Exactly what I needed!
I have chronic neck and back pain from ruptured discs. My muscles get incredibly tight and painful. This is perfect. The handles allow for positioning at the exact spot you need relief. It's also not too loud like another I tried. It's right by your ears and can be bothersome if you are trying to watch tv or something while you massage. The kneading is powerful and deep. If I put too much pressure on I found it could even be too much and a little painful. You control that with the handles though. It just confirms it would definitely provide whatever level of massage intensity someone might desire. Absolutely love that there's a car plug too. Lots of back pain on car trips. Perfect solution.<br /><br />Just a quick update 4-3-17: I have now given this as a gift to my brother and mother in law and they both rave about it and use it daily. Still loving it.
