I received this for Christmas and have been using it daily. I had no idea how tense my back was, but after only 3 minutes the relief is amazing. AMAZING. I would recommend this to anyone. Except my enemies. (Posted on 12/30/08)

Everyone should buy this NOW!!! Enough said!!!!!!! (Posted on 12/8/08)

I have just started having a problem with back pain and now neck issues like never before. Pain so bad it sends what feels like electrical pulses from my neck/shoulder area down to my fingers and spasms like crazy. I am a mom of a very active toddler boy and of course all the housework never ends so needless to say tense muscles are going to happen.

I started going to a chiropractor and over $400.00 dollars and two months later still having this problem. So last night out of desperation knowing that I need massages, not adjustments, I started looking for something to purchase that would feel very much like muscle stripping. Which is what I need.

I found the reviews here and other places hard to ignore and went to buy one at my local drugstore. I really didn't want to spend that kind of money but hey I can't afford to spend more on the chiropractor.

Let me start by saying that this is worth every penny and it is so powerful I really didn't expect it to be so powerful. I used it several times last night and have used it twice today. It is amazing. I am sore from it actually, but my range of motion in my neck is greatly improved today and I will continue to treat myself with it. You can move it all around and turn it upside down and the heat is great. The little roller balls feel so good. It is very strong pressure so if you like that kind of massge then this is for you. The only thing I don't like is when it goes off after the 20 minutes. I dread that feeling of it stopping. But, you can just restart it. It feels almost sinful to be able to lay in your bed and not pay over and over for someone to make you feel this good. But, I am not going to feel to guilty over it.

As I lay there I think of all my friends and family that need this. I want to tell the world about it. It is fabulous.

Stop reading about it and go get it right now you won't regret it you need it! (Posted on 11/23/08)

I bought this last Christmas for my husband. It's been almost a year and we BOTH always use it still. I'll probably get him (us) another type of HoMedics massager this year too. Very good product. (Posted on 11/20/08)

Didnt plan on buying it. Had been looking for a foot massager then stumbled upon this gadget. I put my feet on it in the store and it was like a man with strong hands massage every ache and pain away.

Brought for 50.00...ran home. I used it on my back, neck, rear thighs and feet. 20 minytes later I am on this site registering it and recommending it to you!

Its wonderful! Between this and my CHi machine...I shoud be running up mountains shortly.

I've been suffering intense trapezius spasms in my right shoulder for about ten months now, due to a very stressful job in which I use the computer constantly. Chronic pain like this really affects your quality of life, your overall mood, everything. I've been getting deep-tissue massages on a regular basis, but they are expensive and not covered by our health insurance. Finally I'd resorted to wedging one of my husband's golf balls between my right shoulder blade and the back of my chair to ease the horrific knot of pain that I had there. I also had gone to my doctor about the pain and he prescribed a powerful anti-inflammatory pill along with a non-narcotic pain reliever. The pills did help, but I'm just not crazy about relying on them to feel better. A few weeks ago, my neighbor took pity on me and offered to let me borrow her own Shiatsu pillow for a few days. It worked wonderfully, and the massage heads got RIGHT into the area of my shoulder blade that was knotted up. So of course I had to buy one of my own. I feel better already--back to my old self again! I am very grateful for this product and would definitely recommend it. It's so much better than popping all kinds of pills to relieve your pain.

I work in an office in front of a computer every day. I had horrible pains in my neck and back that were seriously affecting my health and happiness. I tried massage therapy but it was too expensive, and I couldn't afford to do it often enough. I needed a massage every day and for long periods of time to loosen up the knots in my back. The homedics shiatsu pillow is amazing and loosen up the knots incredibly the first night. I have since been using it every night and I feel like a new person. I recommend it to everyone I know who complains of back or neck pain. It is my hero! I love you Homedics! (Posted on 7/30/08)

OK, I'm the king of neck and shoulder tension, and I've gone through my share of Shiatsu machines. This one tops them all. Not only does it dig as deep as you want it to, but it's compact, portable, and entirely comfortable. AND it takes much less time to get relief than any other machine I've ever used...at less than the price of one session at a massage therapist. Thank you!!! (Posted on 7/24/08)
