...I bought this massager as I have been suffering neck pain, and sore shoulders/upper back. The 'rolling' massage action seemed like a good idea to get right deep into the tissue. On arrival, this massager seemed bigger than I expected, and slightly heavier than I thought it would be, However, due to its shape, its very easy to hold, and I found I could use it across my shoulders on my own without difficulty.

Maximum spin rate. 1400 rpm although this can be altered via a dial to anywhere inbetween to 600 rpm. There is also the option to have a 'rinse hold' setting which I am told will help reduce...
