I think of these tools in terms of work ergonomics. You can have the best work station in the world, but if you're slouching in your ergonomically perfect chair for eight hours a day, you're going to have problems. The same is true with massage tools. If you're doing deep pressure, you may need to lower your table so you have enough distance to be able to transfer your body weight into the pressing tool.
