10 best neck and shoulder massagers

Certainly, massage of the cervical-collar zone is the best remedy for fatigue, headache, numbness in the hands and poor health. After this procedure, the passage of nerve impulses is accelerated and the blood circulation of all organs that are near the cervical vertebrae - the thyroid gland, the brain, the eyes, etc., improves. And most people do not mind pampering themselves with massages, if not for one problem - you do not run into a masseur , and it is extremely inconvenient to do them for yourself.

Where there is demand, there is always supply. Relatively recently, electric massagers for the neck and shoulders have appeared on the market, with the help of which you can conduct a session of mechanical massage at any convenient time and in a comfortable place. Using them regularly, you can achieve very impressive results:

• relieve pain and tightness in the neck;
• restore tone or, conversely, relax muscles;
• improve posture, increase performance;
• get rid of migraines and chronic fatigue;
• prevent or stop the development of osteochondrosis, hypertension, shoulder-blade arthrosis.

To acquire a family "masseur", an amount of about 1000 rubles is required. Even for little money, you can buy a reliable and effective massager with a roller or percussion type of action. However, in the popularity ratings, the leading places are occupied by models with a slightly higher price, but with more functionality - they have built-in IR heaters, there is automatic control, there are separate attachments for the face, neck, shoulders, etc.

To decide what kind of device you need, specify the tasks that he has to solve, and check out the rating of the best electrical devices. We compiled it taking into account user feedback, the intended effect of use, and the price-performance ratio. In the selection process, be careful: many massagers have a whole list of contraindications, and we do not recommend treating them lightly.

Best hand held massagers

The manual device is a design with one or more massage heads and a convenient holder. With such a massager, it is convenient to relieve spasm of muscle fibers that are tired after playing sports or due to a prolonged static position. Its main advantages are affordability and efficiency, close to the healing effect of classical massage. However, you do not need to flatter yourself - it will not help you lose weight, and the device itself must be handled carefully.

3 Dolphin AMG 6093 Gezatone

In appearance, this massager looks more like a child's toy, but at the same time it is a rather serious tool for improving well-being. It combines the function of vibration massage with heating by infrared lamps. The nature of the effect is regulated by the duration of the procedure, the intensity (there are two levels) and replaceable attachments: basic (for general massage), acupressure (for shiatsu massage), needle (for delicate working out of sensitive areas).

The product can be used to massage not only the neck or shoulders, but also the thighs, feet, arms, lower back. The length of the "dolphin" is enough to carry out a session of self-massage of the back. The reviews indicate that the greatest effect is obtained after a course of daily procedures lasting 10-15 minutes: lightness is felt in the neck, the shoulders relax, the skin tightens, and the muscles become more elastic. The manufacturer also claims the possibility of losing weight due to the splitting of the fatty layer, but we think that this is possible only with an integrated approach.

2 Beurer MG80

In classical massage, masters rarely use such a technique as vibration - this movement is too energy-intensive, and they quickly get tired of it.But with a manual massager from the well-known German company Beurer, you can massage the shoulders and neck area, as well as the chest, abdomen, back and, in general, the whole body, with high quality. The main work is performed by two attachments - they are located so that the load falls on the area along the spine, and not on the spinal column. This is noted in the reviews as an undeniable plus.

The device entered the rating of the best thanks to the smooth regulation of the degree of vibration, the thoughtfulness of the design, the power of the impact and the quality of the massage. The combination of vibration and heating turned out to be especially successful, but only experienced users can withstand it, and beginners should get acquainted with the capabilities of the massager, starting at low speeds. The device is not an individual accessory, the whole family can use it, you just need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications: identified oncology, hypertension, thrombosis, infectious dermatitis, blood diseases and ARVI.

1 Casada Tappymed 3

It is logical that the device, initially inconvenient to use, will gather dust on the far shelf. Conversely, if the design of the massager is well thought out as in the Tappymed model, long-term operation, visible results and positive user reviews are guaranteed. The Casada company is already releasing the third version of the device, and it invariably occupies the top positions in the ratings of online stores. And all thanks to the comfortable, non-slip handle, optimal length and balanced weight.

It is enough for 8-10 minutes to knead problem areas in a circular motion, and vibrating tapping of one of the 4 silicone tips will work wonders with them: due to vasodilatation, blood will flow to the skin and bring life-giving oxygen and nutrients to the massaged area. And for this she will thank her with elasticity, resilience and beauty. With a minimum intensity and a special nozzle, the massager can even be used to massage the head, but again, contraindications must be taken into account.

Best Roller Massagers

This group of neck and shoulder massagers has gained particular popularity due to its versatility and ease of use. Their principle of action is to roll massage rollers and create gentle pressure on certain parts of the body while heating them. Unlike hand-held devices, both mechanical and electrical, they do not require manual manipulation, allowing complete relaxation. There are several varieties of cervical electric massagers, but roller devices worn around the neck like scarves are most convenient for maximizing the development of the neck-collar zone.

4 Medisana NM 860

Medisana's products have long been familiar to European and domestic consumers - it has been developing products for preventive health care for over 30 years. One of the most famous devices in its range today is the electric shiatsu massager, equipped with 4 massage elements that create the effect of touching your fingertips. Delicately affecting certain areas of the body simultaneously (if desired) with their heating with IR lamps, the device allows you to receive full-fledged massage procedures at home.

Load regulation is carried out in two ways - manually (by threading the hands into special belts) and using the built-in control unit that changes the intensity modes. The reviews note the excellent quality of the massager, the conscientious study of the neck, lower back and shoulders, but at the same time indicate that it is better to supplement it with another model for massage of the legs, for example, the Medisana MFB.

3 Kragen (GESS-012) Gess

Modern people often have no time not only to go to a masseur, but even to devote 15 minutes to an apparatus massage, for which they have to pay with pain in the neck and a feeling of stiffness in the shoulders.But with an electrical device that can function from a "cigarette lighter", you can take care of your health on the way to work or from training. The Kragen manual massager is made of medical leather, which is resistant to mechanical damage, moisture resistant and can be cleaned with disinfectants.

Inside there are 2 massage heads with 4 roller elements that provide an intense kneading massage. The warm-up function kneads and prepares the muscles for the upcoming work, and the rollers are "trained" to change the direction of rotation at the right time, due to which the similarity with manual massage is greatly enhanced. Of the advantages indicated in the reviews, mention should be made of the presence of weights at the ends of the "scarf", due to which a tighter fit to the massaged area is ensured. Of the minuses, unprepared people may have neck pain. Do not get carried away and read the contraindications!

2 Casada Neck Massager 2

Anyone who knows firsthand about the protrusion of the spine, after drug therapy and a complex of exercise therapy, sooner or later remains alone with the old problem - congestion in the neck area after hours of sitting. In order to prevent relapse, you need to eliminate the cause of the disease, that is, to stir up the muscles, remove pinching and remove puffiness. If you believe the reviews, at home it is best done with the 2nd generation Neck Massager.

Its inner part is made of high-quality, pleasant to the touch material, similar to felt and retaining heat for a long time. There are heating and vibration functions, but the roller massage option is most in demand. For its implementation, 2 massage heads are responsible, the direction of movement of which can be controlled by pressing one button. The massager weighs 1.5 kg, and someone in the reviews calls it heavy, but the manufacturer specifically made it in such a way as to provide high quality massage. Another good solution is to provide wide loops in order to thread your arms through them and increase the load by natural tension.

1 YAMAGUCHI AXIOM NECK

The health care system in Japan is one of the most powerful in the world, and it focuses primarily on prevention. It is not surprising that it was the Japanese engineers who managed to develop the highly demanded model of the neck and shoulder massager - the Axiom Neck. It has the shape of a half-ring, conveniently located around the neck and can be pulled apart to increase the radius of coverage. On the sides there are 4 massage rollers, the task of which is to work out the muscles of the neck and shoulders.

An additional effect is created by infrared heating and an electromagnetic field: they improve blood circulation, microcirculation in the brain, and stimulate intracellular metabolic processes. The massager is electric, but it does not work from the mains, but from batteries. This allows you to take massage treatments while traveling, in the office and at home, regardless of the availability of an outlet and electricity. Judging by the reviews, the functionality of the device is at a height, and it can stretch the muscles of the arms, thighs, lower legs, back and chest. In the process of use, one should not forget about contraindications: in case of a feverish state, severe blood diseases, thrombosis, it is not recommended to use the device without the recommendations of the attending physician.

Best percussion massagers

The shock-cam mechanism is hidden inside the shock massagers, the action of which is felt like a frequent drumbeat. For its work, the participation of a person is absolutely not required, but at the same time the effect extends to deeper layers than any other type of massage. As well as roller, electric percussion devices operate from the mains or batteries, automatically turning off after a programmed period of time. Another advantage is a significant variety of auto programs (in some models their number reaches 40-50).But they also have more significant contraindications: fever, the presence of skin lesions, inflammatory processes in the body, blood diseases.

3 Healthy Back New Bradex

By deep pressure on muscle tissue, Thai massage therapists seek to expand blood vessels, increase blood flow and improve skin nutrition. The same effect is exerted by the massage apparatus with the telling name "Healthy back". It can be used to massage the neck, shoulders, lower back, thighs and calves while lying or sitting. The impact-cam device, hidden in the textile sleeve, provides uniform vibration, infrared emitters are responsible for heating the massaged area, and electronic control allows you to choose one of 12 operating modes and one of 9 pressure levels.

The massage cape perfectly follows the contours of the neck as it is shaped like a horseshoe with two loops at the ends. By pulling them with your hands, you can further adjust the massage process. Judging by the reviews, the quality of the product is very good, so there are all the prerequisites for a long and trouble-free service life. A minus was also found, but it rather refers to the service: when buying, some online stores do not issue a warranty card, so we advise you to pay attention to this point.

2 Cervical massage shawls

People in reviews sometimes complain about newly acquired massagers - they either lack the force of impact, then it is excessive, and the procedure hurts. And with this device, such a problem does not happen: 2 modes (manual and automatic), 38 variations of settings, 9 speeds - this is enough to program the massage of the required intensity. The duration of the procedure is automatically adjusted, and after 10 minutes the massager turns off, but if you wish, you can stop or continue its work by pressing the On / Off button.

In operation, the device is simple and straightforward. You don't need to hold it in your hands - just put it on your neck and cover their shoulders, and turn on the mode corresponding to your mood and needs. By the way, the electronic control panel is located very conveniently for the user - so that he does not have to turn his head when choosing a program or level. The device is powerful enough, so, starting with it, you should focus on the minimum settings, and only after getting used to them, move on to the next level.

1 Rumba Us Medica

This device has a very cleverly thought-out counterweight system - it is implemented using ordinary hand pockets. Thanks to this position, the optimal position of the massager during operation is ensured, the intensity of the massage is regulated, the position of the cape and, accordingly, the treatment area changes. So, the device can massage not only the neck and shoulders, but also the lumbar, interscapular and other areas, in which blood stasis and muscle spasm are often formed.

Rumba uses two basic massage techniques - tapping and tapping. The sound of rhythmically alternating beats resembles the beat of a musical piece - rumba, hence the romantic name of the model. However, at maximum settings, the effect of the "dancing" device is very noticeable, so the manufacturer does not recommend starting the first massage sessions with them and being overly carried away by their duration. It can be used wherever it is possible to connect to the electrical network.
