Customer Review: Necessity for anyone suffering from neck pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I have neck pain quite often that becomes so intense it turns into a migraine and makes me sick to my stomach. It's terrible. The few doctors I've seen have said I have mild Scoliosis but nobody really seems to think there is anything that can be done for me. A few years ago, my husband got me a Conair neck massage pillow very much like this one, only it only had a vibration and heat mode. It was a saving grace for my life to have this. If anyone else suffers from similar neck issues, you know how bad it can get and I have two small children to care for. Off days aren't an option. The Conair massager helped relieve the pain enough to function, but recently we lost the power cord and I had been in severe pain for days trying to find it.
My husband came home with this product when I was having another bad day with my neck and still couldn't find the cord to my Conair massager. I've sat in the shiatsu massage chairs before so I was eager to see if this was different. It's kind of a scary feeling if you aren't used to shiatsu massage. Other massage products simply vibrate - this one actually rubs into the muscle the way a real massage therapist would to relieve knots. I am a small woman, about 5'4 and 110 lbs but haven't really had a problem with the massager being too big for my neck, as another reviewer stated. I do lean back in the couch with it behind my neck with the massager propped against the back of the couch.
A half hour after my husband was home and I had relaxed with this around my neck in shiatsu/heat mode and I was singing the praises of this massager. I like this even more than the vibration model I had before. It worked much more quickly. There aren't any speed settings or varying degrees of heat on the heat setting. The only switch simply goes from shiatsu, OFF, to shiatsu heat. The cord is already built in, which is a huge plus, because it means no more lost cords. The massage was not too rough, nor was it too gentle and I suspect the handles on it are so you can pull it in tighter if you want a deeper massage or relax it if you don't. The heat setting was absolutely perfect - not extremely hot...but you could feel just enough heat to penetrate and relax the muscle. I really like the material this is made from, as well. It feels like an automotive seat cover - soft, not too stiff and it's an attractive black & grey with some burgundy leather-look accents. It's a little noisy when you have it around your neck since it's close to your ears, but not deafening, but only a soft whirring sound to those around you.
I have several HoMedics products around my house...everything from small zen fountains to exercise equipment and I am always delightfully surprised with the quality and price of their products. I think this one will definitely replace my old Conair massager, even if we do find that power cord...
