I like using a massager for my neck and lower back, but have a hard time keeping it in the position that is comfortable. Since this message comes with straps/armrest, I am actually able to hold the massager exactly where I need it! I usually use the message with heat and in the low speed.
The Shiatsu Neck Massager has 4 control buttons on the side strap. The controls are: power on/off, heat on/off, massage nodes directions and speed setting. This is the first massager that I have owned that I had an option to change the speed. It has slow, medium and fast.
The massager can really give you a good workout and relieve stress and tension built up from a rough day. It works great for your neck, shoulder and lower back. You can even use it on your thighs and if you wanted to. The heat is lightly warm and doesn't get too hot on my neck or back.
One of the best features of the massager is that the battery is rechargeable and doesn't require a plug when in use. It does come with a charging cord and will need connected to the massager and a wall plug to charge the battery.
