Is it a vibrating massage or a kneading massage?

It is a kneading massage, it helps my back tremendously. I use it every day, whenever I sit and watch tv.

It is a kneading or Shiatsu massage, a simplified mechanical form of a professional massage. It is awesome! Vibration does get the flow of blood going, but it does not do the deeper muscle work that this machine does.

It's a kneading massage. There are cheaper ones available that vibrate, but I really don't recommend them.

it vibrates nicely and it traps and rotate vitration and tapping. Its a good one. Its not a kneading massager but I like it to use once a week it makes me feel good and loosen my muscles on back.

Since your posed the question that way, I would say it is an in-between massage. A truly deep massage can be done only by human hands.

It vibrates AND has kneading sections, but unlike knobs (rounded tops), they're flat, thin and oblong, much like a Fun Size Twixt candy bar. Very nice, with one in hand while enjoying a heated, relaxing massage.

The "pressing " option is the smoothest and the most gentle. The "rollers" are not felt as much as the other options. A fleece throw between your back and that of the chair is the answer when the rollers are too strong. This chair is more than I expected. Especially for the price. You can adjust the "width of the massage also. This allows the Pressure where you want it. So yes it is a wave motion on the pressing option.

I'm not familiar with the other massager but you control the location and pressure by where you place it on your body and how hard you lean into it. If I find a certain angle or spot is uncomfortable I just move it to a better spot.

Yes...it vibrates...however, when I saw all these options I thought it was more massage options, possibly different massages, but it basically vibrates at like 4 speeds, and you can choose the vibrating area...that's the options...mine never leaves the highest setting and the person I bought it for said it wasn't at all what they thought it would be

Hi Sasi, I did not try this, however I believe it wont work, because it does not move like and other massager, it only gives vibrations !

Per the definition:A Swedish massage features long, soothing strokes from light to firm pressure, depending on your needs. Shiatsu offers pressure point work performed along your energy.This is a Shiatsu Massager as it focusses on the pressure points and uses rhythmic pressure instead of rubbing and kneading.

Actually, I would not call it any kind of a deep massage. You can attempt to push your body into the massage pieces, to attain a little deeper effect. Overall, it gives more of a "vibration" massage. Feels good, but does not compete with a licensed massage therapist!

my view is that percussion causes vibration, so while it is adjustable, the higher settings givehigher percussion, which causes more vibration. Its not quite as strong as the older HoMedics Pro massagerbut still well worth the price.

It has variable vibrating massage. It goes through about a 10-minute cycle...going slower, than faster, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions. The chair is VERY comfortable and I'm pleased with the purchase!

I'm not familiar with a palm massager but that sounds awesome! All I know is that it has worked wonders on my shoulder/forearms/back!

Yes Sara, it's a big help with strength and dexterity. It would be perfect for starting to develop finger independence and probably help the quality of your massages :)

No. It is a chair and a very comfortable one, but there is no massage involved.

The massage therapist I went to started with the feet ...and brushed them up towards the heart...then moved to legs...then back, then arms...then neck..everything moving towards the heart. She spent about 15 min total...and it was heaven. She said it wakes the body up to accept massage better!

It buzzes. sort of. Vibrates. Doesn't really massage. There's no rolling or anything. Just vibration.
