A back massager doesn't replace an appointment with a therapist, but it's there when tension strikes. Usually in the evening, usually after a long day at the desk. Here are the devices that reach the back, neck, and shoulders.
Which design for what. Shiatsu cushions work with rotating massage heads and fit into the back of an armchair or car seat, many of them with a heating function. Massage seat covers cover the entire length of the back and are suitable if it's not just one spot that hurts, but the entire back. Handheld devices can reach anywhere, even the shoulder, and require some arm strength.
What matters when buying. The weakest setting is more important than the strongest, because if you're tense, you start at the bottom. Also pay attention to the height adjustment of the massage heads: A device whose rollers work on the back of the head instead of the neck won't help anyone. Heat is pleasant, but it doesn't replace intensity.
Larger solutions for the whole body can be found among the massage chairs, while massage guns work with pinpoint accuracy. Which device is useful for which complaint can be found in the guide Which massage device for back pain.
