Impulsive buy turned into a great buy!
Nice. Go pay the $ for a deep tissue massage or get this. It can be uncomfortable and sometimes a bit painful but when you’re done, it’s worth it. You can feel it popping through muscles knots.Exactly what I would expect if I paid for a massage.This was an impulse buy because I was sore. Ended up with something that will bring relief after workouts and soreness. Seems to be well made and I’m able to press my weight into it. Design fits my back, hamstrings and traps perfectly.Love it

Pretty good.
This thing is quite good for the price. I typically use a hard foam roller to stretch out my middle back pain. I have had pain in the same area for over 20 years. Last week, I tried to move some wood loading ramps early in the morning and all of sudden felt like I could not even stand up. It almost felt like something broke in my back. This has acutally happened before in the past, but only a few times over 20 years. Usually it is just a muscle strain which is painful at first, then sore for a couple weeks to a couple months at most. I ordered this back massager the morning after this latest injury and it was delivered within a couple hours. The foam roller was just too painful and would not provide the little cracks and immediate relief it typically does. This massager provided such intense feelings of relief and got into deep tissue that I literally felt what you could describe as euphoria. The problem is it felt so good that I really leaned my weight onto the unit so much that the balls would barely move and I seem to have bruised my back around my spine quite a bit. Now I can only use this massager very lightly until the bruise heals up. The heating feature is not all that warm, but I did feel it.Being a long time sufferer of back pain, I try a little of everything. This massager should really help provide some immediate temporary relief. But to those suffering, I will relate that the absolute best help was strengthening my core by situps, pullups, pushups etc and the corresponding weight loss. I did not have any back pain for years when I could do sets of 10-15 pullups at a time, but I got lazy and now I am suffering again.I have a tens unit. It works great, but it is too hard to get the pads on my back by myself. I have the heating pads and the ice pads. I have the foam rollers with and without knubs. I have a bosu ball. I have the icy hot, the tiger balm, the biofreeze. I have a hot tub with all kinds of jets and 5 different seating positions. This massager is a very welcome addition. I bought an accupressure mat at the same time, about which I was very skeptical in comparison to a shiatsu heated massager. But I am using the accupressure mat in conjunction with the shiatsu massager and light stretching and got back to work after only a couple days with only annoying stiffness, discomfort and soreness instead of intolerable pain and immobility.

This is a perfect massager for me!
Got this for Christmas 2024. I absolutely love it. I used to sit at a desk all day, this was great to come home and get rid of the tight sore back, neck, and shoulder muscles. I use it every day. I am mid 60’s and muscles get tight and sore. This is my new best friend. It can be a little rough, because it not well padded, but I do adjust as I need to. I find the heat is perfect, but massaging parts take a little getting used to. It is the first Shiatsu massagerI kept and actually use every day.it is lightweight, and easy to move around from bedroom to living room.

Great Value!
I have been hanging neck and upper shoulder pain. This massager is great! Feels good on my neck and back. Easy to use just plug in and go! I lay on it and it works just fine. Heating element works great too!

The item arrived late, massage quality for neck area is not what I expected. The heat is also very low…almost non-existent. I was not able to return it…beware.

Ich klemme mir seit Jahren immer wieder und ständig einen Nerv in der LWS ein. Wahrscheinlich Ischias. So richtig kann kein Arzt es deuten. Der Physiotherapeut hat mit “naja sagen wir mal Triggerpunktbehandlung” das Problem kurzfristig besser gemacht. War aber sehr zeitaufwändig und teuer, aber ich wusste zumindest wo das Problem liegt und wie es besser wird. Und nach endlosen Schmerzmitteln und mittlerweile Oxycodon, da dachte ich so…probier das Dingen doch einfach mal aus. Wenn doof, dann doof. Kostet ja nicht die Welt und Amazon macht den Umtausch ja auch problemlos möglich.Und was soll ich sagen….das Teil ist supertoll für mich. Ich bin zur Zeit schmerzfrei ohne Pillen.Ich lege mich auf die Seite auf der Couch und hau mir das Massagedingen auf die Pobacken und Hüfte, Oberschenkel und Lendenwirbelregion. Immer schön vorsichtig anfangen und austesten und hin-und herschieben wie es am besten ist. Das Gerät hat ordentlich Kraft und ist am Anfang, bis die Muskeln lockern, auch nicht nett manchmal. Und so knetet es mir dann so langsam aber sicher alles frei. Ich klemme es mittlerweile zwischen mich und die Couch, damit ich mehr Druck habe und es auch tiefer geht. Wahrscheinlich soll man auch nur einmal das “15 Minuten Programm” machen. Ich mache es bei Bedarf auch länger. Wird dann schon ganz schön warm das Dingen. Also für manche bestimmt zu warm. Denke also für den Dauergebrauch ist es nicht geeignet. Aber ne halbe Stunde am Tag schafft es super. Und nach ner Zeit braucht man es auch gar nicht mehr jeden Tag.Meiner Mutter habe ich das Dingen auch gekauft, weil ich so begeistert bin. Sie hat es für den Nacken benutzt. Allerdings ist sie 80 und kommt mit dem Dingen überhaupt nicht zurecht. Sie meint “aua, das tut weh” und damit hatte sich das Teil erledigt für sie.
