Why we love this deal

There's nothing quite like the feeling of a massage when you're suffering from body aches and pains. Strenuous exercise, poor sleep habits, stress, and chronic conditions can all contribute to muscle fatigue and soreness, and a proper massage can easily alleviate the irritation and pain that comes from that. Although not everyone has the money to budget for a one-hour session with a professional, these days the market is flooded with a lot of great and effective at-home solutions, so both you and your wallet can feel good.

The Alljoy Neck and Shoulder Massager is a hands-free device that's praised for its exceptional quality and ease of use, and right now it's only $38 at Walmart.

Why do shoppers love it?

The battery-powered, cordless massager is designed to sit around the neck area, but can be used to apply soothing pressure to the lower back, waist, thigh, and leg areas. With four massage heads, it uses upwards and downwards pressure to mimic the effects of a deep tissue massage by a real masseuse. The silicone rubber-covered massage head also provides relief and is actually softer than the traditional metal massage head that competing products typically have. Use the heating function, which goes up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, to further target tense muscles and reduce inflammation.

Although the lightweight machine is hands-free and can sit securely on the neck or any other area with a buckle, you can put your arms and hands through the attached straps on the sides of the massager to pull down and apply more pressure if you so desire. These straps are also where you will find the control buttons to turn on the heating function, set a timer that will automatically turn the massager off after a certain point, and adjust the intensity of pressure.

Equipped with a rechargeable 2500 milliampere-hour lithium-ion battery, the massager can run up to 120 minutes at a time before needing another charge. To do so, simply use the included USB Type-C power cable. A full charge typically takes about three hours to complete.

Shoppers find it to be the perfect solution when they can't afford to go to a professional for a massage. One called it a "blessing" for helping sore and painful places on their body. Others appreciate the deep pressure technology that isn't unnecessarily rough. "It can put me to sleep," another wrote.
