There are many different massage devices on the market to treat stiff necks, sore backs and sore limbs.
Whether tapping or neck massagers - both provide freedom from pain and relaxation.
AllesBeste looked at 18 devices.
Tapping massagers massage by tapping quickly, the intensity of which varies greatly from device to device.
Few models are strong enough to relieve severe back pain.
If you apply additional pressure, you can increase the intensity of the massage if necessary, but then many models also start to stutter uncomfortably.
In addition, these models are difficult to operate alone for a back massage, so they should be operated by a second person.
The cable is often too short and in the test the attachments were found to be hard to scratchy.
The situation is different with
neck massagers
: You can simply flip them over, switch them on and then sit back and enjoy.
Balls are incorporated into these devices, which can rotate and change direction.
There are models with loops to hold or in pillow form.
With these devices, not only the neck, but also the back, shoulders, legs and feet can be massaged.
With many neck massage devices is also a
car
-
cable
included, so that they
in the car
can be used for example by the passenger.

Neck massagers in the test
The test portal AllesBeste has tested 18 neck massagers
. The
Beurer MG 510 To Go was
most convincing. The tapping massager consists of a practical handpiece and a removable holder for hard-to-reach parts of the body such as the back. The device can be used in mains or battery operation and impresses with great workmanship, five speed levels and four attachments.
Another recommendation is the
MunichSpring Optimus New Generation
: Thanks to its flexible shape, the massager to
wear around
the
neck
adapts to many parts of the body and can therefore be used in a variety of ways.
This model can also be used in mains and battery operation and it switches off automatically after 15 minutes.
In addition to a hygiene cloth, the accessories also include a car charging cable.
