Can this machine be used on acupressure points? Could someone say what the settings are?

My husband had neck surgery and uses it on and around his back and spine. We own several brands. He said this is one of his favorites.

It has a pamphlet showing where it can be safely placed. For example, trigger point on the bottom of your foot and areas away from your spine and head. It feels as strong as those I've experienced in physical therapy clinics. It's a relief to be able to afford one of my own.

I don't see why not. I haven't but the machine is adjustable for ball height whether it is a super soft or soft are balls. But this machine rocks and it is the best thing I bought. Makes our practices go so much smoother!

Jocelyn, I can't answer your question because I sent mine back. If you haven't ordered yet, I'd advise you to look around a little more. I found the machine too hard to hold. There was wild vibration for the hand holding it, while it should be only for the massagee. Good luck! Margaret

In a low-backed chair I hold onto both handles, lean forward slightly after turning the machine on, bring it over my head and place it where I need the pressure. Usually I have the large part of the motor housing facing downwards. The best is when lying down on your bed and adjusting the pressure on your neck and shoulders by putting a pillow under your shoulders to put you body higher than the Massager. If I want more pressure, I just get a thinner pillow or folded bath towel. Sometimes I reverse the position of the machine 180 degrees depending on what part of my spine needs pressure. But, as you noticed, it is heavy and clumsy. I would have designed it with the orbiting "fingers" off-set higher than the motor housing to get better contact with my trapezoid muscles by my neck and shoulders. All things considered, even though it's not perfect, it is better than the other gadgets I found.

The pressure doesn't seem high to me unless I twist the unit to engage the "massage" feature, which I never do anyway. My home water pressure is between 40 & 60 psi, which is the most common range in the US, so you should be good to go unless you have unusually high pressure like people sometimes get with public utilities when they are very close to a water tower.

I really don't know. There is no indication on the machine that shows pressure levels.

no it seems the machine doesn't work in that sense, at least not for me. They lied about that. I haven't used it since a week after I got it because it's too easy and can not be adjusted. I would not recormend buying this machine...

There is nothing on this machine or in the manual to indicate the answer. Apologies.

Dont buy this machine. It hardly has any pressure. I returned mine and the seller gave me an extremely hard time and didnt refund all of my money. It puts out as much pressure as the ones you get for a 10 gallon fish tank. I bought to use for airbrushing my nails and it clogged several times.

I know you are never supposed to use any kind of TENS machine on the neck, face or chest, as it can affect heart rhythm. I use it on my back, hips and legs....if you need a specific area, google tens machine and the area, and you will come up with a better answer for those areas than I can give you...I want you to know though, I get nice relief in the areas I mentioned!

I wouldn't know. I had a cpap machine that did not have the little metal spot that makes connection with the metal spot on the hose. if you notice one end of the heated hose has an extention on one end. That is the metal spot that makes the connection for heating the hose. I wish we had that type of machine as heating the air prevents cold nasal pain. I had to send this one back.

Yes, you can adjust the pressure with a botyom on the side of the machine or you can use a 211 tip for less pressure.

I tried it on my neck and tried to position the pads where my acupuncturist puts the electric pins into my neck. It resulted in a very unpleasant feeling in my neck and throat. So I'm saying do not use it on your neck. I took one for the team and can tell you that my body sent me a strong signal to stop the treatment as soon as I started.

My husband has used it to lower his blood pressure and it has worked really well for him. I went and bought the machine for my friend and my brother as well. They both love it! So, the answer is YES. :) I use it to meditate and to do deep breathing just for general health. I have trouble unplugging so this helps me stay focused.

This machine is great...I have not used it to run my cpap yet, but I Dont see why it can't. I plugged a serge proector to it and ran a lamp most of the night. I have watched a 50" TV with it. I have even used a induction cook top with it. I love it, I keep it charged and ready at all times.

I'm sure it's possible but these machines do not function well. I'd suggest looking at another brand. I returned mine within days of receiving it.

Only gentle force should be used with this unit. Even seated, the pressure can be intense. Laying down on it would probably be very painful, not to mention damaging to the mechanism.
