Does this item heat the shoulder area of your back?

I would not purchase this item. It was for my wife and she loved it while it worked. Notice the many complaints of failure within a month or so. That was our experience as well. Good idea, but this is not the answer. (I thought people were not following manufacturer's use guildelines. That made no difference)

Up to an area just above the shoulder blades. It does nothing for the area of T1 thru approx T10 and above

I am 5' 6'' tall and it heats my shoulders. I like it and feel it is a great value.

No, it does not heat the shoulder area of your back, your seat and the lower part of your backCan feel the warmth,, I apologize for being late with my answer, very busy at home,Best wishes, Al

It has sufficient weight, and the Velcro tabs let you put it in exactly the right place. It's very nicely designed.I am speaking as a male, and the area for heating that I was going for was the upper shoulders and neck. Never really thought about how well he heats the chest. If that's what you are looking for, perhaps there is something better?

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

It does not:( But if you hold your hair at the very tip towards the end of the wand, that area does not get hot.

Yes it does, I sweat allot more while outside at work, walking, or working out after I put on the morning cream, but I use the cellulite mitt which causes some friction and it's allot more hot feeling if you wear an under shirt or tang top to hold the heat in. I wouldn't say it's too much, you actually get use to it

Two part answer: 1. It'll work for pressing against the back of the shoulder (sandwiching it between your shoulder and a chair, for instance); against the front of the shoulder would be harder, since you'd have to hold it in place and press pretty hard with the other hand, or something; against the top of the shoulder, I couldn't find a way to apply pressure. 2. I didn't find the pillow very useful for shoulder pain, due to the spacing of the rotating-disks-with-bumps inside. They're spaced well for massaging around the spine, lower neck, and shoulders; a little less well for the upper neck; not so well for one shoulder at a time. In vibrate-only mode, I still found that I couldn't get sufficient pressure (with the "cushion" on the top surface of my shoulder) to transmit either the heat or the vibration to the sore area. If my main problem was pain around a shoulder joint, this cushion would not do a good job for me.

Yes it does, a little. If you have a sensitive back, you may want to purchase a different massage cushion.

No! No! Although, this high-quality pad can be turned length-ways or side-ways to give you several alternatives for heat therapy on your back, neck area, and lower torso. No!

Yes, it does get warm on the back, but you can hold your hand on it and not get burned, it's not THAT warm.

I would say yes it does at least in the sense that it does not make you hot at all. I found that my older memory foam pillows made my head sweat only. I changed to the microbead pillows and that is no longer a problem now.

This provides overall heating similar to an electric blanket but under the body rather than on top. This pad will help with back pain as well as overall soreness but does not substitute for a heating pad. It delivers a gentle overall warmth rather than the targeted heat of a heating pad. My wife & I both suffer back pain and this pad helps.

No. Mine was used on the shoulder and just barely worked for it. I would get the next size up.

I do - no problem - no other way to heat such a big one. Also, not too big to use - covers a knees perfectly - also perfect for the lower back - also shoulder -

It targets the lower back more effectively. It has heat elements in the lumbar region and vibrates the upper thighs, buttocks, and lower spine. I have seen shoulder wraps that might work better for your particular issue.

Yes, you can. My husband does. I cannot due to back issues. I put a towel over my head and around my neck (wear it like a kerchief) to trap the heat.

Mine does not have a heat feature, only massage. I am over 230lbs and it handles my weight just fine. It has been a good purchase. The only thing I don't like is the controls are hard to see when you are reclined.

Yes. The neck massager has an "up" and "down" feature that put it from the top of the shoulder blade to the head. Has heat too.
