Neck Massager For Neck And Shoulder Dual Trigger Point Roller Self-Massage Tool Relieve Hand Pressure Deep Tissue Massage(Pink)

Product Information

Style of massage offered : This can range from light and gentle to deep, shiatsu-style kneading. If you love a deep massage, you’ll probably be inclined to lean into the machine – but that can leave red marks and isn’t the best idea. Excess pressure can also slow the mechanism down, making it less effective.

We love the 15-minute auto shutoff, which allows you to completely relax knowing the VIKTOR JURGEN won’t overheat. It’s also compact and portable, making it a great option if you want to bring it along on a flight or to the office. Massage and trigger point therapy can help through two mechanisms. First, it works through neurophysiological means, as the pressure from the massage signals the muscle to relax and decrease resting tone or guarding,” he says. “Secondly, this repeated on/off pressure from the massage or trigger point therapy helps pump more blood flow into the region, therefore delivering more oxygen and reversing many of the effects of the acidic environment.”Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now. Ayan, P., et al. (2021). Health efficacy of electrically operated automated massage on muscle properties, peripheral circulation, and physio-psychological variables: A narrative review. According to the NCCIH, the risk of massage injury from a masseuse is very low. The NCCIH states that there have been rare reports of blood clots, nerve injuries, and bone fractures. However, it’s worth noting that the small size may not provide as much leverage or robustness as larger alternatives. Also, its simplicity means it comes with fewer knobs, which might reduce its versatility in massaging various body areas.

Rotation: Many electric massagers allow you to change the direction of the massage element for a more comprehensive massage. However, these are usually caused by losing oxygen or traumatic brain injury, not a simple touch to a pressure point. Some rare cases of trauma to the carotid artery, or even events called commotio cordis — also known as cardiac concussion, which involves a heavy blow to the chest that messes up the heart’s electrical current and leads to sudden heart failure — have brought up the question as to whether or not Japanese samurai fighters were perhaps onto something when they made claims about the “Death Touch.” But most of this remains shrouded in mystery, with more scientific studies needed to better understand it. In other words, while pressure points may exist as sensitive spots on the body that can aid in both fighting and healing, touching or pressing on them probably can't kill you. Still, use pressure points as a way to help relax your muscles, reduce tension and stress, and overcome painful headaches. If your bedding sags, consider swapping your pillow or mattress for supportive types, like a cervical support pillow and medium-firm mattress. Step 4: From T1, move about four fingers’ width outward. Ms Mai suggests that you may notice a slight depression when you slide your fingers outward. However, it’s important to note that some individuals, especially those with more body fat, may not feel this depression.Although it’s on the pricier side, the chair comes with a 30-day return option if you’re not fully satisfied. 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.” There’s no storage pouch provided so we recommend keeping the box it comes in, but for the price, it’s a solid choice for a versatile home massager that can be used practically anywhere on the body.

Ms Mai also advises to seek a healthcare professional’s advice if you experience any of the following: This product provides multiple choices for massage point knobs: a medium silicone knob and a heavy fibre knob. This customizable approach allows users to select the massage knob that suits them best, facilitating precise control over the pressure and pinpointing muscle nodes effectively. Multiple speeds and/or intensities : Being able to play with speed, intensity and rotation direction means every massage will feel different – and you can more specifically target the muscles that need attention. This is a massage technique that targets localized tender or hyper-irritable spots in the muscles,” says Louise Richardson, Regional Clinical Lead at Total Physiotherapy. “Trigger point massage works to relieve pain and tension in these areas through isolated pressure and release.” SolankiSL, et al.

Repeat the massage treatment throughout your day if you feel they are effective. There’s no limit to how many times per day you can practice acupressure. We consider the Viktor Jurgen a basic massager since it only has two adjustable speeds and one heat setting. For safety, we like that it will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of use and overheat protection so it won't get too hot. For the price, you can't do much better. However, more advanced massagers are on our list should you want an even more personalized experience.

Unfortunately, this item does not have an auto shut-off option, so make sure you stay awake during use. I think that massagers are not a bad idea as long as they are not pushed too strong and not overused,” says Dr. Kalika. Heat : Using a heat setting will help to further relax tight muscles by increasing blood flow to the target area. There’s not too much science that supports the use of reflexology to treat headaches, and the studies we have are small and need to be expanded.
