When I'm at my worst 08/11/05
Reviewed by:
Monterey Coast, California, USA
My husband massages the trigger points and where I direct him to my pain. After 30 minutes, I can feel the relief in my brain because the pain can be almost disturbing.
After 30 more minutes I can move about and do light house keeping or sleep some if I haven't been able to sleep.

Love it - massage helps me. 08/09/04
Reviewed by:
Reno, Nevada, USA
I love it. I get a massage every night from my husband. It helps with my pain and helps me sleep. I rated the cost and the convenience a 7 because it's inconvenient for him, and while I appreciate the time he takes to give me a massage nightly,
I feel like I owe him at some level.
