We've heard a lot of feedback from our customers. We'll let you in on what we've learned:
We call this our most-loved leg and foot massager. People love the feel of this foot massager. The average customer will enjoy the softer massage nodes, the bigger massage pads, and the stronger vibration that this item offers, compared to the Shiatsu Squeeze models.
This item can also lay flat on its back, whereas the Shiatsu Squeeze models will need a pillow underneath to protect the power cord on the back.
If this one is so great, why do you offer the Shiatsu Squeeze models too?
Shiatsu is a form of massage therapy from Japan that uses the thumbs to apply strong pressure to the body's pressure-points. This massage style can have amazing results, but may be shockingly intense for some customers. We offer the Shiatsu Squeeze models for customers who are accustomed to more Asian-style massage techniques.
In short, customers who want an all-over soothing massage with stronger vibration may prefer the 3-in-One Leg and Foot Massager, while customers who want a more traditional Shiatsu-style massage that focuses on the pressure-points may be better suited for the Shiatsu Squeeze massagers.
See the chart above for more side-by-side comparisons of our foot and leg massagers.

We've heard a lot of feedback from our customers. We'll let you in on what we've learned:
This is probably our most popular item, a new spin on the version that we've carried for many years- now with a heat function.
It's perfect for someone looking for a Shiatsu-style massage. What that means is that it has somewhat intense massage nodes that apply a deep tissue, thumb point pressure as they knead. The heat is mild in accordance with UL Safety Standards but it really enhances the massage. We recommend turning it on a few moments before you start your massage so that it can warm up.
If you're searching for something that gives more of an all-over massage with less intense Shiatsu-massage nodes, you'll want to try our
3-in-1 Foot Massager <--click to view! While the 3-in-1 does not have a heat function, we notice that many people seem to prefer its massage style, especially women and the elderly.
For those doing comparison shopping: The 3-in-1 (linked above) is very similar to Brookstone's iSqueeze, but will differ from their new uSqueeze. The Shiatsu Squeeze with Heat (the page you're on) has similar functions to the 3-in-1 and iSqueeze, but the massage style is closer to a traditional Asian massage with its Shiatsu nodes.

We've carried this back massager for years and so we've heard a lot of feedback from our customers. We'll let you in on what they tell us:
Great for solid chairs such as an office chair but very intense on well-padded chairs and very soft sofas. This item can sink into soft cushions which allows the Shiatsu Massage nodes to give a deeper massage that can be uncomfortable for some.
**Helpful Tip: Simply use the item on a more solid chair or use the included faux-leather cover, it softens the massage intensity and puts a soft barrier between the massage nodes and your back for a more relaxing massage.
Great for men, and some women. This is a deep-tissue style massager so our male customers seem to enjoy the Shiatsu-pressure, while some female customers, especially petite ones, find it too strong.
Unique dual power options are great and everyone seems to have success with in-home use, but please check your vehicle to make sure it will accommodate the extra inches that this massager will add. If you're already pressed for room we don't know if this is the best option for you.
We've also heard that passengers love to have this item on long road trips, but drivers need to use their best judgement before combining massage and vehicle operation.
We hope this helps and please feel free to contact our customer service team if you have any questions! M-F 9:30am-5:30pm PST, Toll-Free 1-800-438-8143.

This massager is awesome! I love how portable it is - if you have an office job that keeps you glued to computer, it can really take a toll on your back and shoulders. I can use this in the car on the way to work, and again while I'm there. It comes with a car adapter that allows you to do just that!
Next time I have a long ride in the car ahead of me, I will definitely be bringing this with me. It feels just as good as human hands working on my back, and has many settings so you can adjust to what you need massaged. There is a button for heat, seat vibration with low, medium and high settings and kneading shiatsu settings of lower, upper, and full back massage- trust me, theyre all great!

This may not be the fanciest looking massager, but it really functions well. Ease of use is amazing- it's very basic: plug it in, turn it on, and let it go to town on your feet. Try positioning your feet in different ways to create a different effect from the massage.
It vibrates only, does not knead, but that does not affect the after result. At first it felt somewhat tickly and I was skeptical about how it could actually massage on vibration alone, but when I was done using the massager I could feel a relaxing tingle all the way up my legs, not just my feet. This massager will move around on a hard floor because of the vibrations so put a towel, rug, carpet, whatever underneath to eliminate that altogether. I feel like it's more of a medical massager than other options out there and the relief I've gotten has been worth every penny- would recommend highly, especially for people with foot pain.

Deep Tissue Foot Massager»





I wish there was a number higher than 5 to give this product!
I'm a nurse and I spend long hours on my feet, standing and walking. I know how important good circulation is in the feet and legs and give my share of massages to my patients throughout the day, but I rarely even get to put my feet up, much less get a massage of my own.
I recently purchased the 3-in-1 Leg Calf and Foot Massager and it is the nicest thing I have done for myself. I've been using it nightly since I got it. Rolling, kneading action on my calves get my blood circulating as it should and I know how good it is for me. This is a strong massager, it squeezes and kneads with a deep pressure, working out the aches and pains. Not for people who are overly sensitive -but I need something that really does the job!
I cant recommend this product highly enough if you know someone who spends time on their feet - or just loves a good calf and foot massage. Free shipping made it even better!

I have tried a lot of massagers and this one is by far the
best Shiatsu massager I have used. It is well made and
comes with a supportive pillow. I have used it maily for my
neck and shoulders. But it can be used for back, leg, and
calf, too. It just feels like a therapist working on my
neck and shoulders and I can do it at the comfort of my
home. I had cheaper shiatsu massagers before but the
position of their massage node are fixed. One very nice
feature about the ShoulderFlex is that it allows me to
adjust the width and depth of its fingers. In fact, I can
increase the width to cover the entire portion of my
shoulders. Great product for the money!

Our daughter in law said that she had heard about the Swing
Master Chi Machine and suggested that my wife and I get it.
My wife has spinal arthritis and Ive had most of the bones
in my body broken. We have had the Chi Machine for only two
weeks and I cant tell you how happy we are with it. We are
sleeping better, and one of the major things that I noticed,
was that when walking down our stairs, I no longer have to
hang on to the handrails. I had my right knee operated on 6
months ago and my balance has been off. It seems that after
only 2 sessions on the Chi Machine my balance started coming
under control and getting back to normal. My wife is
noticing a reduction in pain in her lower back and left hip.
Hopefully this will alleviate the need for any intrusive
surgery for her. I also just ordered the Swing Master Chi
Machine for my daughter in law as a thank you for
recommending it to us.
Thank You,

Im in love! I want to marry my Shiatsu Squeeze with Heat and I dont even care if you tell my husband!
But until my state makes that legal, Ill just have to get such foot-pleasing relief that it ought to be against the law! <-- I know I sound like a commercial, but I love this massager. Can you tell? ;)
Rollers rub back and forth on the bottom of my feet. Cusioned squeezes squeeze down the length of the sides of my feet, feeling like 2 sets of hands spoiling me rotten.
But thats not al! More hands squeeze and caress my calves. OMG! SOOO GOOOD! And to top it all off, heat flows through them in radiant waves. Its like an entire team of very talented masseuse? are all working on me in perfect harmony and without saying a word. Can it get any better?
I wasn't too loud either.
I think you ought to buy it now. Its so good its sure to
be outlawed in several foreign states and a few of our own!

All I can say is WOW!
So many hand-held massagers make you work almost as hard, manipulating a vibrating wand, than having no tool for the job at all. Not the case with the Thumper. Like they say, just put it into place where you need to relax the muscles and let it do all the work.
Maybe that wouldnt be such a great recommendation if it were just me saying that. My back pain comes from working at a desk, standing over a sink and stove, and lugging groceries, garden equipment and grandchildren.
I also like being able to choose from 3 different power settings and the size lets me reach the center of my back without hurting my shoulder and lets my son work on his sore thigh muscles without needing a third arm.
Definitely recommended!
The only gripe I have with it was the cost.
It's worth it, but I wanted bigger discount.
I found this cheaper here than other places because of the free shipping.

I'm not sure what the review before me means, this massager is too strong for me!
It has roller bumps that stick out and rub into your back and it hurt mine.
I called in to talk about it with their customer service and they told me that this is what "shiatsu massage" means, that there are bumps or rollers or something that pushed into your muscles. I guess I wanted just a kind of massager that vibrates so I'm going to return this one.
I gave 5 stars not for the product because I didn't like it and will return it, but for the customer service I got. They took the time to explain about the different styles of massages and I guess I didn't understand when I bought this one. If you have any questions call them BEFORE you buy, it's really helpful.

I had suffered an injury that had me going in for therapy twice weekly. Each visit I would have electrodes placed on me and the muscles stimulated electronically, and that night I would be able to get to sleep, having some relief from the pain.
I finally heard the unit referred to as a TENS unit, so when my doctor visits ran out, I did the research and found this online. Don't get me wrong, it helped! And since all you need is a 9V battery, I could do it anywhere.
The pads were not quite right size though, and I am more comfortable with a digital device so I can find the settings that work for me and use them over and over. And I found I was using it almost daily!
I gave this unit to my brother and he likes it a lot and purchased this one for myself:
http://www.massager-machines-and-more.com/deluxe-electric-pulse-massager-set.asp
because it came with 2 sets of pads and these very cool shoes that are activated the same way! It also runs off AAA and USB, so since I use it in front of my computer a lot, it seemed pretty much perfect.
This one is good! Its just, the other one is better. For me.

I like this massager but the speed and heat's a little weaker than I expected.
Pro:
The shiatsu movements are fairly complex and effective.
The vibration is subtle but sufficient.
The spacing between nodes fits my spine
Con:
While it generated heat through the movements, I didn't feel
much heat coming from the device itself. Since it's summer in a bit, that's not horrible though.
It would be nice if it had a handle. Its small enough to move around, but for the same reason it ought to have a
handle to make it easy to position in different places on the back, or to grab it to move to my legs. It's small enough to move easily without a handle, but I would have added one.
Even at fast speed it's pretty slow. I would prefer to have one speed that moved a little quicker when I need the stimulation, but I like really really strong massages.
