I wanted to do a cervical massager evaluation and analysis report for a long time, and because I had written several popular science articles on the knowledge of cervical massagers, many users asked how to choose a cervical massager so as not to step on the pit? In particular, how to avoid problems such as damage to muscles and bone and nerve pain caused by cervical massagers? So today, we combine the more popular cervical massager models on the market to give you a multi-dimensional cervical massager evaluation and analysis! Avoid the hidden dangers caused by everyone's blind and random purchase!
The following are the brand models that participated in the neck massager evaluation:
Neck 5, Ryosuke MT01 Pro, Ryosuke N5mini (hand-pulled), Usano Air, Yoonbo, Elephant Neck N2, Westinghouse UX5, Ryosuke MT01, Philips PPM5311N (pulse)
Cervical massager comprehensive transverse comprehensive examination
Neck massager evaluation dimension 1: massage subjective feeling
During the massage, the user's subjective feelings about the neck massager are very important. This is related to the current calibration, the material of the massage head/electrode and compatibility. A compatible neck massager can fully massage all areas without overstimulating the muscles, causing pain or other discomfort. So what are the usual manifestations of uncomfortable massage?
1. The minimum gear also feels too strong and feels very painful:
Some cervical massagers still provide too much massage force in the smallest gear, causing the user to feel pain and discomfort. This may be due to the improperly designed or adjusted massage apparatus to provide a moderate massage.
2. The massage force is uneven, large and small, and it feels uncomfortable
Some neck massagers are unstable during the massage, large and small, making the user feel uncomfortable. This may be due to the unreasonable design of the massager structure or motor, which cannot provide uniform and stable massage force, so the neck massager recommends professional and technically adjusted products.
3. Rubbing massage will vigorously rub the epidermal muscles, causing discomfort
Some neck massagers use a scraping massage method, the massage head will vigorously rub the epidermal muscles during exercise, stimulate the user's muscles, easily scratch the skin damage, and cannot provide a comfortable massage experience.
Evaluation method: select ten groups of men and women evenly assigned personnel to carry out real human actual use experience, and record and summarize the specific feelings, whether there are irritation, pain, and uncomfortable feelings.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Weiye
This massage instrument is very comfortable to use, the massage intensity is just right, it will not be big or small, and every part can be massaged in place without any discomfort. This also means that the compatibility of the product is excellent, suitable for a variety of people, fat and thin, and can be given to relatives and friends as a gift.
★★★★ : Ryosuke MT01 Pro, Westinghouse, Ryosuke MT01
These massagers are still comfortable, but the massage force is smaller, like thicker muscles, the deep massage effect can not be achieved at all.
Neck massager evaluation dimension 2: massage accuracy
High-quality neck massagers usually have precise massage fixed point and acupressure techniques, which can accurately massage important points and areas, and the massage position is not easy to shift, and the massage effect is more ideal. Cervical massagers with poor massage accuracy and frequent deviations cannot achieve the desired results. This is affected by many factors such as the quality of the motor, the rationality of the design of the massager, and whether the buckle is stable.
Evaluation method: Put the massager on the neck of the dummy for testing, run it for two minutes, and observe whether the trajectory of the massage head or electrode movement is offset.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Weino (physics), Philips (pulse)
Philips because it is a pulse massager, the massage position will not shift at all, but there is no actual kneading massage effect, only the feeling of voltage stimulation, Weiye is the most accurate massage product in the physical massager, will not deviate from the massage position when used, very stable, so it can achieve deep and precise massage to relax the muscles.
★★★★ : Elephant Neck N2, Ryosuke MT01 Pro
Both models will obviously shift during massage, but the displacement amplitude is within the acceptable range and can be adjusted manually.
Neck massager evaluation dimension three: massage depth
A good neck massager can provide a moderate depth of massage, not too shallow, can relieve muscle tension, and does not overapply pressure and cause muscle damage. So what kind of neck massager is safer?
1. Physical overvoltage shock absorption function
Some high-end neck massagers have physical overpressure shock absorption, which automatically reduces the pressure or stops the massage when the massage force is too strong to avoid excessive pressure and damage to the muscles and skin.
2. Temperature control protection function
This type of neck massager can provide a moderate hot compress effect by controlling the heating temperature of the massage head, ensuring a safe temperature during the massage process and avoiding scalding or discomfort to the user's skin.
3. Motor drive structure optimization technology adjustment function
This kind of massager can accurately adjust the massage according to the user's needs and body feeling, and give the user a more comfortable and safer massage experience by repeatedly adjusting the motor's speed, vibration frequency and other parameters.
Evaluation method: put the massager into the clay, take it out after two minutes of booting and running, and observe the depth of the depression of the clay to obtain the depth of the massager. (Pulse massagers do not participate in this test)
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Weino, Ryosuke MT01 Pro, Double Easy Neck5
The massage depth of these massagers is moderate, not too shallow or too deep, especially Weiye, the massage is very comfortable, the thicker trapezius muscles and other positions can also be fully massaged in place, there is no need to worry about muscle damage, only the comfort after massage.
★★★★ : Easy N5mini (hand pull), Ryosuke MT01
These are either too deep in massage, such as the Double Easy N5mini (hand pull), and it hurts a little to press; Either it is too shallow, such as Yunbao, and it doesn't feel at all.
Neck massager evaluation dimension 4: massage area
The size of the massage area directly determines the scope and effect of the massage. The neck massager recommends a large massage area, and the massage instrument with a small massage area can only be limited to a certain point, which cannot meet the user's comprehensive massage needs, and the cost performance is lower. And when we buy or use a massage instrument, what aspects can we distinguish the size of the massage area?
1. Observe the number of massage heads and the distribution of massage heads
The neck massager with a small number of massage heads and a narrow distribution area of massage heads means that the massage area is small and can only massage local positions.
2. You can't massage the trapezius muscle, you can only focus on a certain part
We can clearly feel that the neck massager with a small massage area cannot press a wide part such as the trapezius muscle, and can only concentrate on a certain part. There are also very few acupuncture points that can be massaged, and it is difficult to have a massage effect.
Evaluation method: The massage area is measured by observing the trajectory of the massage head when it is running on the neck of the dummy.
Assessment results;
★★★★★ : Weiye, Xiangjutsu, Beeasy N5mini
The area of these massagers is relatively large, especially the large massage area of Weiye and the uniform distribution of massage heads, whether it is neck points or trapezius muscles and other parts, can be fully massaged; The oak and relaxing massage sensation is in the form of rubbing and scraping, so although it can also massage a larger range, it is more suitable for people with higher muscle tolerance.
★★★★ : Ryosuke MT01 Pro
This massage is medium in size and can slightly pass the edge of the trapezius muscle, but most of the important acupuncture points are still out of reach.
Neck massager evaluation dimension 5: suitable neck circumference size
The size and matching of the neck circumference of the massager is related to the comfort and massage effect of the user, if the neck circumference is too large, the person with a thin neck will have a heavy drop feeling when wearing it; If the neck circumference is too small, people with thick necks will wear a neck strangulation, and the massage device with the right neck size can better fit the curve of the neck and provide a more comfortable and precise massage experience.
Assessment method: Ten real people with different body types are invited to conduct actual test experience and observe the fixing method of cervical massager.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Weiye
★★★★ : Elephant neck N2, Yoonbo, Philips 5311N
Cervical massager evaluation dimension six: fit
A good neck massager can fit tightly and comfortably to the neck curve without falling back or jamming the neck, ensuring that the massage pressure can be accurately transmitted to the target area, providing a more effective massage effect.
Evaluation method: I hung ten massagers on the dummy model to compare whether they could fit the dummy neck.
Analysis of assessment results:
★★★★★ : Hideno, Philips 5311N, Ryosuke MT01 Pro
Weino and Philips' this one fits just around the neck, and there is no feeling of falling when worn, and it will not jam the neck. Although Ryosuke's fit is good, people with thicker necks are more uncomfortable to use, and they will be more stuck necks
★★★★ : Elephant Neck 2, Easyway N5mini (hand pull), Ryosuke MT01, Westinghouse UX5
There is still some gap between the head and neck of these massage heads, and they will fall back when worn, especially the N5mini, which requires manual force to fit.
Neck massager assessment dimension seven: weight
As our daily relief and relaxation muscles, if the weight is too heavy, it is not only inconvenient to carry, but also increases the pressure on our shoulders and neck and affects the use experience. However, the massage instrument that is too light is also unreliable, and the reason why this type of massage instrument is light may be because the internal structure is not precise or the parts are missing two pounds.
Assessment method: The weight of each neck massager is measured by a special scale and recorded.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Philips, Yoonbo, Uno, Westinghouse
★★★★ : Double Easy Neck5, Ryosuke MT01
Neck massager evaluation dimension eight: hot compress temperature
Generally, medium and high-end cervical massagers have a hot compress function, but not all massagers have a safe and comfortable hot compress temperature. Some massager merchants pursue a high-temperature hot compress mode, which will have the risk of burns; Some merchants just borrow the hot compress function to increase the selling point, and the actual hot compress temperature cannot achieve the hot compress effect at all. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a neck massager with a hot compress temperature set at about 42°C, which is the closest temperature to a person's comfortable feeling.
Evaluation method: The temperature of each neck massager is measured by thermometer when applying heat, and it is recorded.
Assessment Results:
★★★★★ : Hideno, Ryosuke MT01 Pro
★★★★ : Elephant neck N2, Ryosuke MT01
Assessment data summary: comprehensive brand recommendation
Neck massager recommended one: Weiye AIR
As an "unconventional" extreme sports and professional rehabilitation physiotherapy brand, Weiye insists on using physiotherapy ideas to develop products, basically does not advertise or engage in redundant functions, chooses to specialize in motor and transmission tuning, focuses on fever performance and does not hurt muscles. It has always been highly respected by many sports enthusiasts and physiotherapists, and even professional athletes such as speed skating and skiing world champions Guo Dan, Tu Xiao, and Li Shuang are using their products. The reputation is super good, and it is at the top of the list of medium and high port monuments all year round!
In the evaluation results, Weiye as a professional technology brand is also superior in all core performance, this massager adopts approved transmission technology, customized metal dual power motor, prismatic distribution 24-style massage array and other ten neck protection and muscle black technology, but also for motor transmission stability, precision and power attenuation, compatibility and other continuous tuning optimization, can provide a safe and comfortable massage experience. Laboratory experiments show that it can reduce the muscle injury rate by 93.8% while achieving a massage depth and area of 1,000 yuan.
In addition, this neck massager is also compatible with good compatibility, moderate massage depth, adjustable neck circumference span, unique ladder sports ring neck protection design can be applied to people with different neck sizes, different muscle thickness and tolerance, good support while reducing muscle damage.
Neck massager recommended two: Double Easy Neck5
The lightweight design of the Neck5 is easy to carry and use, and it has a variety of massage modes to enjoy a comfortable massage at any time, whether in the office, at home or on the go.
However, the massage force is strong, which is not suitable for people with average muscle tolerance, especially the elderly. In addition, the battery life is also relatively short, and it needs to be charged frequently, which will shorten the service life of the instrument.
Neck massager recommendation three: Westinghouse UX5
Westinghouse UX5 material is soft and comfortable, small size, wearing will not feel heavy, noise is relatively low, use in the office is not afraid of noisy others.
However, the number of massage heads is small, the massage area is small, and it cannot cover all the areas that need to be massaged daily, and the massage strength and depth are not enough, and deep massage cannot be performed on some positions with thicker muscles.
Neck massager recommended four: Liangjie MT01 Pro
This massager has a three-step temperature adjustable hot compress function, can promote blood circulation, the hot compress temperature is also very comfortable, not easy to burn, the material is soft and breathable snake cloth, very comfortable to wear, the lack is that it does not take long to pill, very affect the look and experience.
In addition, the weight is also heavy, and wearing it for a long time may cause a certain degree of burden.
Neck massager recommended five: elephant neck N2
The appearance of this massager is very good, the material is soft and elastic, the breathability and wrinkle resistance are also good, and the voice broadcast is convenient and simple to operate.
However, when using it, I feel that the massage force is a little large, and the massage head is quite deep, so the thinner, thin muscles of the people may feel a little clucky, and because the weight is relatively heavy, so the product will be a little easy to fall, it is best to use it against the wall.
The above is the detailed data of this issue of cervical massager evaluation and the comparative analysis between different product models, I hope to help you in the process of selecting and purchasing cervical massager, but also hope that you can have a more detailed understanding of cervical massager in combination with this evaluation report, to avoid many pits and minefields on the market! Be able to reasonably choose the cervical massager products that are suitable for yourself and your family!
