This review is from: Homedics SBM-500H Therapist Select Shiatsu One Massaging Cushion with Heat (Health and Beauty)

This is my first attempt at doing an Amazon video review for a product I have purchased. Today I will be reviewing a total of 3 Homedics massage products. This one in particular is the Homedics SBM-500H Therapist Select Shiatsu One Massaging Cushion w/ Heat.

I particularyly enjoy this product because it covers both back and shoulder areas and the rollers for me go all the way down my lower back and the shoulder rollers hit my traps just right (after lowering it to the max)

Pros: Everything about this product I love!

Cons: Shoulder rollers have to be adjusted all the way down for me to use it (I'm 5'6" in height).

Product Features Two separate massage mechanisms for the shoulder and back The shoulder massage mechanism includes a height adjustment to customize your massage The back massage mechanism has spot shiatsu and width control to provide targeted relief for the back Both massage mechanisms provide quick heat on demand 6 programs to choose from

What is Shiatsu Massage?

The Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat provides a strong, kneading, circular shiatsu-style massage for the back and shoulders. Shiatsu (from Japanese shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure) is a traditional massage therapy that originated in Japan. Shiatsu practitioners apply pressure to particular sections of the body for the purpose of correcting imbalances and for maintaining and promoting health.

Shiatsu is traditionally believed to prevent illnesses promote recovery by stimulating the immune system and the body's other natural healing powers. Shiatsu treats the body as a whole, with the goal of restoring the natural harmony of your body systems and your emotions.

Four Great Features for a Perfect Massage

Exclusive shiatsu shoulder massage: This cushion features a mechanism that allows you to use the cushion to massage just your shoulders. After a day of staring at the computer or a night of tossing and turning, just adjust the shoulder height position with the touch of a button and experience the relaxation that only a deep shoulder massage can bring.

Moving dual massage mechanism for the back: What could be better than a massage? Two massages, that's what! Get it all with the Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat. Two mechanisms travel up and down your back to provide two massaging styles--shiatsu and rolling massage.
