“I purchased this during the Covid-19 shutdown. I have a lot of neck and back tension (work, sports, old injury) and go to the osteopath and massage therapist regularly, which I have not been able to do with all but essential services shut down. I saw the reviews for this massager and ordered it - amazing” reads one five-star review. “It arrived in a few days and I can't say enough good things. My neck was so tight and it worked out all of the knots in my neck, tension in my head, even that hard to reach knot under my shoulder blade. I used it on my hip where I often get sciatic pain and even my forearms which have a lot of tension from holding weights during work out. Definitely recommend!”

“I love this thing. With all of the massage places being closed for quarantine, this device has been super helpful. Everyone in my house can use it regardless of their pressure preference because you are controlling the pressure. The cord is quite short, so unless you have a seating area close to an outlet, you will want to use an extension cord with it,” reads another.

Is it for you?


We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: you can’t put a price on your health and comfort. And for the sale price of $50, you practically have nothing to lose

Like any at-home or handheld massage device, this massaging device is ideal for those who are looking to eliminate fatigue, stress and muscle pain to improve their overall well-being. It is a must-have for those that are still temporarily working from home to prevent any pressure on the lower back and tailbone caused by sitting on a wrong chair.
