Back Massager

I borrowed a massage pad that goes on a chair from a friend, and found it so helpful that I went to Brookstone in the mall and looked at similar devices, then I went to Amazon to find the equivalent at a bettter price.  The Zyllion ZMA-14 seemed to be equivalent. (These are all cranked out by the same factories under slightly different names.)  And yes, it works beautifully!  There are more modes than the one I borrowed from Terry; both a shiatsu mode, simulating having a Japanese woman going through all your back muscls with incredibly powerful fingers, and a roller mode which I think is more akin  to Swedish massage.  It also has a neck kneader that massages yoor neck muscles, with adjustments for how high up your neck it goes.
