Excellent massager suitable for massage tools and equipment

After years of dealing with chronic neck pain and trying physical therapy, chiropractic, and massage with little lasting effect, this article finally got me to sleep peacefully. Pros: 1) You control exactly where he applies pressure and how much pressure he applies, so unlike human massage therapists, he doesn't move from where you need to work, doesn't push too hard or too soft, and doesn't move off get tired of deep kneading. 2) The price is less than a massage session (at least in my area) so it pays for itself immediately. I've used it over 50 times so far and it still works like new and each session with it has helped me more than a session with any of the massage therapists I've tried so the value for money is amazing. 3) It's very versatile: I've used it primarily to massage the neck as well as the upper back, middle back, and lower back, and it's equally good for all of those uses. 4) Sturdy construction and high quality materials. Cons: 1) You put pressure on your back/neck with your chest/arm muscles to pull the balls forward. This works great for me, but it's not as relaxing as lying on a table and doing nothing during the massage. You can also place it between the back of the chair and your neck/back and lean on it, which saves you from pulling your chest/arm muscles but makes it a bit more difficult to control exactly where the balls land. FYI: 1) If you apply very high pressure, the motors will slow down severely and have trouble continuing. This is not surprising - the balls are simply driven by medium-sized electric motors that can only produce a limited amount of torque. But at first I figured I couldn't push too hard for fear of overloading the motor. But over time I've gotten more aggressive with the pressure I use and as I said it's still working well after 50 uses. 2) Be careful not to put too much pressure on the balls against areas without much muscle coverage. I pulled my neck too hard and actually bruised my skull, but that was entirely my fault, not the massager. The massager has hard rotating balls - if you press hard plastic into bones you'll bruise lol.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
