Wahl Deep Tissue Corded Long Handle Percussion Massager, Handheld Therapy with Variable Intensity to Relieve Pain in The Back, Neck, Shoulders, Muscles, & Legs, FSA Eligible, Model 4290-300
The Wahl Deep Tissue Percussion massager provides all-around and targeted muscle relief, even deep down, to speed healing or fitness recovery to support an active lifestyle. Percussion is the ultimate massage experience providing fast comfort by disrupting pain signals, increasing local blood circulation, blocking neurotransmitters, and may help decrease inflammation and increase oxytocin levels. All of these allow muscles to relax, reducing feelings of tiredness and pain. Deep kneading therapeutic massage helps relax and relieve muscle tightness all over your body. It has a combination of superior power– up to 3, 500 pulses per minute and four interchangeable heads for customized pain relief. Variable intensity control allows you to dial in from a gentle relaxing massage to a deep invigorating massage and everything in between depending on your condition or need. Equipped with 4 customizable massage attachment heads to ensure relief. The innovative Four Finger Flex attachment has four finger-like nodes to replicate a masseuse’s hands. The acupoint attachment head pinpoints deep into the tissue to break up knots. The Deep Muscle rounded attachment head is smooth to create a gentle, relaxing massage for all body use. The Flat Disc attachment is extra wide to provide a larger surface area for widespread vibration to cover large areas. Note: The massager has a temporary stall force of 22lbs – if this pressure is applied the massager will stop movement to prevent overloading the motor, that does not mean the massager is broken. It will resume function once it is turned off and then back on again. The product in the packaging may not be exactly the same as in the photo due to continuous improvements to the product. We have updated the internal components in March of 2023. FDA registered medical device.

Great messager , great value
This massager works well. It does have plastic parts so you wanna be sure not to over tighten the attachments. If you over tighten, you probably will break it. I saw notes that people think it’s loud. It does get loud if you don’t tighten the attachments correctly and if they’re loose, yes it’s very loud. But if you tighten correctly, it’s not that loud. It’s actually rather quiet I find. I strained both my calves and this product did very well to work that out and speed it up my recovery. I think it could last quite a while so long as you’re respectful of the plastic parts and don’t overdo it when tightening. I like that the handheld device has a dial to regulate how rapid the pulses are. Easy to use and operate. Yeah I think it’s a good product. Sure can’t beat the price.

great product, wonderful results
As an ageing leg amputee with increasing phantom limb pain associated with lower back muscles and nerves this massager has made a huge difference! I can’t imagine not having it to calm those sciatica-like shooting pains that otherwise incapacitate me. This will replace the acupuncture I’ve been using, and may be a replacement for spinal steroid injections. The Wahl quality seems to be consistent with a Wahl hair clipper I bought years ago. The plastic is sturdy, and if the connector remains good then this should last a long time. I like the long cord and I like the variable speed. I love this product and glad I went for the mid-range price rather than something cheaper.

Good size, styling, and performance, with possible defects
I really like the size, styling, and performance of this vibrator. Its long handle makes reaching legs and back easy, as well as facilitating using two hands to apply more pressure in deeper tissue. It’s more of a vibrator than an percussion massager, which is exactly what I wanted. As some other reviews have indicated, there can be defects which lead to a short life, despite its two-year warranty. It stopped working 28 days into the 30-day return period, so I exchanged it for another. I suspect a poorly soldered connection, which unfortunately is common in factories rushing the production line. I plan to push it to its full life, however, even if I have to exchange or repair another buggy one.

Vast waves of tension leave your body! Aaaaaaaahhhh!
This has been a lifesaver and will change your life, guaranteed. I am an older male who is still active and sometimes I push myself pretty hard. My muscles tense up and my wife is unable to massage with her hands alone. THIS is better than a “normal” massage. OK, that is, it costs only electricity and the time of your partner, is more easily available and I have found that the percussion quality of this device works every bit as well as a typical therapeutic oil massage. Granted, it doesn’t provide massage to the face, scalp, fingers, etc., etc., that a skilled massage therapist can do, but hits all the main targets, never gets tired, cramps, etc. and with its’ long handle, one can get a fairly decent self-massage if a willing “masseuse” is not available.The length and weight of this device permit the user to apply just enough pressure to really get into the deep tissue where knots and pain reside. Sometimes, depending on the head used and the operators’ technique, pain will be “discovered” residing in the shoulder blades, back, ribs, glutes, etc. that can then be massaged “out” through this device. Once that is done, vast amounts of tension leave the body, allowing for complete relaxation, deep, uninterrupted sleep and a much more relaxed state of mind.The vibration speed is fully adjustable. I like High, my wife likes Low.Technique is very subjective, but I recommend the following for best results.1) Near the edge of the long side of your bed, pile 3-5 pillows on top of each other and place your upper body on the pillows. This allows your ams to fall downward, not outward and is similar to the experience one might have when on a massage table. Here, your Trapezius and Rhomboid muscles are accessible, as your shoulder blades have moved outward. Your legs and feet can be open naturally on the bed. You may wish to have just your feet off the end of the bed. A rolled up towel or blanket under the ankles may help here instead of feet off the bed. The downward facing head can be supported with a small pillow or two under the forehead as well, allowing access to the length of the back of the neck.2) Start gently with the top (neck, base of the skull) of the back side of the body and work downward doing one side at a time. Use care and avoid bony areas such as skull, ribs, elbows, ankles, etc. Small circles are best. Vary the pressure depending on the size, mass and direction of the muscle tissue. Larger muscles require more aggressive application and more massage time to relax. Experiment with your partner to find out his/her needs. Some slightly lighter pressure long strokes may feel great horizontally across the back/ribs, femurs, calves, or you may hate having that area massaged. Everyone loves having the bottoms of their feet massaged, especially the arches.3) Some areas on the front of the body may be massaged using this device, but use caution here.4) Use of a cotton sheet over bare flesh keeps you warm and prevents the massage machine head from pulling hairs, ouch!These machines will last about 2 years with daily use. I highly recommend this item and would buy it again.UPDATE Dec. 2, 2016I purchased this item on March 7, 2016. It makes a LOT of noise and is starting to fail. My earlier assumption that it will last 2 years was wrong. It has not lasted one year! I know from past experience that if you use this item daily or 3-5 times per week, that is considered a lot. The internal parts are often made of plastic and wear out. This item is made cheaply to a specific price point. This has been used for only 9 months and is near the end of its useful life. I still recommend it, but now am disappointed that it didn’t even last one year.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
We have ordered roughly ten of these between my mom and me. we used to buy many Wahl products, but stopped after the numerous disappointments. My mom needs a good percussion massager with her severe arthritis and doesn’t like the guns. This one works well, when it works and that is rarely the case these days, they come out of the box broken, and since she must have one we were buying them in bulk. It’s a disappointment when you buy something that you need to be more comfortable and its broke out of the box. We have discovered a couple quick enough to return, but I am done. Wahl needs to look at their quality control, until then, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

It works well until it starts falling apart.
Nice unit however, shoddy manufacturing from the performance of the unit I received. A couple months after getting it the screw that holds the motor armature came out and was rattling around inside it until the screw eventually jammed the operation. The warranty is timed perfectly for the seller because every one of them lasts 30 days at least. I took apart the two casing halves and found that the screws golding them together were loose too. I found the damaged screw that had jammed the motor and replaced it applying Loctite to the screws so they would not loosen again. If the original assembly used 10 cents worth of Loctite to begin with it wouldn’t have came apart on its own with mild usage of the unit. The manufacturer should know that but didn’t apply Loctite it shook itself apart. I noticed another reviewer had the same problem and was nice enough to include pictures so I didn’t have to. I want to thank him for that. Good luck with your purchase because it’s obvious the assembly is shoddy at best. They need some quality control at thier assembly plant.

Es un buen producto, se siente robusto y funciona perfectamente. Me ha ayudado para calmar mi dolor de espalda y para masajear los pies cansados.
