There are various devices on the market that can offer you a deep Shiatsu massage but very few that deliver that massage where you probably need it most – to the neck.
This Shiatsu pillow changes that though by helping you to relax and unwind with a deep-yet-gentle neck massage. But it doesn’t only work on the neck either, it can also be applied to the calf, the abdomen, the upper or lower back and the thigh for a full body massage that really makes a difference. This is a smaller and more practical way to get a heated massage but does it really work as advertised?
Introduction
This tiny pillow is small enough to easily pack into a bag and take with you on the go and will offer a deep, relaxing massage wherever you are. Simply use it as you would any other pillow – by placing it on your favourite chair – and then let it work its magic on your lower back or neck.
This is a very well made product and it really does do what it says. The heating is gentle but relaxing and will help relax the muscles alongside the massage ‘nodes’ which will work out aches and knots. Because it’s small enough to move around, you can apply it directly to the areas where it’s needed and this is one of the big differences that the device offers.
Specifications and Features
The Zyllion ZMA Shiatsu Massage pillow is an incredible light device at 4.3 pounds and at only 6cm or 2inches large. This is perfect for travelling with and it means that busy executive-types can even get a massage right in the office. That also makes it a very good gift for anyone who is constantly stressed from work.
The small size is also reflected in the price which is just $44.95 at the time of writing. If you want a home massage device but don’t want to break the bank on a full massage chair, this is an excellent alternative.
The device comes with a pre-programmed 20 minute session with ‘auto-shut off’ to save battery and prevent overheating (the heat can also be turned on and off separately). It runs from the mains and is very simple to operate.
Reviews
Right now the product has an average rating of 4.5 on Amazon based on 1,899. That’s a very promising score indeed and the written reviews are just as glowing.
“This pillow has been absolutely amazing for me. I bought this to help with my neck and shoulder pain, and it’s been fantastic. The heat setting (there’s only one) is great, I often find that heating pads/ pillows don’t get hot enough for my tastes but this one does the trick every single time. The massaging motion is great, it’s like an elliptical that switches directions every few minutes and will dig deep if you like, or remain subtle…it’s completely up to your choosing.”
Conclusion
Overall, the Zyllion Shiatsu Pillow is the perfect device for anyone who wants a relaxing massage on the go. It’s affordable, flexible and allows you to precisely target stiff or achy areas of the body. You can even buy several and receive a full body massage!
