Product Description
The Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat provides a strong, kneading, circular shiatsu-style massage for the back and shoulders. Shiatsu (from Japanese shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure) is a traditional massage therapy that originated in Japan. Shiatsu practitioners apply pressure to particular sections of the body for the purpose of correcting imbalances and for maintaining and promoting health.

Shiatsu is traditionally believed to prevent illnesses promote recovery by stimulating the immune system and the body's other natural healing powers. Shiatsu treats the body as a whole, with the goal of restoring the natural harmony of your body systems and your emotions.

Exclusive shiatsu shoulder massage: This cushion features a mechanism that allows you to use the cushion to massage just your shoulders. After a day of staring at the computer or a night of tossing and turning, just adjust the shoulder height position with the touch of a button and experience the relaxation that only a deep shoulder massage can bring.

Moving dual massage mechanism for the back: What could be better than a massage? Two massages, that's what! Get it all with the Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat. Two mechanisms travel up and down your back to provide two massaging styles--shiatsu and rolling massage.

Quick heat: We all know that heat can really help our muscles relax, and that relaxed muscles make for the most productive massages. With the Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat, you can warm up your back and shoulder muscles in under one minute to get the best massage possible.

Easily fits most chairs: The Therapist Select's integrated strapping system transforms any ordinary chair into an incredible massage chair. The cushion has real massage chair technology so you can explore the benefits of shiatsu massage at home or in the office.

Reviews Homedics SBM-500H Therapist Select Shiatsu


Every few months I wake up with a really stiff, burning muscle in my lower neck or shoulders. I have found that, if I can enlist someone to do so, a strong kneading of the affected area brings immediate and often lasting relief. But -- here's the rub -- my significant other travels a lot so I am sometimes left to my own devices. On more than one occasion I have driven to the mall to sit in one of the $2,000 Sharper Image massage chairs for relief (seems I can never book a short-notice "real" massage). So, this weekend, when I woke up with a stiff, burning muscle in my right shoulder blade, I started researching more affordable massage cushions (I already have an easy chair) which led me to buy the SBM-500H. After my first hour of use I'm ready to say it was worth the money. Most cushions do not go high enough to massage your shoulders but this model has a seperate upper pad for that area. Those rollers can be raised or lowered via the remote control (but not widened or narrowed, which would be nice too). Because the back of the pad is rather tall (even for my 6'1" frame) my head hits it which makes it harder to press my sholders into the upper massage rollers. But I managed to do so. The lower rollers do a good job on the main back area.
