...According to a peer-reviewed article by osteopaths Dr. Marco Funiciello and Dr. Zinovy ​​Meyler, one of the best ways to relieve neck and shoulder pain is through massage therapy.

While visiting a massage therapist can be a relaxing experience, it can also be quite expensive.

So, if you don't have the time or money for a professional massage, investing in a portable neck massager for your home is a cost-effective alternative. These handy gadgets can knead out tight knots from your muscles and expertly melt away stress.

If you want to enhance your interior at the same time, you can also get a massage chair .

There are many types of neck massagers on the market, including portable handheld devices, devices that wrap around the neck, and manual massage rollers. Some have special features, such as adjustable heating controls that allow you to apply heat to painful areas, while others target specific pressure points to relieve neck pain.

These are the 5 best neck massagers to buy:

1. The popular wrap-around option: Naipo Deep Heat Back and Neck Massager - MGS-150DC

More than 24,000 reviewers on a well-known shopping portal have given this multifunctional massager for back, neck, and shoulders a five-star rating, and for good reason.

This model has three different intensity levels and a heat control panel.

Buyers also appreciate that you can adjust the direction in which the eight massage nodes move and that it is super quiet, allowing you to immerse yourself in deep relaxation.

"Very effective and pleasant," said one customer.

"I'm very satisfied with this product. For example, when I had lower back pain, I placed it at the back of my office chair and moved forward a bit, and I really enjoyed the massage. After the treatment, the pain was gone. It works like a foam roller, except I can continue working while I do it. It's also great for my neck and trapezius muscles if you hold it by the loops or let it glide slowly over your back. The heat function is powerful and can be turned off when needed. I'm glad I bought this device."

2. Outstanding ergonomic design: Naipo oCuddle C1 Adjustable Neck Massager

This ergonomically designed massager is highly adjustable.

You can adjust it to fit your body using the adjustable arm straps.

In addition to three massage speeds and two heat levels, the U-shaped massager has adjustable arm straps so it can be easily adjusted to different body sizes.

The soft and breathable material that covers the massage nodes is completely removable and easy to clean, allowing you to keep the device hygienic.

One buyer wrote:

"I'm really excited about this massager and can only recommend it. Comfortable and perfect for relaxation. This is my second massager. The workmanship is good. It's nice and robust and looks really classy and high-quality. I like the matching faux leather case, so it's easy to store (it wasn't included with my previous device). The matching cables in the same color also look great. Good idea."

Available to buy in the Naipo online shop.

3. The professional option: Cordless massage gun for deep tissue

According to various online buyers, our massage gun delivers a powerful deep tissue massage comparable to a visit to a chiropractor.

Not only does it weigh less than 3 kilos, but the handset's battery lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge.

The brushless motor is powerful and very quiet (under 43 dB). The massage gun comes with five different attachments to target different muscle groups with ease.

The device also comes in a practical carrying case, making it suitable for use on the go.

"I ordered the gun because of chronic back pain. And it's a blessing for me because it allows me to treat exactly the pain points!" wrote one customer.

"I don't exercise regularly, so I tend to get tense quite easily. This massage gun, however, relieves that tension immediately by targeting the muscles directly after exercise. The different attachments also allow for different types of therapy, and the muscles never get bored. I also find the different pressure intensities, which are well spaced apart, very pleasant. This allows you to set a strong or low intensity as needed. I can therefore highly recommend it."

Good to know: The Naipo massage gun is even used by riders for their horses. Read a review from a female rider here.

4. Our portable entry-level option: Shiatsu back and neck massage pillow

Thousands of customers of a well-known shopping portal love this portable massage pillow because it's compact enough to use anywhere - from long car rides to late nights at the office.

The optionally heated device is shaped like a pillow and uses four massage nodes to knead out tension and reduce muscle tension.

It comes with a car adapter for use in your car and has adjustable straps that allow you to easily attach it to any chair.

"Simply great, what more can I say?" enthuses one reviewer.

"I, an old office worker, tried out this magnificent device, and I'm thrilled. While I don't want to put the masseurs of the world out of work, it's a really nice alternative when you don't have time to go to a massage studio. It's so convenient to just turn the device on in the evening (e.g., while watching TV) and relax. As often as I turn it on in the evenings, you'd think the device and I have a more intimate relationship than my husband and I do :-D. Of course, it's no substitute for the gentle hands of a massager, but I personally like firm pressure massages, so this device is perfect for me. You can also regulate the speed yourself, which is convenient."

5. Latest model: Elegant Shiatsu massager for neck and back with battery - oCUDDLE P1

One of the newest and most sophisticated massage devices is the wireless neck massager oCuddle, which is ideal for home, office, or travel.

The device is designed to be worn around the neck, but can also be used on the back, legs, arms, or stomach. To relieve a stiff neck, simply place the device on the sore spot, loop the straps around your hands, and let the eight 3D massage nodes do their work.

The massager also features a heat therapy function, an easy-to-use control panel, and an automatic shut-off function, so you don't have to worry about leaving the device on. The device is a true Shiatsu all-rounder, as the clever fastening strap allows for hands-free use on certain parts of the body.

“Nice surprise,” enthused one buyer.

"This is a real lifesaver, especially if you have to sit or stand at work all day. The rollers are wonderful for kneading a tense neck or lower back after a long day. You can also heat the balls, so you don't miss out on colder days. At first, I was surprised that the cable was so short, but when I unplugged it, it surprisingly continued massaging—it has a battery, so it's portable. It's a really great thing."

The current model can be found in the Naipo online shop.
