Promising review: "This was recommended by my masseuse and all I can say about this amazing massager is WOW! I am challenged with both spinal, cervical and lumbar stenosis, as well as thoracic osteo arthritis and the pain relief I feel using this massager is outstanding. I plan to make this the gift I give for all occasions." –Salligirl
Get it from Amazon for $39.96+ (available in four colors).
11. A Wahl handheld deep tissue massager that uses a variety of percussive intensities, as well as four detachable heads of your choosing to help smooth out all of the knots and kinks riddling your upper body.
Promising review: "I love the ability to hold this easily. I had suffered with a tension knot in my left shoulder/back area that was causing extreme pain. It was so bad that I was referred to physical therapy because it was pinching nerves and causing numbness and tingling down my left arm. I also had limited mobility with turning my head to the left. Four months of PT…minimal relief. Doctor recommended me to see specialist and have CT done. I decided to buy this massager after looking at reviews. Within ONE WEEK of using this daily and using muscle relaxer for three days, I had COMPLETE relief from that tension knot. This was the BEST investment." –Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $34.49.
12. A splurge-tacular full-body zero gravity shiatsu massage recliner ingeniously designed with a Bluetooth heated foot roller if you really want to treat yourself (just be prepared to set a chair-use schedule if you live with other people).
Here's to never needing to ask Dwight for another back massage!
