Customers say
Customers find the massager effective at relieving neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, and appreciate that it can massage almost any part of the body.
My primary care doctor recommended this product for my husband who has having neck pain. Im so glad we found this! It works a lot of pressure into the neck and provides comfort and relief. It has a warming feature and different modes to satisfy the need. It works so well I am purchasing two more as christmas presents for relatives. Read more
I've seen these advertised before always thought they had to be an expensive gimmick couldn't really see how it could work well. Recently did something to my neck and out of desperation decided to try one. I picked this unit because of the large number of reviews and the fact that they actually list their warranty policies and offer an extended warranty for a decent price. I started out looking at battery units but they are pricey especially if you want one with heat functions, this unit is made cordless for about twenty dollars more which isn't bad but I still went with the corded one for the first purchase just because power isn't particularly an issue where I want to use this (outlets are accessible). Setup is nothing you get the unit, an AC adapter and a DC 12v adapter is also included. You plug the cable into the bottom of the unit left side then plug into the power source. The correct orientation is curved spot up with the controls on the left side. I like the design that you put your arms through the loops, and this allows you to control the intensity of the massage somewhat and move it around a small amount. MY ONLY SMALL COMPLAINT with the unit is that the HEAT button should illuminate when it's activated if they ever redesign their powered unit I'd suggest they make that change. Might also be nice to illuminate the intensity button when it's on high as well. I was very pleasantly surprised how well this thing works and it feels great. I was a little reluctant to lay back in my chair with it under my neck but that works good too no shutting off for too much weight on the fingers etc. I've used this twice since I took it out of the box the fifteen minute timer works fine if you want more press the power button again. It also has over heat protection according to the book. If it gets too hot just let it cool down and it will start to function again. I don't find the heat really hot just a nice warm temperature but I realize everyone might have a different idea of what's too warm. I love this thing. I did pay for the five dollar warranty which I think is worth it for something like this. More info to come. Thanks guys for a great product. I would suggest using the included soft fabric cover. The nylon fabric over the fingers tends to get a tad abrasive if you use it a long time, the soft cover reduces that somewhat. One other suggestion for making a great product better might be adding heat only with no or very low (vibrate) massage function. Read more
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I had a very tight neck and back muscle, so I needed something to try and help relive the tightness. It does get into the muscles and have a heat option which is nice. It is easy to use with placing it on your back or neck and putting your hands into the straps. This way you can control how much pressure to apply. If your muscles are super tight or sore, go lightly. Your muscles will let you know if you can apply more pressure or not. It's about gently working out the tightness and knots and not about putting as much pressure as you can. You can keep the massager in one spot, or you can move it around your neck and different areas of your back very easily. It is easy to use, just attach the power cord to the massager and turn it on. You can adjust which direction the massage balls turn, and you can adjust the speed. You also have the option of putting on the heat which does help a lot. It is a gentle heat. The unit will shut off after about 15 minutes. It does take a bit of getting use to using a massager like this or any other type of massager to your muscles. You will feel some soreness or areas that it might be more sensitive to having the massager on it. Again, stick with it and just use light pressure. Those muscles can be very tight, and they will take some time to loosen up. This is also good if you worked outside and did too much, lifted something heavy, had a hard workout session or sat at the computer too long. This will be a great product to have to help give you some relief. Read more
