Alphay Multifunctional Lumbar Traction Device with Dynamic Lumbar Stretching & Knead Massage, Heat & Vibration Physical Therapy, Lower Back Massager Lumbar Traction at Home, Office, Waist Pain Relief

excellent device. tried out & found excellent, working good condition.

I had L5-S1 surgery several months ago,but am still experiencing pain in that area. I was hoping that this would give me some relief when I wasn’t able to use my massage chair. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have the same type of movement that my massage chair has for me. Perhaps this just isn’t right for my condition and it might provide different results for you.

If you’re heavy it does not fit right

In theory, this could be a great device for those with back/hip injuries. But in practice...it really doesn't live up to those expectations. While it does heat and massage, it's either lacking power or the design of it doesn't allow it to focus the massage where it needs to be - on the back. The device itself is getting more of a massage than I am. The device is so-so, the packaging is quite generic (this is a Made in China import that numerous people are selling), and as far as this company...I've never heard of "ALPHAY" until now. This isn't a device I'd recommend, especially at the 150 price - it seems more like an overpromised gimmick than something that can provide pain relief.

Overall, the massage machine works ok. Fast heating, the curvature shape naturally stretches lower back. My wife also like the kneading function, but for me, it's too weak & small size for my back. Here is the not so good part. If we use the machine on the bed or any soft surface, the vibration goes to the surface, not to my back. I don't feel any vibration on my back. The vibration function works ONLY on the hard surface, like floor. For this reason, I will probably not use nor pay $150 for back massage machine which only can be worked on the hard floor.
