Between the daily typing, iPhone tapping, boulder climbing and note scribbling, my hands hurt at the end of the day. For other people, those tired hands could be from drawing or crocheting, or ailments such as inflammation, carpal tunnel and joint pain. Luckily, we found a tech-y product that reviewers say grants that sweet rejuvenation we’re all looking for: an adjustable compression hand massager.
Aptly summed up by one reviewer as a “penetrating massage on your hand,” this gadget uses a combination of compression, vibration and heat to push, squeeze and warm those fingers and palms into relief. You just put your eft or right hand inside, select a mode and let it do its work while you kick back, relax and enjoy the ride. If that sounds like a dream at-home spa solution, well, guess what: You can get it today for under $40 at Amazon — 39% off its month ago price of $59.99 and dropping it to the lowest price of the year, according to our price trackers.
The handy (heh) device aims to relieve pain gently via compressions, tightening and loosening around hands. You can stick your left or right hand inside for a session, though, note, it only has enough space for one hand. Single glove-like fit aside, this massager has a heating function, two vibration modes, six intensities and six program modes to give you the exact relief you desire. Reviewers say it truly works at relieving pains from carpel tunnel and arthritis and joint pain.
“I have to say, it’s been fabulous,” says reviewer JJR. “Super easy to use. Charge it up, remove the charger, put your hand in and turn it on. It has multiple functions to adjust to whatever your particular need at the time. It does give a penetrating massage on your hand. I particularly like the massage it provides to the palm of my hand. I have a lot of scar tissue in my hand. Sometimes it tightens and is rather uncomfortable. Stretching helps, but this hand massager has done wonders.”
Relax those tired, achy hands, and grab this massaging device while its price is reduced. Read on for more promising reviews.
“I’ve been using this little jewel for several weeks. I wanted to make sure how it really worked before putting in a review. I have to say, it’s been fabulous. Super easy to use. Charge it up, remove the charger, put your hand in and turn it on. It has multiple functions to adjust to whatever your particular need at the time. It does give a penetrating massage on your hand. I particularly like the massage it provides to the palm of my hand. I have a lot of scar tissue in my hand. Sometimes it tightens and is rather uncomfortable. Stretching helps, but this hand massager has done wonders. It also has a heat function that has been beneficial. One thing, make sure to charge it fully and then remove the charger. Do not try to use it while plugged into the wall. If you have pain, numbness or issues with your hand, by all means, give this massager a try!” — JJR
“When I first unboxed it, I was surprised and impressed by its size and sturdy construction. After reading the directions, I cranked it up to the maximum: Mode P3 and Intensity L5. I realized very quickly, that setting was too much for me. After 2 weeks of trying out all the possibilities, I’m happy with P3 L3, for now. After the treatment, I must say that my 73 year old hands feel a new youthfulness. I use it at least 3 times a week on each hand and look forward to using it. Great product!” — Joe NYC
“I love this so much - I’ve been dealing carpal tunnel in my right hand/wrist and issues from compensating with the other one, and this helps so much. The variety of settings and ability to customize your experience are great. This far exceeded my expectations.” — Amanda Webb
“I had an accident and severed my median nerve in my wrist along with all the tendons and ligaments. I have had 3 surgeries including a nerve graft but still have no feeling in my first three fingers and will probably never get it back. I have very little strength. I have constant pain in my hand, mostly in the meat of the thumb. I was constantly rubbing this area to relieve the pain. This so far has made a world of difference. I use it 10 or 15 minutes and it relieves that pain for quite a while. Maybe 2 or 3 hours. Which for me, is a lot. Not sure how this would be for other issues, but this has become a great benefit for me.” — John Spags
“This is really nice. You can get part of your wrist too which is amazing. It uses air and the little knobby things to put pressure and squeeze out the tension. Has many options for harder or heat. It’s just really nice.” — B
