Back Massager with Heat

Had this type of model massager before and it’s been marvelous. This with my physical therapy has helped my shoulder pain so much. The massage quality is like a deep tissue- removes the knots that builds up and it has heating so helps out even more. It’s easy to use, easy to carry and store away. It’s super light weight. Overall it does it purpose for what its price is.

Nice and works great! You need to position it in the right areas of your back for it to work properly. But it does provide great massage once in areas.

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.

Worked good the 1st time. It has not turned on after that. Cords are in place everything plugged in product seems to be defective. Did a review with one star. The product started working. It’s been several weeks and it has not turned on. But I’m only reviewing my response on how it works. It works good when it’s on.

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.

This was my 2nd Victor Jurgen back massager I've purchased and it works better than others because the massage balls inside are larger than multiple other massagers I've purchased. When turn it on and lean back on my work chair it gets deep into my aching back and helps with the pain from my slipped L4.My only complaint is that when my package arrived in a opened box with a different brand name Papillon yet inside was my Viktor Jurgen massager. I only received a cigarette lighter adapter and no electrical plug in for my work place.I had to find an electrical plug since mine did not come with one.I was almost going to return it but I needed it desperately.

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!
