Massager finder: choose by body area and where you use it
A massager is a personal relaxation device, not a medical treatment. Picking the right type for where you feel tense means you will actually use it and not waste money. Answer the two questions below for the best group, then read three short sections on choosing and using one safely.
Where do you feel tense most often?
Where will you use it?
Each area suits a different type
- Neck and shoulders: a U-shaped wearable or a heated massage pillow. See neck and shoulder massagers.
- Back: a cushion that sits against a chair or car seat. See back massage pillows.
- Thighs and calves after training: a massage gun. See massage guns.
- Feet: a foot massager with air bags and rollers.
Who should ask a doctor first
General guidance from medical sources: if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, a heart condition, blood clots or varicose veins, take blood thinners, have severe osteoporosis or cancer, or have recently had surgery or an injury, ask your doctor before using a massager. Never massage over broken, swollen or hot skin or open wounds. More in who should not use a massager.
Short, gentle and regular
Start on the lowest setting, a few minutes per area; most devices auto-off after around 15 minutes. Do not fall asleep with heat switched on. Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain, numbness or dizziness. If pain lasts or keeps coming back, see a doctor rather than turning the device up.
