What does the back massage feel like? Is it a wave like motion or hard balls running up your back

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.

It is electric, you should be able to reach your upper back if you have no problems with your arms holding the massager. It gives very good sore muscle relief! I highly recommend it.

Apply lotion to your face/neck, insert attachment of choice and start on low frequency with the spoon shaped utensil on your forehead. This is the least intense and you'll get an understanding of the sensation. Don't be afraid at this level. It creates blood flow and can be considered enjoyable massage.

it was a gift for my dad so I don't use it but he says the massage is really more like a vibration. I don't think it is that great unfortunately :/

Vibrate is the fastest setting. There are knobs inside but they don't physically rotate...there is a fast rotating pulse from knob to knob...very massage like. My husband has to have a shot in his back every 6 months for a back issue. This really soothes his aching back. I use it after I work out for sore back and thigh muscles. I also put my grandchildren on it and it puts them to sleep every time. I think it's the combination massage pulse and warmer because a lot of times it puts me to sleep.

This massager has several speeds and three different heads so the intensity of the vibration to me feels like it is sort of tapping, depending on what part of the body you have it on, and which head you're using. This is a very good massager, very intense vibration even on low setting, the best massager I have owned, I hope this helps

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

Oddly it feels more pokey to your fingers (hard plastic) and doesn't seem it would feel good but is amazing on your back/neck. I don't know if it is the same exactly as acupuncture but I feel similar relief of symptoms. My whole family uses it and really likes it!

If you look at the picture you can kinda see the way the massaging rollers protrude...when placed on the spine its not gonna be so comfortable but because if it's size its easy to move around to find the right position that feels best for your back. Its still a significant size machine so no you can't really fall asleep with under you but if you're trying to find something to work out knots and massage sore areas it works good. If its a little rough maybe some light padding inbetween.with my housecoat on sitting on my couch using the zyllion I was very comfortable and you can choose to use or not use the heat option which is also nice.

Yes, the seat moves back and forth... you just feel it more in the upper back.

Yes it does. Press the "Lower Back" button. Then, you might have to adjust your position a bit so that it hits the lowest part of your back and rubs it nicely, but all you have to do is push yourself back a bit and then lean forward a bit to get a really nice massage on your lower back.

It's a rolling massage with three settings. Lower back, Upper back and entire back. The intensity of the massage is stronger if you flip the back cushion back.

It gets pretty loud on its highest setting but I think if it's on low you'll be fine :) my boyfriend loves it though! It helps get a lot of knots out of his back. It's too much pressure on my back when he massages me with it though so I don't like it. But if you like deep tissue massages then it'll be perfect :)

I have been using it to roll both my legs and my back -- in particular, my lower back. This is very good for muscle-related lower back pain. If your pain is more structural, I would be very careful. But when I lie on it and roll back and forth, it both cracks my back (much like a chiropractor), which feels good, and it works the lower back muscles in a very similar way to a massage. I have found it very helpful in relieving my lower back muscle soreness which comes from sitting too much and then working out hard. Good luck!

Vibration. This seat has various modes, speeds and intensities, so as far as vibration car massagers go, this is a decent one. I've had them with the massagers right down the middle which aggravated my spine. My only dislike with this one is that the two leg massagers poked into my legs and were uncomfortable, but I was able to fold the bottom cushion behind the back cushion and use it as extra lumbar support. Hope this helps.

I have not used that product; however, our other home medic was heavier and more powerful, and it would actually hurt when it was used on my back. This one does the massage work without the discomfort.

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.
