A handheld massager for a tight neck and jaw

Hold it on the sore spot for 5 to 10 minutes. NOVAFON sends sound waves up to 6 cm into the muscle*, so it works on a neck or jaw too tender for a massage gun. Made in Germany.

Neck & shoulders

Neck and shoulder tension

Tightness at the base of the skull. Shoulders that never fully let go. When your neck is too tender to press on, a percussive massage gun is off the table.

How NOVAFON is used here

NOVAFON does not hammer like a massage gun. You hold the flat head still on the spot and it sends sound waves into the muscle, up to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm, so a sore neck can take it.

There are two speeds. 100 Hz is the faster one, 50 Hz the slower one. Start at 50 Hz on a tight neck and move up if you want more.

  • Faster setting100 Hz
  • Slower setting50 Hz
  • Head to useFlat plate
  • Typical session5–10 minutes
Back

Back tension

A lower back that stiffens after sitting. Knots between the shoulder blades you cannot reach on your own.

How NOVAFON is used here

On the large back muscles, start at the slower 50 Hz setting. Switch to 100 Hz for a brisker session.

The extension handle is what makes this practical on your own, reaching the middle of your back without a second person.

  • Slower setting50 Hz
  • Faster setting100 Hz
  • Head to useFlat plate or roller
  • Worth addingExtension handle, $35
Jaw

Jaw tension and clenching

Waking with a tight jaw. Grinding at night. Tension that settles into the temples. A massage gun cannot be used on a jaw. With NOVAFON you hold a small ball head on the chewing muscle at the side of the jaw. No pressing needed.

How NOVAFON is used here

This is also NOVAFON's most researched use: a 2020 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in Pain Research and Management examined local vibratory stimulation with a NOVAFON device for temporomandibular (jaw) muscle discomfort.

  • Setting50 Hz, low, up to 100 Hz
  • Head to useSmall ball
  • Typical session2–5 minutes per side
  • Bundle availableJaw Tension bundle
"I bought it to relieve the side effects of constantly clenching my jaw. I've been using it about a month and it really works. I use it every other night and focus it on my jaw and TMJ muscles and it completely relaxes them." Nicki T. — verified NOVAFON One buyer
Trigger points

Knots and trigger points

One spot that will not let go, however hard you press. A tapered or ball head focuses the sound waves on that one point instead of spreading them across the surface.

How NOVAFON is used here

The magnetic point head adds a 3,200 Gauss field at the same spot, for those who want it.

  • Setting100 Hz
  • Head to useBall or magnetic point
  • DepthUp to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm
  • Worth addingMagnetic point head, $57
Recovery

Circulation and muscle recovery

Legs that feel heavy after a long walk. Slow to bounce back after activity.

How NOVAFON is used here

Many people fold NOVAFON into a recovery routine: a higher 75 Hz setting to warm up beforehand, the slower 50 Hz afterward, worked across the larger muscle groups with the flat plate or roller.

  • Before activity75 Hz
  • After activity50 Hz
  • Head to useFlat plate or roller
  • Worth addingSensory roller set, $65
Face

Facial tension and glow

Tired, tense, puffy. Tension that settles into the jaw, brow and cheeks by the end of the day.

How NOVAFON is used here

NOVAFON One sends low-frequency sound waves (50 or 100 Hz) into the muscles of the jaw, brow and cheeks, where daily tension builds. You hold it on each spot; nothing taps or hammers. People also use it in the morning on a tired, puffy face.

You can use it over your usual serum or facial oil.

  • Setting50 or 100 Hz, low
  • Head to useFlat plate or ball head
  • DepthUp to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm
  • Worth addingSensory roller set, $65
