Stick Massager Reviews

There is no question that in the category of "wand massagers", the Hitachi Wand Massager is the most famous, by far the most intense of all the wand style vibrators and the most expensive. Why do I say that in a review of the Dr. Scholl's rechargeable wand massager? The Hitachi is just too much power for some people and some uses. The Dr. Scholl's wand vibrator, however, not only can do a great job without any old cord, but it's 2 settings provide relaxing massage/vibrating without making you numb. The "high" setting on Dr. Scholl's is a notch less intense than the "low" setting on the Hitachi. But that isn't necessarily a negative. Depending on the use it is "just right". With both units you actually have 4 very different settings instead of 2. For some individual's vibrating uses the Hitachi is too much power, but for others it is WOW, AWESOME! For some individual's the Dr. Scholl's just isn't enough power, but for others it is Oooooooooo, just right. The +'s of the Dr. Scholl's unit are: 1- more relaxing and not too intense, 2- able to operate "cordless", 3- less costly than the Hitachi.

With a high-stress job, and a husband that's away on business a lot, I look forward to whatever free time I have to myself. When I need a release, I reach for my Dr Scholl's Rechargeable Wand Massager.

Its soft, cushioned head vibrates across my body without the slightest bit of irritation. The alternate speeds let you choose between a stimulating massage, or a slow, soothing, deep-penetrating massage.

And take it from chatchi, both settings are WONDERFUL!

Most of the personal massagers I've used in the past have been difficult to maneuver in those hard-to-reach places, but the easy-grip handle on the Dr Scholl's Rechargeable Wand Massager insures that you can massage any spot without losing control of the wand.

So, if you're looking for a gift that keeps on giving (and giving), Dr Scholl's Rechargeable Wand Massager comes highly recommended by chatchi.

I have arthritis in most every joint. This massager with the soft head is great! It is especially helpful with the arthritis in the verterbrae. It is of great help to me in relieving stiffness and headaches caused by arthritis in the upper back. It is the next best thing to being able to bribe someone into massaging you! It is reasonably priced and light in weight. :-D

When it comes to stress and pain I have been overcoming quite a bout with these conditions for the last three years in my body. I have bought all kinds of creams and tried different methods of helping myself reduce the pain with different kinds of massagers.
Upon buying Dr. Scholl's Body Massager from the first day that I cut it on my body was never the same. I felt like I had a long arm with a great big wide had with soft fingers just extend the comfort of the massage to the right spot especially in my lower back and neck area..
I have never desired to lay back on a massager and just let it massage my neck, but I have to give it to Dr. Scholl's this product was comfortable enough to even lay my neck upon it and just relax while the massager did the rest.
Please don't laugh at what I'm about to say.For three years I have religiously used my massager daily. I even have gone to sleep with it on because I like the comfort that it has brought to my body. I bought it brand new, and used it so much that the strong sound and vibrations that it had when I first got it no longer sounds the same. It has a buzzing sound like it is about to die. So I am once again going to buy a new one because it has been very beneficial to me and I wouldn't want to use anything but the best. It was worth every penny I paid for it, and I'm sold on keeping one around at all times. Thanks for giving me a chance to tell someone else what an experience I have had. Now you can stand up and give Dr. Scholl's that hand clap and a cheer.

Try it you will like as they say.

This massager is by far the best electric massager you can get. It just doesn't buzz or vibrate like most massagers. It really feels like someone is giving you a massage. It is not as noisy as most others.

This is a great buy - more massage for your money. The long handle allows you to reach your lower back, but it's so light-weight, you don't hurt your shoulders to fix your back. The only negative is that the heat takes forever to warm up - but the massager feels so good, you won't notice.

The HoMedics IR-600 massager is lightweight and easy-to-use. I have used this massager to "work out" tight neck and shoulder muscles. On those occasions when I have had nerve pain running from my neck, through my shoulder, and down into my arm, I have worked the massager over a small area at a time and have found great relief when using the product in conjunction with eucalyptus oil (great for nerve pain).

The massager is long enough for the user to reach down to about the middle of the back. It is useful for those seeking an invigorating massage (try all of the six attachments to determine which ones work best for you), as well as for those wo want relief from pain.

The heating element is sufficient to provide some warmth -- it never really gets hot enough to redden or harm the skin.

The massager uses AC power -- no batteries.

I highly recommend this massager. It is a great value for the money!

This massager works the best when you're watching Big Wars. If you like this massager, you're sure to love Big Wars.

I brought this massager thinking that there was no way it was going to help the pain I was having in my neck and shoulder. I could barely move and after I used this I could actually turn my neck from side to side. I used the heating element and it felt great. I didn't think it was too heavy at all; especially once you are using it. Since I am a mother of 2 I don't really have time to go to a massage therapist when I have a crick in my neck, this device makes for a great alternative.

If you don't pull your hair up it can get caught up in the massager.

I'm happy I tried it.

I just received this a few days ago and already I'm very *very* IMPRESSED!!

I often have lower back pain and have to go to the chiropractor. And when I do, following the adjustment he uses a very heavy feeling massager (I haven't SEEN it) on me to relax everything again, and it feels SO GREAT! Feels just like tiny hammers beating on you at a super high speed. I asked him where I could buy one like that and he turned me on to a company that sells massagers that feel identical to this for [a large sum of money]!!

When I saw this massager listed here on Amazon, I wasn't sure it was like my doctor uses. But after receiving it and using it, I can tell you it feels IDENTICAL to the machine that my chiropractor paid for[a large sum of money]!!Anyone wanting to complain about the weight of this should use their brain to figure out if you need a really good massage, then you need either someone with lots of strength OR a massager with strength! And how does a massager become strong?? One factor is to make it HEAVY! I MEAN "DUH"!!! :)

it's great for me it helps me to relax after "sitting work"
I would not reccomend to someone who has "short" arms -than you should ask somebodies help.

It is nice for once to have something that isn't a huge yard stick to use. It is light enough and the strap works great so your hand isn't fatigued. It's good so that if you're working on someone else, you can get closer & have a free hand to work on the other part of the muscle, etc.

The strength of the machine itself could be better, but does the job fairly well. The fact it uses a dial instead of just 2 speeds is a GREAT idea and very helpful. It can be used as percussion on slower speeds and vibration at the higher speeds.

The heat ability takes about 5-10 min (or seemed like it) to get hot, and even when it did, still only was slightly warmer then room temperature. Though when you took off the plastic tip, the mechanism was burning hot, so be careful.

I was very disappointed after trying out this portable massager. It had very little massage capability. Frankly, if you buy something battery powered to use for a massager, your just wishful thinking. This isn't worthy of your time. I returned it hours after it arrived, just save yourself the trouble and give up the idea of battery-powered portability. Get something that plugs in and has some oommph. ....

I like this product because it doesn't vibrate you off the map, just nice easy massage where you need a little relaxatoin.

The unit broke after two weeks use. The unit stopped vibrating because a part in the unit broke off.

I ended up returned it.

This is a relatively cheap massager. It vibrates, and has a red heat lamp. It's pretty light in weight.

The down side of this massager is that it causes noise to my TV. And it makes my floor lamp running off the same wall plate dim and back on. I had to switch off the floor lamp, and use my other floor lamp that is plugged into a different wall outlet. There is no option of using battery for this unit.
