The Beurer MG-40 is a handheld infrared massager that combines soothing vibration massage with optional infrared heat therapy. Designed for use on the back, neck, arms, and legs, its ergonomic form fits naturally in the hand while the 3-way adjustable handle and 180° rotating massage head allow it to reach areas — particularly the back — that straight-handled massagers cannot address comfortably.
The vibration massage provides gentle stimulation across soft tissue to help relieve everyday muscle tension and fatigue. Activating the infrared heat adds therapeutic depth to the treatment — infrared light penetrates the upper layers of tissue to warm muscles from within, promoting circulation and further easing tension. Three function levels allow selection between vibration only, infrared heat only, or vibration combined with infrared heat.
Four interchangeable massage attachments — two nub attachments, one brush attachment, and one cone-shaped attachment — allow the massage to be tailored to different areas and tissue types. The ergonomic design sits comfortably in the hand during use. Mains-operated at 12 watts via Euro plug. Weight: 660 g. Backed by a 3-year Beurer guarantee.
Why Choose Beurer Infrared Massager
- Optional Infrared Heat: Infrared light penetrates soft tissue to warm muscles directly, improving local circulation and relieving tension more deeply than vibration alone.
- 3 Function Levels: Vibration massage only; infrared heat only; vibration massage combined with infrared heat — choose the combination that suits each session.
- 3-Way Adjustable Handle: The handle articulates in three positions, allowing the massager to be held at different angles for comfortable application to hard-to-reach areas including the back.
- 180° Rotating Massage Head: The head rotates freely, letting you redirect the massage attachment without repositioning your grip.
- 4 Interchangeable Attachments: Two nub attachments for targeted spot massage; one brush attachment for stimulating the skin surface; one cone-shaped attachment for more concentrated pressure on smaller areas.
- Ergonomic Design: Shaped to sit naturally and securely in the hand for controlled, fatigue-free application.
- Lightweight at 660 g: Easy to handle and manoeuvre across different body areas without arm fatigue.
- Mains-Operated: Consistent 12-watt power without batteries to replace.

Massage Attachment Guide
| Nub Attachment (×2) | Targeted trigger point massage on specific areas of tension. The rounded nubs focus pressure onto defined spots such as shoulder knots or calf tightness. |
| Brush Attachment | Broader surface stimulation — suitable for stimulating the skin and superficial tissue, and for a gentler overall massage experience. |
| Cone-Shaped Attachment | More concentrated tip for localised pressure on smaller, more defined areas of tightness. |
Usage Instructions
- Select and attach the appropriate massage head for the target area. Press the attachment firmly onto the massager head to secure it.
- Adjust the handle to the desired angle using the 3-way adjustment — choose the position that gives you the most comfortable grip for the target body area.
- If necessary, rotate the massage head to the best angle for the area being treated.
- Connect the mains cable to a power outlet.
- Use the function switch to select your preferred level: vibration only, infrared heat only, or vibration combined with infrared heat.
- Apply the massager gently to the target area — back, neck, arm, or leg. Move slowly and allow the vibration to work through the tissue. Do not press hard.
- For infrared heat, allow 1–2 minutes for the heat to build before applying to the skin.
- Limit sessions to a comfortable duration — typically 10–15 minutes per area. Switch off and unplug after use.
Care Instructions
- Switch off and unplug before removing or changing attachments.
- Wipe the massager body and attachments with a soft, lightly damp cloth after use. Do not submerge in water.
- Allow the device to cool before storing if the infrared function has been active.
- Store the mains cable loosely — do not wrap tightly around the device body.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Inspect the cable and attachments before each use for signs of wear or damage.

- Do not apply directly over the spine or bony prominences with firm pressure.
- Do not look directly into the infrared light source.
- Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have a pacemaker, implanted electronic device, active tumour, circulatory disorders, thrombosis, or are pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between vibration massage and infrared heat on the MG-40?
The vibration massage delivers mechanical stimulation through rapid oscillation — helping to loosen superficial muscle tension, improve surface circulation, and provide a soothing tactile sensation. The infrared heat works by emitting near-infrared light that penetrates into soft tissue, warming the muscle from within to relax deeper fibres, reduce stiffness, and improve local blood flow. Used together, the two functions complement each other for a more comprehensive treatment.
Why does the MG-40 have a 3-way adjustable handle?
The 3-way handle allows you to change the angle of the massager body relative to the grip, making it much easier to reach the back without straining your wrist or arm. By adjusting the handle to different positions, you can apply the massage head comfortably to areas that are difficult to reach with a straight-handled device.
Does the MG-40 have an automatic switch-off?
No. The MG-40 does not have an automatic switch-off function. You must switch the device off manually after each session and unplug from the mains when not in use. Do not leave the device running unattended.
How does the MG-40 compare to the MG-70 and MG-80?
The MG-40 is a 12-watt vibration massager with optional infrared heat, 4 attachments, and a 3-way adjustable handle — the entry-level model in Beurer’s infrared massager range. The MG-70 is an infrared tapping massager (not vibration) with a continuously adjustable intensity and removable handle. The MG-80 is a more powerful double-head tapping massager at 35 watts with continuously adjustable intensity and 2 function levels. The MG-40 is best suited for everyday relaxation; the MG-70 and MG-80 deliver a more penetrating tapping massage for deeper muscle work.
Is the MG-40 safe to use on the back?
Yes. The 3-way adjustable handle and 180° rotating head are specifically designed to make the MG-40 accessible for self-application on the back. Position the handle so the massager head can reach the target area comfortably without awkward wrist positions. Always keep the massage heads away from the spine itself — treat the muscles either side of the spinal column only.
Which attachment should I use for tight shoulder muscles?
For tight shoulder muscles, the nub attachment is the most effective starting point — it focuses pressure onto the specific tension points in the trapezius and surrounding muscles. If you want a broader, more relaxing sensation across the shoulder area, the brush attachment is a good alternative.
