I bought this massager for my fiance who has chronic back pain and muscle tightness. The massager does a decent job of loosening her muscles and relieving the pain but it is tricky to use owing to the width of the head is fairly wide (4 inches between the points of contact and the head is wider still). This makes it difficult to use in the shoulder region as it is absolutely painful if this massager contact bone beneath the skin (shoulder blade, collar bone, spine, etc). The heat function is basically negligible...it prevents the contacts from feeling cold on your skin during the winter but that is all, it by no means will heat an area of your skin/muscle that is sore. It was worth the money for this item because we had a specific use that required so much power. For a normal person, I suspect this would be more painful than useful. -- Very powerful massager.
I am only 36 and have back issues due to long term sitting on airplanes. I'm 6'4" tall and needed a massager that would work out knots for my shoulder blades/neck. Not only has this helped my back but its worked well on my hamstrings. I recommend it and love it after long trips. -- Great for backs and legs
What a great hand held massager. I recently hurt my hip, using this massager brought me immediate relief. I use it everyday and the pain is steadily decreasing. This massager is not too heavy, however I use both hands for a better control. Be careful not to go around your bones the vibration is too entense for such a soft and tender area. -- Homedics PA-5H Therapist Select Hand Held Percussion Massager (Includes Heat and 2 Attachments
1) It relieved tightness and aches in my calves the first time I used it, and they stayed comfortable the rest of the day. Normal stretches and other kinds of massage never helped.
2) Using a mouse for any length of time make my shoulder ache. This massager removed the tightness and ache immediately.
3) It feels very good on my lower back, but didn't seem to relieve or improve anything ... until my back "slipped" the other day, resulting in pain and weakness. This is a chronic problem, and the only way to recover from it has been to see a good Chiropractor. I used the new Percussion Massager and a Shiatsu Back cushion (which I've been using for a long time), and the problem went away. This has never happened before, and I still can't really believe it happened now. The timing couldn't have been better, as the problem developed early on Christmas Eve, and I was facing a long, uncomfortable weekend. The acid test will be the next time(s) my back has a problem: will the Percussion Massager work again? -- Immediate relief
After buying and using this massager for a month, I can honestly report that it is a great product. In fact, in some ways, it's almost too good... at least for smaller people. It's heavy duty and feels like it should last a long time. I would even rate it as being commercial quality. But it massages so well that it sometimes almost hurts my wife... unless she first puts a heavy towel over her shoulders and back. Then she really enjoys her! I very much like using it as is... without any additional padding. We take turns giving each other neck and back massages at the end of long days. It unquestionaly helps in relaxing tense muscles and allows both of us to sleep better. It has also helped her to receive fewer, and less severe tension headaches... something she has suffered from for a while. Also, the dual heads create an invigorating sensation when running it up and down the sides of the spine... with one head on each side. The shoulder, neck, and back massages are similar in quality to the level I've received in chiropractors' offices. We would buy this massager again in a heartbeat.
Before buying it, I checked several places, including eBay, and got the best deal at Amazon... especially with the free shipping. -- After a months usage
