What are the benefits of neck massagers? As a professional therapist, I answer a lot of inquiries about neck massagers every day. Most of these inquiries are customers with cervical spine problems, who basically see the advertisements of neck massagers and have the impulse to consume, but they are not sure of the authenticity of these advertising information, so they want to find out the true effect of neck massagers through professional consultation. To this end, I specially collected data published by authoritative websites in the industry and personally tried some products with high brand awareness. Below I will divide into several sections to explain in detail what are the benefits of neck massagers?
(Pictured, part of the neck massager I tried)
1. What are the benefits of neck massager?
What are the benefits of neck massagers? According to relevant media reports, the number of people suffering from cervical spondylosis in mainland China has reached 150 million. Behind this set of amazing data, there is actually a huge market for neck massagers. The neck massager is not only easy to carry, but also quick and convenient to use in daily life such as work, study and entertainment, and does not require too high a threshold of experience to bring a massage experience, which is indeed very attractive. We can probably understand through the advertising introduction that the main function of the neck massager is to massage the shoulder and neck muscles, but when it comes to its real effect, not many people can say clearly, and I will tell you in detail about the four benefits of the neck massager.
1. Correct shoulder and neck muscles. Because the shoulder and neck muscles are affected by our daily frequent head up and head down, the pressure and involvement are very serious, making the muscles tense, and it is easy to appear muscle inflammation, stiffness and pain over time. The neck massager can massage the shoulder and neck muscles in time, relax the muscle fascia, eliminate muscle tension and compression, and avoid the occurrence of pain and stiffness.
2. Relieves cervical pain. The frequent decline of study, work and entertainment activities makes our cervical spine prone to soreness, accompanied by physical exhaustion, and unconsciously hunched back to increase pressure on the cervical spine. When the neck massager massages the shoulder and neck, it can eliminate muscle soreness, thereby restoring the original vitality of muscles, relieving physical fatigue, maintaining a good body posture, and relieving cervical pain and discomfort.
3. It is conducive to blood circulation. When the neck massager massages the shoulder and neck muscles, it still applies appropriate thrust to the blood vessels in the shoulder and neck position, accelerates blood flow circulation, and provides sufficient nutrients to the mind, so as to improve the dizziness, pain and other head discomfort caused by the lack of blood and qi in the human body, restore vitality, and achieve the effect of relaxing the body.
4. Improve sleep quality. At present, the pace of life is accelerating, and the quality of sleep of many people is greatly reduced, and there are often insomnia and dreams. The neck massager can simultaneously take into account the massage and relaxation of the head, neck and shoulders, so that the human body quickly enters a comfortable and relaxed state, accelerates sleep, and accelerates into deep sleep, alleviating insomnia and dreams.
Second, the four grooves of the inferior neck massager
What are the benefits of neck massagers? The benefits of neck massagers are many, but there are also many grooves. Some media have reported that unqualified neck massagers frequently appear in the market, and after use, not only have no effect, but also bring a lot of fatal injuries to the human body. These news are terrifying to hear, and the views on neck massagers are even more diverse, which shows the harm of inferior products. In order to eliminate some exaggerated artificial fears and maintain a rational view of neck massagers, we need to correctly identify the four common grooves of inferior neck massagers.
1. Make cervical spondylosis more serious. Neck massagers are mainly used to relieve shoulder and neck discomfort, and many people with cervical spondylosis can relieve a lot of pain through neck massager massage. However, if inferior products are used, it is likely to stimulate muscles and cervical spine due to poor product design and poor quality, aggravate cervical spine pain, and promote the generation of new cervical spondylosis.
2. Make the shoulder and neck stiff and unconscious. Inferior neck massagers often have problems such as small number of massage heads and unreasonable distribution, resulting in insufficient massage area, and after long-term use, it will lead to excessive local force on shoulder and neck muscles, stiffness, numbness and other problems, and serious local unconsciousness, making shoulder and neck activities difficult.
3. Make the head uncomfortable. Inferior neck massager because of the unstable quality of the motor, there is a great hidden danger of violent massage, when the massage force is too large and stable, it will cause stimulation to the cervical spine, and then bring negative effects to the blood supply to the brain, resulting in intermittent or continuous dizziness, headache and other discomfort, current pulse products should pay more attention to this.
4. Make muscle atrophy and fibrosis. Inferior neck massager massage experience is not guaranteed, often uneven and unstable massage strength, accumulated will cause irreversible stimulation and damage to muscles, severe cases will lead to muscle atrophy, fibrosis, reduce body kinetic energy, affect normal life.
Third, the four major scams in the neck massager market, be careful!
What are the benefits of neck massagers? There is an endless stream of complaints about neck massagers on the market, which has dissuaded many people who plan to start. In fact, it is not difficult to find some commonalities in these complaints, as long as we distinguish and identify these common points, the probability of stepping on the pit will be greatly reduced. In order to let everyone have a more intuitive understanding, I summarized the four major scams in the neck massager market, avoiding pits and demining for everyone in advance, and also hoping that everyone can be vigilant and not give inferior products the opportunity to exploit loopholes.
1. Overly sought after massage strength. The higher the massage intensity, it does not mean that the massage effect is better, nor does it mean that the massage experience is more comfortable. If the massage is too strong, the risk of injuring the shoulder and neck muscles will increase, and in severe cases, it will also hurt the cervical spine. The massage intensity should be determined according to your physical condition, mainly to feel comfortable yourself, and you cannot blindly emphasize that the bigger the better.
2. The massage accuracy is poor. Massage accuracy is very important for fragile shoulders and necks, if the focus point of massage is not precise and deflected, it will stimulate the fragile vascular nerves in the shoulder and neck, etc., reduce the massage effect while bringing damage to the body, damaging muscles, and may also stimulate cervical nerves and bones.
3. Current pulse products. Current pulse neck massager is mainly through the current to stimulate the shoulder and neck muscle rhythm, the market reflects that the massage effect is not significant, and many people can not withstand this current stimulation, there may be damage to muscles and nerves.
4. Lack of conditioning of massage strength. The most important functional factor of the neck massager is the strength output of the massage, some products lack of tuning in this regard, there are problems such as uneven and unstable massage, which greatly reduces the comfort of massage, and the massage experience is easy to damage the muscles. The current pulse product is even worse, if the current is released unevenly, the tingling sensation is stronger.
What are the benefits of neck massagers? After talking about the common scams on the market, I believe that everyone can basically maintain a certain vigilance when choosing a neck massager to reduce the risk of stepping on the pit. Let's not lose faith in neck massagers, there are many quality products on the market, but we haven't found them yet. In order to make you closer to the market, I am here to show a neck massager performance evaluation report released by a professional evaluation website, and combined with the experience of this trial product, I will give you a popular science about the current brand situation of the neck massager market, I hope you can like it.
Among the many brands measured, the "unconventional" AGVIEE has the strongest performance and the lowest muscle damage rate, as the pioneer of "no muscle damage" technology, it has developed an exclusive ten black technology that does not hurt muscles, massage penetration, transmission stability, kneading accuracy, etc. within a thousand yuan, strong performance and reduced 97.2% damage! Top compatibility for the whole family. It also has the original TRX acupoint fractional massage technology, which helps sleep quality, relieves headaches, etc., which is a gospel for most people with poor sleep quality and frequent headaches!
As an extreme sports and health care brand, Weiye is deeply loved by sports gods and physiotherapists, including speed skating, skiing world famous Guo Dan, Li Shuang, etc., as one of the three major massage brands, with the same name as Beeasy, the reputation of high-end sales ranks first.
Many brands on the market pile up appearance, function and gameplay, pursue intelligence, sacrifice quality to fight price wars, engage in endorsements, etc. for the sake of competition, resulting in poor bloated products and high muscle damage rates. "Unconventional" AGVIEE Weiye insists on never advertising, purely focusing on massage effects, not hurting muscles, etc., pioneering research and development of ten performance and muscle black technologies, such as ARS traction tuning technology, DPP micro frequency dynamic compensation technology, V-ZUS intelligent engine algorithm, dual-channel verification transmission technology, etc., the strongest performance muscle damage rate is the lowest! It also sets up more than 100 performance technical indicators for motor, power, etc., and after more than 6 years of anti-attenuation design and testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability and muscle damage rate certification.
Among other brands, Beeasy is more famous, keen to invite celebrities to endorse, and the packaging design is exquisite. If you consider the cost performance, you can look at Honor, Xiaomi, etc., the unit price is lower, and the configuration at the same price is competitive.
Fourth, the eight major purchasing policies of neck massager are shared
What are the benefits of neck massagers? No matter how much to say, it is on paper, and if you want to know the benefits of a neck massager, you must experience it yourself. However, in the face of a market with a wide range of products, many people do not know how to start for a while, and some will even rush to the doctor, believe in some false advertising propaganda, and accidentally step on the consumer trap. To this end, I have specially summarized the eight major purchase policies for neck massagers, and the following is a detailed sharing for your reference and exchange.
1. Look at the brand. It is recommended to choose a professional brand with rich tuning foundation and core technical support, rather than an Internet celebrity brand that pays attention to external ornamentation. Professional brands take into account the transmission performance and experience comfort of the product very well, the massage intensity is stable and uniform, the massage accuracy is also guaranteed, and the brand endorsement ability is very strong.
2. Look at the massage method. It is recommended to choose a kneading neck massager that is more popular in the market, kneading massage not only has a good sense of experience, but also has little harm but also the mainstream trend of the current massage market. In contrast, the current pulse massage also looks good, the actual sense of use is not good, the consumer acceptance is not high, and there is a risk of harming the body.
3. Look at the motor. It is recommended to choose a dual-motor neck massager with less load on the motor. Dual motors have higher kinetic energy utilization than single motors, lower transmission attenuation for long-term operation, more stable and uniform output of massage strength, less running noise, better experience, and relatively long service life.
4. Look at the accuracy of the massage. It is recommended to choose a neck massager with precise massage points, high precision can enhance the massage effect, reduce the risk of shoulder and neck injury, and also improve massage comfort. The massage accuracy of the neck massager is mainly determined by the brand technical adjustment and the performance quality of the motor, and these two indicators can be referred to when choosing.
5. Look at the massage area. It is recommended to choose a neck massager that can ensure a reasonable massage area range, the massage area is mainly affected by the number of massage heads and their distribution, choose a neck massager with four massage heads and a trapezoidal distribution can avoid the massage area too small to damage the muscles, but also massage to the trapezius muscle, bringing a better massage experience and effect.
6. Look at the massage strength. It is recommended to consider the massage strength according to your own physical condition and taking into account the comfort of massage, do not be affected by the outside world and feel that the greater the massage force, the better, the massage force is too large not only uncomfortable, but also press pain and hurt muscles, so that the massage experience is greatly reduced.
7. Look at durability and reliability. It is recommended to choose a neck massager that does not superimpose gimmick functions such as built-in fragrance, force sensing, and smart App, which not only have no benefit to the massage effect, but also consume the service life of the motor, affect the internal operation of the product, and reduce the accuracy, uniformity and stability of the massage force.
8. Look at the price. It is recommended not to choose a neck massager below 300 yuan, most of these products are OEM production, no professional technical adjustment not to mention, there is no safe material guarantee, often failure, and not durable, massage stability is still very poor, easy to harm muscles and other shoulder and neck composition.
5. Six categories of people who are not suitable for using neck massagers
What are the benefits of neck massagers? There are many advertisements for neck massagers, most of which are promoting the benefits of neck massagers, and few people will tell us that not everyone is suitable for using neck massagers. For some people, the use of neck massagers not only does not get a good massage effect, but also may cause damage to the body and cause irreversible losses. The following will give you five types of people who are not suitable for using neck massagers, I hope you can avoid danger in advance.
Children under 1. Children under 6 years old. Children at this age have not fully developed their bones, and the muscles on their bodies are relatively immature, and they can't withstand too much external force. The high-frequency vibration of the neck massager acts on the muscles and bones, which is easy to affect the growth and development of the child, so it is not recommended.
2. Elderly people over 70 years old. The elderly at this age physical fitness has decreased significantly, the degree of muscle atrophy is higher, and generally accompanied by osteoporosis, rheumatic inflammation and other symptoms, can not stand the neck massager high-frequency transmission kneading, especially can not stand the stimulation of electric pulse massage.
3. Pregnant people. Pregnant women are best to stay away from current pulse neck massager, the high-frequency current generated by this product is easy to stimulate muscles and nerves, blood vessels, etc., so that pregnant women are overly nervous, affect heart rate and breathing, and then affect the fetal state in the abdomen, and there are more safety hazards.
4. People who are too thin. Slender people have lower muscle thickness and more prominent bone contours, compared with ordinary body shapes, slender people are more likely to use neck massagers due to improper operation, incorrect strength, massage for too long, etc. to hurt the muscles, hurt the bones, and produce a poor sense of experience.
5. People with acute sprains. Generally, sprained and contused wounds have the characteristics of redness, swelling and swelling, if you use a neck massager to apply force on the wound, not only can not relax the muscles, but also make the redness and swelling worse, aggravate the pain, and seriously damage the surface skin, resulting in more injuries.
6. People with muscle tears. The neck massager can directly act on the muscles to transmit force to the deep muscle fascia, if the neck massager is used in the case of muscle tear injury, it will increase the muscle tear wound due to kneading transmission, dragging down the recovery.
What are the benefits of neck massagers? There's a lot more to explore about the benefits of neck massagers. Finally, it is recommended that you must choose a professional brand when choosing a neck massager to ensure that it can bring good massage results. Try not to be fooled by Internet celebrity products and bring yourself potential safety risks. I also hope that everyone can maintain good work and rest habits and take care of their bodies.
