Customer Reviews of Homedics Therapist Select SP-10H Shiatsu Pillow, Beige
Customer Review: I love my Shiatsu Pillow!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this massager! I want to marry it!! Best thirty bucks I have ever spent. I have problems with extreme muscle tension in neck, shoulders and upper back. This baby really works out the kinks and loosens me up, which gets rid of headaches, numbness in my hands and those 'walnuts' that I feel wedged beneath my shoulder blades. I use it to work out my calves, which keeps the plantar fasciitis at bay. And I also use it on my feet, which.... well, just feels darn good! With some experimenting, I have figured out how to get at just about every sore, aching spot that needs massaged. I have been using it at least 5x per week for the last 3 months and no problems with the unit. I hope I don't wear it out prematurely -- maybe I should buy another one while I can!Customer Review: Saved me many a time
Summary: 5 Stars
Had one of these for a long time. (Actually have two...one at home and one at work). Use the home one so often and so long...yes, I'm buying another so if it "dies' one day, I have its replacement. I use it for my poor posture and my neck muscle cramps. You have to get use to it and gently apply pressure until you know where the bone and soft tissues are (and resulting muscle 'knots' of tendons) are. Heat takes a while to get there so it's mostly massage but man, it has helped me get from no-go to "I'm getting a little better...feels good."
Reverse it (flip it over)sometimes to apply counter clockwise massage to a muscle area.
Has a twenty minute time that automatically shuts unit off. If desired, restart and you're good for another 20 minutes.
Customer Review: I keep buying these for people
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my mom so she would stop bugging me to give her shoulder massages. As soon as I showed her how to use it, I wanted to keep it for myself. Then I recommended it to a friend with chronic arm and neck pain... and after she tried it, I bought her one as well. I've never had a very satisfactory massage from a person... it's either too hard or too soft. I LOVE this pillow and I've finally bought one for myself as well.
Be warned: After the automatic shut-off, DON'T restart it and use it in the same place again... There's a reason for that auto-shut off. Otherwise your skin will feel really sore the next day. And you shouldn't push hard into the pillow. The mechanics are not designed to withstand immense pressure or abuse.
Customer Review: Pays for itself within a week

You can place this massager horizontally across any section of your back and it will hit any knot you have. I have discovered that if I place it vertically around my scapula, it is very effective at relieving headaches! You can massage only one side at a time this way, but it really works. I'm a pregnant mom of a toddler and I've got all kinds of kinks, knots, twists, and various back complaints. For 40 bucks, you can't beat the convenience of NOT having to get a sitter for your kiddo whilst you trek off to the chiropractor or masseuse. Even if it does break (comes w/ 2 yr warranty and Homedics is great about honoring this) in a month or so, I'll have gotten my money's worth. The heat feature is particularly nice. Comfy and quiet.Customer Review: No More Stress Headaches!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this pillow. It does have a very brisk massage action, but is exactly what I needed for my neck and upper back. I have stopped going to the chiropractor and the massage therapist in his office. I have had no heavy migraines since beginning to use the pillow. I use the pillow every other day at least, since I have a profound tension problem due to my posture. Using the skills I've learned from the chiropractor's office, along with frequent massage (20 minutes at a time - every day to every other day), I have found my answer!
I would recommend this for anyone needing deep massage. You can position the pillow on the lower back or other problem areas as needed. All Stars!
