I got a Homedics Shiatsu Message Cushion today

[brians2000]

Has anyone every tried a Shiatsu message cushion? If my back has knots in it the Cushion gets them out or makes them feel better. Some people think it pushes too hard but I like it. If you have knots you should have one. I bought it for about 80.00 thru Amazon.com. Brian

I got one for my wife this past Christmas and it really helps her loosen up the knots in her shoulders and neck. One way to keep it from feeling to rough is not to sit back on it as hard. I am glad it helps work out your knots and relieves some of your pain.

I had thought about getting one but then I tried a friends. It was way too strong for me, but then I didn't think about not leaning all the way back against it. I'm sure she would let me try it again so maybe I'll give it another shot the way Mark's wife does it.
Glad it works for you Brian.:)

Same here it is to much for my back and I can't handle it, most times the water from the shower causes my pain to increase.
Really glad it helps you though.

Lisa, you control the intensity of the action by how much you lean into it. I think if you try it again you will find the right amount of pressure to use and I think it does a great job when my muscles are knotted up. I hope you find it helps you out and are able to get one if it works for you.

You can also try placing a thick or thicker towel over it. It helped me because I felt it dug too deep too.
