Default Pinook nano massager

I bought one of these two months ago. Not sure if you have heard of it. Kind of like having a physio therapist in your backpocket. It's about the size of a nano ipod and comes with several sticky pads. The control unit has six different massage settings. It can be carried in your pocket so you can massage yourself on the go, at the office, school, walking etc.

I bought it because of a nagging 20 year old shoulder injury. After six weeks of self administored physio therapy I finally have the full use of my shoulder. I also find it to be an amazing aid in stretching. My inner thigh muscles on my right (braking leg) are alot tighter than my left leg. It's hard to stretch it out since it feels like I'm about to pull a muscle. I put on four pads from the knee to the groan and start my stretching, it's amazing. I get such a great stretch without the worry of injury.

It also comes with flip flops that are designed to massage your feet. The best part is you are in total control of the intensity and the type of massage. Up here in the hgreat white north it ran me close to $300 with taxes. Possible the best purchase I have made in a very long time.

Just read your review and description of this product. Followed that with a Google search. Appears to have mixed reviews regarding the quality/durability of the product. How long have you had this? Is it continuing to work well?

It's supposed to be hard. If it were easy everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.

Sound like a TENS unit. I wonder how it differs from the $30-40 dollar portable TENS units (other than being 1/2 as thick).

I have had no problems, but it is electronic so there is always the chance. It will be coming with me to Montreal that I can say for sure.
