Review on Cordless Handheld Back Massager With 6 Speeds, 6 Modes, And 6 Massage Nodes - Rechargeable Electric Neck & Muscle Tension Relief For Home & Office Pain by Robert Ogrodnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lost ut and bought another to fixed knotted up muscles from a autoimmune desease

(Warning, this is kind of a long story explaining my health condition and how it helped me.)Let me give you some history about me. I have had multiple back surgerys that have fused L3-5 then L1-T10 in my back. In additional to 3 neck surgeries (fused C2-C6) and there are 4 discs needing surgery now in my thoracic area behind my heart, but I am putting it off hopefully new technology will come available instead of another dreaded fusion that doesnt provides much relief like I wish, only about 50% pain relief. I had 2 failed stimulators inserted into my spinal area. Sometimes Inflammation and infection become issues whenever I have surgery. This machine helps manage muscle pain that my musle relaxers dont cover, like tight knots caused by Fibromyalgia.I have a long list of diagnosis which I wont bore you with.I was first diagnosed with an autoimmune disease of the muscle and then later nerve damage. Recently I was told that most likely I will have a diagnosis of M.S in years to come.(In case you are not familiar with MS; Muliple Sclerosis gradually affects the nervous system. It can be hard to get a corrct DIAGNOSES of M.S for several years, sadly people are treated incorrectly for decades because it mimics several other illnesses) Because of the intense muscle pain I live with, and memory loss, I didnt realize how much this massager devise helps me until, one day I went to a doctor appointment an hour away. My mother took me, however she called me the night before reminding me to bring my back massager, and to be sure it is all charged up for the following days big trip. Any time I go OUT is a big trip, but this is an hour each way, I knew it would be trying on my body setting in a weighting room what could be an hour or maybe 2. I used my massager laying down in the back seat as much as I could. I used it a lot that dayThat next morning, after my big day out I woke up in such mysery. My shoulders and arms were locked up tight, my lower back, and my legs were throbbing .I asked for my helper that next day to help me locate the massager. Again, my medicine helps to take the edge off, but I count on this massager for additional relief. It helps me to have better range of motion so I can move more freely without knowing every inch I am moving. The pain signals from my brain reminds me "I am moving". When most people move about their day, you dont realize how much your limbs move, unles you had an ache each time you moved them.My helper came to me since I was unable to walk that day due to spasms preventing much movement. We realized very fast the massager was missing. It is so light weight which is perfect for my weak arms. On the past years my muscles have become so weak I needed a massager that was light in order for me to control it. Thats another reason I love this machine. Since it is one of the lightest weighing massager, I can feel the knots under my skin as the machine rubbs over them, its a hump and extremely sore to the touch.If you suffer from knotted up muscles just tryworking those knots out slowly, as tolerated. Take a couple minute break if it is too uncomfortable, or use slower speed. That knotted muscle will release. You will know it when you rub the massager over it and it becomes smooth without any pain like you was feeling prior to rubbing the massager over that area. Physical therapy taught me about Muscle Energy & the Muscle Release process, if you have spasms or knotted muscles look this up on the internet or better yet look at YouTube, but remember this massager doesnt take complete replacement of physical therapy or other physicians orders. However, it helps in between your appointments.I use my lightweight massager MULTIPLE MULTIPLE times a day. I know one thing, these knotted muscle that were so tight that next day after my dr. appointment had to get released or I wont be moving much. Sadly no one could find my massager, my bag on wheels did not have it, it wasnt in the car either. Called my doctor to see if it was there. it was lost.This thing was a true blessing, I just didnt realize how much I relied upon it until it was lost.Because of chronic pain, I dont work any longer, our family lost 3/4 of my income. I originally thought I would hold off replacing the massager because I never want to "take" income from the family, but if I dont buy it again, I will be hurting my family by not participating in there live's.If your on the fence of buying it, I believe for less than $40 and it helps just one person. It will be a great invesment for the entire family. think you will love it. if not, you have 30 days to return it to Revain and a 1 year manufacturer's warranty that is greatFYI.Prior to me loosing my first massager, my son in law used it one time, he is a carpenter with back problems. He got on his phone and ordered this massager exactly like mine.It goes to show, its not just my opinion its the best.

Pros
  • The compact size makes it easy to store and travel with
Cons
  • Can be difficult to switch between speeds and modes during use
