Pursonic - Shiatsu Heating Neck & Back Massager - Black

I'm right in the middle of this little massager. I researched a bunch, and this one seemed to have the best reviews, but I'm just a little disappointed for my needs and might get something else. PROS -Holds up well to pressure! I really try to dig into certain places, and so far, after about 5 uses, it's still working, doesn't stop, and keeps massaging. I like that a lot. It goes a bit slower sometimes,s but I trust it will keep going. The heat is really nice and soothing, and not too hot. Be warned, however, I was pressing hard on my bare skin and got a bit chafed on the heat setting because I was digging into the skin. It wouldn't do that normally, though; it was the way I was using it. Overall, the heat is mild and a perfect temp. -Light and has a long cord, fairly easy to move around. -Has given me some occasional relief when I've been able to get the right position, for a good night's sleep. -I have had some luck around the lower/mid-neck, even though it's not designed for that. I just moved it so one side gets the area I want, which feels good. But overall, this is a bit too wide to give a nice "squeeze" to the neck. I'm small, 5'4" and 12,5 so if you are bigger with a bigger neck, this would maybe be great! CONS -The directional-switch of the motors is automatic. It's nice sometimes, but I think I'd prefer to be able to control when the rotation switches direction. Of course, ten I will be in a sweet spot, and it will change, and then I'll have to adjust a bit. Nothing terrible,rrible but if you are looking for something to really unwind a knot and sustain in one area, I'd go with a model that you can dictate when it changes direction. -Ball pressure: I find I have a really hard time getting it in a position that doesn't dig TOO hard, or not hard enough. So it's a bit time-consuming. For me, it's not enough to just lean lightly against a chair and have it push on my back. It pokes in weird areas. I find it hard to relax into it unless I find the right spot. When I do, it's nice! But it's like 75% of the time I'm messing with it to get the pressure right. To me is more about this kind of massager, rather than this specific model. Live and learn! -I find the simple way it works is sometimes nice and effective, but overall feels a bit monotonous. Someone mentioned in a review that it's not like a nail salon massage chair, and I unfortunately find that it's quite similar to those. Just kinda pushes on yo,u and unless you get the right spot. Again, when I have found good spo, ts it's very nice! So far, no lasting relief - I got this for a painful shoulder and neck, sue, s, and I haven't noticed drastic differences, but nothing worse. I also thought it would help my lower back, which gets sore, or my hips, and it hasn't had any major results, but we shall see. So I don't find it as AMAZING as some little human robot hands as I was secretly dreaming of, but it's certainly nice to have around the house. It's just an "additional massager" like if I want a "general rub down" somewhere without expecting miracles, and if I can get the hang of where to position it on my wall/chair/couch/body.... but I think I'll have to buy something more detailed with more features for speed or pressure for my main, more painful muscle issues. But if you are looking for a simple, 2-way rotational massager to just plug away on one spot for 20 minutes, and you don't need as much nuance asIe, this is well-made. It comes with a nice little slipcover for use with heat.

A quick relief for your neck and a reasonable price.

I purchase this heating pad and I can't tell how please I am with the ease of use. I have bought a lot of these in the past and this is the best! I use it often for my back and it helps to ease the pain and use it weekly! Don't think twice buy it!

Bought for wife who has lower back pain. Shee loves it!
