Careboda contacted me to test out the shoulder massager. And as you know, I love to review products, so I jumped at the chance! Once it arrived, I went to compare it to another shoulder massager I already own. As it turns out, I already had a Careboda shoulder massager that I bought on Black Friday for myself and a few family members. I thought it was a different brand, so I guess I have another one to give away now.
That also means I have had this massager for a few months to try this unit out and to give you an honest review of what a professional massage therapist thinks about the NAIPO shoulder massager.
Specs and Features
3 Speeds
The Careboda shoulder and neck massager offers 3 different speed levels (low, medium, and high) to ensure the perfect massage experience.
8 Massage Nodes
With 8 deep-kneading Shiatsu massage nodes that target tense muscles, fatigue is eliminated and muscle tightness is relieved quickly and efficiently.
Heat
Plus, gentle heat is released through the muscles and ligaments in order to combat fatigue and stimulate relaxation. For added safety, this device automatically shuts off after 20 minutes of use.
The Pros
Easy to Use
The first thing that I noticed about this massager was how easy it was to use. It has to be the easiest massage tool out there. The control panel on the side is simple and straightforward and you can easily adjust the intensity of the massage; from light to deep kneading,
Versatile
You may be thinking that the one downside of this machine is that it only targets one area—the shoulders or neck. Not so! you can use this on the back, neck, shoulders, calves, thighs, or arms. It just takes some creative placement. If you’re looking for something that will provide more comprehensive relief then this is still an option you.
Effective
This unit is effective for managing muscular pain and tension as well as stress for many people. Most of us cannot get a professional massage every day. This is one device that helps make self care at home easy and effective.
The Cons or Limitations
Too Strong
Some users have reported that the massaging nodes can be too strong for sensitive areas so if you have particularly tender spots then I recommend using caution when using this device. Now, if you like deep work in your shoulders, neck, low back, and legs – then you should not be disappointed with this “con”.
Bulky
This unit is not small, and can seem kind of bulky on the shoulders for smaller individuals. But, again, this massager is not just for the shoulders. It does an excellent job on the legs, neck, and low back.
Cord
It has a cord that is not that long. I don’t know why this was a surprise for me, but it was. So if you see the pictures and imagine yourself walking around your house, you may find that it’s not so easy – it is actually impossible. Instead of imagining yourself walking around, instead image relaxing on the couch, in your favorite lounger, in bed, office chair, or on your patio – as long as it is by an outlet.
Maybe there will cordless version some day. If you are looking for cordless relief -This is why I like TENS units for on-the-go muscle manipulation.
Where to Buy Your Shoulder Massagrr
This is not my first Careboda product review. I have also reviewed a similar massager that comes with a hook to use on an office chair. This back pillow massager (affiliate link) is one of my go-to massagers when my midback needs attention.
If you’re interested in giving the Careboda shoulder massager a try then head over to their website (careboda.com) where they offer free shipping on some orders and discounts and other specials throughout the year.
You can also find their products on Amazon where they offer this product too. I got my shoulder massager on Amazon (affiliate link) for under $20 on Black Friday.
Conclusion
All in all, I found the Careboda shoulder massager to be an effective way to provide yourself with some much-needed relief after a long day or stressful situaItion.
As I mentioned, I did buy one for myself and for some friends and family for Christmas gifts this last year. If you know someone who loves a shoulder massage at the end of the day, this is an excellent option. I know these products also make great gifts for Valentine’s day, birthdays, care baskets, or other special occasions.
While it may not be suitable for everyone due its limited area coverage and intense massage settings, overall I would highly recommend giving it a try if you’re in need of some relaxation without having to visit your local spa or massage therapist!
Remember, self-care is important and everyone deserves twenty minutes to relax, rest, and refresh!
