MY USE CASE I'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 - feet PROS - 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 manually 2) rest it against a perfectly flat surface Otherwise 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. SUMMARY Love 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 arms OR - some creative yoga poses OR - a combination of all the above BUY 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.

Massage Quality and Effectiveness in fifteen minutes gives at least 12 hours of relief from neck to lower back.

The item was shipped as a gift to my sister, and it arrived on time. I have this neck and back massager and it has helps tremendously with neck, and migraine pain. I would recommend this product to relax your neck and base of your head. The product is well worth the purchase. You can also use the heat feature on the item that is plus for relaxing and calming.

As someone who has inflammation of the cervical spine area from years of tech neck and bad posture, I suffer from a sore neck frequently. I am always on the lookout for relief. I mainly just use OTC medications and stretching exercises with an occasional neck heating pad. My neck pain isn't bad, but it is there and can sometimes cause a bad headache. I came across this shiatsu massager and it looked intriguing. I purchased a shiatsu foot massager (different brand) for the hubs about five years ago and he loves it. That thing is still going strong. I pulled the trigger on this and tried it out a few times. Here are my observations: It is powerful, and the shiatsu massage discs are sturdy. They help to work out the knots in your neck. This can also be used on other areas like the lumbar spine. It is quiet and emits a low humming noise. It is difficult to position in the area you want just right. If you move, the unit will slide down or move and then you may need to get out of it to re-position it. The arm hole things are kind of awkward and a little too high. When putting my hands through them I kind of felt like a kangaroo. This runs on a charger, so you will need to be near an outlet to use it. The power connector easily comes apart if you move, so you then have to get out of the kangaroo harness and re-attach the power supply. The massaging action was a little too rough for me, I prefer a gentler massage. In summary, this didn't work for me as it was not that easy to use and requires maneuvering to get in the right position with the thing, and then not move at all. It is bulky, so it requires storage when not using it, because it doesn't look great just laying around the house. I could see the vinyl on this wearing off over time, and I am not a fan of this type of material. A sturdy removeable fabric sleeve makes more sense to me. I suppose I will continue to rely on light stretching as that works as well and doesn't require any equipment. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are desperate for pain or soreness relief and don't mind a little wrangling to get it.

Very good. Liked it so much. Have been using this daily. Good for neck and shoulders, but I mostly use for back.
