Why a Neck Massager – 3 Good Reasons
Sick of the neck pain? Don’t have the time to visit a therapist for your neck? Then why not buy a homedics shiatsu neck massager with heat to ease the pain and soreness. With today’s machines, it is easy to take it around with you, and best of all, it has therapeutic values. Here are 3 good reasons to try them-
1. “Instead of trying to mask the pain, massage therapy gets the root of the problem – your neck muscles. Even if you see a chiropractor and you feel better after you get an adjustment, your spine is still attached to muscles, which pull the bones in the wrong direction. Think of your neck muscles as being like a rubber band. You can stretch it and stretch it, but it will always snap back to its original shape. Massage therapy changes the way your neck muscles behave by stretching and smoothing them out. This helps the muscles relax and return to the natural position in the body, without all the knots and strains that cause neck pain. Not only do the muscles in your neck relax, it helps your entire body to relax, alleviating the pain. It helps to go to massage therapy on a regular basis so that the muscles will get used to being relaxed.” – portion of article from ezinearticles, Tim Dobbs
2. “Shiatsu is defined literally as “finger pressure”. In Shiatsu massage, other body parts are used. Elbows, knees, and knuckles apply pressure to specific meridian points all over the body. Meridians are nerve intersections called acupressure points. The Shiatsu massage therapist determines specific meridians that block the normal flow of energy throughout the body. These points are pressed upon and then released. The result can be an unblocking of the energy, allowing it to flow more freely resulting in a healthier body.” – portion of article from ezinearticles, Jiami Mills
3. “A neck roll pillow can be made of the same traditional materials as ordinary pillows. There are pillows made of polyester and fiber fill. But a good pillow can be made of sturdier materials that are better tailored to providing support and relaxation for your spine. Some are made of memory foam, which contours to the shape of your neck without losing its support. Some come with an inflatable mechanism so that you can increase or decrease pressure.” – portion of article from ezinearticles, Jim Moser
