As a therapist, I am becoming more aware of the growing challenges of cervical spine health. Recently, many friends have consulted me on how to relieve cervical spine pain. In view of the increasing incidence of cervical spine diseases, traditional neck exercises alone can no longer meet the needs of people for daily rehabilitation care. Therefore, it becomes crucial to choose a cervical massager that suits the individual's needs. So what are the benefits of cervical massager? High-quality cervical massager can indeed effectively relieve neck fatigue, relieve muscle tension, and prevent cervical spine diseases. But there are many inferior products on the market that have poor massage effects and will hurt muscles, in order to give you a deeper understanding of cervical massager, today, I would like to share with you some knowledge about cervical massager through this article.
Here are some of the products I've recently reviewed:
1. What are the benefits of cervical massager?
What are the benefits of cervical massagers? For people who have been sedentary for a long time, there are many benefits of using a high-quality massager. And according to statistics, more than 200 million people in mainland China suffer from cervical spondylosis, many people are suffering from cervical spine problems, and the body is in a sub-healthy state. Next, let's take a look at the benefits of using a high-quality cervical massager:
1. Relieve neck muscle tension and pain
The use of a cervical massager can effectively relieve tension and pain in the neck muscles. Sitting for a long time or using electronic devices such as mobile phones with your head down for a long time can cause tension and stiffness in the neck muscles, and the use of a cervical massager can relax the neck muscles and relieve discomfort by massaging and squeezing.
2. Relieve stress and improve sleep quality
The massaging effect of the cervical massager can promote the relaxation of the body, relieve stress, and improve sleep quality. There are many people who have a poor sleep quality due to work pressure or physical discomfort, and using a cervical massager for massage can relax the body and mind, help you fall asleep, and improve the quality of sleep.
3. Cervical massager can prevent cervical spine diseases
With the increase of modern people's work and life pressure, the incidence of cervical spine diseases is also on the rise. Proper use of cervical massager can increase the flexibility of the cervical spine, improve the blood circulation of the cervical spine, and reduce the occurrence of cervical spine diseases by massaging and stretching the neck muscles.
4. Promote blood circulation
The massage function of the cervical massager can stimulate the blood circulation of the neck, increase blood supply, accelerate metabolism, improve blood circulation, and reduce the risk of disease.
Second, be wary of the four major shortcomings of inferior massagers
What are the benefits of a cervical massager?A professional cervical massager has several benefits, it can relieve neck muscle tension and pain, relieve stress and improve sleep quality, and improve the overall health of the body. However, if you buy an inferior cervical massager with no technical strength, it is likely to harm the body, cause muscle redness and swelling, and even cause bad effects on muscles and bones. In fact, choosing an inferior cervical massager may bring the following four main hazards:
Hazards 1. Cervical massager may aggravate neck problems
While cervical massagers are designed to relieve neck pain and stiffness, improper or overuse may cause neck problems to worsen further. If the massager exerts too much pressure or friction on a specific area of the neck, it may cause problems such as muscle strain, cervical spine pain, etc. to worsen.
Hazards 2. May cause dizziness and headache
Excessive use of the massager for a long time or frequent massages may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness and headaches. This can be due to overstimulation of the muscles and nerves in the neck, leading to circulatory disturbances or nervousness, which in turn can cause head discomfort.
Hazard 3. Cause muscle fibrosis or atrophy
Choosing and using a cervical massager that does not conform to the characteristics of your own muscles, or using it in an improper and excessive way, may cause the risk of fibrosis or atrophy of the muscle groups of the shoulder and neck, although the probability is small, but it still needs to be paid attention to.
Hazard 4. Damage to bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels
During the use of the massager, if the force is too strong or the use time is too long, it may cause additional pressure and irritation to the cervical spine, neck muscles, nerves and blood vessels, resulting in damage to these tissues. In the long run, it can lead to problems such as osteoporosis of the neck bones, muscle strain, nerve compression, and vascular dysfunction.
Third, don't guard against the four routines of cervical massager
The above has introduced to you the benefits and harms of using a cervical massager. After understanding that inferior cervical massager may aggravate cervical spine problems, many people may be curious about what are the reasons for the harm? The following figure is the negative evaluation statistics table of the cervical massager summarized by the relevant forum on the whole network, so according to this figure, I also summarized the four reasons that lead to the harm of the cervical massager, let's take a look.
1. There are many OEM brands for cervical massagers
There are many OEM cervical massagers on the market, which are similar to the original brand in appearance and function, but the quality cannot be guaranteed. The quality control and after-sales service of OEM products are often not as reliable as the original brand, and there are certain risks.
2. Overemphasizing the depth and strength of the massage
Some cervical massagers focus too much on the depth and strength of the massage in pursuit of a stronger sense of stimulation. However, overemphasizing the strength and depth of the massage may put too much pressure and burden on the neck and muscles, leading to adverse effects such as pain and soreness.
3. Poor kneading accuracy
Some cervical massagers have poor kneading accuracy, and the massage head area is inaccurate or too concentrated, which may lead to uneven massage results, resulting in overstimulation of some parts, and may even injure sensitive areas of the neck.
4. There are too many low-cost and inferior products
The quality of cervical massagers on the market is uneven, and some low-quality massagers cannot provide an effective and safe massage experience due to poor quality or improper use, and are easy to cause harm when used.
With the continuous progress of science and technology, some cervical massagers also have intelligent functions, such as hot compresses, air pressure massage, etc., which are more suitable for personal needs. However, if the choice of inferior cervical massager may cause harm to the cervical spine, and now the market is full of inferior products. The following is a survey report released by an authoritative organization, summarizing the core data table of most mainstream brands of cervical massagers on the market, and I also recommend a few cervical massagers worth starting:
According to the measured data, the extreme sports and health care brand AGVIEE Weiye has the best performance, as the recognized originator in the field of "no muscles", it has a strict pursuit of performance, safety and muscles, massage uniformity, massage penetration, kneading more accurate, etc. have reached the highest level within 1,000 yuan, and have been tested by authoritative institutions to increase the deep muscle relaxation rate by 130%, massage comfort by 124%, and the performance is top-notch and reduces the muscle damage rate by 97.2%! In addition, the compatibility of the crowd is top-notch, the technical adjustment is in place, suitable for the whole family, and the gift is also very suitable! It also has the original TRX acupoint matrix massage technology, which helps sleep quality, relieves headaches, etc., and is good news for most people with poor sleep quality and frequent headaches!
"Unconventional" Weiye is one of the three major massage care brands with the same name as Bei Easy, but insists on not advertising, focusing on technical tuning and research and development, purely relying on word-of-mouth to gather popularity, mid-to-high-end perennial sales, word-of-mouth first, and is deeply loved by sports gods and physiotherapists, including speed skating, skiing world famous Guo Dan, Li Shuang, Tu Xiao and a large number of professional athletes!
In order to avoid bloated products, poor stability, etc., Weiye Pure has been working hard for many years on high performance, safety and reliability, compatibility, and has also pioneered the creation of 10 "high-performance and muscle-free" black technologies, such as V-ZUS intelligent engine algorithm, dual-channel approved transmission technology, 3D dynamic balance technology, etc.!The massage range has been increased by 52%, the uniformity of strength has been increased by 78%, 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, achieving strong performance and the lowest muscle damage rate!
If the requirements for the performance experience are not demanding, then you can consider the next relaxation, which is more famous and has exquisite packaging, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the performance experience.
Fourth, share the eight major purchase skills of cervical massager
Through the above introduction, we have learned what are the benefits of cervical massager. We all know that a high-quality cervical massager can relieve a variety of discomforts such as neck pain and tension. So how to avoid unprofessional inferior products and choose a high-quality massager that really suits you? Here are 8 tips for buying high-quality products:
1. Choose a professional brand with strength and reputation.
Professional brands have a better grasp of the core technology and quality control of products, and have a large number of technical optimization and adjustment indicators in terms of massage strength uniformity, transmission frequency stability, kneading accuracy, massage depth and range, etc., which can give you a more comfortable and powerful massage experience!
2. The strength and depth of massage and kneading should be appropriate.
Avoid choosing products that overemphasize massage depth and strength, but choose products that better balance massage strength and comfort, otherwise although the force is too strong, it will hurt or hurt the muscles, resulting in difficult adaptation to the shoulder and neck, but the gains outweigh the losses.
3. The range of massage area is reasonable.
The massage range is related to the number of massage heads, the distribution of massage heads, and the traditional principle of massage heads, as far as possible to choose four massage heads and trapezoidal distribution can be pressed to the trapezius muscle, if the use of massage head distribution is concentrated, it will lead to a small range of massage area, and the massage effect is not good.
4. Choose a dual-motor motor system.
The motor is one of the core parts of the cervical massager, it is recommended to give preference to the dual motor instead of the single motor system, the dual motor can significantly reduce the load on the motor compared with the single motor to improve the kinetic energy utilization efficiency, the long-term use of the transmission attenuation degree is smaller, the use of strength stability is higher, the overall noise is also low.
5. Choose one with low noise.
Please try to choose a product with lower noise for cervical massager to give yourself a better feeling of use, and it is better to have a noise of less than 40 decibels. The noise is mainly related to the quality of the motor and the precision of the motor structure.
6. The number and distribution of massage heads should be reasonable.
The number of massage heads, the distribution of massage heads will directly affect the massage range, it is recommended to choose four massage heads as much as possible and trapezoidal distribution can be pressed to the trapezius muscle, if the distribution of the massage head used is concentrated, it will lead to a small range of massage area, and the massage effect is not good.
7. Choose the traditional physical kneading type.
Cervical massager has a variety of product forms, such as the basic current pulse type and the traditional physical kneading type, it is recommended to choose the traditional physical kneading type, the general acceptance of the Chinese people will be higher, the harm is relatively small, the current pulse most people can not accept its current stimulation, easy to damage muscles, nerves!
8. The first choice is to have excellent products with uniform adjustment of strength.
If you buy a product with uneven strength and transmission frequency caused by poor quality of the motor, it is easy to cause light and heavy damage to the muscles, and you will not be able to achieve the desired massage effect!
Based on the full text of popular science, everyone has a comprehensive and profound grasp of the benefits and harms of cervical massager. Nowadays, people use electronic products for a long time and sit for a long time, which puts a lot of pressure on the cervical spine, which can easily lead to discomfort such as pain and stiffness in the cervical spine. In order to alleviate muscle fatigue, you should choose a high-quality cervical massager that suits you in order to get a comfortable massage experience. Be wary of low-quality products without technical precipitation to avoid the risk of further deterioration of neck problems!
