Body Massagers

After a long day at work or perhaps at the gym, your neck muscles can become tight and begin to ache. Even worse, when left unchecked an aching neck will travel to other parts of the body like the shoulders and cause further discomfort, or travel up the neck into the base of the head causing a nagging headache. The best thing that you can do is to massage your neck, but a trip to the Massage Therapist is not cheap and not always convenient.

For far too many people, neck pain is just a way of life and something that they deal with on a daily basis. Without health insurance going to a massage therapist on a regular basis is out of the question and often those same people believe that they can do little about their neck pain. Fortunately for those people, inexpensive neck massagers are available to relieve the pain and tension in the neck. Beyond pain though, new studies have shown that regular neck massages can lead to lower blood pressure and overall better health.

The best solution to a sore neck is to purchase a neck massager for use at home. After the initial cost of the neck massager there’s no appointments to make, no more money to spend and no need to leave your home at all. Ask just about anyone who has used one and the answer is a resounding yes! Neck massagers come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. They can range from small simple handheld devices to larger wrap-around units that fit the contours of your neck. Depending on the price you want to pay and the options that you want, neck massagers offer relief from neck pain and tension. Some neck massagers are quite effective and only provide vibration or deep muscle massage, but other effective neck massagers combine the the movements with heat, which can also help to relax muscles.

Overall, it would be foolish to not purchase a neck massager if you are one of the millions of people that suffer from “a pain in the neck”!

As a person who spends most of her waking time sitting, having a product such as a Therapist Select Shiatsu Back Massager by Homedics is a necessity. For someone like myself with chronic back pain, I keep mine secured to my office chair and turn it on about once every hour and let it run for about 5-10 minutes while I continue to work. All models come with an integrated strapping system, which makes it conveniently and easily attachable to almost any chair. Rather than invest in a very expensive office chair, you can transform almost any chair into an incredible massage chair. On chilly days, I use the heat option to warm-up my muscles before stretching, which I must do several times a day. The heat helps ease muscle tension, while the massage mechanisms help to stimulate circulation. The Shiatsu back massager takes under a minute to warm-up to full heating capacity.

Since the Therapist Select series is flexible, I also lay it flat on my bed – a great way to relax myself to sleep. I can lie on either my back or side and then set the controls for a full or a spot massage. If you want to be creative, you can wrap the massager around a specific body part – such as your leg, if that is where your body needs attention. The independent controls allow you to turn on and off specific areas of the massager as well as adjust intensity levels. The Shiatsu back massager is designed to work your lower back all the way up to your shoulders. As a bonus, at any given time, you can alternate between two massaging styles – either Shiatsu or rolling massage. Even more incredible is that you can adjust the massager dials to conform to your height!

Most working people today hardly have any spare time for themselves, and going to a health spa is not always very convenient or affordable. The cost of one Shiatsu back massager is approximately equal to 1-2 hour massages at a health spa, and is therefore very cost effective. Homedics currently offers five different Shiatsu back massager models designed specifically for chairs. They also have a specifically designed rectangular, portable massage mat. Actually, all of their models are portable, soft, and lightweight.

For even more portability, try the Shiatsu Portable Massaging Cushion, which although marketed as a Shiatsu back massager, can be used as a seat cushion to massage those sometimes very tight gluteal muscles. The gluteal muscles consist of a group of three muscles in the buttocks, which when tight or stiff can cause lower back pain and hip pain. Tightening or stiffening of these muscles can occur even with the average person, such as me, who leads a more or less fairly sedentary lifestyle, as well as athletes and professional dancers who are sometimes prone to overwork their muscles. Using any of the Shiatsu back massager models will do wonders, in most cases, to relieve pain as well as help in the recuperation process. However, as with any product, always consult your doctor before use.
