PalmKnead — the massager with hands
PalmKnead — the massager with hands
What this is, plainly
PalmKnead is a cordless kneading massager shaped like a hand. A silicone hand with five fingers and a separate thumb pad grips your neck or shoulder through a leather strap and kneads — the grip a person uses when they lean in with two hands. Two heated zones, buttons on the top.
It is not a medical device, not a treatment, and not a substitute for a doctor or a physiotherapist. If you have an injury, a nerve condition, or pain you have not had looked at, talk to someone qualified before using any massager.
Most shoulder gadgets vibrate. Vibration sits on the surface and buzzes. PalmKnead has fingers: they close on the trapezius while the thumb pad works one spot, which is why it feels like hands instead of a phone on a cushion.

Who it is for: people who sit at a desk or drive and carry it in their neck and shoulders. Who it is not for: anyone looking for treatment of a diagnosed condition — that is not what this is.
