Local vibration therapy for the aches you can point to

German-engineered local vibration devices that use sound wave technology to work up to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm below the surface — gentle enough for a neck, jaw, or hand that is too sensitive for a percussive massage gun.

See what it helps with
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 vibrates instead of hammering, sending gentle sound waves into the muscle up to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm, so you can work a sensitive area comfortably.

The 100 Hz setting gives a livelier, more stimulating sensation. 50 Hz is a deeper, slower hum that many people find relaxing on tight muscles.

  • Livelier setting100 Hz
  • Relaxing 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

Large muscle groups tend to respond well to the deeper 50 Hz setting, while 100 Hz gives a more stimulating sensation.

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

  • Deeper setting50 Hz
  • Livelier 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. The jaw is the clearest case where a percussive device simply cannot be used. NOVAFON's gentle vibration lets you work along the masseter with a small ball head, no pressure required.

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 intensity, working up to 100 Hz
  • Head to useSmall ball
  • Typical session2–5 minutes per side
  • Bundle availableJaw Tension bundle
I have used it on my very tense jaw muscles (I grind my teeth). It is very comfortable and relaxing. I use it regularly. User S. — Google product review
Trigger points

Knots and trigger points

One spot that will not let go, however hard you press. A tapered or ball head concentrates the vibration into a single point and carries it downward, instead of spreading it 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, a gentler 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 uses gentle, low-frequency vibration (50–100 Hz), not percussion, to help relax the muscles of the jaw, brow, and cheeks where daily tension builds. That same soft vibration supports local circulation for a fresh, awake glow and helps de-puff by encouraging lymphatic movement.

Glide it over your serum or facial oil and it also works your skincare more evenly into the skin, so a few minutes a day does double duty.

  • Setting50–100 Hz at a comfortable vibration level
  • Head to useFlat plate or ball head
  • DepthUp to a manufacturer-reported 6 cm
  • Worth addingSensory roller set, $65
The range

Three devices

All made in Germany. All use the same vertical sound wave technology. The difference is how many frequencies you get and how much you can fine-tune.
