Just as good as a muscle relaxer!

I know this product is for cellulite but my mother actually stumbled on to the fact that this stuff was magic in a bottle, now everyone in my family has a bottle in their medicine cabinet. I can't speak to the cellulite ridding properties of this oil, but I can tell you that it is great for aches and pains. My favorite use for this little beauty is my migraines. The minute my head starts hurting I just massage some of this oil on my neck and temples and sit back and let it do it's stuff. No more aches for us!

I started using this DVD when stretching and doctor's visits resulted in nothing more than more medication in my medicine cabinet.  I have used this for 3 weeks and have really noticed improvements in the lack of aches and pains in my legs and ankles.  I feel so much better at the end of the day no matter what type of work out I have done.  Helps me to completely relax at the end of a day!!

I received this Hand Grip Strengthener and started using it right away to give myself a little stronger grip to improve my golf swing. The first thing I noticed is how soft the spring in the Hand Grip Strengthener is. At first it alarmed me as I reasoned that the soft response of the spring would not give me the strong grip I was looking for. As I kept using the Hand Grip Strengthener it dawned on me that I had been using it a lot longer than I used my old Hand Grip Strengthener with the extremely hard spring. I noticed that my hand wasn't cramping with the soft spring of the new Hand Grip Strengthener. That is when I realized that the softer spring was better for me because my hand wasn't cramping thus I used the new Hand Grip Strengthener longer and was getting a far better workout. Realizing this I decided to give the Hand Grip Strengthener five stars. If the spring is too tight and makes it hard to squeeze you will most likely not workout as long as you will with the softer feeling spring. So the softer spring is probably better for your hands. I received this Hand Grip Strengthener at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. In my opinion the Hand Grip Strengthener is well worth buying.

If you are one of those lucky people who get neck cramps, step forward. I once had a professional masseuse comment that she never had a customer whose neck and shoulder muscles were so knotted in her career; this was from a lady who was a sports therapist who treated the Cleveland Cavs, too. So as you can imagine, anything that can help my neck feel less like a clenched fist is a true blessing. Enter: the Etronic Ultra Comfort Massage Travel Pillow.

Construction

I will say that the pillow was a little bit smaller than I thought that it would be; I have another travel pillow that is bigger, so maybe it is my perception, but this does seem a bit tinier than a standard-sized travel pillow. Otherwise, there are no other issues in regard to the construction of the Etronic Ultra Comfort Massage pillow that I could find. Finally, note that the pillow does require two AA batteries to operate the massage motor; they are not included with the packaging and you will need to supply them.

So Soft and. Oh My Gaw Is that a two-stroke engine?!?

The first time that I turned the Etronic UCMTP (for short) on, it seemed LOUD! So I had my boyfriend test it out while I stood a few feet away; I wanted to hear it from an outside perspective to see if it really did sound like a weed eater or if I was simply off my nut.

Short answer: I was off my nut, sort of. The vibration does create some noise, more if you are 1) wearing the device, and 2) if the device is resting against just your shoulders, e.g., you are not resting your head against something, such as a headrest or back of a cushion. With that being said, from an observer standpoint the noise is nowhere near the level of a weed whacker. So no worries, kiddies, you will not irk your neighbor on an airplane!

Does It Work?

If you are looking for a soothing massage to gently relax your neck muscles, then the Etronic UCMTP is an excellent choice. The variable settings allow you to choose a vibration pattern that suits the type of massage that you want; in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the UCMTP make sure that you are resting your head and pillow against a surface. If you do not, there is a good possibility that you will not feel the massage at all.

The six different settings adjust the vibration speed to accommodate the type of massage that you want at that time. There are two different types of settings: by clicking through them using the Mode button on the pillow, you can control whether you would like a constant vibration, an alternating pattern, or a series of bursts. While each setting was distinct, I was unable to ascertain too much difference between the intensity of the speeds in the bursts and alternating patterns. What I did detect was very subtle, and sadly, not enough to really justify calling it a different setting.

Final Say

The Etronic Ultra Comfort Massage Travel Pillow is a soft, comfortable, and provides a relaxing massage at a moderate noise level. The pillow includes a handy elastic strap that enables you to secure it to your luggage and/or headrest. You will need to supply your own AA batteries, and to get the most out of the pillow you will want to have your head resting against a surface while you have the massage function turned on, otherwise you may feel little-to-nothing at all.

In short, this is a nice massaging pillow at a moderate price that is very comfortable and functional. Whether you are traveling by air or by land, having the Etronic Ultra Comfort Massage Travel Pillow as your travel buddy will definitely make the trip more relaxing.

I have had lower back problems most of my life.  I discovered the similar Precor stretching machine at the gym, but it was considerably more expensive on Amazon.  Bought this one and it is every bit as good!!  I use this every day, and even more if I have been out and come home with a sore back.  It stretches just the right muscles and provides great relief.  I like the cards with other stretches too and am enjoying good stretches for my hips, legs and upper back as a nice bonus. It will pay for itself with money I won't be spending going for massages or to the doctor.  If you have any back problems, believe me, I've tried EVERYTHING - and this is the BEST!!!

I have found tremendous relief from chronic low back and shoulder pain with my Gravity Pal. My muscles can deeply relax on it. It has a simlar effect as my chiropractor's traction table--my muscles feel slightly stretched, looser afterwards. There just seems to be more space and length in the back side of my body from using the Gravity Pal. My pinched nerve pain is diminishing. I feel more clear-headed after using it too, maybe from more blood flow to the brain? A very cool product. My great grandmother attributed her long life in excellent health to her slant board which was similar to this one--I'm so glad that someone has made a new and improved version and that this simple but very effective technology is out on the market once again!

Our chiropractor has a version of this in his office, so I knew I would love it.  But, after getting this machine I found that this one is even better than the one in our chiropractor's office!  Ten minutes on this machine gives my body a real cellular workout.  The vibrating really helps my circulation, which is the reason to get this machine.

If your body aches, then this vibration machine is for you. It has helped my back, my knees, my neck and my legs.

Having recently done PT over the last few months for a strained hamstring, this item -- while not as powerful-- is a great substitute.  The gel pads have gone through over a dozen sessions and I can probably get another 15-20 uses before I need to start thinking about replacing them.  Once I'm all healed I'll appreciate having this around for post-run stretching and the occasional sore back.  Well worth the investment.

This is a necessary tool at the end of some long days.  I find it to be relaxing and enjoyable and so nice to do.  You may not get into each stretch fully the first time around, but the more often you do it, you actually find yourself going futher than the last time and progressing well if done often enough.  Your flexibility really improoves.
The first workout is done on the floor, the next is on a stability ball and the last uses dyna bands which you can easily find in stores or come with some dvds.  You'll lengthen and stretch almost every muscle you have, and it's definately a workout you can do later at night (where some aerobic ones might keep you awake a little - this is great before bed).  Cathe is a great instructor and talks you through it easily enough so you don't always have to turn to look at the tv.  I enjoy it and hope you'll try it too.

First I recommend using any massage/rolling product over clothing and not on bare skin.  I've tried a couple of other massage bars but this one is great!  I am buying another one to keep one at home and one at work.  Small enough to toss in gym bag, but big enough to do the job.  I was skeptical at first, but within the first 30 second of use, I was hooked!  Just as effective as foam rolling on my legs, but I don't have to get down on the floor to do it, and can use it at work while seated at desk.  If you put one end on your desk or on your leg, hold the other end upright with other hand, you can self-roll/massage one of your arms too.  Apply more pressure for a better massage. Your muscles with thank you!  No other little self massage item I have works as well as this.  I will travel with it for sure.

I LOVE this muscle mower! It helps loosen my muscles and I feel less likely to get an injury because I can target areas that are sore or tight before I stretch and do a workout. Can definitely feel a difference!

I was given one to cool down my knee after physical therapy and loved it!  I went home and purchased one immediately.  It feels so much better than a frozen gel pack and completely surrounds the sore knee.

Feels AMAZING! I've been using it on my back and my legs. My son even loves it! Rolls great and easy to use.

I actually purchased this item for my husband and he LOVES it! He loves the length, the size and of course, the bright color! I've used this myself and I love how easy it loosens up my muscles!

WOW, what a tea! And, I don't just mean the flavor! This tea makes me feel so relaxed almost like I have taken a mild tranquilizer but actually I've only drank herbs that are good for me. I think it may be the Hops herb in there creating that chill-axed mode. When I am feeling stressed out, drained, worrying, etc., etc., etc. from things piling up on my shoulders, I take one or two bags (two if I'm over the top stressed) and some hot almost boiling water and let the tea bag steep for quite a while so I get the full benefits of the tea. I may leave the teabag in for 30 minutes to an hour or more, (or less time if I'm at my wits ends and need it immediately, lol). I never have any adverse reactions to it. Just calm peaceful state is what I am left with. The tea is nothing short of amazing, I kid you not. The only thing is I try not to drink it too late in the evening because it has B-6 and B-12 in it which supports the nervous system and aids depression/anxiety but also may give a little energy as all of the B vitamins do. It has a form a ginseng as well, called eleuthero, which is a balancing herb that tonifies the body and mind so that balances out the B vitamins in the tea. Hard to explain but it sort of relaxes but balances and takes that strained, drained, stressed out feeling away. It's honestly a great tea.

If you are looking for natural help with stress and all of the physical and emotional symptoms that comes along with that give the Tension Tamer tea a try. It is not always available in stores but every now and then I do see it. Can't depend on that! So, I buy this in the 6 box count from Amazon so that I never run out! I do not take any forms of tranquilizer whether be prescribed or not as those things never worked right for me. They gave me unwanted side effects and and are also addictive. Not going there. But, this tea, will drink it in a heartbeat! And, low and behold, it actually works!

Dear Friends,

I have been enjoying the use of this tape for many years. It has four separate 20 minute relaxation sessions on it.  Some have muscle tension progressive relaxation exercises, which are fantastic.  But my favorite session is "A Trip to The Beach."  It is a guided imagery session that relaxes you, takes you on a trip to the beach, and guides you in seeing your body as healthy and strong.  You can use this tape for an afternoon relaxation session, or you can use it as you go to sleep at night.  Even though it will bring you "up" at the end, I have never had a problem just sleeping soundly through it when it is bedtime.  I've used this tape when going through severe health challenges and stressful situations.  My husband also enjoys listening to it at night. I highly recommend it.

Have to confess that I received it as promised.  The instructions are easy to follow and all that Chuck Norris says is true.  It is very easy to use, but let me tell you; Take it Easy!  The sore muscles of the naive out of shape "mature" individual will last for at least a week!

I am sure that I will use it again, this time with a program in mind as found in the instructions.

Very  happy I did purchase and will not be collecting dust.
