Aloha Lana...This chair only vibrates. For a little money more you can buy an IJOY massage chair that will do what you want as I have it also and it rolls up and down the spine and digs in to the scap areas. It is a true massage chair and is best priceded at Amazon and you can also get them at Costco too and try one out there. Best to find a dealer and go sit for a while and destress in the showroom! Good luck

No, it is a low-med vibration; I would try a shiatsu massager that is also available from amazon.

Yes, i will post a link, but if it doesn't show up, go to you tube, and put kneading massager in the search bar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5luRTIzKLbw

This is a percussion massager and as such may be a bit too hard on the head. Recommend a kneading massager.

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

There is a set of ball type massagers at the center that rest on either side of the neck/spine that pulsate or press depending on the mode. It can be a tapping to pounding motion. If you are looking for a deep tissue neck massage, this is a great product.

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!

I sent an email to the manufacturer and got a reply as below: SP-20H- Ultra Plush Shiatsu Pillow. This pillow has shiatsu massaging mechanisms that provide a deep, kneading massage.SP-25H- Ultra Plush Shiatsu & Vibration. This pillow has shiatsu and vibrating massage as well. (Discontinued)SP-30H- Shiatsu Massage Pillow. This pillow is not as plush as the other 2 and it only provides a deep, kneading massage with no vibration.

Try this: Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager #04120-600; Dual Speed Electric Heated Massager...cheaper too.

It's not a massage machine, it won't massage you for any good, but I would highly recommend this machine for acne use only :)

It's a good idea to have another chair available for a while, when I first started using it I could only go for an hour at a time, now I can use it all day though I typically only use it before lunch then switch to a conventional chair for the rest of the day. My next step will be a treadmill desk.

Only vibrates. I didn't really like it. You might be better with a shiatsu massager.

There is no heat and the massage is light it is vibration, good for relaxation. As far as the fit I am 6'2" and >250 it is fine.

The vibration is transmitted from the unit though your hand to whatever part of the body you are massaging. So I guess by extension I guess it does massage your hand too. This is a strong unit, much stronger than the other massage units that work on batteries. To get a true massage on your hand, you could put the unit on one hand and actually massage the other hand. Hope this helps.

Let's see, it has 20 different massage's 19 is a single type of massage and only 1 has several different massage programed. you can adjust the intensity from soft to hard tapping. The tapping is like someone fist pounding on you not rollers or thumbs. On your shoulders it gives a good massage and you hold on to the handle to lower it to your back, this is not for your neck as it says it is. The weight fells a little heavy but its about average for this type of massager.

I don't remember what the instructions said, but I would not use it that way as the massagers are very firm and full body weight in a reclining position could be painful. Check instructions. In my office chair it is perfect!
