🏆 "Saviour of my neck pain!"

Fans say the massager works well to "relieve tension and soreness" and "promote circulation."
It's great for a "whole body massage," according to one shopper. "I use it at least three times per week." They say the warming function is the "perfect temperature for deep tissue," and it's "lightweight enough" to move around.
It "looks weird, but works great," echoes another reviewer. It's "magical" — the "saviour of my neck pain!"
Save 38 per cent on this neck and back massager for a limited time.
The reviewer describes it as feeling like someone giving you a massage with "just enough pressure to hurt as it should" while still being relaxing. "Take that, muscle knot!"
"I love that you can move it to get the knots just right" and read your book or watch TV at the same time. "The heat is also perfect for a soothing effect."
While the device has earned tens of thousands of five-star reviews, some note the massage was "a little more intense than anticipated."
The motor is "strong," but the knobs are "hard plastic and hurt when massaging," writes one reviewer.
Do you need it?
If you suffer from regular neck, back or shoulder pain, the Nekteck Shiatsu Massager may be worth trying, especially at its current sale price. Reviewers call it a "magical" device that delivers "just enough pressure" for muscle knots and tension. However, some find the massager "more intense than anticipated," something to keep in mind when making your purchase.
