How to Choose the Right Hand Held Massager for You
The 2023 market research survey results showed that about 65% of the people did not achieve the expected results from the purchased devices since massage product features and user needs are not understood. As a result, the frequency of massage device usage was reduced by 35%. For this reason, the essential first step in choosing a handheld massager is to clarify your needs. Therefore, you need to combine your needs with different massage types and functional configurations and choose the massager that is right for you in a professional massager.
The purpose of this guide is to clarify how different massage types and functional configurations affect the user experience. By specifying the needs of different muscles, you can choose a multifunctional massager suitable for daily use more intuitively.
Clearly Define the Purpose

Back and Thighs The back and thigh muscles are large muscle groups that tend to be more tightly wound from sitting a lot or having exercise-induced soreness. High-impact force is recommended for these areas. The medical institution conducted clinical trials on high-frequency vibration devices on large muscle groups; the results showed that muscle tension can be completely relieved, and muscle recovery speed has increased by 40%. Neck and Shoulders The Neck and Shoulder muscles are tender and often seem sore due to work pressure or poor posture. The neck and caregiver muscles need a gentle fascia-massage-gun. A fitness institution’s study shows that using a U-shaped massage head to relax the neck and shoulders will feel 25% better than a traditional round firm massage head. It suits workers or those people who often have long hours at their desks, and their necks and shoulders get tensed easily. |

Arms and Calves Although these are small muscle groups, they also require precise massaging. The muscles of the arms and calves can be accurately stressed using the pointed or cone-shaped heads provided by the ABEGET device series, which penetrates the muscle and responds to local tension. Calf muscles are often too tight, and arm muscles can be too stiff, so high-frequency vibration at 3200 times per minute can relax and soften the muscles and improve blood circulation in the specific area. Lower Back This is an essential part of the body because when sedentary or daunting tasks are done, discomfort naturally occurs. With the help of a sports magazine report, proved that using a wide head to press and rub the lower back is highly effective, and muscle stiffness may be eliminated 20 min after rubbing. The muscle tension in the lower back can be alleviated, and it flexes and moves easily throughout the day. |
Choose the Right Type of Massager
Vibration Massage
Vibration massage mainly targets superficial muscles, promoting blood circulation and relaxing tense muscles through high-frequency vibrations. Long-term vibration massage helps reduce fatigue, especially for white-collar workers who use computers for a long time, and the relaxation effect of their shoulder and neck muscles is 30% higher than that of traditional massage.
Impact Massage
Impact massage targets deep muscles and is suitable for use after high-intensity exercise. Compared with vibration massage which only acts on superficial muscles, the deep penetration of impact massage can promote muscle recovery faster, and muscle tension can be reduced by 35% after just 10 minutes of use.
Hot and Cold Massage
Hot compress heats up to 113°F in 2 seconds and is mainly used to promote blood circulation in muscles and soft tissues and accelerate the recovery process. The cold compress mode can quickly cool down, reducing the temperature to 55°F in 2 seconds, reducing swelling and local inflammation.
The hot and cold compress massager combines hot and cold compresses in one, and users can adjust the temperature of hot and cold compresses to provide personalized physical therapy for different symptoms. After using the hot and cold compress function for one month, 80% of users reported a 40% increase in satisfaction with daily pain management and a 25% decrease in pain frequency.
Main Functional Configurations

Battery Life The internal battery life, directly related to the using frequency, has a great impact on user’s using experience. According to the user research, the typical using frequency is 15 minutes per day. Under this condition, charging the battery once a week is qualified for the daily demand, which will bring great convenience and efficiency. Weight & Portability Using the massage device, especially for a long time will induce muscle fatigue. The design of weight reduction will effectively help improve the fatigue. According to the user report, the devices which weigh below 4 pounds, compare to the others, effectively help reduce muscle fatigue by 35% for users, are more suitable for customers who need long-time operation. |

Noise Control Noise is a significant factor related to the human experience, especially for those who use the massager indoor. Massagers with noise levels below 50 decibels are 20% more favored by users compared to those with noise levels above 60 decibels, making them particularly suitable for use in quiet environments. Adjustable Speed & Massage Heads Speed and heads adjustments are designed to meet different scenarios and needs. Different professional massage accessories are driven at different vibration rates which are suitable for different muscle parts，back muscle needs a higher frequency rate, neck and shoulder areas are more suitable for low frequencies, customers can adjust as per their own needs. |
