While self-help tools and massagers cannot replace the therapeutic touch of a skilled practitioner in the field they can be very beneficial at home. Anyone with specific health conditions should seek advice from his primary care physician before purchasing massage tools. 

Bodywork practitioners and massage therapists can recommend tools for specific trouble areas: the back, the feet, or the shoulders for example. You can get to know about the best self-massage tools via https://www.strykerecovery.com.au/.
