That $5 scalp massager from the beauty supply saved my wrists

Been using one for the last month after 3 years of hand fatigue from scrubbing in shampoo, and it cuts my washing time by half. Has anyone else tried a small tool like that to save your hands from strain?

Massage tools really do make a difference when your hands start giving out on you. I had tendonitis from years of detailing cars and a little shower brush saved me from giving up work entirely. It is wild how something so cheap can turn things around when you are in that much pain. Did you ever think you would be this happy over a five dollar gadget? Hope your wrists keep feeling better with it.

Got to be honest, I think people are way too quick to jump on these gadgets before they really know what's wrong. A cheap massage tool can do more harm than good if you're using it on the wrong spot or too aggressively. I've seen folks make their tendonitis way worse by just pressing too hard with a little plastic thing, thinking it's helping when it's actually inflaming things more. Sometimes a simple ice pack and proper rest beats any five dollar fix, especially if you haven't seen a doctor yet. Just my take, but I'd rather be safe than sorry with something that can mess up your hands for good.
