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.

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!

A quick relief for your neck and a reasonable price.

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