Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the best purchase I have ever made for back and neck pain! I have bought moist heat pads, inversion table, lumbar braces, etc, but this is by far the best item for relieving discomfort. I noticed at a chiropractor recently that I had immediate muscle relief when he used a similar item to break up the fascia and allow healing, releasing the bound up energy in areas that have been spasmed for long time. I researched many products and decided upon this one for many reasons: 1. it has multiple twin head covers, soft, hard and if removed the knobs have heat control! 2, it is long enough for me to use on my own back and neck with a looped handle that other massagers do not have 3. The knobs have accordion like connection that allows for movement flow vs only one position I started using this every night on my buttocks and hips and sides and obtained so much relief that it was unbelievable!!! Then I remembered how in the 60s people used stand up massagers with belts that jiggled fat and marketed it as weight loss item instead of exercising. In some cases this type of movement helps to lose weight and tone areas because it again breaks up the tight bonds between fascia and muscle and fat, allowing fat to be broken down and used as energy. That type of fat that is hard to get rid of is on thighs and buttocks in women as is hard and yellow. It is the type that women pay big dollars to have removed by liposuction because it is difficult to get rid of in general. I started using the massager on the front of my thighs and noticed a change in the contour as the massager released the hard fat from the muscle which encourages its use as energy through metabolism. I lost weight too! Five pounds so far and have not changed anything wlse in my world. Five pounds of fat is a large volume! Not likel five pounds of muscle which is much smaller. So the funky chunky wrinkles in my thighs from hard fat are beginning to go away! But the real blessing of this devise is the relief I obtain in my neck and shoulders and upper arms and hips and ribs and legs every night, releieving sciatic pain as the nerve gets released from stubborn muscles and allowing me to rest. I would give it ten stars if I could. I keep it pugged into the outlet next to my bed and use it every night, and sometimes when preparing for the day. It would be great to help men or women to stretch their legs before exercising or playing sports so as to minimize injury...sports players know how important stretching is to their longevity in play. I paid for this item and have received no compensation from the company nor Amazon for this review.
