DEVICES FOR

VIBRATION MASSAGE
SELF-MASSAGE TO VOCAL FREEDOM

Hi, in this video, let me talk about vibration massage and appropriate devices to use for massaging your neck,
head and shoulders. Vibrations are relaxing for many people. They provide new or unusual sensations that may be
in direct contrast to the feeling of stiffness and tension. It is important to provide the muscles with the right
amount of vibrations. If you apply a high amplitude of vibrations, the muscles will protect themselves by
contracting, which is the opposite of what we want to achieve. However, if the amplitude is too low, there will be
no or little benefit. So, I recommend to start small and add more vibrations if you can tolerate it.
 
I am going to show you a couple of devices that I like to use. They are relatively cheap but they can do the job
well. However, if you already have a device at home, use it if appropriate. I suggest that you look for devices that
have a small amplitude of vibration because the muscles of the head, neck and shoulders are relatively small
muscles that do not require a big input. Devices, which can adjust the amplitude of vibrations are preferable. If
you have a massager with only one speed, you can dampen the vibrations by placing your hand between the
massager and the treated area.
 
Here are a few suggestions of devices to use for vibration massage: 
The Mini Penguin Massager: This is a cheap option. Most suitable for slightly bigger muscles, like the trapezius
muscles. The surface of this massager is hard, which may not be suitable for some people or some
areas. It has two settings; they are both relatively strong but you can dampen the amplitude by placing your hand
between the massager and the skin. It’s battery operated. One trick that may decrease the amplitude of vibrations
is to use weak or old batteries.
 
Sonic Face Cleanser and Massager: This is another relatively cheap option. There are better versions of this
device available on the market now. This particular device is flat and broad, which is good for some muscle
groups. Newer devices are more pointy and slimmer, which can be also good for some muscles groups. The
surface is soft made of silicon. It has several speed settings, easily adjustable by pressing the "+" or "-" keys. This
device does not require batteries, it is rechargeable and comes with a charger.
 
Durex Vibrating Bullet: Finally, here is another option. I found this one in a local drug store but you can find it on
the amazon sites too. It is actually a sex toy, a vibrator. It is small and has one speed. It is pointy, which may be
good for precise placing of the device on small muscles. The surface is made of silicon but it’s relatively hard. It’s
battery operated and it will do the job just fine.

So, I just introduced three good options but you can experiment and find a device that works for you. Just make
sure that the amplitude of vibrations is low enough so that your small muscles don’t get overwhelmed. I highly
recommend that review the instruction manual associated with any particular device you wish to use, and notice
the instructions and warnings provided by the supplier of the device.
