My dear gamer friends, are your backs aching after carrying your squad in your favourite multiplayer game? I hate to tell you this, but it's far more likely that the reason for your back pain has to do with your posture and sitting habits, rather than your in-game talents. Regardless of whether you play games on the couch or in one of the best gaming chairs, we all carry tension, we all slouch, we all have sitting habits that aren't the best for us, so what's the solution?
For the last few weeks, I've been trying out a muscle gun (also referred to as a massage gun, or Theragun). As someone who always manages to get knots in their right shoulder and upper back, I've been keen to try one of these out for ages, but since I also make a living reviewing the ergonomics of gaming chairs and talking about healthy posture, I thought this might be a weirdly appropriate accessory for me to test out.
