Product Reviews of Homedics SBM-200H Therapist Select Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat
Product Review: GREAT for my chronic back pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this product. I have chronic back pain related to bulging discs and bone spurs in my thoracic spine. Being on my feet all day at work exacerbates the pain.
I get a sharp pain just to the left of my spine in the mid-upper back area. The Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with heat does relax my muscles and helps to alleviate the pain.
I prefer to use the heat setting with the massage, but it is optional. The roller mechanism is spaced well for my frame, and it exerts a good amount of pressure. If it's too much, you can always put a towel between your back and the cushion.
I'd definitely recommend this product. I'd suggest that anyone with a chronic health problem consult with a professional before using it. However, I don't see any major contraindications for most people.
I'm very glad I've found something that finally helps with my back pain.
Product Review: Given As A Father's Day Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
One of these was in a local store for demo purposes. Each time we went to that store my husband would go sit in the seat until I was done and ready to go....pretty much a no-brainer as to what he wanted for Father's Day!!! He uses it daily and so does everyone that comes over. Great product and definitely well liked and used a lot in this household. Would and have recommended it to everyone.Product Review: Gives a good hard massage
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for my wife and she loves it. She likes to place a blanket on the back because she said it was too hard. One of her friends came over and tried it and said she likes it hard.Product Review: Good Bang for the Buck
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
There are a few things you need to know about these massage chairs, First of all, they are not a complete replacement for a professional masseur/masseuse or physical therapist. Second of all, you generally get what you pay for...for better or worse. Thirdly, general use models are fine for releaving the tenseness that can come from a hard day's work or a poor night's sleep but are not designed for chronic problems that may require more serious relief. In other words, don't expect an inexpensive massage chair to substitute for the very expensive therapist in relieving the pain associated with the car accident you had a few years back.
With those restrictions in mind, the Homedics SBM-200H is an excellent inexpensive low level massage chair that does exactly what it is designed to do - relieve back tension with a combination of rotating massage and heat to basic areas of the back. The two rotating heads can be set to do the upper, lower, or full back and has the additional option of applying heat from the rotating heads. Depending on your sensitivity, the heat may become a little uncomfortable for some and it may help to use it until it begins to reach your tolerance, turn off to let it cool, and then reapply the heat again. Given the very competitive pricing, it is an excellent investment for the relief of back tension and pain due to normal levels of stress.
Product Review: Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited a couple of months before writing this and I have to say I love this thing. It is quite powerful and probably not for everybody. It took me awhile to get used to it but I look forward to my nightly massage while I watch the Wheel and Jeporady.
