massager

Vibrating muscle tool

A massager is a device or tool that kneads, vibrates, or applies pressure to muscles and soft tissue: She used a handheld massager on her sore shoulders.

Massagers range from simple manual rollers to electric devices with multiple settings.

The word can also mean a person who gives massages, though masseuse or massage therapist is more common for professionals.
