If you’ve ever had a tension headache that started in your neck and crept up the back of your skull, you know how hard it is to shake. The Chirp Wheel XR 4” Neck Massager aims to help. It’s a small, firm wheel built to target the muscles at the base of your skull, and one chronic headache sufferer says it made their pain totally go away. Right now, it’s on sale for $23 — the lowest it has been all year.

The Chirp Wheel XR is a small, firm roller for tension that builds up in your neck and at the base of your skull. That area is a common trigger for tension headaches. The massager has two shaped nodes that sit just under your skull. You lie back and let your head’s weight press them into tight muscles, and Chirp says the pressure feels like a thumb working on a knot. A channel down the middle keeps the pressure on the muscles on either side of your spine instead of the spine itself.

I have a number of different products from Chirp — including this one. In addition to using this on my neck, I have also used it to roll out knots in my lower back and calves. Some reviewers also say it is great for foot pain and can help with plantar fasciitis. I like that the 4-inch wheel is small enough to keep by my bed or desk.
