Medcursor Neck Massager, Portable Electric Shiatsu Back Massage Device with Heat, Deep Tissue 3D Kneading Pillow for Muscle Pain Relief (No Battery)

LOVED, i have purchased 3 overall because i have gifted them. I fell and needed to massage my lower back often. this was great 4 people that have tried mine have gone from their way and bought it for themselves and recommend it to other people. i keep one at work , at my office chair and works great. Quality is great and the design is amazing because you can use it in different ways not just your back. You can also control how much pressure you want to add by pulling the handles , i looove this stuff helps my back so much. It also connects to outlet , no battery needed.

I MUST SAY....being a massage therapist of 15 years and trying to find something for myself and my clients to help with their pain in between sessions has been tough. I usually tell them and show them about the tennis ball therapy on the wall (not the floor, unless you're doing Trigger Point...too hard to roll around and 'massage' yourself) which IS actually really very effective and quite the life saver. However, there are not too many utube videos of 'the wall' technique. Now, some ppl cannot maneuver and get in certain positions to roll with the ball, much less on the floor. I saw this massager at a clients house and said "Hey! Let me see that!". I was actually looking for a massager that would massage my clients hands because he is a mechanic of 40 years. I put my hand on it and seemed to be the best massager yet for this application! I bought one and am AMAZED! Not even fellow therapists can get in my shoulders and neck like this thing! Now it says neck and back but I use it down the back, on my glutes (butt), legs, hands, feet, just not on the bones. And maybe don't push down on it or lean into it too hard or you may eventually wear out the mechanism that spins the 'knuckles'. I think I'll buy 2 for whenever I wear this one out!My folks took mine, then they got their own. I think I have sent the link to at least 7 people and they ALL bought one. I'm talking within the last 2 weeks AND it ARRIVES SUPER FAST!!! So many ppl with neck and shoulder pain...LOOK NO FURTHER!Coming from a licensed massage therapist, that is a BIG DEAL! Now...it does go deep so if it's too painful when you start off you could put a towel over the 'knuckles' or double up the towel (maybe check with the manufacturer...i wouldn't want to give bad advice). I would also turn the heat off if you do that. Also, you could try not putting your arms in the arm sling because the weight of your arms pulls in down harder on the neck and shoulders, maybe just hold the ends in that case. But I like it deep so I actually push down a bit with my arms and lean in on it with some pillows behind me sitting up in bed. If you are super sore at first (feels bruised) or if you've never really had someone rub on it, you could be hypersensitive. It may get less sensitive over the next few times you use it (if it is a muscular issue that is). I had a client love it so much and it felt so good to her that she sat with it the first night for an hour then she was super sore the next day. I recommend starting easy and work up to it like anything new.Sorry for the novella but I hope this is uber helpful! NOW GO BUY ONE (for a gift) and BUY 2 for yourself AND GET SOME RELIEF!!!Happy moaning LOL!

I purchased this for my son, who plays college football. He loves it! He uses it almost daily to help work out tightness. It appears to be quite durable, having survived life at college. We are bummed that it just suddenly stopped working after only 5 months. I've contacted customer service, and I'm hoping they can help us get it back to working.

I have been hesitant to buy one of these and have looked at them for a few months before i finally purchased this one. I have been extremely impressed with how much it's relieved tension in my upper back and neck. One thing that didn't seem to work initially was the heating component, but just recently it seems as though it's working now? I reached out to customer service regarding the issue initially and they said it was just a mild, low-warming feature. Now that it works, it's warmer than described (not hot though). I've probably used it over a dozen times since buying it ~2 months ago. Averaging once or twice a week, so i think ~$35 is worth it's nprice as a massage usually is more than $60-75. Do I recommend it? Yes, definitely, especially for upper back/shoulder/neck pain and tightness!pros:* can really get knots out of my neck, shoulders, and behind my shoulder blades* holes for your hands/wrists to go through so you can pull the unit to press harder on your back (which i like)* various settings for speed, direction and heat* affordable price point for deep massage in upper back/neck areacons:* doesn't work as well on my lower back as i wanted, but this could be a personal issue: It bruised my lower back when i pushed hard onto it and it still didnt seem to relieve the pain there - it's probable that my pain is more from undiagnosed sciatica rather than knots in my lower back* power cord length is short so i can really only use it in one or two locations in my house... wish it was a few feet longer* heating/warming function didn't work initially and now seems to be intermittent.* I wish (when heating did work) that it would heat warmer as well

Product is as described. Works very well. Had an issue and customer service was very responsive. Would buy again and would recommend.

I got this to help with tight shoulders and neck (lots of time at the computer). It works okay and can get down a bit deep, but doesn't have a large range of motion (limited to two motions in a smallish area just wide enough to miss the sore muscles in my neck). It's also a bit thick, so laying on it is a bit uncomfortable for me, and having to pull the straps to get enough pressure is a bit counterintuitive when it forces muscles to work.That said, it did help, and I'm not getting rid of it 😋 I've found it helpful to sit in a high backed chair or lay a couple pillows.

Very deep massage and short cord. Would be better if cordless or longer cord. No real instructions but easy to figure out.

Deceptively inaccurate product information. It weighs one pound more than the weight listed Under the "Product Details". The warranty info on Amazon states they offer 18 month warranty but the item delivered lists it as having a 12 month warranty.
