Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager with Papillon Technology for Deep Tissue Relief

Brilyn: I really enjoy this. As a former licensed massage therapist, this is really neat. A lot of Shiatsu massagers just feel like someone grinding a golf ball into your bones, hitting all the wrong spots. This one feels more like having an experienced massage therapist doing petrissage with a little deep tissue mixed in. (Keep in mind, it’s like medium-deep pressure. If you get sore easily from massage, this will make you feel like churned butter.) If you are laying down and the pressure is too much or too little, adjust your head by looking up or down, as that changes the angle/arch of your neck, and will cause it to be firmer or less firm pressure. Also laying down versus sitting up changes the pressure. It has worked into my trapezius (top of shoulder-neck area) scalenes (side of neck) and even up into my suboccipitals (base of skull). It works well for the rest of the body, but I would definitely recommend not laying on it. Use it sitting on a soft chair or sofa. It works on the calves, hamstrings, quads (lay on your stomach for this and be prepared for deep tissue work), and feet if you can tolerate the speed it moves at (it has three speeds but the slow is kind of fast for most...

C. Lewis: I’ve had this product for two years. I don’t normally remember to leave reviews, but I searched my purchase history to buy this for a friend and I still have the option to leave a review two years later. This is a great item. I use it on my neck and the space between my shoulder blades primarily. You can adjust the pressure depending on your own angle. Putting it directly on the bed and laying on it gives the most pressure. Propping up partially with a pillow or backrest and leaning against it lightens the pressure. If I go too long without using it, it can be kind of painful, but that’s not really the massager, but the super tight muscles. It also hurts to get a massage or use therapy balls at that time, so again, not the tool that’s the problem. I love this thing so much. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made for myself. Getting one for a friend and highly recommend for anyone with tense neck or shoulder muscles.

Happymomma: You’d think it be larger like a standard-size pillow If looking at just the photos. But it is a little massager that will fit under your neck or the small of your back. Also not soft but hard and can be a little uncomfortable if you don’t place it in the right position. But it works for what I need it for so I’m cool with that. Nice strong motor as well. That’s a major plus so I was inclined to add an extra star.

Lorraine B. Pohl: I'm used to a massager having cloth covers, this one is vinyl and is cool to the touch. It's easy to move around my neck and back. I don't use the flap that covers the rollers. Seems fragile to handle and the massager is sensitive, so don't put a lot of your neck and back pressure on it because it will stop operating. Otherwise, it does do the job of relieving pain.

Cosmic Flow Art: I think its really unprofessional to email me and offer money for a good review.
I just took a star off for the 6 emails I've gotten trying to bribe me to change my review.
That isn't good Buisness .
If the company had simply offered a refund for the broken product we all could have saved so much time.
Geeze...I bought this for chronic pain issues on a low budget. This company is proving to be a real "pain in the neck".

While it served as a nice gift to myself in a painful time, it really didn't have the motor to provide deep tissue pressure.
I also liked the adjustable band on the back for different sized chairs but it only fits smaller chairs.
When you lean your body weight into the device it struggles to work.
Perhaps this is better for less severe back issues and I was misusing it; either way it only temporarily helped my back pain.
Also: The attachment cable is easy to lose and difficult to keep it connected. After about 3 months the connection cable stopped working altogether.
I wish I would have saved my money for a really nice massage or a yoga class.
