Neck & Shoulder Kneading Massager — Dual-Zone Heat

Most neck massagers ask you to hold them in place. This one hangs over the shoulders on a leather strap and stays there, so your hands are free while it works. Two sets of soft silicone fingers knead from either side the way a thumb would, and a heated pad under each one warms the muscle while it does.

What stands out

• Five-finger kneading on each side — the heads press and release rather than just vibrate
• Dual-zone heat: a warm pad on each side, held at a constant temperature
• Food-grade silicone heads, soft enough to sit against bare skin
• A soft leather strap holds it on the shoulders, so nothing has to be held up
• LED display for the mode and the level
• Cordless and rechargeable — use it at a desk, on the sofa, or in the car

Not only for the neck

• Shoulders and upper back
• Lower back and waist
• Calves and thighs — put something soft underneath so the back of the unit is not scuffed
• Arms

Getting the most from it

• Ten to fifteen minutes at a time is enough; longer is not better with a kneading head
• Warm the muscle on a low setting first, then raise it — going straight to the strongest mode on a stiff neck is what makes people put these away
• Not for use over injured, inflamed or numb skin, and not while driving
