Hey everybody its Doctor Jo, and it's product review time again. The folks at Zyllion
sent me their ZMA-20 shiatsu massage pillow. So let's get started.
What's great about this shiatsu massage pillow is that it also
has heat, so it really helps relax those muscles. Since it's a massage pillow, it's
not quite as intense as some of their other shiatsu massagers, but that's
good because sometimes people say that's a little too much pressure. If you've had
it before, it's pretty intense, so this is good because it's not quite as intense,
but it also has a little covering which makes it more intense or less intense, so
let me show you what I'm talking about. So this one is black, it also comes in a
bunch of different colors that you can check out online, and then it has a wall
adapter that you can use at home, and it also has a car adapter that you can use
in the car. That's really nice too because if you're driving and everything
gets sore, you can use it in the car. So if you take a look here, this is really
cool this is the back side, but this is the the pillow side, so if you
want to leave it out it's it's pretty. It looks like a pillow. So you can just have
it on your couch or in a chair or something and it kind of blends in. it's
really nice and the the material is nice too because if it gets a little dirty,
it's easy to clean off. This V spring motion is really cool because what it
does is it gives that little give in there, so it's not as much pressure which
I was talking about earlier, so you don't have it quite as intense, but it still
helps out in there which is really nice. You can see here is the on/off button,
and if you press it once it comes on with the heat, if you press it again the
massagers will still be on but there won't be heat, and then if you hold it
down for three seconds it will all turn off. This is where you plug it in right
here, and I will plug it into the power so I can show you what everything looks
like in just a second, but here on this side is where the massager is so that's
really cool, and this is the flap that you can use this not quite as intense if
you just want a light shiatsu massage, but if you want a little bit more, it
has these little buttons here where you can just undo this piece and
then roll it down, and then have the direct spots here. So that's really nice
as well. And even though a lot of times when you think of these things for
shiatsu, you think of your neck and your back, you can also use it on your legs,
your feet, your thighs, kind of anywhere that's a little sore, even on your calves, so
that's that's fun as well. So let me plug it in and show you what
it looks like because it's kind of neat with the heat it has the little red glow,
and so that looks cool as well, and we can show you what it looks like moving.
So now that I have it plugged in, I just push the button and you can see how it
starts massaging here. So there's two massage balls on each side, one's bigger
and one's a little bit smaller, and that's what just kind of rolls in there
really gets it in deep to the muscle. If you have some trigger points, that works
really well, and it's very nice and comfortable. I don't know if you can see
the red where the heat is on, and then so if you don't want the heat you just hit
the power button one more time and it's still massaging, but there's not the heat
component, so that's really nice as well. What's also very cool it's got a safety
feature where it automatically shuts off after 20 minutes, and when you're doing
Heat especially or even really intense massages, you should really only go for
about 20 minutes. You know if you're in a massage place with a therapist, they go a
little bit longer but they can do different kind of techniques and stuff,
but it's really nice because it shuts off after about 20 minutes, so that's a
very nice safety feature. And then if you want to turn it all the way off you just
hit the power button and you hold it for three seconds and then it turns off. So
that's really cool as well. So let me show you some positions where it gives
you a nice massage. So as you can see here, I'm laying on it it's kind of in
the middle part of my neck to the upper part of my neck, so when I turn it on its
going to kind of get that base of the skull a little bit where a lot of those
muscles come and attach. So I'm going to turn it on again, and it's nice because
this is very comfortable and it's not super super pressure but if you want to
move it a little bit more, that will get it more intense. So sometimes you
just have to find the spot for it there, and it does that circular motion that
multi-directional and after it goes for a little bit one
way, it'll turn and go the other way so it goes in a couple different directions
which is really nice, and then you can just move it down your body. If you want
it more on the shoulder area, maybe those upper traps that levator
area, you can just move it up a little bit and still just relax your head so
your neck muscles are nice and relaxed and not getting stressed out, and then
you can just kind of work it down your body. So you can do the whole spine, again
like I said you can, you know, you can do your glutes, you can do your hamstrings
in the back, and your thighs down to the calves, even into your feet. So since it's
a pillow like kind of thing, that cushion the pillow, you can really just kind of
relax on it it's very comfortable. Whoo-hoo and pretty intense, so if you're
on a firmer surface you might want to be able to come up just a little bit, but if
you're on a couch or bed or something that's probably pretty good, but remember
you know you don't want it to be so intense the first time because your body
has to get used to it a little bit, or if you're going to do it very intensely,
just do it for a couple minutes and then work your way up from there. So then you
can also bring it down and then just kind of maybe put it on the calf area a
little bit, and then so your calf goes in the middle and then those massage balls
kind of go on the outside just really working that spot. So that's very nice
and comfortable as well. Feels really good. It's relaxing those
muscles. The heat is also helping to relax those muscles and just getting
that massage in there. So you know if you've got trigger points or tender
points, or you're just achey because maybe you've done a lot that day, this is
a really nice way to help relax everything. And then if you want your to
go with your feet, then you can just kind of put your foot in the middle there. And
what's also nice about the pillow is you can also use it as a lumbar support if
you're sitting in a chair, so not only can you turn around and do the massaging
while you're in a chair, but if you have it off you can flip it around where that
V is and then use it as nice little lumbar support. So it's kind
of used for a couple different purposes as well, so I like that a lot. And again
if you want a little bit more of the massaging the shiatsu, you can take this
top part off and then have it directly on there. So again now I'm going to get
just a little more intense of the massage with those massage balls right
there, so that's nice. And then if you want to get maybe the bottom of your
foot you could even turn it sideways and do like that. I wouldn't you stand on and
put a lot of pressure that way just kind of place your foot on there and get it
that way, so that's nice as well. So there you have it just remember that like any
kind of massages, like if you actually go get a massage from somebody, you're gonna
be a little sore afterwards. I know you might be sore and that's why you're
using it, but a good massage really working those muscles out, getting those
trigger points out, you're gonna be sore afterwards because it's pushing on the
spots it's trying to release this area. So as long as you're maybe sore that
night a little bit the next morning, and then feel better the next day, you're
doing fine. So again you might not want to start off with a lot the first time
because most likely you'll be a little bit sore. If you have any questions, leave it
