I unfortunately do not own one of these but as soon as I can pull together the £99.99 that they cost I will own one.

During my recent shopping trip to my large department store I was lucky enough to have a try of one of these massage cushions.

I was with my mother who has had problems with massage cushions in the past. We both have arthiritis in the spine (and everywhere else) and I have a misshaped spine.

I tried this massager in store and was 100% impressed with the results, we had been shopping for two hours and where both ready to go home as we were both in pain with the arthiritis. After a few minutes on this massage chair we were both able to carry on with our shopping trip. It eased the pain after only a few minutes and caused no irritation to my misshaped spine.

I talked my mother into having a try ad she also described an almost instant relief to the pains in her back. She would have purchased one there and then but neither one of us were able to carry it as it is quite a large box (but has got a handle to assist wwith carrying), she is going back to buy one with my brother this weekend.

It is easily controlled by a remote control and you can massage full back, lower back or upper back depending on your needs. It does not appear to be very noisy either. It is plugged into the mains electric to, It actually feels like a real proffesional massage. It is a padded cushion that looks and feels like leather with the massaging devices inside, they actually look as if they turn and they move up and down your back according to what setting you have it on.

The only problem I can see with it is that you need to have a high back straight chair to place it onto and that the rest of the family may be always using it. Or is that just my house.
