My pain thanks you.
This has saved me more times than I can count.  From my neck to my lower back, to my shoulder blades.  The wonderful loops (nice and padded soft) allow you to relax while using it, holding it in place, but to also easily shift it to around to various areas where it may be needed, and hold it there.  For example, it's not meant for between the shoulder blades, but you can move it there easily with the straps around your wrists.<br /><br />This is a very deep massage.  There is only one setting (on/off).  It will stop pain.  It will stop moving if it touches anything, such as if you try to lean back on the couch, but that's ok because the massage mechanism is very hard.  That is what makes it work.<br /><br />The heat is useless, so if you are deciding between this and another that is equal, do not let that sway you.  If the heat was actually *heat*, I would give this 5 star rating.<br /><br />I really like it.
Rating: 4 stars
