Product Information

Electric massagers: These are convenient because they are hands-free, but they also allow you to change pressure and speed. The infrared heat improves blood circulation, unwinds sore muscles, and helps relieve stress. You even get an included, stylish carry bag and a car charger! The top piece is a bit bulky and might be difficult to position at first, but once you figure it out you’ll be amazed at the quality of massage this product provides. If your bedding sags, consider swapping your pillow or mattress for supportive types, like a cervical support pillow and medium-firm mattress.

Treat the area with heat and cold by alternating 15 minutes of ice with 15 minutes of moist or dry heat. I think its best feature is its patented dual-motor design, which employs both percussion and vibration to massage different pressure points. The dual-motor can help release muscle tension & muscle spasms and massage difficult knots. The CM7 comes with five different heads that offer different massage experiences. I would recommend this device for post-workout massages and relaxation, though, not chronic pain relief. Another thing I’m ambivalent about is CM7’s design. Though it’s small, compact, and easy to use, you still have to hold it in your hand, which requires at least moderate flexibility to operate.Besides, you can massage your whole body with it. The arm-pressure design demands moderate arm strength and mobility, but this is a good device for stress relief and tight muscles.

Bauer, B. A., et al. (2010). Effect of massage therapy on pain, anxiety, and tension after cardiac surgery: A randomized study. Overall the HoMedics sling is easy to use—press the power button once for high intensity, twice for medium, and three times for low. The heated massage is a nice add-on; however, our tester noted that it took a few minutes to heat up. “Once it did,” she said, “that was a nice added feature.”Speed: Massagers with speed settings allow you to choose between a slow, rolling massage or faster massage strokes depending on your preference. Of course, you won’t get any heat or vibration with this massager, but if you’re looking for a simple way to target some of your sore trigger points, the LiBa could be a perfect fit. Several users also noted its effectiveness for migraine headaches and fibromyalgia. https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/managing-pain/pain-relief-solutions/heat-therapy-helps-relax-stiff-joints Use a supportive pillow at night to help with spine alignment, no matter your preferred sleeping position Includes a home and car adaptor for a relaxing massage at home or on-the-go, so you can ease tension and stress wherever you are

If your massager is not specifically meant for this purpose, don’t sleep with it on. You can over-ice or overheat the area. Bernstein, S., et al. (n.d.). Benefits of massage. https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/treatment/complementary-therapies/natural-therapies/benefits-of-massage
