How about wearing a massage vest while walking around. The obvious thing is, it's weird. From experience, actually, the helmet may scrape the roof of your car.
Are there any good massage clothing? The cochrane review on spinal manipulation says it's not better than exercise therapy or massage for chronic lower back pain. Massage costs add up, so I'm wondering what some good options are. Suppose I can solve my 'I'm cold' problem and 'I want a massage problem at once' without adding a 'where do I store this massage item' problem since I already have a wardrobe for clothes. Also, items of clothing which may prompt people to volunteer massages for me are good too. And general tips for getting free massages. I looked for massage swaps online and only found scam pay sites. Suprised there isn't a Tindr for Massages.
It's not as if technological massage solutions don't work. There is evidence some do. The rest haven't been evaluated. I can only find massage vest for areas other than lower back.
All this is suprising given back pain is a major problem. It's not suprising given the disorder of the field, starting from the academics themselves. Even the relevant Cochrane Group doesn't seem to have its affairs in order. Why are there seperate reviews, published on the same day, by the same Primary Review Group, for Back Schools for Non-Specific Low-Back Pain and more broadly.
If you want massage exchanges the straightforward way is to take a massage course. Talk with the people that attend it. Set up meetings to exchange messages.
