    My chiropractor uses this kind of digital massage at the beginning of my visits for loosening my neck prior to cracking. It just kind of hurts a little, and I miss the roller table that my prior chiropractor used. Yesterday, I really pulled my lower back. My friend lent me her Hi-Dow xpIII, and I was very intrigued. It’s OK (seems to work just the same as my chiropractor’s fancier module), but the electronic sensations are kind of itchy to me (in any of the four pulsation modes) and not as exquisite as a real massage or a roller ball pad. Since the stick-on pads are kind of small, the pulses stay in one place for as long as you set it, and really I find it just gets annoying after about 5 minutes in the one spot. It needs to move over a much larger surface. I will not be purchasing one for myself.

    saw this on a vegas strip and sales person put it on my shoulders. it was great ans worked out the kinks in my luggage stressed shoulders.

    Ordered one instead of paying Vegas $$, and my Husband began using it for his bad knee. It has reduced the pain significantly. We don’t know why it works; His doctor doesn’t know why, but they think it blocks pain routes? but at this point, I may need to get one for myself, so I have it when I travel!

    Like a lot of people, I experienced the Hi-Dow XP3 in Vegas and decided to hunt it down when I returned from my trip. When it works, it’s great, but there seems to be a short in the wires connecting the unit (which feels flimsy) to the pads. If the position changes, it tends to stop working. I usually have to take the plug out and reinsert it a couple of times before it works again. They are proprietary, so you can’t quite go into Radio Shack for a replacement.

    The sensation is like your muscles are being flexed or massaged and it really helps with muscle soreness and relaxation. I use it after a trip to the gym or after a long work day to help prevent being sore the next day.

    The massage slippers (available through other sellers) are probably a men’s size 8 or 9, but the velcro straps help them stay on pretty well. The sensation from the slippers, which plug into the XP3 unit, is basically just low-grade electrocution. Like with the slippers, when the pads are used anywhere below the calf, it only seems to feel like tingling, rather than muscle stimulation or massage.

    Purchasing extra pads is recommended because they do dry out a bit, even with adding moisture and keeping them in a sealed bag.

    I bought the XP3 as I am an ex-collegiate rugby athlete and used a similar product for muscle aches and strains. It helps now since I sit at a desk all day and get bad neck and should pain from being tense.

    After 1 year with the product it started having a problem charging. I contacted Hi-Dow and they had me ship them the product to be looked over. Less than 2 weeks later I received a brand new product with a great explanation and apology. Apparently mine was one of the earlier versions that had a problem that has since been resolved. It was so refreshing to have such great, hassle-free customer service.

    I highly recommend the product as it works great and I highly recommend the company.
