Finally, a Pocket Sized Tool Designed for Jaw and Neck Tension

How Pocket Physio makes self-care, possible in the most sensitive areas

Jaw tightness. Neck tension. Clenching. The feeling of carrying your entire day in the small muscles around your face and upper neck.

For many people, this tightness builds quietly through stress, long hours at a desk, concentration, clenching without noticing, or simply living a busy life. 

As a physiotherapist with more than twenty years of experience I created Pocket Physio because I kept seeing the same problem. People wanted comfort between appointments. They wanted something they could use at home for the areas that feel tight yet sensitive. The problem was simple. There was no tool on the market that was small, soft and precise enough to feel comfortable on the jaw and upper neck.

Pocket Physio was created to fill that gap.

Why Jaw and Neck Tightness Is So Hard to Manage On Your Own

Most people try to release these areas with their fingers, but it is hard to achieve good result on your own. The pressure is often excruciatingly painful and never feels quite right. The area is delicate and many cannot tolerate more pain through treatment leaving them without self-care options.

Most massagers are not designed by a health professional, they do not have the right vibration frequency to actually create relaxation in the muscle. Vibration works via calming the nervous system - it's more than just a massage. It's a safety message to your system, allowing it to relax and downregulate tension. 

Regular massagers are designed for large muscle groups and are therefore far too intense. They use percussion and often market it as vibration. Percussion is an in-and-out movement, more like a physical pounding of the muscle. 

Below are the main reasons people struggle with these regions.

The jaw is compact and strong & clenching is often related to stress

The masseter and surrounding muscles are extremely powerful yet located in a very small space. self-care

The neck contains delicate structures

This area requires a gentle approach. Larger massage tools feel overwhelming or uncomfortable.

Precision matters more than pressure

The most effective self-care for this area comes from accuracy, a calibrated frequency and small controlled contact, not from force. 

Existing devices are too big or too intense and cannot be brought along.

Massage guns are fantastic for backs and legs, but not for a two-centimetre space near the jaw. JAw massagers are often unprecise due to their shape and as said they are massagers and not vibration devices.

This leaves people without a practical way to soften the tightness they feel day after day. They needed something they can use when stress builds during the day to stop the tension.

Physiotherapists Have Used Vibration For Years But It Was Never Available In This Format

In a clinic setting vibration is used as a technique to help muscles relax and soften before hands on work or exercise rehab. It is gentle and relaxes muscles and it allows people to feel less guarded and move with more ease. I always recommend movement after vibration. It reinforces the safety message to your nervous system teaching it that it can relax long term. 

The main issues I saw:

• No medical vibration device available.
• No good options for the jaw. 
• No good option for the neck.
• No option with a precise contact point required for these areas.
• None were small enough to be carried along anywhere.

There was a clear gap in the market. There was nothing available that was small, gentle, precise and based on the same vibration principles used in physiotherapy for comfort.

Pocket Physio was created to fill that need. It brings clinical inspired vibration into a tool that fits in the palm of your hand.

What Makes Pocket Physio Different

Pocket Physio is a thumb-sized vibration device designed for people who feel jaw tension, neck tightness or clenching. It supports self-care in the exact areas where traditional devices do not work.

Pocket sized precision

At just over nine centimetres Pocket Physio reaches the curves and angles around the jaw and neck that are impossible to access with larger massagers. Shaped like a thumb, a physio'sself-care number one work tool.

Gentle vibration inspired by physiotherapy principles

This is controlled vibration that feels soothing rather than forceful. It supports a calming sensation for tight or overworked muscles.

Appropriate for small and sensitive regions

The small contact point gives you the ability to explore these areas slowly and safely without overwhelming them.

Designed for real life tension patterns

If you clench during the day concentrate for long periods work at a desk or grind at night you will recognise how tight these areas can feel. Pocket Physio gives you a practical way to care for these regions in daily life.

Pocket Physio does not replace physiotherapy or assessment. It gives you a way to look after these areas between appointments and makes consistent self care achievable.

Self-Care

The world did not need another massage gun. It needed something people could comfortably use on the areas that feel tight yet sensitive.

It needed a oscillation vibration device with the right frequency.
It needed something that could reach the jaw.
It needed something precise enough for the neck.
It needed something gentle enough for everyday use.

Pocket Physio is the first device of its kind. A tiny clinical-inspired vibration tool designed specifically for the areas that other devices cannot reach.

If a physiotherapist could shrink their thumb, add calibrated vibration and send it home with you this is what it would look like.
