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 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:

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've been looking for a really strong neck and back massager.
I bought it because of the bad review here about being too strong.
Uh, sorry, but that's what percussion means.
Their right, it is too strong which makes it perfect for me.
I'm a big guy with muscles and don't see a point buying a massager thats weak. It does feel like someones pounding you then tapping you and thats what I wanted.

I'm really torn if I love this or hate this. I guess I kind of hate it and kind of love it.
It thumps? Taps? (I have no idea what to call it) my shoulders and neck incredibly strongly.
The first time I tried it I almost jumped out of my skin.
I guess I was thinking it would lightly vibrate or something but it suddently started pounding on me like hands or fingers or something.
I thing the tapping? thumping is air, and it was WAY TOO strong for my shoulders. (I'm small)
Even on low it's pretty strong.
Did I mention that this is a really strong massage?
BUT, when my lover back was killing me, I lay down and put this punding tapping tourture machine on my back and it worked.
So I love it, and hate it and think it is either too strong or good.
I haven't returned it so I'll probably keep it and use it on the strong parts of my body.
