding it & using it. Which means, you can use your massage gun on your back or hard to reach places for longer periods of time with much less/no strain or exertion bc your hands are holding the BackBadger in front of you & an arm is braced against your body, distributing the whole weight, allowing you to pivot/hold/balance the device & massage gun w relative ease. You no longer need to strain & keep up the effort to continue and hold the massage gun up while you’re using it. That’s huge for someone like me with chronic pain & chronic fatigue. It makes all the difference in being able to actually do a back massage on myself every day versus only when I’m able to and absolutely need to, and even then I’d probably need to ask someone for help. I would know - I have 5 different massage gun types of devices & I’ve never been able to do as much self-help massage therapy as I’ve wanted/needed to. Until now — because of the BackBadger. Note on the quality of the device: incredible. I’m using v3 with the silicone sleeves - and I have no complaints whatsoever. The company has taken a lot of effort to make a sturdy, premium product that feels good & safe to use in your hands. I hope to be using this BackBadger forever. Also, for anyone who has used a Theracane or similar trigger point self-help tool, this is like that but way better because with a massage gun, you don’t have to do any continuous effort of pulling/massaging movement to get relief. You just turn your massager on, bring the BackBadger up/around/etc and just hold it in place until you want to move it etc. Being able to use my massage gun by myself all along my back & everywhere else without having to rely on someone else helping me - it’s a hugely empowering thing in my life. Not to mention how much of a help it’s been & will be to my chronic pain management self-care. So, thank you to the wonderful genius makers of this device for sharing your invention with the world!! Which reminds me, the customer service from this small two-person company has been unparalleled. I’ve never felt this taken care of by a company selling healthcare/wellness products before - thank you, Emily! So, for anyone thinking about getting the BackBadger to help them with pain relief via massage therapy, this is a no-brainer decision. The BackBadger + a massage gun = best decision you can make to enable you to massage yourself whenever you want/need, even with severe chronic pain & fatigue. — updated 3/1/24 with pic — Still loving using my BackBadger every day! Everyone in my family also bought their own BB too, it’s that good! I used the DIY tire wrap fix (thanks fellow reviewer!) around my Theragun for months before the minds behind BackBadger came out with their own Grip Wrap. The BackBadger Grip Wrap was much easier & faster to put on than the smelly cut tire. Overall it’s a better solution to the rotating issue for a reasonable price — check it out for your massage gun handle! Oh, also, pro tip: you can definitely use the BackBadger while sitting on a chair or stool to great effect with minimal effort! The only part you won't be able to reach is the part of you sitting 😅

Although I've only used the BackBadger for 1 day, I can safely say that I LOVE this thing! When I first clamped massage gun to it, there was too much wobble, so I wrapped the handle with self adhesive stretchy tape and re-clamped it. That's all it needed to be held firmly with no wobble. The ergonomics work perfectly for me at 6' 195 lbs even with arthritic thumbs. Consult the included pics of how to use it, otherwise you'll be fumbling around trying to get the best grip on it.

First. I love this tool. Thank you for making it. Also...the tool has rubber sleeves in the overlapping joints. The theragun makes more noise than the backbadger. This backbadger appears to be upgraded after other videos I saw. This is a must if you back pain and you live alone... or if people are getting tired of using the massage gun on you. I like being able to control the angle and pressure of the massager. I prefer to use the massager myself rather than have a significant other try to carry out my instructions. Love the autonomy the backbadger has given me to remove the chronic pain that I often wake up with. I wish I would have got this setup sooner I read a review that some consumers had trouble attaching the backbadger to the theragun. Upon getting the backbadger I took it to best buy to see which massager would function with it. I too struggled to get the handle to sufficiently tighten to prevent drift. I use a lot of pressure to address my situation. massages hurt, but bust the spasms and give me relief afterward. With the pressure my massage therapist uses, the theragun rolled left and right. We tried the hypervolt and it was held fast. We decided the difference was likely the smaller handle on the theragun. We wrapped a small cloth around the handle and it spun around worse. As we were trying to devise a way to increase the diameter to improve the grip of the back badger to the theragun. We both agreed that a rubber wrap would be a likely successful choice. I suggested a bicycle innertube. I ordered a wide bicycle tube from Amazon. I am glad I tried to adapt the theragun to the backbadger. It was worth it. In my own opinion... and those at best buy, the theragun is one of the superior massage gun as far as amplitude 16mm and stall force (60lbs). People like me with deep chronic backpain benefit from increased travel (amplitude) and stronger internal motor that allows the massager to be pressed forcefully into spasming muscles the break the spasms. The theragun pro was what I wanted for my situation, yet some reviews note that it is not capable of hooking to the theragun due to its smaller handle size. A 3.5-4" wide fat bicycle tire did the trick. Ordered from Amazon 1Cut across the inner tube a few inches away from valve stem. 2 open innertube refold the innertube to give it maximal width without circular drift. ( this allows the innertube to be straightly wrapped on the handle without drifting up the handle) 3. I tightly wrapped the innertube 3-4 time around the handed 4. Use the ratcheting straps to connect to handle I have used 3 full batteries without having drift in the handle. All the gauges are visible I am so happy with my decision. Maybe a piece of 4" wide rubber (12-18 inches long) could be added to this kit to make it more adaptable for massager with smaller handles. If you have a favorite massager and it dances in the back badger... I found success with a bicycle inner tube to increase handle width I also wrapped a piece of gorilla duct tape on top and bottom. Kept the theragun even more secure and allowed easy airport transit. Just a side note. The theragun pro, which is an amazing complimentary tool for the backbadger. If the batteries stop working, the batteries are fine. The adaptor is faulty and buy an aftermarket one for $20. The aftermarket was more reliable than the original. I still have no regrets with this setup.

I almost returned this because the massager that I used seem to slip and wouldn't stay straight. I realize that the reason why it was slipping was because of the oil on my hands got on handle which caused it to slip. After realizing what was going on I cleaned it reattached it, and it works like a charm. This is one of the best investments I've made in a while. I still think it's a little pricey at $90 that's why I'm giving it four stars, but other than that it's a great tool.

I probably looked at this a dozen times before I bought it because, well, it seemed a bit expensive for something so simple. But after I had surgery on my arm and my shoulder was in agony from the arm sling I knew I needed to try it. Once I got it I realized that it was totally worth the price. you can tell immediately that they thought through the design perfectly. Its not just a long extension stick to reach your back with a massager - once you hold it and use it you can see that every curve was perfectly designed. Not only does it reach every area of my back, but the handle design with the curves distributes the weight perfectly, so that I can hold the middle section with my "good" arm, and guide it with near zero difficulty with my post-surgery arm in the sling - literally can guide it with a couple fingers to just the right spot and get a perfect massage. I had previously purchased a "mount" for my massager that connects to a door jam - and while that worked for a pin-point massage on my back - trying to massage anything else required me to either squat or move around relative to the door jam - that was awful - but this thing I can use while sitting at my computer. I love it!!!!

Since purchasing and using the Ninefold Design BackBadger Percussive Massage Gun Holder, I can personally, positively, attest to the superior quality and design of this device. With great expectations I attached this extension to our Lifepro Sonic percussion massage gun. Initially, while using it with quite a bit of force, the Sonic was able to twist in the mount. The last time it came loose, I positioned the straps further up on the handle. (The upper strap is still about 1" from the button switch to turn the Sonic gun on.) By then, I had also watched both videos and subsequently further tightened the latches. I was able to get 1 or 2 more clicks on each strap. So I'm not so sure now that moving the straps higher up on the handle was necessary. (After watching the 2nd video again, per Emily's instruction, I tightened the straps without worrying about breaking them.) The percussion massage guns have been useful for the temporary relief of nerve pain. But the massage guns are heavy and have limited reach. Since attaching this BackBadger extension, I can now more easily reach more areas and with much less fatigue. These massage guns can get heavy, especially with prolonged use. But with the extension attached, it becomes possible to balance the weight of the massage gun. After reading many of the reviews before making the purchase. I decided to try it for myself. That's what I would recommend to anyone who benefits from using a percussion type massage gun. Try it for yourself. I wish I had found it sooner.

I am a huge fan of different massaging devices and these massage guns are hands down, one of my favorites. I own LifePro Sonic Handheld Percussion Massage Gun that comes with a rectangular handle, instead of those round ones you see in other models. Well, as you can see in the pictures, I put my massage gun in the holster in a way that it would hit my back at a right angle with the handle in my hands. The problem is as soon as I start pushing down on the area I want to massage, the handle doesn't stay in that angle and slides out of the holster. Only way I can use this is to place the massage gun in an angle so that it flares out and at that point, it's very inconvenient to use. I can see this working very well for someone who has those round handles, not the rectangular one. The seller really should update its compatibility picture and the verbiage around it to ensure that Sonic Massage Gun owners don't buy a product that's not fully compatible. To be fair to the seller, I will leave this review & send a ticket to them and wait a week to see if I am missing something before returning it. If I don't hear from them, please read my review SONIC MASSAGE GUN OWNERS! UPDATE: got a response from the seller. They recommended I wrap my massaging around a mouse pad or biker tire inner tube, so it holds. What a joke. I would've said OK, if this was a $20 tool. You don't falsely advertise something for $130 and tell the buyer that. What a disappointment.

I have arthritis in my shoulders and hips. It's not the best lol, the theragun G3 helped to provide some relief. There were still those hard to get spots. This apparatus seems like a godsend. After maybe the fifth time, literally the fifth time, of putting the G3 into the clasps, they broke. Both of them. So, if you plan on having whatever massage gun you use in the clasp's permanently look no further. If you want to take your massage gun out at all, look somewhere else. I will be plain, I am out of my return window and I am hoping that my review will help me. This product is awesome when it works. But when both clasps break after five uses, the product is quite frankly garbage. If the manufacturer, or seller, wishes to make amends please contact me. If not, I stand by my previous statements. If you wish to have your massage gun strapped into this apparatus full time, it's fantastic. If you wish to take your massage gun in and out of this apparatus, look somewhere else. It will break incredibly soon after you buy it.

Box was opened and resealed Big and cumbersome Not holding massage gun well Overall- Avoid better options

What a product, absolutely incredible. I want to give this 10 stars out of 5. I came across the BackBadger purely by chance, but I'm very glad I did. This has been an amazing self-care tool - it allows me to manage muscle spasms and allows me to get significant pain reduction in between physio and massage appointments, at home, on my own, with very little effort. I had a massage gun for quite some time, but like most people, I found it very difficult to use on my own, and most of my back was out of reach. I had looked into wall mounts - I tried two brands, both were useless. I ended up using my massage gun much less frequently than I needed, because I was only able to treat a third of the muscle groups I needed to - and it was still difficult to do so. With the BackBadger, I'm able to sit down, stand, lay down, kneel - and still be able to use my massage gun effectively, which is absolutely amazing. It's not heavy, and while it looks a bit awkward to use, it's actually not. A couple minutes of trial and error and I figured out how to leverage it perfectly. Since buying the BackBadger, I've been using it every single day - in combination with my massage gun. And since I'm now using my massage gun every day, I've seen a significant increase in my mobility and a decrease in my pain. Amazing. I really can't say enough about this product. I know a lot of people will scoff at "lifechanging" but for those who battle chronic pain and muscle dysfunction - especially in their back, neck and shoulders - that's exactly what this is - lifechanging. I'm able to independently manage my own treatment, and that's huge. Is this slightly pricey? Yes. But think about it in terms of cost-per-use. If this is something you use once and put away forever, it's expensive. However, this is likely a product that you'll use frequently - I use it daily. And if it's used daily - for weeks, months, years - then the price is easily justified. The product is exceptionally well-built, the people behind the Back Badger are a very small company, but they have been amazing in terms of customer service and communication - this product is definitely worth it. If you're on the fence about buying this... take the chance. I have no regrets whatsoever. Hint: get the grip wrap, especially if you have larger hands. The wrap can be used not only for the handle of the massage gun, but to wrap around the handle of the Back Badger itself where you hold it most often. (I suggest registering your BackBadger, too)

Thank you 🙏

Really well built, but extremely EXPENSIVE
