NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION – HOW ARMWUNDER CAME TO LIFE
Hello, I’m Jan – developer, manufacturer and probably also the inventor of one of the most unusual “torture devices” people voluntarily order. 😊
Of course, Armwunder is not really a torture device. But because the massage pressure can be adjusted to feel more intensive, this affectionate nickname soon emerged.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
In 2019 and 2020, I experienced severe tennis elbow symptoms. At times, even holding a coffee cup was difficult, and playing golf was completely out of the question.
My arm muscles felt extremely tense and painful. I visited doctors and therapists and tried various approaches, but unfortunately without the result I had hoped for.
My therapist showed me exercises using foam rollers and massage balls. The massage itself felt good, but using the rollers against a wall or on a table was awkward. They slipped, the position was uncomfortable, and the wall was left with marks.
And let’s be honest: when something is inconvenient, we usually do it far too rarely.
THERE HAD TO BE AN EASIER WAY
So I started experimenting in my basement. For months, I sawed, drilled, assembled, tested and improved.
That is how Armwunder was eventually created.
Today, thousands of Armwunder devices have been sold, making it easier to massage the forearm and upper-arm muscles comfortably while seated – without having to create constant pressure with your free hand.
You guide your arm between the two opposing massage elements and control the speed and intensity yourself. The massage pressure acts from both sides and can be adjusted individually using the two stainless-steel knurled nuts.
From a gentle feel-good massage to a more intensive trigger-point massage, many different settings are possible. You decide how firm the massage feels – making you your own “torturer”. 😊
