I have a chronic neck/back condition I’ve lived with for 15 years. It is really hard to massage that area yourself and expensive to get a regular massage which only offered a temporary solution. My physical therapist suggest this product. I am 5ft 2 inches so the massager is rather large on me but, I have been able to adapt it to work the areas needed. The wide hand straps really help to move it into the desired location and keep it there. This massager not only works on the neck, shoulder and back, but can work on tight thigh and upper arm muscles. I have only been using it for a few days but already I find I am taking fewer pain meds. In the right location, it really feels like a hand working the tight muscles. I am hoping that with longer use, my neck and shoulder issues improve even more. If you have a small frame or are on the thin side, like me, take care not to use it too long at one time as you can make the area rather tender. I found it works best when I use it for 5 mins, rest for 1/2 hour and use it again. That also gives your muscles time to relax in between.

I have chronic pain in neck and lower back. I bought this hoping it will help. However, to my utter disappointment I found out that many of the claims made by this seller are completely FALSE. Their listing states that it heats up, but it does not heat up at all. It is heavy and feels like rolling cold rocks on your muscles. It is a horrible feeling. In fact after trying it for few minutes I felt worse than before using it. I am returning this. It is waste of time and money. I am disappointed.

The media could not be loaded.
Having suffered neck and back pain for years and having regular trips to the chiropractor, I saw the positive reviews for this so thought I’d give it a try. I’m so glad I did! This thing is amazing!
My only (very minor) criticism is the motor slows a bit under pressure but as the massaging balls are so hard, too much pressure hurts. After 5 minutes or so, you’ve figured out the right pressure to use.
There are 3 Speed settings, reverse mode and heat on/off.
Every couple of minutes the balls reverse automatically and it has an auto shut off at 15 minutes.
The wire from the mains plug is approx 2.4m long and plugs into a connector on left hand arm.
It comes in a handy zip up carry bag for convenient storage.
A great buy!

This thing is a piece of junk. The motor on the massager os not strong enough to even move on my back, shoulder or neck and the device stoops working with even the smallest amount of pressure.
Added 4/9/2020; now these guys are trying to pay me to take this down. If anything this should confirm this product is junk. I will edit and add photos of the e-mails if amazon will let me soon.

I received this product as a gift recently and was very excited. Unfortunately, during the first few uses I noticed that one of the massager knobs had a jagged edge which was getting caught on the fabric and tearing it apart. When I took it apart to investigate, I found that the inner mechanism was being held together by masking tape. Surprised this product has such great reviews. It gives solid massages, but clearly is not going to last me very long.

I have chronic muscle muscle tension and knots in my neck, shoulder, traps. This device really really hits all those sweet spots. I have bought a million and one self massage devices, nothing works quite as well as this one. The pressure of the rollers is firm and goes deeply into the muscle knots. I especially love the option of having 3 speeds and 2 directions to choose from. The heat is just nice for me, it warms the cold muscles up nicely on cold nights. I sleep much better now. There’s also something about the way the rollers are programmed, that you really feel like you’re getting a massage from an actual pair of hands. The device is really good quality, the straps feel like soft leather. This is a really really good buy for under £40!!!

Giving this 5* because it exceeded my expectations! I’m a paraplegic, so I used this sitting in my bed. I’ve had so many ooh/ahh moments already! The fabric is very cool, smooth and comfortable next to my skin – it does not get sweaty or sticky. The motor noise is minimal and kind of soothing. There seems to be only two actual movement choices – and there’s not that much difference between the two. Also, there is no detectable heat from the “infrared light”. But I’m not deducting any stars because the massage it does give is so wonderful! I can have it go as deep or as gentle as I want without getting tired out – the design is genius! You put your arms through the holes and away you go. Also, while sitting in bed, I put just my hands in the holes and can pull the massager from the lowest point to about mid back – then I switch to putting it around my neck and work down to mid back. I can go up and down, as hard or soft as I want. I discovered that if it hurts in one spot, just go lighter there, and keep coming back to it – going deeper and deeper. My whole back was full of knots and this little gem is working them out – and this is just the first night! Because of my condition, I can’t lay flat on a masseuse table, plus I would have to Uber or ask a friend to drive me to the chair massage place. I have ALREADY got my money’s worth!!!! This is a game changer in my comfort level.

I have Fibromyalgia and this has been an absolute dream. You can control the pressure by how hard you pull down on the hand loops and the heating function relieves even more pain. It automatically shuts off after a certain amount of time, and the massage rotators change direction at regular intervals. It isn’t small but it’s not massive, mine sits like a slightly odd cushion on my sofa when not in use.

Given such good reviews, I shouldn’t have been worried about ordering, but couldn’t shake the feeling of buying something that’s just a bit gimmicky. Anyway, bit the bullet and went for it. So glad I did!
My husband and I are extremely pleased (so far, only question is longevity), as it certainly gives you a good kneeding. There doesnt seem to be any problem with the heating up, and it is good to see the light goes out when the heat is turned off. It’s not hot by any means and is certainly nothing like a hot bag of course, but it’s gentle warming adds something to the experience.
We both have a fairly regular sports massage and for less than the cost of one of those, I have to say we’re very happy indeed.

Update: Very disappointed to receive an email with a bribe from the seller to give me a full refund, plus $100 to remove this review, whihc is just wrong. I am lowering my review from 3 stars to one star because of the email bribe.
Original review: Limitedd on adjustability for the size of person, limited power, so you are not able to go very deep on the massage. No battery pack, so must keep it plugged in. Overall it’s decent and not a bad value, but if you’re going to spend the $ ob a massager it’s probably worth getting a more powerful one.

Update: still fantastic. I can really tell if I haven’t massaged my shoulder and neck. It’s a keeper!
I should have ordered this…10 years ago.
After two minutes, my eyes rolled back into my head and I groaned with that “Oh my word, this is fantastic” type groan.
I don’t feel a big difference with the heat, but I really like the control I have with the arm flaps. I can adjust it up and down my neck and on my shoulders.
The rotating balls (some are bigger and some smaller) reverse every so often, and you can reverse them yourself.
I like the 3 speeds.
It comes with its own bag and power cord, plus a car charger!
Over time it’s loosening years of tight muscles. Heavenly.

I was so excited to receive this and on arrival, I plugged it in to a socket which was switched off initially. On switching it on, the plug exploded and broke apart in my head. The loud bang caused temporary tinnitus for me, my husband and presumably our 6 month old son. I was also left with burning and tingling in my arm. After contacting my GP, I was advised to attend A&E for assessment (not where I want to be given the current pandemic). All in all, I’m more tense than I was before I bought this machine to ease my tension. I have requested a refund from Amazon and have contacted the manufacturer direct to complain.
