- A personal massage tool is less expensive than a masseuse and more effective than self-massage techniques.massage tool image by Dumitrescu Ciprian from Fotolia.com
Everyone occasionally experiences stiffness or pain in their neck and shoulders, but among people under high stress or those who spend long hours at a computer, neck pain can become severe or even debilitating. There are a number of treatments for neck pain, including pain relief medications, exercise and stretching, or therapeutic massage, but sufferers of chronic or constant neck pain might prefer a personal neck massager. - Massage and massaging devices have a scientific foundation in relieving sore or stiff muscles. The physical sensation of massage interferes with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, preventing the perception of pain. Massage also releases the body's endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.
Since neck massagers cannot become tired as human fingers do, neck massagers are particularly effective in providing pain relief. - Neck massagers are easy to transport and use anywhere: at the office, on a bus or train, or in a hotel, providing relief and relaxation wherever you need it.
- Most neck massagers are equipped with remotes or knobs that allow users to adjust the intensity to suit their individual needs. They can also be adjusted to fit the shape of the user's neck, and some designs include memory-foam pillows for customized neck support.
