Focus on the upper trapezius muscles, just above the shoulders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shoulder and neck pain are related<\/strong> because they share some of the same muscles. When you strain your neck, you are also straining your shoulders.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use soft massage gun attachments<\/strong> to massage the neck and do it delicately.

That\u2019s a milestone that many full-sized massage guns we&#8217;ve tested are yet to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of the normal (boring) T-shape design, they chose to go with a <strong>slanted handle<\/strong>. All Ekrin devices have a slanted handle. But this one has a twist or two to go with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve noticed that the handle is longer and thinner. The length is beneficial for easily reaching your back, a feature we&#8217;ve appreciated in our trials, and the thinness is perfect for those with small hands (we voted it the <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-massage-gun-for-women\/\" class=\"ek-link\">best massage gun for women<\/a> for this reason).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just the handle; the power and performance aspects are great too. It has a 12mm amplitude and a stall force of <strong>up to 40lbs<\/strong>. That places it in the medium range category \u2013 within our recommended specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will not be too punchy or too vibrational. You can also rely on it when you need to massage your whole body. For neck and shoulder massage, you can glide it over, and it will do the job. The lowest speed is 2000RPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"8456\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 Touchsense control panel\" class=\"wp-image-8456\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Touchsense-control-panel-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"8453\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 lockable attachments\" class=\"wp-image-8453\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-lockable-attachments-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"8476\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 massager\" class=\"wp-image-8476\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-massager-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"8454\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 push and twist-attachment socket\" class=\"wp-image-8454\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-push-and-twist-attachment-socket-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Ekrin 365 on real pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We found it to be a quiet device \u2013 it only revs <strong>up to 62dB at top speed<\/strong>.

If you&#8217;re seeking a device specifically designed to massage your neck and aren&#8217;t concerned about the conventional massage gun, this is the massager we&#8217;d recommend from our trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a massage gun fan or have been following most of our <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/\" class=\"ek-link\">massage gun reviews<\/a>, the specs on this gun will sound outrageous. But let us tell you why we picked it for this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, we&#8217;ve found it to be a rather compact massage gun during our testing \u2013 it looks almost like a <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-mini-massage-gun-picks\/\" class=\"ek-link\">mini massage gun<\/a>, but the long handle might disqualify it from that category. It boasts a stylish and sleek design. In our hands, it&#8217;s light and gives off a very vibrational sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, it could be perhaps the best massage gun for neck and shoulder. Not because of the (somewhat outrageous) specs, but because the manufacturer added a twist to it, something we&#8217;ve appreciated in our hands-on experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, it\u2019s <strong>not a very aggressive massage gun<\/strong>, which would be perfect for neck and shoulder pain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second, the manufacturer says it <strong>mimics our body\u2019s natural rhythms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To quote <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/lyric-massager\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in

It\u2019s considered the entry-level Theragun, and based on our hands-on experience, we believe it would be effective for a neck and shoulder massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime is smaller than both Elite and Pro. It has a <strong>16mm amplitude<\/strong> and <strong>up to 30lbs. of stall force<\/strong>; good enough for the rest of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features we&#8217;ve noticed about Theragun Prime, compared to Theragun Mini, is the <strong>D-shape ergonomics<\/strong>.

If you have sensitive skin or if your neck is too painful, Theraguns may be too intensive for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can still use them with controlled pressure. Just gliding a Theragun over the back of the neck will do the trick. You can also use the special attachments that will be tender on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"15699\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun.jpg\" alt=\"Theragun Mini Neck Pain Massage Gun\" class=\"wp-image-15699\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Neck-Pain-massage-gun-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"15700\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun.jpg\" alt=\"Theragun Mini Shoulder Pain Massage Gun\" class=\"wp-image-15700\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/theragun-mini-Shoulder-Pain-massage-gun-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"15698\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain.jpg\" alt=\"Theragun Mini For Neck And Shoulder Pain\" class=\"wp-image-15698\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Theragun-mini-for-Neck-and-Shoulder-Pain-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The mini is a compact and very light massage gun.

Just to compare, the entry-level Theragun Prime is two times more expensive than the Opove M3 Pro \u2013 and in our testing, the Opove outperformed the Prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue we&#8217;ve noticed in our testing is that Theragun still hasn\u2019t addressed the noise issue in the Prime model \u2013 specifically, the rattling noise at the head of the massage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all have a <strong>1-year warranty<\/strong> apart from Theragun Pro, which is too expensive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theragun mini is a decent proposition for our case, but it\u2019s poorly equipped. You are better off <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/erkin-bantam\/?utm_source=massagegunadvice.com&amp;utm_campaign=bantam&amp;utm_content=best_neck\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">going with Ekrin Bantam<\/a> if you want a mini massage gun. The Bantam is lighter, smaller, and more powerful. It also has a soft ball attachment like Ekrin 365 (read our <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/ekrin-bantam-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Ekrin Bantam review here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our testing, the Lyric Massager has emerged as a reasonable alternative to the Theragun Mini, despite its radically different concept. However, since it is priced similarly to the Mini, many customers may opt for the latter device due to the more reputed brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-hypervolt-for-neck-and-shoulder\">Which Hypervolt for Neck and Shoulder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-editorskit-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns.jpg\" alt=\"all hypervolt massage guns\" class=\"wp-image-11189\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/all-hypervolt-massage-guns-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All Hypervolt massage guns (both first and second-generation).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hyperice Hypervolt<\/strong> is another big name in the industry, going <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/hypervolt-vs-theragun\/\" class=\"ek-link\">toe-to-toe with Theragun<\/a>.

It has about <strong>35lbs. of stall force<\/strong> \u2013 good enough for deep tissue massage, but behind the Opove.<br>However, compared to Opove M3 Pro, this device is very expensive.

That would mean that you would have to get a massage gun with<strong> high amplitude<\/strong>, <strong>enough stall force<\/strong>, and a <strong>reasonable percussion range<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, since the neck and shoulders do not have large muscles (for most people anyway, bodybuilders may disagree), the power in a massage gun isn\u2019t the primary consideration. That, in some way, is good news because a lot of devices can work here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But massage guns aren\u2019t toys, they are expensive gadgets to own. Our advice is that you should spend that money on something that will cover most bases \u2013 a device that can work effectively on most muscle groups (and for all types of bodies). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-massage-gun-brands\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Massage gun brands<\/a> approach this differently. Here\u2019s what you need to keep in mind as you look for a massage gun for neck and shoulder pain&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amplitude\">Amplitude<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-magad-more-box\">Also referred to as <em>stroke length<\/em>, it is <strong>how far the massage gun head moves back and forth<\/strong> during the percussions. In some cases, it dictates whether you can get a percussive therapy massage or vibrational therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main approaches here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High amplitude devices<\/strong>: we found that these devices derive their intensity from their harder punches. With their high stroke length (usually 14-16mm), they hit harder than devices with lower amplitudes, a sensation we could distinctly feel. However, they rev slower than their lower amplitude counterparts, something we noticed during our testing. <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/theragun-pro-vs-elite-vs-prime-vs-mini\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Theraguns<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/hypervolt-2-pro-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Hypervolt 2 Pro<\/a> are good examples of such devices that we&#8217;ve personally tried. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low amplitude devices<\/strong>: These get their intensity from the many percussions per minute. They have a medium to low amplitude (usually 10-13mm). We say a device has a low amplitude when its stroke length is 10mm or below (Lyric or <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/ekrin-bantam-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Ekrin Bantam<\/a>). A medium amplitude device has 10-13mm (The larger Ekrin devices, Hypervolt 1 and <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/hyperice-hypervolt-2-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Hypervolt 2<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>How does the amplitude play a part in choosing the right device for your neck and shoulders? Well, in some cases, it doesn\u2019t really matter what kind of amplitude you choose to go with. It all comes down to preference and <strong>how you feel during a massage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main thing to note here is the kind of massage therapy you are getting. High amplitude devices will give you a percussive massage, while the low amplitude devices will feel more vibrational.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to massage guns and would appreciate some guidance, we&#8217;d recommend the medium amplitude devices based on our personal experience. We&#8217;ve found these devices to be in what we like to call the \u201csweet spot.\u201d They don\u2019t hit too hard, but they\u2019re not too vibrational either, a balance we&#8217;ve appreciated during our trials.

This becomes particularly noticeable when you&#8217;re seeking a deep tissue massage \u2013 a sensation we&#8217;ve often experienced with medium amplitude guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much stall force does a device need to have to massage your neck effectively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;d say it doesn&#8217;t matter per se. You probably won\u2019t need to push the device hard against your neck and shoulder. For most people, <a aria-label=\"the neck (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/body\/21670-neck-muscles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">the neck<\/a> and shoulder area does not have a lot of muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized is-style-editorskit-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 pressure sensor\" class=\"wp-image-8460\" style=\"width:250px;height:250px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor.jpg 800w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-pressure-sensor-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We found Ekrin 365&#8217;s force meter helpful in controlling the pressure exerted on skin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This implies that even a device with <strong>15-20lbs. of stall force<\/strong>, based on our trials, will be sufficient to do the job. We&#8217;ve tested plenty of guns out there that offer at least that much stall force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, you will not only be looking for a device that can massage your neck and that\u2019s it. You want something that can work on the rest of your body too \u2013 a versatile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing, if you are an athlete or a gym rat, you will need a device to use after a workout. That\u2019s when stall force will really matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our testing and personal experience, we believe you should opt for a device that can deliver a little more than 15-20lbs. of stall force. To be more specific, we&#8217;d recommend a device with at least 30lbs. of stall force, based on our hands-on evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, you don\u2019t need too much stall force either. For instance, you don\u2019t need a <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/theragun-pro-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Theragun Pro<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/achedaway-pro-review-vs-theragun-hypervolt\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Achedaway Pro<\/a> (both 60lbs.) to massage your neck. A device with 30-40lbs. of stall force will be good enough in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The devices we&#8217;ve selected for our post, based on our <strong>personal experience and testing<\/strong>, have similar stall force. In our opinion, these devices also offer great value for your money, having tested their performance and durability ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"percussions-and-speeds\">Percussions and Speeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few points to note for percussions and speeds when you want the best massage gun for neck and shoulder pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In our testing, we&#8217;ve found that high amplitude devices typically have a percussion range of <strong>2300-2700RPM<\/strong>. This is a range we&#8217;ve personally experienced and measured during our product trials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low and medium amplitude devices have a percussion range of <strong>1800-3200RPM<\/strong>. However, there are a few that can do way more. For instance, <strong>Lyric revs up to 4600RPM<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s very vibrational. When you see a device that revs way above 3400RPM, it often means the manufacturer overstated the number, or the device has a stroke length less than 10mm (in this case, Lyric). Most brands would rather make a device that revs up to 3200RPM or make it a high amplitude gun. Anything else is usually overstated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it comes to speed setup, most devices we&#8217;ve tested have 3-6 speeds. Based on our personal experience, we prefer a setup of 4-5 speed gears. We&#8217;ve found that we can manage with 7 or 8, but not more. In our testing, we&#8217;ve encountered devices with a setup of 20-30 speeds, which, in our opinion, is more than anyone could realistically use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In our post about using <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/can-you-use-a-massage-gun-on-your-neck\/\" class=\"ek-link\">using massage guns for neck and shoulder pain<\/a>, we explained that it&#8217;s best to start with lower speed gears and massage as gently as possible. We&#8217;ve found that when massaging a painful area or sensitive skin, there&#8217;s no need to crank up the intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one more important note: some devices we\u2019ve tested, like the Theragun and Lyric, come with <strong>pre-programmed modes<\/strong> for massaging different body parts and <strong>guided routines<\/strong> to assist you. We&#8217;ve found these features to be especially useful during our trials, and we believe they offer significant value that you should take into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-criteria-to-take-into-account\">Other Criteria to Take Into Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some other aspects you may want to keep in mind when selecting a device for your neck and shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noise\">Noise<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The neck is too close to your ears, and most people would prefer something that isn\u2019t deafening. Most devices these days don\u2019t have a noise problem. However, we found some of them <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/quietest-massage-gun\/\" class=\"ek-link\">quieter than others<\/a> \u2013 we gave those priority here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-editorskit-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin 365 Noise level measurement\" class=\"wp-image-8464\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ekrin-365-Noise-level-measurement-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is how we measure massage guns&#8217; noise levels (device pictured: Ekrin 365).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ergonomics\">Ergonomics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>You will need a device that you can comfortably hold as you massage your upper back and the neck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands are innovative with their devices.
