Ever since I started aging, I’ve been in “back pain purgatory”.

My pain has limited my life – not to mention the agitation, the lack of energy and mental fatigue. Nothing I’ve tried has worked for long. Going for massages is too expensive, and my husband gives low quality massages..

So, when my friend showed me ThermaPillow – a pillow that delivers pain relief by giving heated shiatsu massages – at first I had to laugh. I mean, a pillow that can deliver instant, long-lasting back pain relief without drugs or surgery? Suuure…

But surprisingly.... It worked! Most people think massages are expensive. But, for the price of one massage appointment, I was able to get a pillow that would massage me. EVERYDAY. This thing friggin’ did EXACTLY what it said it would do!!!

ThermaPillow is a massager that has perfected the shiatsu massage. It gives you INSTANT pain relief by delivering warm deep tissue massages. 

The pillow was very easy to use. When I feel any aches on my body, all I do is put the pillow on the part that hurts. Then.. I feel something strange happening: Relief!

Some people describe a relaxing sensation, others say they feel euphoric, but for many (including me), the pain just… stops.

I was ecstatic when I tried ThermaPillow on for the first time. There’s nothing else like it – which is part of why I was so skeptical at first. And, even after I saw that it worked, I still had some questions. So I did some digging.

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

For me, just trying it was enough – and after learning how effective it is, I’m completely sold on ThermaPillow now. However, I was still curious about the actual science. WHY does this thing work?!

95% of doctors recommend massages for drug free pain relief. The research is out there. A massage calms the nervous system, improves blood circulation, lymphatic circulation, relieves muscle pain and helps with pain management in conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and muscle spasms. 

If you get a massage once a year, it will be relaxing, but it can't undo a lifetime of muscle tension. Typically, a massage a day keeps your muscle tissue pliable and in good shape. If you are in chronic pain or have a special issue to address, you will DEFINITELY need a massage everyday.

When you first try it, you’ll feel relief instantly… and if you’re like me, you’ll scream “OMG, it works!” and leave it at that. But I learned a neat trick from other ThermaPillow users: even if you feel good, keep trying new placements!

Just like placing a fishing rod, I can move my pillow around and FEEL the relief improving. I thought mine was in a good place at first, but then I found an even better spot!
