HoMedics SBM-200H Shiatsu Massaging Cushion

I’m glad I did not rush into buying one of these massage cushions, or else I would have rued over buying an inferior model. This HoMedics SBM-200H Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat provides the perfect replacement for the masseuse of the massage parlors I used to go to. Shiatsu is about deep kneading exercises that could unknot the tight hard muscles that could really make me feel even feverish with pain.

A hand-held control pad will let you control the three programmable types of massage namely: Shiatsu spot massage, regular Shiatsu massage and regular rolling massage.  The first option is my choice for finding the exact spot where I feel the most aches and pains.  Once the Shiatsu balls meet their target, I simply hold the control button as the area of concentration for the finger-like kneading of the Shiatsu balls. On days that these spots ache, the kneading and warmth of the heat emitted makes me want to stay glued to the chair forever.

However, that is only a figure of speech because you have to follow what the manual says. The recommended time is only 20 minutes, going beyond that will result to adverse effects. Believe me, because I ventured trying it up to thirty minutes, thinking that additional 10 minutes wouldn’t make much of a difference. Unfortunately, it did. I ended up the next morning feeling a different kind of burning pain.

If you want to stay a little longer, it would be best to turn off the heat once the 20 minutes are up. Actually there’s an automatic timer that told me the 20 minutes was up because the Shiatsu massage automatically shut off, so there’s no use blaming the company if your suffer for being too thick in the head

By the way, you don’t have to feel any sort of back pain just to have your fill of these massages. I have been long healed of all my aches and pains but I read somewhere that it is also good for promoting blood circulation. This way, no more arthritic pain will find itself lodged in your other joints. Although I’m not too sure of that, because I still go into running exercises to keep my knees and ankles working well.

Pain or no pain, you don’t need any reason to experience the wonderful feeling you get from this HoMedics SBM-200H Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat.
