“This is a great heating pad for the shoulder if looking for heat. The fit and heat was perfect and like the remote BUT not sure the vibration type massage provides any real benefit.”
“My right shoulder suffers severe chronic pain from a torn rotator cuff and osteoarthritis. Although the device is a challenge to put on and adjust myself because of the lack of motion in the shoulder, once I succeeded in getting on it provided the best relief I have had from the pain and I experienced substantially increased painless range of motion in the shoulder. The main benefit comes from the degree of heat the device delivers. It is much greater than that available from heating pads. The massage effect seemed to relieve the osteoarthritis discomfort long after I removed the device. The seller's information that the device emits an odor when heated is correct, but the smell is slight and is similar to that of my rubber scuba diving masks. It is insignificant when comapared to the theraputic benefits of the device. With a bit of ingenuity in adjustment and positioning of my legs, I was able to use the device to deliver equally beneficial heat and massage therapy to my knees with equivalent results to those provided to my shoulder. The remote control is a bit quirky, but after a bit of practice I was able to out think it's deficiencies and get it to work just fine. Because of the high temperatures reached and the complexity of use of the remote control, however, I would not recommend use of the device by cognitively impaired persons or persons having manual dexterity impairment or persons prone to falling asleep during use unless under the direction and close continuous monotoring of an adult caregiver who is present and observant during the use. I am a 76 years old male and other than getting the device on my shoulder the first time and figuring out the rather minuscule remote, I have had no other problems with it so far. If the device fails in the near future, I shall update this review.”
“Typical Chinese POS! Used 4 times on lowest settings and yesterday the vibrator just stopped all by itself. Heater still works but torn rotator cuffs need both heat and vibration. Return window closed just a few weeks ago with no way for restitution, so this cost me about $10 per use! Look for a American brand!!!!!!!!!”
“It sadly it not as advertised. I'm a larger female. 5'10, 165lbs, broad shoulders. After having shoulder surgery years ago and shoulder pain daily i was excited for the product.Pros- it heats very well, like a high powered heating pad. The vibrations are very strong. Similar to the electrode unit without the shock effect.Cons- it's incredibly bulky. No matter how tight i made it, at least 40% of it wasn't touching my body. It mainly worked as adversided on my bicep area. For me that is not helpful. Puttingit on alone, plugging it in and finding an outlet close enough (short power cord) were all difficult tasks. I'm sending it back.”
