Customer Review: Good, could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I was diagnosed with TMJ after a car accident in 2005. My TMJ affects everything from my temples down to my shoulders, but especially my neck and the tops of my shoulders. I carry an enormous amount of tension everyday and have been looking for ways to relieve the pain at home after ending physical therapy. High-pressure massage seems to be the best way to help with the TMJ. Nobody in my home is particularly skilled with massages so I needed to find a way to handle this on my own.
First of all, the most noticeable thing about this massager is the weight and bulk of its headpiece. It is a little precarious to lift an arm over your head as shown in the picture to massage your upper back and between the shoulder blades. My shoulder and elbow were tired after a few moments. The second thing that I noticed was that even on the lowest setting of intensity, the percussion movement was still too strong to easily move over bones without feeling as if being struck with a flat piece of wood. This is not ideal for the upper back since the shoulder blades get struck with the massager too often for comfort (for me, anyway).
Now, I'm not particularly bony or fragile. I did read that another reviewer used a blanket to cushion the movement of the percussion knobs. I have yet to try this. The knobs don't move over bare skin with ease, so it's best to have a shirt on. The heat setting wasn't very noticeable to me.
I did use this on my thighs and calves when testing it out, and I can see how an athlete or weight trainer would make use of this on sore muscles, but I simply wouldn't recommend it to people who are trying to relieve medical pain.
