Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager with Soothing Heat, Nekteck Electric Deep Tissue 3D Kneading Massage Pillow for Shoulder, Leg, Body Muscle Pain Relief, Home, Office, and Car Use

Worth the hype, if on a budget
If you came from TikTok and you were wondering if this lives up to all the hype, I’d say it sure does if you use it right. I like to use it for my thighs, calves, behind my shoulders, and my neck. Those are the spots where I feel it really digging out tension. If it hurts, you’re either pressing too hard or you have a knot in that area. I’m glad I didn’t spend a lot of money on it but I wish It could work without being plugged in. It really does feel like real hands when I press hard enough in certain areas on my body and I start to fall asleep lol. I also noticed that after about 15 minutes, (I used a stopwatch) the massager will turn off automatically and I have to turn it back on again so that can be annoying. Overall I’m patient enough with it and still happy I bought it. For my ladies, if you’re cramping on your period, the heat mode is amazing on the lower stomach. Thank me later.

Glorious Massage Nobs, but Frustratingly Unstable
MY USE CASEI’m a practitioner of trigger point therapy after years of outdoor work that led to overuse injuries & a body literally full of knotted muscles, from the small musckes im my hands & feet, to the large muscles in my back & legs.The “percussion”style devices (like “message guns”) are extremely uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time as they vibrate the skin until it’s sensitove & itchy.As an alternative for DIY therapy, I use this device on my:- neck- back- leg- arms- hands- feetPROS- Excellent shape of the nobs–they feel amazing when you get them in the right position- Adjustable speed- Comfortable ammount of heat for 15 minutes (I always turn this off since the nobs warm up just fine from body heat during extended use)CONS- automatically turns off every 15 minutes- automatically changes the direction of rotation every 1 minute (initially helps discover what direcrion works best on different muscles, but gets annoying fast once you know what works best for you)- It always turns on w/ the default settings, instead of the last settings you used.Gets very annoying adjusting settings everytime you’re going to use it, or every 15 mins im it turns off–especially if you’re like me & always use the same settings- The shape of the device is very unstable unless you:1) hold it in place manually2) rest it against a perfectly flat surfaceOtherwise the device shifts around & gets out of position due to the small profile & unusual shape of the nobs.The nobs are perfect for massaging, but they need a wider base to not destabalize the entire device- For an effective “deep tissue” massage you need consitent pressure on the trigger point that’s causing you pain.For this reason, I prefer very slow rotation so the knotted muscles receive consitent pressure for at least 2-3 seconds.The slowest setting on this device passes the nob over the muscle for about 1 second.SUMMARYLove how it feels when you manage to get the settings dialed in & the device stabalized in place on the targeteduacle, but it’s taken a lot of effort to McGuiver ways to hold this thing in place.So far, I’ve found laying flat on a thicker yoga matt or sleeping bag works great to stabalize it, but it requires:- 2 or 3 pillows that help prop you up around the device for massages on your legs or armsOR- some creative yoga posesOR- a combination of all the aboveBUY AGAIN?Assuming it lasts at least 3 years, I’d probably buy this device again only because the nobs are a divine & healing touch on my muscles when I get the thing in the right place.However, the current design is very unstable & annoying to work w/.I’d originally hoped to use this while working feom home, but the thing ia so unstable you need to dedicate time & effort to finding & holding a position even for something as basic as the neck or back massage it’s designed to perform.I can only use this on my days off while watching some YT vids, or at night before sleep.However, even at night it’s annoying to use since it requires so much effort to find / maintain a position in which this work effectively.

If you’re iffy- GET IT! Trust me!
I have seen these allllll over TikTok and everywhere, but honestly I thought it was probably not as good as people were “advertising”. I ended up deciding to take a chance and ordered this one (cordless!!) and it arrived last night. And let me tell you- THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE! The only “downside” is it does not let off enough “heat” so can’t really feel that much, but whether you use this on your neck, shoulders, back, or even sciatic nerve- you will be drooling!! Soon as I turned it on, my entire body got goosebumps!

A very relaxing massager
I really like this massager. The first two times I used it I fell asleep. Very relaxing. I like it so much I bought six more for family. There is a little learning curve – it may appear to be too intense in the beginning. But once I learned how much pressure to apply, I LOVED it! I use it with a Shiatsu foot massager. VERY RELAXING.

This massager seem to move a bit slower than others I’ve tried. Makes it easier to manipulate into all the right places.

Masaż jest skuteczny i odprężający. Używam przez cienki polar lub ręcznik ze wzgl. higienicznych, więc nie jest za intensywny, same stopnie intensywności niewiele się od siebie różnią; Grzeje odczuwalnie i przyjemnie.Masager jest spory (problem z przechowywaniem) poza tym przydałyby się trochę dłuższe paski (np. podczas masażu karku trudny dostęp do przycisków) i dlatego odejmuję gwiazdkę.Jestem zadowolona z zakupu.

Muito bom, alivia muito a tensão
