How to
BONG
Anyone can
learn to BONG in about 5 seconds. The secret is in the grip. Don't hold
the BONGERS just by the handles; place your thumbs or forefingers
up on the flexible shafts.
That way the shafts still do all the work, but you have better control and can make the BONGERS go
faster (holding them by the handles is good for the bottoms of your
feet, however, which like hard BONGING; or if you are a small person working on a huge
back).
Practice
by bouncing one on your arm. Feel good? Now you're ready to BONG
your upper back. Just keep
on bouncing, and walk the BONGER up over your shoulder. It is best to do your upper back this way,
crossing over your chest to the opposite shoulder: it gives you the best angle, and the
shoulder being BONGED is relaxed.
You can
even BONG your lower back. Take both the BONGERS and place thumbs
on the shafts. Turn
them so the balls are facing out. Now reach behind, yourself and bend
forward. Your thumbs are between the shafts and your body, right? OK,
BONG away!!!
Of course,
it's more fun to BONG someone else. If your weak hand can't keep
the rhythm at first, BONG
with both hands at once. It feels just as good to the BONGEE,
and your weak hand will
naturally keep pace. Over time your rhythm will improve, but rhythm isn't important to the BONGEE -
she/he wants to feel the beat.
Most men,
and many women, like to be BONGED fairly hard. But some backs are very tender. Start off
slowly, and build up till the BONGEE says "Whoa. . ."
HOW DO
BONGERS WORK?
For Sore
Muscles, Headaches, Poor Circulation, Cellulite
BONGERS are traditional
massage tools used all over the Orient. They are good for breaking down muscle tension and stimulating
circulation. Almost
everyone stores tension in their neck and shoulders- BONGERS
are just about always
effective in that area. However, BONGERS feel good all over (but don't hit the kidneys! - see diagram).
They give an
invigorating, Shiatsu-like massage. Their flexible shafts do all the
work, allowing the
masseur/se to BONG indefinitely without effort.
BACK PAIN:
The scientific name for
the 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 to 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!
Actually, both are right;
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 are certainly no substitute for physical
activity). They act like
hydraulic pressurizes, 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, whenever
it's sore. It's fun to close your eyes, put on some music
and BONG your head - watch
the pictures flow!!
