Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager with Soothing Heat, Electric Deep Tissue 3D Kneading Massage for Shoulder, Leg, Body Muscle Pain Relief, Home, Office, and Car

The more you allow your arms to rest and pull down on the massager the deeper you will get massaged. The heat works well and it feels relatively well made. The design is comfortable though it would be nice if the straps were adjustable as I'm just shy of 6 foot and the loops for your arms a little short. And the buttons to adjust things are kinda hard to see without cranking your neck which youre massaging to improve comfort! All-in-all it's easy enough to use and it absolutely helps loosen up stress and tension in the neck and upper shoulders. I havent tried it too much on the back, but its designed in a way to absolutely be effective in allow you to hold it to different areas similarly to the base setup upon your neck/upper-back.

This isn’t at all what I expected from a shiatsu massager. Most I’ve tried in the past felt like I was being pummeled, but this one delivers strong pressure without being harsh. The massage effectiveness is impressive, and the vibration level and heat make it even better.I use it about three to four times a week, and it’s made a real difference in how my neck, shoulders, and upper back feel. The hand supports help you adjust where you place them, and the buttons located on the side of the unit allow you to easily adjust the intensity. The whole thing is simple to use. The quality of the massage is honestly amazing. It’s even been helping with my musculoskeletal vertigo, which I didn’t expect.

MY USE CASEI'm a practitioner of trigger point therapy after years of outdoor work that led to overuse injuries & a body literally full of knotted muscles, from the small musckes im my hands & feet, to the large muscles in my back & legs.The "percussion"style devices (like "message guns") are extremely uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time as they vibrate the skin until it's sensitove & itchy.As an alternative for DIY therapy, I use this device on my:- neck- back- leg- arms- hands- feetPROS- Excellent shape of the nobs--they feel amazing when you get them in the right position- Adjustable speed- Comfortable ammount of heat for 15 minutes (I always turn this off since the nobs warm up just fine from body heat during extended use)CONS- automatically turns off every 15 minutes- automatically changes the direction of rotation every 1 minute (initially helps discover what direcrion works best on different muscles, but gets annoying fast once you know what works best for you)- It always turns on w/ the default settings, instead of the last settings you used.Gets very annoying adjusting settings everytime you're going to use it, or every 15 mins im it turns off--especially if you're like me & always use the same settings- The shape of the device is very unstable unless you:1) hold it in place manually2) rest it against a perfectly flat surfaceOtherwise the device shifts around & gets out of position due to the small profile & unusual shape of the nobs.The nobs are perfect for massaging, but they need a wider base to not destabalize the entire device- For an effective "deep tissue" massage you need consitent pressure on the trigger point that's causing you pain.For this reason, I prefer very slow rotation so the knotted muscles receive consitent pressure for at least 2-3 seconds.The slowest setting on this device passes the nob over the muscle for about 1 second.SUMMARYLove how it feels when you manage to get the settings dialed in & the device stabalized in place on the targeteduacle, but it's taken a lot of effort to McGuiver ways to hold this thing in place.So far, I've found laying flat on a thicker yoga matt or sleeping bag works great to stabalize it, but it requires:- 2 or 3 pillows that help prop you up around the device for massages on your legs or armsOR- some creative yoga posesOR- a combination of all the aboveBUY AGAIN?Assuming it lasts at least 3 years, I'd probably buy this device again only because the nobs are a divine & healing touch on my muscles when I get the thing in the right place.However, the current design is very unstable & annoying to work w/.I'd originally hoped to use this while working feom home, but the thing ia so unstable you need to dedicate time & effort to finding & holding a position even for something as basic as the neck or back massage it's designed to perform.I can only use this on my days off while watching some YT vids, or at night before sleep.However, even at night it's annoying to use since it requires so much effort to find / maintain a position in which this work effectively.

MY BEST BUY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I HAVE CERVICAL STENOSIS AND LOWER BACK PAIN. WELL...I HAD BACK SURGERY ALREADY 100% pain-free now. BUT BEFORE MY SURGERY I USED THIS SHIATSU MASSAGER. I RECOMMEND TO USE A TOWEL AROUND YOUR NECK THE MESH IS NYLON AND IT GAVE ME A RASH. YOU CAN STILL FEEL THE HEAT IT STILL WORKS VERY WELL PUT SOME ICY HOT BIOFREEZE OR WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE AFTER THE MSSSAGE OOOOO BOY ITS TOTAL RELIEF I USED IT BEFORE BEDTIME GET A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP FEEL GOOD THE NEXT DAY. EXCELLENT PRODUCT FAIR PRICE QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. 5****STAR

I work at a desk job and my neck hurts from staring at the computer all day. A coworker has something that’s similar to this but it’s not quite the same. I was browsing on Amazon and found these and omg! It is amazing. Definitely massages your muscles and with the arm loop, you can adjust the strength. It is very sturdy and bulky but otherwise it is fine because it is effective. I kind of wish I knew about these before I went to get a massage two weeks ago. These are so much better. You can adjust which part you want to be massaged and you can also set it to put out heat. This was worth every penny and I’m so happy that I found this. I showed it around the office and had my coworkers try it and they also fell in love. One even asked me to send her the link so she can buy it on prime and would have it delivered that night. This is a perfect gift for anyone that works a desk job or sit in front of the computer all day. Super easy to use and very durable. The massage balls are well designed to hit any sore areas. Great job in making this!

The grey is the cheapest and does the same thing as the other colors. It is AMAZING! The only down side is it doesn’t come with a car adapter plug like some of the others. The heat is comfortable. The different settings are all useful. It’s super easy to use. Great quality massage. Massages effectively. You determined the intensity with your body pressure, which makes it even more amazing. I wish I’d bought it years ago!

I can't believe I didn't discover this sooner...it works magic on your muscles and it kneads out the knots better than a massage therapist, in my experience. It uses just the right amount of pressure and really, it's blissful!
