How do the red balls move to massage the neck? Do they move around and/or turn?

The balls are actually covered with fabric so hard to answer that question. But I can tell you that they give the sensation of thumb and forefingers pinching the back of your neck. Can be quite strong and actually hurt if you pull it too tight against the back of your neck. It really really does help loosen those tight neck muscles. If I lost mine today, I'd order another asap! Hope this helps

They do move. My mother's moves in a sort of undulating way to mimic how we might move if massaging someone. My mother is very sensitive an she tells me that it hurts to be massaged by it. However, the shiatsu is a deep tissue massage, so it is really going to give you the once over. Just be aware. I hope this helps.

This massager is more for muscles. Even trying to massage the neck is difficult because of pulling the hair and the massage is too dense even on the lowest speed.

It's one moving head with a couple of massager attachments. I use one attachment exclusively. Awesome massager, now have 4, included one in my travel bag. Has saved me countless trips to chiropractor. Can't live without it.

There are a lot of YouTube videos you can watch to see how it's done. You basically squeeze the cup and then set it on your skin. When you let go, it creates suction. You can then slide the cup or cups- you can use several at a time- and use them for massage. There are several techniques and again, I'd recommend watching some videos. You have to use an oil or serum so that the cups will slide. The harder you squeeze the cup when you put it on your skin, the harder the suction.

It's a mechanical mechanism - there is a physical ball that you spin with your finger.

The "pressing " option is the smoothest and the most gentle. The "rollers" are not felt as much as the other options. A fleece throw between your back and that of the chair is the answer when the rollers are too strong. This chair is more than I expected. Especially for the price. You can adjust the "width of the massage also. This allows the Pressure where you want it. So yes it is a wave motion on the pressing option.

I am not certain, but I would assume that means directly on the spine, itself. Meaning, don't apply the massage nodes onto your spinal chord. That could possibly damage or misalign your spine and lead to serious issues.

Yes they do move. Not sure about the flexibility of movement, but the arms definitely move. Hope this helps!

Yes, the electric cord is attached to pillow. The control is also attached by a cord. On the control is a switch for heat, a switch for the direction the massage heads turn, and a circular button for speed of massage heads.

I am pretty sure the filling moves freely. You can mash then into any position you need which is great for my neck. Haven't woke up with a sore neck since I got these.

I bought it for my daughter, but I did try it. She loves it and I do believe you can make it hit all areas of the neck, the balls rotate around nicely

The massage therapist I went to started with the feet ...and brushed them up towards the heart...then moved to legs...then back, then arms...then neck..everything moving towards the heart. She spent about 15 min total...and it was heaven. She said it wakes the body up to accept massage better!

It doesn't really vibrate but the balls move up and down your feet and may feel like vibration. It does feel wonderful on your feet.

It's a rolling massage with three settings. Lower back, Upper back and entire back. The intensity of the massage is stronger if you flip the back cushion back.

Well, I have only used them a few times, because I would be lying if I said I *didn't * find getting the hang of it is a learning curve. Basically you place it on the area in need of massaging, and press down on the top, depressing it until you feel a sense of suction and subsequently a firm grip, so the cup cannot just fall off, then you maintain suction while massaging the skin in the desired area in circular motions, with it. The learning curve is in acquiring sufficient technique to do this without pinching the flesh with the suction in the cup.

I have a 17 1/2" neck and the design of this device doesn't permit a good neck massage. The only way I can make it work is to literally bend the base into a curve, and I think such bending would damage the device long term. It works for shoulders, but the balls are on a plane that is too flat to get into neck muscles.

the pillow is manuverable, you can just about position it anywhere it's needed. i move it typically 5 or 6 different places whenever i use it. Whenever i have specific pain and the massage unit hurts rather than helps, i can move it away from the sensitive area. I'm 50 and have regular back and shoulder pain and i love this thing. It'll take a knot out of your back in minutes. It's well worth the price. i prefer this unit cause i love combining the vibration and rotation functions together. Hope this helps.
