Personal Massager

I was wondering if anyone has used this module, or has seen it used? Does it actually work? I was thinking about getting it for my wife - she comes home stressed from work all day. Can you use the massage on your shoulders?

I have one and love it - works great on the shoulders. YMMV

Agreed! This is a very nice application for the springboard slot!

I love mine too, and as a matter of fact if you did not know it was electronics, you would swear it was someone giving you a real massage. The only problem I have is getting the pads on my back by myself. Me to housekeeper in hotel, "No really, just put these pads with the wires on them in the middle of my back". <G>

Out of closet

Ha Ha. SO you guys finanny decide to come out of the closet to admit that you are using this module? I still think it is one of the dumbest module ever made (after the power nap module)....but obviously they are selling

Yes, but I have strictly adheared to the warning on where NOT to put the pads... I am waiting for the Playboy Channel or someone to "misuse" the device...

Call it dumb if you want but I like it.

I love mine too!
It's great to take to parties and family get togethers, some people are nervous about using it but once they do it's hard to get it back from them.

how DOES that thing work anyway? from your posts I see it as similar to those electronic muscle toners (electric pulses shot directly to your muscles).

Believe the barber! This stupid sounding little module works great! It uses the same basic thechnology of those machines that most Chiropractors employ. If your back is hurting, $100 once is a lot cheaper than the 20 sessions the chiro-quack will charge.

You guys better be right - mine is on it's way!

After reading all these glowing reviews and sitting here with a serious KNOT in my shoulder from hunching over a hot keyboard all day I ordered this yesterday. Palmgear got it right out, but UPS dropped the ball and flew it all over the country last night so it won't come until tomorrow.

Hope you guys are right. I'm on a flight to London on Thursday...so I'll see how it works to soothe those cramped flyer's muscles.

Got it....love it!

Got mine and when I plugged it in it wouldn't power up! After looking at all the possibilities and then trying it in my Mom's Deluxe (which worked) I found my re-furbished Prism had one bent pin in the connector! No trip to London with my Prism but I did use it with my Mom's Deluxe for quite a bit and it's wonderful...I had it pumped up to about 95!

It may seem like a stupid idea for a module...but I love it!

I'm very interested in ordering this module. I'm waiting to hear back from the manufacturer on the availability and cost of replacement pads. From the manufacturers site FAQ it would appear that if you use it frequently you'll need to change the pads about once a month. Any of the current users have some good news for me so I can order it this weekend and not wait for customer service to get back to me Monday?
