I have arthritis in my back, neck and hips. I try not to take much pain meds. Once this wrap is all nice and toasty and I sit down I slide the pack down my back and lean back on my chair. I honestly do not feel any back pain for hours until I stand. I use it at times on my hips when laying down and it does help some.
I am sure anyone who has pain will try anything to be pain free. this product is a winner and I am considering purchasing a second one to use against my hip while seated.
This also helps warm the body.

My mother was over joyed to receive this as a gift, and had to use it right away after hurting her back. After some time she seemed much more relaxed after using this product. It worked great for her. It even comes in a bag with handles. I think my mom will be taking this everytime she travels. Thank you!!!

This quite similar to the hydro packs my naturopath uses. It delivers moist heat. The weight makes it conform to the back and it stays in place. The right length too. I am short so it may not be long enough for all over heating for a tall person. Would recommend this to others.

There are small heat packs inside the wrap, so it actually doesn't have any positive effect on my shoulders (there are packs in the two parts that go over your shoulders, then none on top of your shoulders, then packs a couple inches down your back). Plus it smells pretty badly and doesn't get as hot as other wraps I've owned. :(

Very relaxing spa treatment at home. The warm moisture seeps into sore muscles and joints and is very soothing. I learned about these heat pads from my chiro who uses them in her office. Much better than electric heating pads.

Good product. Very pleasant smell and works well.
Does take awhile to warm it up, but it's worth the wait.

Bought this for my husband whose neck and shoulder muscles tighten up from spending a lot of time at the computer. He loves it! It provides a moist heat which feels wonderful. It has aromatherapy scents in it too, which smells nice, but my husband thinks he smells like a ham because of the clove (our dogs even sit at his feet). lol All kidding aside, it is a wonderful heat wrap and I would highly recommend it for anyone with neck, shoulder or upper back muscle aches.

While I can understand why some people find this heat pack too fragrant I find it has worked out well for my needs. I am using it to help an upper back issue. It is large enough to cover my entire upper back and truly gives moist heat. I will says that the fragrance is stronger than would be ideal but I don't find it offensive and I am hopeful that it wil diminish some over time as has been my experience with similar style heat packs. One other note, this heat pack is large enough to need a medium to large size microwave to heat it up. There don't seem to be a lot of full back heat packs on the market and I'm glad I got this.

This heat wrap has some real positives, but has a couple negatives that take away from its enjoyment. It holds heat great and actually seems to get warmer during use than it is when you first take it out of the microwave. It is soft and smells very nice. However, it is clearly designed to be used while lying flat -- if using in a sitting position (such as in office chair while working or on couch while resting) the design causes the filling to drop to the bottom of the pockets and makes it lumpy and inconsistent on where the heat is. Also, the shoulder portion doesn't seem to have much if any filling that would hit the top of the shoulders in any position, not even while lying flat. I am enjoying it and am glad I have it, but I will continue to search for the perfect solution for heating my chronic upper back & shoulder pain.

I would have given this wrap 5 stars if only they hadn't put in the relaxing herb fragrance. Not everyone likes the same aromas and after awhile they just get annoying, smelling them while it's wrapped near your neck. I love the fact that it holds the heat for a long time. I hope the fragrance fades over time.
