Best purchase I've made for myself in awhile! I had a spinal fusion a couple years ago and have struggled with constant aches and pains in my lower back ever since. I'm still sensitive in that area but this pillow has just the right amount of intensity - it doesn't hurt me but it is strong enough to really work my muscles. The heat is what makes this pillow an absolute win for me as I find it extremely helpful in alleviating my back pain. It will take 10 minutes or so before the heat is at its peak, but it's worth the wait. I love that the size and shape of the pillow are versatile enough to be used on different areas of the body - from the head/neck to lower back to hands and feet. I'd highly recommend this pillow for anyone who suffers from chronic back pain

Perfect massager. Helps with my upper back pain and headaches.

Prior to children, I got tension headaches from my desk/phone job...now that I am a mother to three I've had on and off tension headaches for other reasons....some from 2 year old days....others from nursing in strange positions to get the baby to sleep. Recently, the headaches have been daily which make for very long miserable days. This massager was a lifesaver!!! At this point in my life I do not have time to go get a massage as much as I'd like. When I do finally make it to a massage that hour session doesn't even touch the neck and back issues I have. This was the BEST money I have spent on myself in years!!! I use it on my neck, shoulders and back. My husband has even snatched it a few times in the evening during our sans kids time. He also works behind a desk and phone so he is reaping the benefits as well. I also LOVE the heat feature. I will be purchasing several of these as gifts!
Teressa W.
It works well to relieve neck tension. Recommended
Daniel S.
Perfect thing. Works great for my stiff neck. Delivered in 7 days. Thanks

I'm a digital artist, and after a day being hunched over my tablet, my neck and right shoulder hate me with passion. This little device has helped me get rid of this pain and regain the ability to turn my head and use my right arm so many times since I bought it. I keep it in my office for those times when the pain catches up to me during the day. It's a wonderful little massager, and I don't want to ever be without it.
Artan P.
This is delight!!! Brilliant Thing! Excellent massages, I hope, will last a long time! Very fast delivery to Moscow by courier in a week

Quality is super. 3 speeds. Massaging my neck every night. Relaxes perfectly. I recommend
Robin G.
This thing is amazing for knots! Although my husband gives great massages, when positioned properly, it hits all my knots in my upper back and shoulder area. I carry my stress in those areas and my neck. The heat element is perfect too, not too hot. I am a healthcare worker who is on my feet, bending over, pushing, pulling up to 50 pounds for 13 hours a day. This product is perfect. It came with a wall AC and a car cigarette lighter adapter.
Betty C.
I am loving this massage pillow. So far i had it for just a couple of days but this thing really gets in there and works out the knots, and you can do this with or without heat. It can feel uncomfortable at times on certain areas of your body but the payoff is great if you push through it. You can also control the comfort level by putting more or less pressure on it. Some areas (like the lower back) I could just leave it there for hours...it feels so good. I see our family getting much use out of this. Great product! Great buy!
Robert S.
I have been using this massager for a few days and so far I like it. The heat option is very nice. It takes a few tries to position the massager for personal comfort, but once you find your “sweet spot” it works quite well. I wish the strap to attach it to a chair were longer or had an extension strap. The current strap isn’t long enough to use with my recliner. It’s a good product and the company provides good customer service.
Harry F.
This thing is amazing. the motion it also does heat! I had tried other massagers to deal with lower back pain due to degenerative discs and this one outshines all of the others. So far, I have influenced 3 other people to purchase and we all have the same opinion; excellent product!
Given the car adapter and straps, you can actually use while driving; life changing for those long drives!
Faith E.
Superior massager!! I have sciatica issues and have bought other massagers which never seemed to hit the spot. This massager has balls that are spaced well in order to move and heat on each side of the spine. I like that I can also use in the car with the ‘car plug’.
Once I figured how to plug it in very tightly when I use it at night it does not come loose once i settle into bed to massage my sciatica area.
The company also graciously honored their one year warranty when my first massager stop working.
Alice T.
I love this thing, I use it for my feet, my head my neck, my back legs. I lay on the bed on move it down my body and lay on it in place. I can handle a deep tissue massage and that's what it feels like if you lay on it. Easy to position in the spots you want use it on. Used on boyfriends back, pressing and holding it in place instead of my hands, he loved it.
Brad W.
I have occasional back pain, that can flair up and send me to bed. A friend had loaned me this massager, and WHAT A RELIEF! This massager has 8 rolling balls that rotate, which kneads the areas on each side of your spine. I also use this on the back of my legs, when my legs are sore. It's so nice to have a device that works wonderfully to relieve muscle pain. The massage is timed to 15 minutes, so don't worry if you fall asleep :-)
Amy B.
I absolutely LOVE this product. I've had it for almost a year and it still works fantastic! Now, a few tips. 1) Add a towel on top before using. It does get warm, but not unbearable but it's mostly to help with the pain of the rollers. I can handle pain pretty well in my back from a massage but feel more comfortable with a towel. 2) For a deeper massage, lay on the floor or a bed (still using a towel). I find that laying on it rather than using it in a chair works far better for me. I adjust it and move it around to hit the knots. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this thing!
Jack R.
I was a little skeptical but the amount of reviews and stars pushed me to purchase this massager. I have spinal stenosis, bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and a nerve root that is touching something back there, so nerve pain. THIS IS AMAZING. It's good pressure, good heat. Only lasts 20 minutes but I turn it right back on LOL. I will usually be sore the day after using it but it's because I keep turning it on over and over all day long. The soreness of my skin is nothing compared to my back pain from sitting in a chair all day coupled with my 1 hour commute to work. Recommend!
Debra H.
I like this a lot, I've used this several times. I wouldn't say it's the best product but it works pretty well and is easy to bring into my car when I need to. I've gotten bruises on my back from using this, but it sure feels good tho. Have a little bit of issue using it on my neck but don't think it's really meant for that, other than that it works pretty good.
Owen D.
I’m a former athlete and have had pain most of my life. Still do. One of the best treatments we ever got was deep tissue massage. But It was impossible to tell the massage therapist the exact points and by the time they found a pain point, there wasn’t enough time for them to spend on it. This product solves both those issues and for pennies compared to the thousands I’ve spent on massages. This product is tops. It’s right up there with the spoon and the wheel. Simply a must have. Good for every part on your body. Nothing is better than Netflix and self directed shiatsu massage with this thing.
Frank B.
I was hesitant to buy a massager thinking it wouldn't really help with my back pain. I've had chronic lower back pain for over 10 years. I'm glad I did though! While it doesn't treat the cause of my back pain, it is a great relief for my muscle stiffness. I like it better than the creams and TENS units I've tried in the past. I also love that is has a car adapter because long trips normally involve more pain for me. I'd recommend everyone to try it!
Elizabeth W.
My husband has chronic low back pain. I simply cannot recommend this highly enough. He used it for the first time last night and it gave him a tremendous amount of relief. So much so that he cancelled his appointment with his chiropractor for tomorrow. He used it this morning to get rid of some leftover stiffness from sleeping last night and it worked wonders. Anyone who suffers from chronic back pain should buy this - one can always send it back but I doubt anyone will.
Tina F.
Had long term knot in my upper hip area. The heat and motion in addition to an excellent PT finally unwound the problem after several months. The beauty of this unit is that I could use it 2-3 times a day - way more than I could have done w PT only. I often ran it 2 cycles in a row. Its good it has a limiter cause I think there are times one could over do this . It can really WORK a spot and you don't want to be excessive. The size may make it hard to position for some issues but it worked well for me. Nice to have the relief now. Haven't had to use it for several months now. worth the price and seems durable.
Peter H.
I work on the computer for hours and was looking for a massager with kneading motion to relieve neck and shoulder tension. This product works great it really helps to work out knots in those hard to reach places in the shoulder blades. Works best for me when lying down. I usually put a towel over the massager to help reduce the pressure of the massager.
George A.
This product is simple to operate and is effective at massage and muscle pain relief. It's also quite ergonomic in its design in the way it can be attached to chairs for massage on your back and neck. Very versatile in the way in which it can be easily transferred from massaging one part of your body to another. I also like the heating part and that it can be turned off independently to the motion function. What would make this product awesome? Battery! The cord is really annoying at times and limits the places where it can be used. Given the price and functionality I would definitely recommend this product.
Anna D.
I have been suffering from chronic lower and shoulder pain for the past 4 months. It would hurt to bend over or even just sit sometimes, and I couldn't even do yoga fully. Mind you, I am only 19. Started attending physical therapy and did exercises for my back- those did not help much. Bought this with the hope that it would slightly help me feel better but OMG it was amazing. First time I used it was on my lower back- felt pain but eventually felt so good I almost fell asleep. Now, my knots are gone!!!!!! there is little to no more tension in my lower back, and honestly, I could not be happier. If you are suffering from what I was going through, PLEASE get this.
Brian C.
I have had chronic lower back pain, and spasms for nearly 7 months now. I had been looking for a serious relief solution anywhere and everywhere, and came across this pillow one day. At first o thought the price was a little much but you get what you pay for. With the added heat to the massage my muscles feel soothed as the massage is taking place. The massager itself bruised my back after a long massage session but I have read that is a good sign and when the bruising subsides it’s time for another massage, I found to be true. so worth my money, I recommend it!
Adam R.
Literally the best decision I ever made! This is seriously the best in terms of strength, versatility (you can place it anywhere and lean up against it), and heat to work out massive knots in my shoulder blades and neck. I used to pay $100+ for deep tissue massages every two weeks or so. This replaces a professional masseuse.
Eddie G.
I've had this for a couple of weeks and been using it almost daily. I used to go get a massage about once a week (because of chronic lower back pain and shoulder stiffness), but the cost was getting to me, and I wanted to find a cost effective alternative. This does a pretty good job of hitting the right spots since I can position the pillow where I want it. The heating feature is really nice on painful stiff areas, and the rollers on this massage pillow are also very strong, so much so that if it rolls over bony areas, it really hurts. Because of that, it can be difficult at times to position it just right, to get the knot but avoid the bone at the same time. Since I use it so often, I'm a little concerned about the wear and tear and how long this machine will last, especially since the rollers sometimes make creaky noises , but I will have to wait and see. Overall, this was a great buy and would recommend to others who want a simple massager on hand at home.
Susan E.
I absolutely LOVE this massager! I have had back issues my whole life and am constantly asking my husband to rub my back or spending lots of money on going to get messages somewhere. Now, if my back feels tight I just go sit and lean on this. It feels so good. You have to be careful to pace yourself the first time. It felt so good I stayed on it for quite awhile and the next day my back felt kind of bruised to the touch. Now I know to not put full weight when leaning back on it. I use a pillow to support upper back if using on my lower back and visa versa. The price is great.
Connie R.
I bought this for my mom for Mother's Day who has recently been diagnosed with Osteoporosis in her lower back. I was so nervous as to wether or not she'd like it or even be able to use it. But all is well bect she LOVES this thing! It runs in 20 minute cycles which is perfect. The added heat function is wonderful and had helped her a lot. This is NOT an ideal massage device for your car seat though. It may really depend on what style your seats are but in my mother's 09 Honda Civic, it actually causes discomfort. It's a great product and well worth the money!
Trevor R.
We keep this on the couch so you can use it while watching television. It's great for those tight knots in your muscles. I use it on my back, neck and calves. Highly recommend!
Denis F.
So my wife and I have different ailments/annoying kinks. Ya know, getting old. Hitting the ol' 30 somethings. This badboy works really well. sometimes a bit too well. If you leave it going for a while, expect to be a beat up a little (but in a good way) or just ya know turn it off. Worked great for her calves, and lower back, my upper back (especially near my lower trap/rhomboid area), also worked on my ankles. The heat isn't too intense, and the kneading really gets in there.
Jenny C.
I did not have super high hopes. I don't like massages but since I am suffering from headaches caused by my shoulders/neck being too tight. These happen daily and really have turned into a disability as it is so hard to focus(Occipital Neuralgia). So I thought I would give it a try and WOW. I put it on the back of my chair and it does an amazing job of breaking up the tense muscles. I feel the little clumps popping as it rotates and then at the right time it reverses direction. The heat is just enough. I am doing more stretching of my neck/shoulders and use this several times a day for a few cycles and things are getting much better.
Ling N.
I have been using it for a few months now and almost daily. It's still working fine. I found that the more you put your weight on it, the deeper pressure it does for you. Definitely relaxes the tight mussels on my neck and shoulder and even helps my tension headaches.
Paul K.
Love this massager for my lower back. I use it often while sitting and watching TV. I have to use some padding between my back and the massager, but I’ve got it worked out. Rarely use the heat feature. One thing I don’t like is that you have to unplug it to stop it, the button only changes the massager from heat to no heat, does not turn it off. But that is not a big deal, I usually let it run till it stops on its own. I really like that it switches direction every few minutes, that is helpful for relieving sore muscles. I’ve also used it on my thighs, shoulder area with padding. I have used it a lot and so far it’s holding up well. Seems durable & will last a while.
Chris S.
This has helped so much with my pinched nerve and bulging discs! It is flatter than another brand I have so it's not poking into my back. Could be good for someone more sensitive to touch but needs a deep massage. I love that the heat is optional as well. It takes some time for it to warm up though. Very durable, sleek and has been working great with consistent use, hours a day, for the past couple weeks since it arrived. It's also much quieter than other brands I've used. But noise doesn't really bother me.
Brandon V.
I work long hours and i have an active job. I have to be moving all day long. I use it on my office chair, at my home and in my car. Very useful little monster. It is very effective, easy to use and easy to carry. The box with a handle makes it easier to carry everywhere. Gives nice heat and perfect shiatsu massage. The belt on the beck helps it to be fixed on any chair or seat. Power cord and car cord is a big plus.
Peter U.
This came as a replacement for a several-years-old similar model that had finally stripped some of its gears. This version is a step up in terms of apparent quality. It is compact, feels sturdy, and operates efficiently and has the added bonus of a car adapter. The dying one had a cloth cover, while this one is of a leatherette vinyl that seems much more durable. I recommend without reservation
Erin P.
I’ve never written a review before but I’m so happy with this purchase, I had to jump in and do it.
I am an anxious human and am always carrying a ton of tension and stress. I get massages whenever I can afford it but feel like they’re always working with a rough template. I bought this on impulse after seeing it on buzzfeed and am glad I did. I expected to return it but it is now my new favorite product. I feel so relaxed after one use!
Chip M.
I love this massager. I have chronic issues with soft tissue (fascia), meaning my lower back often suffers. This massager is amazing for your lower back, hamstrings, feet, glutes etc. I probably use it every other day. Even just resting it in the small of my back has proven helpful. I have now purchased four of these (in the span on 3ish years). Probably because I am using the machine constantly, the first two lasted roughly a year, but again, I reiterate that I was rough of these machines, often putting all of my weight on them to get to deep tissue. The last one I sadly left on a plane. (Oh yes, I travel with it) I have recommended this machine to an 60 year old who loved it and two ultramarathoners who loved it. I also run and honestly have found it more useful than some of my sessions of PT. May be too strong of a massage for some.
Helsey N.
This is an amazing little massager. I am so glad I got it. My husband is hooked on it as well. Easy to put behind you and move around to get to the spots that are aching. Strong good quality.
Denise C.
I woke up one day with a pulled muscle or pinched nerve or something in my upper back and it was just getting worse as time passed. I was going crazy trying to find something to help. I was taking tons of Advil and alleve, but the pain kept coming back. I even had a massage, but nothing seemed to help. I used this multiple times and it did relieve the pain. I loved the heat and massage combined. Eventually, the problem resolved itself, but in the meantime, this device helped ease the pain.
Clair G.
When I first got the pillow, I used it at least twice a day for a couple weeks. I used it for about 15 minutes so I don't put too much wear and tear on it. The heat is nice, but I don't usually like having it on just because I don't personally like heat, but it is super nice and I like how easy it is to use! Whenever I am stressed or sore from work I go straight so my pillow for a session. It's convenient how it can easily attach to a chair. And I also like how I can pretty much work any part of my body. Definitely worth it!
Taryn R.
I got this after I used the heck out of my old one from a different maker. I had my old one for years and I loved it but I think this one will hold up for a long time too. I have a ton of knots and neck strain so this is great when that starts acting up. I took a star away because I don’t like that it automatically goes in an opposite direction after a certain amount of time and so far I haven’t been able to turn that off. For me, I like to work on a knot until it’s gone and when this starts going the opposite way I have to reposition myself to make that work. I also am not a fan of the cord, it comes out too easily. These aren’t deal breakers but certainly something to consider for the overall design.
Tom R.
I really can’t believe how great this massager is. The deep pressure and heat are amazing at working out knots. My sister used it and bought one for herself. If you don’t like deep pressure you are probably not going to like this, if you like deep pressure this is the product for you! Hurts so good. :)
Brenda M.
I bought this as a gift for my husband and I officially stole it for myself,LoL. Nice,strong massage,and it feels so amazing when the shiatsu balls get hot! I always have pain in my upper back and neck and this has helped me so much. My husband puts it on his back when he has long drives and makes it so much more comfortable. Has two settings just in case you don't want the heat. The shiatsu balls rotate in one direction then go another direction.Awesome product!
Marilynn W.
For me, the massager relieves pain, muscle tightness, mentaland helps me to relax whenever I use it. Don’t forget utter relaxation any time of day! It feels like you’ve been sitting in a massage chair at a nail salon after using this product. Not only did I buy an additional three of these for my family, I’m sending the link to one of my bet friends and my cousin who both have ailments from time to time.
Annie D.
Best $50 I’ve spent! (In attempt to feel better physically). No, honestly - I woke up with a kink in my neck and tried doing some stretches... too painful and had to go to work. I ordered this for same day delivery (yahoo!!!) and it was waiting for me when I got home.
It’s quite awesome, it’s obviously not the same as a real live person massage but it’s awesome for $50.
Eliah T.
I love this massager! It worked better than I had hoped, I highly recommend it. I purchased in hopes of some small help with chronic back and neck pain from multiple whiplash injuries and neuropathy, not to mention so much other pain I haven't been able to afford massage treatment for. This little massager is incredible in working out the pain for me. It has helped every area of my back-END in behind my shoulder blades where it is so difficulT to get to and the massager is right there waiting to do it all again and again and again. I am so glad I took the chance. I got one for a friend with sciatica and a pinched nerve keeping him from using an arm and I one use the sciatica is way better, his arm as well. Excellent customer service also-their follow up is wonderful!
Elise O.
Maybe my best purchase online!! Bought it for my husband for Christmas but everyone in our family fights over it. The massage pressure is perfect and the heat option takes it over the top! We love that you can use it on different areas of your body. It’s is convenient in size making it easy to store and pull out for use. You can use it in your car, in a chair, couch, bed, etc.
Customer service is top notch! I had a question about they responded quickly and solved my problem without question, exceeding expectations.
Highly recommend and this will be my go to gift for those people that are hard to find gifts for!
Justin L.
I have suffered from stiff shoulders and back pain for the past year... I go to acupuncture weekly which was helping in the past ( but not so much now)... the pain and stiffness got so bad that I had to take muscle relaxers... sometimes they worked, and sometimes they did not... i did not like the thought of having to use them.... who really has that much time to be passed out, and then feeling hung over the next day.... I'm not a fan of getting massages (they have helped for a little while in the past)... but they can get to be expensive if going weekly, and again time.... which I, like most people just don't have...so I decided to go into Amazon and see if there was any kind of small portable massager that could help me... I sit at my desk at my computer a lot for work also... I found this pillow massager and after reading the reviews decided to try it... I received it 2 days ago and used it right away... it is AMAZING!! I'm actually using it at my desk as I right this review. The heat is also great feature.... I noticed a difference in my neck and shoulders as soon as I used it... even my husband said my shoulders felt better... he has also used it for his lower back and loves it... I'm very excited to take it when I travel!
Trisha H.
For nearly 6 MONTHS now I've suffered tension headaches. I tried all sorts of medicines and rubs to absolutely no avail. This massager showed up on my fb news feed and I decided to look at it, though I doubted the results would be anything worth getting excited about. Now (here's words my husband will never hear me say) I was wrong.... it is amazing! I used it the day it came and my headache was gone by the end. It doesnt truly heat up until the end. Also at the beginning it isnt super comfortable but try to stick it out until the end...
Mandy C.
his is an amazing shiatsu massager. It is very easy to use and you can easily trail it up from your neck and down thru the spine There are enough massaging balls to be able to reach a nice area along with the added heat which is not too intense- just right. Could easily be used on a leg or arm too. Great quality on the material. I had to contact the customer service via email and they were amazing. Great warranty and all backed up by a responsive quality driven customer service and company. I love I can get a massage in my own home and on my own time. Really has helped my back.
Jose T.
Im so happy with this purchase! I work in an office and i was having back pains now i use it every morning when i wake up, at the office and before I go to sleep. I still haven’t use it in the car but I’ll definitely try it soon! It made my back pains go away and relaxes my muscles. I definitely recommend this product and it is great for the low price.
Ally F.
I'm picky when it comes to massages as I need them to be strong and deep. I'm a student and carry stress that's deep in my traps located between my neck and shoulders. The pain can get 10/10 unbearable and my boyfriend was getting tired of massaging me, so I found this. I am so impressed at how deep and strong this massager goes in the tissue. I have noticed reduced pain in my problem area (the trapezius). This does leave me sore sometimes, but that's a good sign! I feel better waking up the next morning.
Those on the skinnier side should be aware this kneads deep which can touch the ribs or scapula (ouch, happened to me).
If you have similar pain like mine and like it rough, give this a try.
Sarah R.
I waited to review this product, after reading some of the other reviews. I have been having severe back pain and bought this, hoping it would help. I have used this often on my back and love it. Pressure depends on how much you lean back on the product. I've found I can put very fluffy pillows behind me and then place the massager, for a less intense massage. For a deeper tissue massage use a firmer background to lean against. My only complaint about this product and it isn't even the products fault, I wish I had gotten the larger full back massager. This one works great for pinpointing one area, but if you need it to hit multiple areas, you have to move it around. Again that isn't a design flaw. I got what I paid for. The product works well, and does what is promised. I haven't had any issues at all with it.
Jeff M.
There are already tons of five star reviews here, but I'll go ahead and add mine, too. I'm absolutely happy with this massager. I've had it for about four months and I use it hard every day. So far it has held up perfectly. When it breaks I'll buy another one of these. The only negative thing I can think of is that it doesn't work great on my neck. The massagers are a little too short to give a good neck massage. But, for my back, it works miracles. I sincerely appreciate this piece of equipment and the mobility that it has given me.
I use it while lying down flat on the floor. It can take my full weight on top of it. I'm kind of shocked that I haven't broken it yet, with all that weight on it all the time ( I weigh 170 pounds ). It still works perfectly after four months of constant hard use.
Farley B.
Have had this Shiatsu Massager for 1 year now & it's fantastic. If you have a back condition or long after back surgery and your muscles cause pain, the Shiatsu loosens the muscles & you can feel it immediately. After using it, try your range of motion exercises; you can feel your muscles looser than before using it. Of course, I'd never use it immediately AFTER SURGERY when an incision is still not healed. In that case, (and I don't like this warning since it's used so often) but DO CHECK WITH YOUR DOC since healing of an incision may be quicker than healing of the internal muscles or organs.
Overall, this Shiatsu makes you feel so much better, muscles far more relaxed & range of motion improve so much
Pamela Y.
I bought this massager because it was highly recommended by someone who had been using it. I trusted her reviews and bought it too. And one of my favorite purchases from amazon, as of yet!
It’s for a deep tissue massage, which my husband and I have been using for all the knots, aches and pains. We put it on a recliner and there’s a strap on the back of the massager, so it stays put where you want or even move around.
The massager has a heat setting as well, which adds to the relief.
Another reason I would buy this massager is the over the top customer service that Medipillo provides. They stand behind their product. It’s just a great experience dealing with them, if you ever have to.
I recommend this product 100%

I have a desk job and work all day long with my arms at a keyboard. While I thoroughly enjoy full-body massages, my massage therapist moved to another state about a year ago and since then I haven't found the 'right' one for me yet. So, with pain in my shoulders, neck and upper back, I resorted to spending some of my Christmas money and get this massager as a gift for myself. First let me say, I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. It works so well that it has become my nightly ritual to sit with this massager on my back and shoulders for 30 mins as I settle down before bed. I feel like a noodle when I get done, often so relaxed I sometimes catch myself dozing off while this thing is on. I rotate sites from neck, to rhomboids (are between shoulder blades) which is my worst hurting area, and then lower back area. The heat is divine. If you want a softer massage just put on a thick sweatshirt or put some blankets between you and the rotating heads. For a deeper massage you can press your weight into it more or adjust the angle at which you are sitting to apply more pressure. I have made myself sore on occasion when I really let it get dee -- hurt so good! I'm so glad I tried it.

I don't usually write reviews, but I had to for this one...I bought this on a whim the other night because I've been working out like crazy and have knots in places that a foam roller and lacrosse ball just can't reach. I got home from a workout and saw my package had arrived. I ended up laying on my couch for 45 minutes getting a massage before I even thought about showering...This thing is amazing. The heat combined with the roller balls is making my back feel ten times better. I actually may fall asleep while writing this review...5 stars, every athlete should have one of these!

I bought this intending to use it on my sore back; however, it seemed to only make the soreness worse, despite my only gently leaning on the pillow because the massage seemed to strong due to how painful it felt. In addition, upon removal from the box I was hit with the pungent scent of chemicals. I gave it a day to air out, in which it didn't, and tried to ignore it the next day during my first try of the pillow, which only ended up in a headache and even more sore back. However, I will say that I am odd in that I am very sensitive to smells as well as touch, as even the slightest poke will have me flinching as if you had just jabbed me; regular people will probably find this just fine.
I contacted customer service and explained my aversion to the smell, and despite this being marked as an unreturnable item, they sent me a prompt response saying they would refund me, so props to them and five stars.

I fully recommend this product. However, be careful. It is extremely powerful. You can put as much weight as you want on it and it still does its job. It will take care of the tension, but your outer muscles can feel almost bruised the next day.
Regarding the feature of switching direction every minute. Who cares? Wrong. It starts to work out a muscle, you feel most of the pain leaving, and then it kind of levels out. Then the thing switches directions, and begins chasing the rest of the pain out the other way. I would not have looked for this feature, but after using it I would never buy another one without this feature. A must have, I just didn't know it.

Very high quality product that takes a beating. Company really cares and keeps in touch making sure you are satisfied and receive a first quality brand new unit. I mostly use this on my legs cause I get shooting pains/numbness/burning due to a common condition involving the L4 disk of spine and nerves not being perfect or pinched. You can use It though all over...on your neck, shoulders, back, abs, chest, arms, feet... etc.. but for the legs and thighs this product works best in my opinion and that's why I wanted It and It doesn't disappoint. The heat feels great and the deep massage into my calves and outside thigh is heavenly and takes away all the pain when I use at night and I can get to sleep thanks to this without medication. Often I am sore as I work in a warehouse and this tool turns a hurting and broken me back into good shape so I can keep going everyday. It's like having a professional "someone" available to work out all your pain whenever you need It and I actually could use It right now so off I go to enjoy. Do yourself a favor and purchase, you won't regret It if your on the fence deciding.

So everyone that comes to my apartment asks why I have this. Everyone is a skeptic. But then at some point they get curious and try it. And two hours later, I have to make sure they're not trying to sneak it home with them.
I use this almost every day. I have very lax joints, especially my shoulders, so I tend to hold my upper body a little strangely. That, plus sitting at a desk all day, means there's plenty of muscle tension to work out, and this massager does a great job. It really gets in there. I use it mainly on my neck, upper back, shoulders, and mid-lower back and find I really have to adjust the angle and position around to find the right one. But once I do, it's perfect.
The first time you use it, expect to feel a little sore the day after. But with time I'm really convinced that it makes a difference.

Believe the reviews! I was skeptical that a massager under 50 bucks could do anything substantial. I was wrong. This little thing is a powerhouse and that’s one word of caution I’d give. Some may find the pressure a bit too much, but I find it amazing. Technically you can adjust the pressure using your body weight resistance, but I can see it being a bit too much still for someone elderly. Otherwise, this thing worked out kinks and tight spots in my neck, shoulders and back I thought would never go away. I’m a little sore today from it (not unlike when you get a shiatsu type massage at a real masseuse, but the main risk is that it feels so good, I can see how it would be easy to overdo it. The heat feature is beautiful. I need to admit, it’s massaging my shoulders as I type this and it feels amazing! This would be an excellent gift for anyone (except small kids, elderly and anyone a bit more fragile).
Stephany R.
This has great reviews, which I was hoping were all legit, but I was still leary about how well this would work. I am shocked at how it digs down into my muscles on my neck and shoulders. I do believe the cover will wear out and I hope the company helps with that when that time comes, but so far this has exceeded my expectations. And hopefully this will save me money from running to the massage therapist every time my stress keeps my head from turning to the right. :(

I bought multiples of these because I really love the unit. I mainly use this for my lower back but if you angle it correctly you can use them for other parts of your bodies as well. I use it for shoulder massage (try to use one side per time, and lean against a chair to push it into your shoulder, it can really release tight knots) and thigh massage (lay it flat on bed and lay your thigh on it). The heating and non-heating modes give you more flexibility on what you want to do with it.
Been using them for a few years and I still love them, one in my home and one in my office. Just wanna give you guys a heads up, that the cover does get ripped apart after maybe about a year to two years of use, depending on how often you use them. But really kudos to the customer service...I called them about this issue about a unit that's more than 2 years old, and they just send me a replacement cover free of charge.
A good product backed by good customer service, I will definitely purchase from them again.
Samantha A.
My boyfriend is crazy about it, it does have a strong kneading motion and is easy to use (you do have to wiggle around and find the right spots (ie: sit on it if you have sciatica, so forth).
1. It is a little strong so try not to use it for more than 20 minutes at a time (it shuts off after each 20 minute cycle)
2. It does hurt a bit if the massager is used over bony areas
3. Don't expect professional masseuse level, but for what it's worth and price range, it's a perfect daily relaxing / massage tool
Cons: Would be great if there would be an option to stop the massager from rotating in the opposite direction (it rotates in one direction, then after a while, the opposite direction (I suppose to prevent injury from the repetitive motion))
Joslin E.
While visiting family, I was told about how incredible this massager was so I had to try it for myself. My goodness did it do it’s job. I love a deep tissue massage so this is perfect for me to be able to lean back to feel it even more. It is still a great product even if you don’t like a deep tissue. The optional heat technology and motion of the rotating knobs works well together. I also like that it is very mobile, you can take it on the road with you as well and plug it up in the car. Unfortunately, there was a bad connection with my unit’s cord and it would randomly shut off until one day it wouldn’t shut back on. I reached out to Amazon and Amazon was unable to send me a replacement since it had been purchased in October 2019 and it was now March 2020. I was frustrated because I love this massager so I reached out to the company. They were trying to help me troubleshoot the issue and when that wouldn’t work, they sent me a new one. They were very friendly and prompt with their responses and I received my replacement in less than 2 days. Love a company with great customer service. Very satisfied with my massager and the company that makes them!
Robert G.
I like the heat option to to be able to turn on and off.
The company that sells this product stands behind the massager. I had a massager start slipping and their nice customer service reps were quick to get a replacement out to me.
The massager will rotate from clockwise to counterclockwise and can go with a light medium pressure of putting weight on it from your legs, neck, arms, somewhat for your feet and etc. The back does pressure is that you can lay on it but you can put some pressure on your massage to get a medium weight massage for knots, pain relief or relaxation.
It will make noise of trying to turn if you accidentally put too much weight on it
Lucia T.
I really like this back massager. I bought one for my daughter as a Christmas gift and she liked it so much I bought one for myself. The downside to both of them is that the plug falls out where it connects to the massager—you can’t move without it falling out—the slightest movement or shift and it falls out. My daughter mentioned this and told me she put electricians tape on it to hold it together. Sadly, mine has the same issue. I don’t wnat to tape it bc I might want to use the car adapter. I don’t want to have to tape it and untape it every time I change the cable. Suggestions are welcome! I would give this 5 stars except for this issue.

I tried one of these at a friend's house a couple of years ago and immediately ordered one for myself. I have chronic neck pain and it is nice to have this as an option when things get really bad. After well over a year of use, one of the balls inside the mesh became loose, and I figured it was not safe to use anymore. I got in touch with the company to see if they had any idea how I could fix it, and instead they sent me a replacement one, even though it was long past the warranty period. I cannot believe it. This is the best interaction I've had with any company online ever. They were so accommodating, I will definitely be purchasing their products for myself and as gifts for people in the future.

I bought my original massager just shy of 2 years ago. I regularly get knots in my upper back/neck that restrict mobility and are just miserable. Visiting the chiropractor helps somewhat and massages are great but expensive and not covered by my insurance. This little massager helps me find relief at home. The kneading motion is perfect for knots. I snap it to my desk chair and get a massage every time I’m working. It’s fabulous. The last couple months the motor has started to give out so I contacted the company to see if they send replacement parts or had a repair service. It’s past the 1 one year warranty but they offered to replace the unit anyway and sent me a brand new one! I plan on finding a local facility to try and recycle the old one because I hate to throw it away. This little massager has been my grad school savior and I highly recommend it to anyone who gets knots/tension/tightness in the neck and back! It works!!

bought 2, one for my mom and one for my brother in-law. They both have pain, but in different areas. My mom’s pain is mostly in her back due to an accident at work years ago that permanently damaged her, and although nothing is a miracle cure for that pain, this massager has helped to alleviate it by a very good margin. She looooves this thing, and based off the reviews I was reading, I’m super glad because that’s what made me bite the bullet. My brother in-law’s pain is in his neck, but he’s super impressed with how well this massager works and he can sleep better now when having it massage him before bed. I really like how the massager isn’t for one specific area. You can use it for just about anywhere that you’d like massaged, and there’s an easy on/off button to use for the heat if it gets too warm for you as well as it being super simple to turn on/off the machine itself. The rotators switch patterns routinely so it won’t be the same rotation pattern the whole time you’re using it which is highly convenient so your muscles don’t get used to it and in turn give it less effect on you. Highly recommend this product!

Before I even say anything about the massager, I just want to thank the stars for great customer service. I've had problems with my back and shoulders for years, and while massager obviously doesn't make them *poof* away, it does a darn good job on the track towards that goal. It has the perfect amount of pressure and seems to have the perfect reach (at least for my back). I literally use it every day.
When I first opened it, I noticed that there was a weird lag every time the nodes changed directions. It would take 3 solid minutes before it would start up again. It was still technically working and still helping my back, but I contacted Zyllion about it and they sent me a new one right away! The new model doesn't have any timing problems and hooooo boy is my back a happy(er) camper.
For all those fellow sufferers of chronic neck pain, I will just say YAY.
Marlon F.
I waited to leave a review on this item, since I wanted to be sure it was reliable. I've had it over a year now, and I use it every single day, frequently for an hour or more on various parts of my body. I suffer from chronic pain, and this massage pillow helps me tremendously when I need to rest and get some sleep without using painkillers. It feels heavenly and works out my cricks and creaks. I love that it offers a choice between heat or not. It can take a surprising amount of pressure and weight and still operate flawlessly. I'm quite impressed with how well-made and powerful the motor is. Does it work? Better than I'd hoped. Is it reliable? Much more than I expected. I'm buying a second so I don't have to drag it back and forth from bedroom to sofa. I recommend this item so much I might be buying them for gifts next Christmas.
Moly B.
Works really well but it’s WILL LITERALLY RIP YOUR SKIN OFF too. I used it on my neck and had a skin burn and a wound for a month. Used it on my back for a shorter time and had the same rub burn. Stinks cuz I just want a freaking massage!
Wendy A.
This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’m a mom and my back/neck are so tight from lifting my three little kids. This cost about the price of a massage from a person but soooooo much better because you can really get it to concentrate on one tight area and you can get a massage every night. The massage pressure is perfect and the heat setting is amazing to really get muscles to relax. I tried another massager before this one and the heat did not get very noticeably warm. However this one the heat setting was AMAZING. I use it on different areas of my body but mainly my upper back and neck.
I Highly recommend this to anyone with tight muscles. Planning on gifting this for fsmily/friends birthdays and Christmas gift.
Alexis T.
Update! They're customer service is FANTASTIC!! In less than 24hr of posting my original review they were shipping a replacement! No issues with the replacement one!
My husband and I have used this massager every night since we received it about 2 weeks ago. It worked great! The last few evenings - it's not wanted to start up and when it does start working it's been randomly cutting off. Each night it's been harder to turn on and has been cutting quicker and quicker with each use. I'm worried soon it won't turn on at all. I'm probably going to end up either returning for a refund or a replacement...
Leigh D.
After trying a couple of other shiatsu roller type massagers, I find this to be the best. Heat was far more adequate and depth of shiatsu rollers were a omfortable to be able to lean against. I had used this for close to a year nearly constantly for lower and shoulder pain until it started making a growling noise in the rollers when leaned against. I called the manufacturer and they very kindly, with no questions, asked replaced it! So I'm back in business with relief and highly recommend it. p.s. I had previously given it a 5 rating when initially using it and that has never changed.
Cecilia V.
Overall I like this product very much and use it most days at least once. My two dislikes are 1)it does not get warm/hot enough. I am either doing it wrong or the heat level only gets a few degrees warmer than from when it starts. 2)the rotating balls are hard as heck so better prepare yourself for some hard knuckle massage. I would prefer the balls to be closer to stress/squeeze balls.
On the plus side, it's easy to use and easy to place where you like. Very lightweight and mostly stays in place. Seems like quality build/materials so far. I have a knot in my lower back about the waist line and this device finds it every single time. Which is good, but boy you know when those massage balls have found it.
Betty R.
I purchased this product about a year ago after a friend recommended it for back pain. I absolutely love it! I have used it for every part of my body, neck, back (lower, mid), quads, calf, feet, and hands. The pressure is perfect and has helped relieve a lot of tension. Easy to use and control setting with heat or no heat. I bought another for a friend who recently had a baby.
My boyfriend and I were in a car accident (rear-ended) and have been going through doctor visits, physical therapy, and dealing with pain (tension) from neck, shoulders, and lower back for several months now. Recovery hasn't been easy, but grateful it wasn't worse. We recently moved and lost power cord (so frustrating) so I had my boyfriend buy a new massager. I contacted medipillo customer service inquiring a purchase of a replacement cord, and they will be sending me a new set of power cord FREE of charge. Warranty is great, I LOVE THEM! Highly recommend this product not only for the amazing product itself, but excellent customer service (quick and responsive).

Works great but here are some key points.
1. You should have fabric between your skin and the unit or you might get a blister from the rubbing as I did.
2. Don't apply too much pressure or it may break. I placed it under my back and laid on it and it makes a funny noise.
3. It automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Let it cool down for 10 minutes or so before using it again or it will stop working for more than an hour.
It has unravelled the knots in my neck, shoulders and mid back. I use it while watching TV on my recliner, then I stretch. WOW! Save money on massage therapists !

So, my husband has had chronic upper and lower back pain and stiffness for over 4 years. We have struggled trying different medications, massage, and even acupuncture to help provide relief hut have been continuously unsuccessful in our endeavors. I purchased this shiatsu massager...little did I know that I had found the answer to our prayers. My husband has used this for the last few days (I am using it now as I write this review!) and he has stopped complaining about back stiffness and pain. Now he says that his back feels better than it has in 4 years. The massaging balls rotate and change direction after a few minutes, and the heat is just right. This massager is the perfect size to put it exactly where your pain is.
Merritt L.
I have fibromyalgia and muscle splints (hypertonic muscles) in my neck. This little massager works great for working my lower neck and back! I noticed on the box that as a 'pillow' you could lay with your neck on it, although the instructions say nothing about that. I think full body weight might overwork it. I intend to try putting it under my neck but I don't have an outlet near where I can lay flat. (Little bitty old house!)
I really like the heat option and the fact that it changes the massage pattern every so often. It is on its own schedule though as far as how long it runs at a time. In other words, once you turn it on it will run until it's gone through a set pattern for a set length of time, all you can do is turn off the heat - or just move it, of cours.
I highly recommend it and would buy it again!
Jane S.
I bought this about six months ago when I had throw my back out and it just didn't seem to be getting better. Now I use it in the morning before I go to work while drinking my tea. It's cold out and the heat feels great at five am and it's a great way to start the day before heading in to sit at a desk all day. But my favorite use is for when my back is stiff. Sometimes I get to the point where I just really need to crack my back and I can't do it. Run this for twenty minutes and I can finally do it and feel some relief. But honestly, it's very relaxing. Recommend even if you don't have back issues because it feels really nice.
Cameala F.
I have had a real pain in my neck for a few years whenever I happen to sleep in the wrong position. Seems to always be one side. My work offers free massages but the hours suck so I bought this. It has really helped. I usually have a sweatshirt on so the heat function I can't feel. But without a shirt you can feel the heat. The heat is nice but not necessary. It is a deep massage and can be painful if you don't position it correctly. I usually position it on the back of a couch so I can control the pressure for a more pleasurable experience. I sometimes put it vertically along one shoulder to work just one side of my back. I really like that I can use it in the car. So far it has held up to a lot of use. The biggest downfall is it is not cordless but for the price I think it is reasonable. It's not too loud but also not silent. To loud to use while trying to sleep but not so loud you couldn't watch TV while it is on.
Thomas C.
OK: first impression? Aaaaahhhhhhh...! I like that the motion reverses to work the neck muscles better. The motor seems very strong so I don’t have to worry about relaxing into it.
Good value for the money. I’ll be using the device for the mid-thorasic and lumbar area as well and time will be the ultimate test but so far, I give this 2 Thumbs Up!
My only wish is that it worked on batteries as well but know enough about physics to realize that battery technology just isn’t nearly there yet.
Walter D.
Great product, I love that it doesnt run on batteries so the massaging power never dulls as it would with draining batteries. Hubby is a blue collar hard labor worker, this saved him, really relaxes his back and neck after a 16hr day. It helped his tendion headaches too. I sneak it away from him sometimes to massage my upper back bc the twins give me back problems if you ladies catch my drift.. This thing is the best thing since wine and romcoms and it didn't expect you to put out after 5 minutes! Get. This. Massager. Ladies. You won't regret it I promise!
Clark J.
This massager works very well. I have used it on my neck, upper and lower back, and legs. It rotates rather than vibrates and give a real massage. The electric motor is strong so using the device for an hour is an easy task as it does not overheat. I have purchased two more to give as presents. Both are the more expensive variety with four rotating arms rather than two. I find that the less expensive one with just two arms actually works better. The heater elements work very well on both models.
Dwayne O.
I am a professional pain reversal specialist and I have tried to help myself with my own pain over the years after injuries with few results from rollers, Massage Sticks, fascia tools,You name it... BUT this thing is awesome (so far).
I put it under my hamstrings and actually felt the blood moving into my poor blood-starved calves. Sweet sweet relief.
Shoulder pain? No problem,
Just put it behind each scapula and let it work it’s magic... yes- you may feel pain initially as the magic does its thing. The pain is from ischemia- not enough blood circulation - but these little warmed up rotating balls can get to places you can’t on your own.
Things are cracking and moving in a good way.
Going to keep experimenting but so far the 50 bucks is definitely well worth the investment.
Aneve M.
o far I'm loving this. If I had to say anything on a down side it would be it's thickness. I think the mfg should make the same product but one which isn't quite as thick...smaller massage balls especially for use at home in recliners or other chairs. I don't really want to sit as far forward and straight while relaxing as I might in an office chair. Where my back injury is it is kinda hard to reach the area with as thick as this unit it...i still like it and would definitely recommend...but more for maybe an office chair use than relaxing at home due to its thickness. I'd also purchase one half this size with maybe 1 set of the massage balls for harder to reach areas. Worth the money!
Arthur T.
one of the best purchases I have ever made. Massage with optional heat. The four rotating massaging heads are rounded and slightly squared off like fingers or knuckles. It changes direction every so often and feels like a professional masseuse. You can adjust the pressure by how hard you lean against it. No appointments or great expense. If you choose to use the heat function, it shuts off automatically after a while so it doesn’t overheat. It’s quiet and very relaxing and soothing. Very helpful for pain relief and very portable as well. I’m sold. Yes, I would buy it again.
Alexander T.
This is my first massager ever. And I'm very, very happy with it! I had no idea that this little guy can make such a difference. And I'd like to thank every single Amazon reviewer for their contribution and honest opinion. They do help a lot. Anyways, that massager is quite versatile. It fits perfectly onto my gaming chair (there when the strap becomes very handy!) and recliner. Neck, shoulders, lower and upper back, calves too. I also can just drop it on the floor and let it massage my feet. Or one foot at a time. What an amazing feeling, I can tell you right now! So-ooooo relaxing! I spend most of the time on my feet at work and this thing is just a Godsend and a lifesaver after a long shift. I'm getting addicted to it! PS You may wanna get an extension cord as well. Best wishes!
Jon V.
Bought this for my wife last year for Xmas. She loves it. She said it works fantastic at relieving muscle tension in her back. I’ve used it a couple times and I think it works too good for me. It usually works so deep my back muscles are sore for a day. But that’s mainly my fault as I lean too hard on it.
Peter F.
OMG, this is awesome. I love that it is heated and shuts off after I believe 20 minutes. I change where I’m using it and run it for another 20 minutes. I like to sit at my desk and put it on my back. It works for any part of the body you want to use it on, but if you lay on it, it may be too much pressure. This will be my “go to” gift for people that I have no idea what to get. And the price is so reasonable. I see why the one guys review said that he has bought this for lots of people.
Lucas K.
I'm not used to write a review on the website. To be frank with you, I'm new at this. ;-) but I think I should leave a feedback to share with everyone who think of buying this product.
It's been over 2 years to use this one, but I realized that cover net has started ripped and finally exposed inside parts. I was a very satisfied customer since I used it, so I was very disappointed at that point.
I sent a email for the asking to them without an expectation, because I'm no longer under the warranty.
But their customer service surpassed my expectation. And they shipped a new replacement to me gladly and immediately with no additional cost. Although my warranty has expired!!!
Don't Hesitate! Buy it now If you are considering buying this. I guarantee you'd be very happy with their all services.
Renate Z.
My husband has chronic lower back pain that has yet to be alleviated by anyone in the medical community. I gave him this massager for Christmas this year, and it has been a life-saver for him. He uses it almost daily and credits this massager with keeping him pain-free. (I've used the massager a bit, and while I like it, I sometimes find the pressure of the massage to be too much for me.) At this point, we're at 6 months of close to daily use and have had no issues with our unit at all. Recommend.
Steve B.
Even when I was young, my back and shoulders seem to get stiff on a regular basis. The knots in my shoulder get so hard that I have used a hammer to tap on them in the past. This is a wonderful pillow massager. It is small and easily tucked away, yet gives a great massage. Because of the design, I really think it best if used laying down or maybe have someone press it down on you. It is easy to move and also just shifting my position a little I can usually get the nubs to massage the correct spot.
This is actually my second unit (well technically third). I like this thing so much that I took my first one with me when I went to Thailand and left it with my relatives so I will have it for my future trips. The long plane ride really leaves me stiff so having this unit will be incredibly helpful. I bought a second unit when I returned home in the early part of 2018. I say its my third unit because, a few months ago, the unit would stop massaging only seconds after turning on the power. I eventually contacted the company and since the unit was still under the one year warranty, they immediately sent me a replacement unit.
