“Yes, it does help by putting gentle pressure to help relax my shoulders and neck area/upper back while providing soothing heat or cold, depending upon what is needed for the troublesome tension or pain at the moment. I have always liked to use the rice bags (instead of heating pads etc.) to relieve the tension. Now with the ceramic beads I can have hot or cold wrap to use to work on my issue. I will be buying some for other members of my family for the winter season. I hear there is a 5lb pound size also. I have the 3 pound version but I can't wait to check the 5 pound one out.”
“I bought this for my brother who is in a wheelchair. It helps ease the stiffness he gets in his neck and shoulders. He uses it multiple times a day every day and has not had any problems. The scent is not to strong (which is a good thing) the only negative we have had with it is it doesn't stay hot as long as he would like but other than that its a great product.”
“After a year of massage and Motrin, this heatable, weighted neck wrap is providing relief. The high collar helps. I have the 5# version. Highly recommend”
“The material is soft but unfortunately this design is terrible. Aside from the separated neck section, the internal baffles aren't solid so gravity does its' thing and all of the heating material moves from your neck/upper shoulders/back to your front/chest.”
“I purchased this for my son who suffers from neck pain. I was very impressed by the quality of the item. Very soft, yet durable, calming aroma and the storage bag was a great extra! My son is getting good use of it. He says that it definitely help with his discomfort, and it retains heat from the microwave very well. I think that I will be purchasing one for myself in the near future. 😀”
“Most of the heading pads I've tried are uncomfortable, have cords that get in the way, stink when heated in the microwave, or only cover just one area such as the shoulders or neck but not both. This covers both shoulders and neck, has a pleasant essential oils smell when heated, and is heavy enough to apply pressure to the sore muscles. I liked this one so much I bought a 2nd to keep in my office.”
“These things are great. I am a circus/fitness instructor and ordered the 3lb one with the hopes that I could find some tension relief from my shoulders, especially because now I can go in to see my masseuse right now in the pandemic.I loved it cold and warm. Covered just as it is pictured.I also ended up ordering a 5lb one as well to if a heavier one would be different. And the weight is nice because u can warm it up or cook lot off and then do my squats and lunges. So I get my relief and some resistance for leg exercises.The smell isn't so great to me but I rubbed a bit of my own essential oils on them and warm them up and it's great. It does take on those scents nicely.There 3lb one is nice for comfort to add just a big of warmth and weight to relax the body.The 5lb one is nice for just really forcing those shoulders down and being able to do that along with some exercise.I highly recommend. They aren't going to work magic but I also have bought plenty of shoulder massagers and such as well and these are better in my opinion.Is say the warm, herding mine up for about 1mn 22s on both sides inside of the bag it comes with, the heat lasts about 30-45mns before I start to notice the heat cooling.”
