When I received the unit, I was very eager to try it out. Upon opening the package, I was a bit disappointed by the quality of "chair padding" but decided to give it a go anyway. The motors were adequately strong in sending off vibrations in the right parts of the body, but it didn't quite do it for me. Usually, I'd prefer stronger, shiatsu-style massages in the massage chairs. If strong vibrations are enough to relieve your stress- this may be for you. It was not for me.

doesn't really stay on the chair for a sloucher like me. the control falls out of the holder often. heat function is nice. doesn't really massage, just a bunch of vibrating motors. better than nothing!

My husband hurt his back so I bought this for him and he absolutely loves it. We are thinking about buying another one since we fight over who gets to use it.

I LOVE massages... this doesn't massage.. it vibrates.. I am not saying it doesn't feel nice.. but it doesn't do much to get rid of the tight tense muscles.. so depending on what you are looking for... if you just want something that will make your 15 minutes of sitting feel nicer.. this will work.. otherwise.. save your money.

It just vibrates. Not much to it. It got out nothing, it didn't really do anything... except make me feel like I had a neuropathy starting.

Its okay, heat is fair. The six pads, vibrate, not exactly massage. It has warnings, to use only for 15 minutes at a time. Many people tried it at a holiday dinner, its fun to try. I will use it, because I am too lazy to repack it and return it. I would prefer if it massaged better.

As our family members are getting older, health and comfort are more a necessity and are more serious considerations.
The mobility and flexibility of this unit gives it the advantage for many uses.
The heat with the vibration is so important for elderly circulation and relaxation. Now, Grandma doesn't have to give up her favorite chair! Just add this therapy to it.

I recently worked at a craft fair for a friend. She had brought her Back Therapist with her and put it in one of the chairs in the booth. I spent 3 hours luxuriating in the heat and the massage. The only problem I had was that when I stuck the remote into the cup holder on her chair, it kept turning the unit off. I'm going to dash out and buy one for my husband!

I have had my Back Therapist for about 3 years now, and I use it almost every day. I've had lower back pain for years due to an injury, and this is the only item I've used that relieves the pain and relaxes my back muscles. I highly recommend it.
