Does anyone have the neck &amp; shoulder pad and does it work well. How much area does it cover?

Yes and it does cover the neck and the shoulder areas. The heat is adjustable from 113 F to 149 F.

It doesn't wrap around the neck very well if it is all unfolded. It does fold in half or in a third the size though but it is hard to secure it around the neck. If you are planning on going to sleep with it on your neck I suggest this one instead www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JCXJTW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 as it is made to fit directly in that area. But I love this pad for my back and legs. A friend of mine had a bad car accident and bought this one and the one I suggested after getting out of the hospital. He falls asleep with that one on his neck and says it works great but uses this one for his shoulder/ back area. Hope that helps...

I love my heating pad. The extra length means I can get relief from my shoulders to my lower back, both problem areas for me, without ever having to move the thing around. Yes, I recommend it.

Yea, i was considering making some kind of armrest/heat shield there. Might help to use the shoulder strap, but i hate using them.

I have a large neck too and this fits well around my neck. The velcro closure is long enough to allow adjustment. You can make it snug or a bit loose. It fixed my neck issue within a few weeks. I had forgotten about it until this question. It fitted me well.

It is not recommended on the neck; but I have used it on my traps without issue. However, I did place the pads further from my neck and closer to my shoulder, just to be safe. The results were satisfactory.

Can't hurt to try. It's only about 12 inches long so it's not going to cover the whole lap area, but it may be enough to deflect the belt wearing at either end. It is rather thick.

I have the Elasto-Gel All-Purpose Therapy Wrap: 9 x 30 inches and the Elasto-Gel Lumbar -Back Wrap. The Elasto-Gel Lumbar -Back Wrap works good for the neck & shoulder area. The Elasto-Gel All-Purpose Therapy Wrap would be cumbersome to use for the neck & shoulder area. I do not own the Elasto-Gel Cervical Collar, but it looks ideal for the neck area; not too sure about the shoulders though. At some point I intend to get the Elasto-Gel Cervical Collar (since both my wife and I get neck pain off and on - sometimes at the same time) and at that point I will know more about the Cervical Collar.

I fastened it in the last place where the padding would meet because I thought it would be uncomfortable if I extended it. All there would be in the back part of neck is velcro. I think your neck would need the cushioning when you sat in a tall chair or were trying to sleep. I measured the interior where it would fit against the neck and it measured 21 1/2" and you need some "slack" to be comfortable.

I don't know, but I found that it did not work for me! I still had problems with sweat when practicing a long time as it did not keep me from slipping. I finally bought a good yoga mat ($75) for yoga and cut off about 6" to make one myself that repels sweat and slippage. I love that. I had to attach it with Velcro and the coffee closures on good quality bean bags to the actual chin rest. I have a center mount and cannot use a shoulder rest. Hope this info helps you. Jone

Yes, I use mine on the back of my neck on a low setting and on my shoulders. I love this machine because I can target four areas. I can do my neck and shoulders on both left and right side or my upper back and lower back once again on my left and right side. You get four pads and it targets the areas well. I love it.

it works great for me, you can adjust it to your height of the neck and width of your neck. would recommend this

The cushion on me..(5'5")reaches my head. But the rollers don't go to my neck, which would be nice! I'm buying a smaller one just for the neck area. Saying that, it is still a great massager for my shoulders down to my lower back.

I agree with Carrios and Lyn. I was a little worried about lack of padding, but did not actually find it a problem. I did wish there was a connecting strap across the upper chest sometimes. It still worked very well for two weeks' use in Europe .

Just layed on it 20 minutes ago. Good for neck and sub occipital areas haven't tried on low back but heard it works well there also from friends :)

The portion of the strap that would be on your shoulder is about 2.75" wide. The strap does have some padding in the shoulder area of the strap. It is not heavily padded but I think has sufficient padding. I don't use my bag daily since my laptop is used mostly in my home. So I haven't used it the way you do during your commute to work.

My dogs neck is 19 with lots of room to spare I stretch the collar out to 25" (counting buckle too) but I'm missing 6-7" of collar thanks to someone getting bored one day. Over a year later and its still the best on the Pyr and the blood hound method of training yet! (just remember to turn it off or you will be burning through battries quick!) Hope this helps, MBP
