Product Description

Shiatsu, a Japanese form of massage, uses thumb and finger pressure on special points in the body to improve circulation, relieve stress, and more. This massager from HoMedics simulates the deep kneading pressure of shiatsu through two mechanical `thumbs,' which rotate rhythmically at the flip of a switch in either an inward or outward motion. Angled just right, the massager is designed for use primarily under the neck while lying down (for support, an inflatable head rest pillow with suction cup is included). Because the thumbs are not adjustable and work only the sides of the neck, those with thicker necks will find the massage more vigorous. The unit can also be placed under a calf or thigh while the user is propped up in bed, or under a foot while sitting in a chair (again, it will massage only the sides of the foot, not the sole). Two handles with rubberized grips make it easy to hold the massager against the front of the thighs or on a partner's back. With an extra-long 9-1/2-foot cord for good reach, the massager measures 14 by 10 by 5-1/2 inches, and is covered by a two-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
Amazon.com Product Description
Are you living your life in a cubicle, staring at a monitor day in and day out? The HoMedics SM-100 Therapist Select Kneading Shiatsu Massager will work wonders on your neck and shoulders with its powerful "thumbs-only," penetrating massage. 
The SM-100 massages your neck and shoulders. View larger. | With the feel of the thumbs of professional massage therapist -- but with the advantage that it will never get tired! -- the Therapist Select Kneading Shiatsu Massager will help to relieve pain and restore flexibility to your muscles. With a bonus head-rest that lets you lie on your back and relax for a penetrating neck and should massage, the massager can also be used on your arms or feet. Large rubberized handles make it easy to hold when you want to target specific areas, and a special angle lets you optimize the treatment on your neck. A two-way direction selector adjusts the kneading action inward or outward, and spring-mounted heads are designed for custom contouring to all body areas. The massager features a lightweight, contoured design for ease of use over your entire body, and includes an extra-long 9.5-foot power cord so you can experience your massage in the most comfortable location possible. Like all of HoMedics products, the Therapist Select Kneading Shiatsu Massager is built with high-quality craftsmanship and comes with a two-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

 Great for knocking out the kinks November 18, 2008
I really enjoy this product. It is great for getting out the tension, however, you may have to put a pillow on top of the kneading knobs because they are kinda hard.
 Was good while it lasted September 26, 2008
This was great while it lasted, but I have Fibromyalgia and tight muscles so I need a deep, hard massage and this machine didn't withstand that kind of pressure for too long before it broke. The arms on the roller were made of some kind of plastic and just broke.
 Very disappointed September 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Looking for relief from the constant muscle tension in my neck, I stumbled upon this massager. After reading the positive reviews I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this to anyone. The design of this product defies logic. No matter how you position this thing, it is terribly unconfortable to use. In my case, where I was trying to massage the base of my neck, I had to get in such an awkward position that I think I actually felt worse than before I used it. The other option is to hold it behind your neck rather than laying on it, but that only results in tired arms and shoulders.
LOVE THE UNIT BUT THE ROLLERS BREAK August 19, 2008
This is the second HoMedics Shiatsu style unit I've owned and both have ended up with broken rollers. This type of roller has a specific purpose for digging into those hard to reach places in the neck and right below the shoulder blades. Maybe I'm just too rough on it! I've switched to the HoMedics back pillow and like it very much. You can see my review on the problem I had with it, though.
Marybe if your neck is really big. July 28, 2008
I'm petite and bought this thinking I could get a good neck and shoulder massage out of it. Unfortunately, the massagers are too far apart to massage my neck. It's ok for the shoulders, but also doesn't seem to be made for someone my size.
