What is the best massager to actually use to massage sore muscles?

Contributor: Ivy Wilde Ivy Wilde 06/08/2011

I was injured a while back and now my lower back, hip and thigh muscles tend to get very tight and painful. I was looking at various vibrators and noticed the massagers and that some people actually use them for massage as well using them for sexual stimulation. I was wondering which massager actually works the best on sore muscles.

I'm looking for something that really works for sore muscles as well as functioning as a sex toy.

Oops! Just noticed the InfraRed massager. Wish I had included that in the poll as well. Is there any way to add it? If not, just mention it as an "other". Thanks.

You'd probably want something with deep, intense vibrations, so I'd suggest the hitachi.

We love the WAHL for sore muscles. Sigel has horible problems with his knees, ankles and shoulders and the WAHL allows him to sleep peacefully and relieve pain quickly and easily.

I love my Hitachi and my Wahl, but I prefer the Wahl for sore muscles. It just seems like a more penetrating vibration. Plus, it has all those attachments for different areas of the body.

My vote goes to the Hitachi Magic Wand!

Thanks for all the feedback. It looks like the Hitachi Magic Wand is the most popular.

My professional physical therapist actually uses Hitachi on athletes with aches and pains. Always a deep massage...lasts forever. Accessories for "adult toy" use. Great quality.

I think the Hitachi which I use but it can feel heavy after awhile and I really can't work on my back with it.

I like both the Hitachi and the Fairy... I'd pick one of those.

I hate mine. It's way too strong and the heads are too big to really pinpoint. Maybe I'm just using it wrong? I'm pretty petite so I don't have a whole lot of surface area to work with.

I say the Hitachi but.. be careful. More times than not I ended up hurting myself even worse. The most terrible time was when I had some kind of muscle tenseness in my shoulder/neck so I ran it over with the Hitachi pretty good and it felt amazing, until 10 minutes later it felt 3 times worse. I went to bed and woke up the next morning paralyzed with pain. It was crazy. It took a week for me to get back to normal. So yeah, make sure not to aggravate any serious problems and all will be well

Yikes! I'll keep that in mind!

I love my Hitachi, but I have heard good things about the Fairy Massager being comparable to it as well.

The infrared is pretty good also. Check out my review link

Only complaint was that is was loud.

If it needs to be pulverized, the Hitachi will do nicely. If you need a specific spot massaged, I think the Wahl is actually better. Bit harder to hold, though.

The Mystic Wand is the only one I have, and it works nicely on my back/neck/shoulders.

I have the fairy mini wand massager, its a dream. It provides really strong stimulation for muscles and pleasures of another kind.

I have both the Hitachi and the Wahl 2-Speed, and I prefer the Wahl for muscle massage. It has a wide variety of attachments so you can choose the shape that's perfect for the body part you're trying to target - plus it's stronger and deeper than the Hitachi.
