Neck Massagers."Neck massagers are a helpful product if advised by a fully trained professional - but
I have seen many damaged muscles and ligaments arise from the inappropriate use of neck massagers."
Although it is true to say that I have never seen anyone who uses a neck massager have a fatal result to their health through its use! - I have seen many damaged muscles and ligaments arise from the inappropriate use of neck massagers. Muscles in your neck become tight and produce neck pain for a reason. If the source of the tightness and pain is not treated, then treating the tight and painful areas alone may do more harm than good. 
I use the example of a punctured wheel on a bicycle. If the cause of the puncture is, for example, a sharp stone in the rim of the tyre and it
is not removed, then repairing the puncture will not resolve the problem. A few miles of cycling later, and your tyre will be punctured all over again.
Commonly, neck pain is associated with tight muscles. This tightening is usually your body’s protective response to your initial neck pain, and aims to stop you from causing further damage by moving your neck excessively. In this situation, using a neck massager to release the tightened muscle may have a negative effect. A physiotherapist will advise you if you are doing the right thing by using your neck massager. In most cases the professional will remove the cause of your neck pain using mobilisation and neck pain exercises. Subsequent to this - use of a neck massager might be advised, but in a very specific manner and only on specific muscles. 
But remember, the right advice is important to reduce the risks of further damaging your neck as well as to facilitate your speedy recovery.
Seek a physiotherapist's advice before you start to use your neck massager at home.
Finally, the quality of your neck massager is also important. It must not be too strong or too weak. You must ask a medical professional about the type of product suitable for your neck complaint.
