I have used Dr. Ho's massage machine for 6 years+ and I love, love, love it. I was injured at work and have muscle aches all over my body from my neck to the bottom of my feet and after 20 to 30 minutes moving the pads to different positions with the massager I feel so relaxed and without pain until the next time I need a massage. If the pads get dry I put a couple of drops of water before storing away. I have not had to purchase new pads or batteries since I bought the unit and I use it weekly sometimes daily. I got mine from [] when Dr. Ho was on it came with a video on the best places to position the pads and their care. I was on pain killers and thought maybe the machine could help cause the pills wasn't working. Boy, I'm glad I gave it a try. Pros: Cheap massage (ever try to get a cheap massage no such thing or a family member to massage you until you feel better? Either it's not the right pressure or not long enough), private, you can use it as long as you need to, great on batteries, Con's: You have to figure the best places to place the pads for the best massage but the more you use it the easier this becomes.

I am in need of purchasing new gel pads, also I could use a new connecting white wires. I am missing the wires due to mt children thinking its a ear phones. The unit works great. It really works out that stiffness and reduces the inflamation.

Great little product but those with oily skin may have trouble with the gel pads. If the pads can't stick to you properly you will get 'stung' and what was supposed to be a nice massage turns into zapville! I know from experience. My husband, who does not have oily skin loves using the unit and has no problems at all with it.

Love the Dr. Ho unit - have used it for several years. If you have cronic muscle problems, it gives relief. Worth every penney.

A friend at work brought his into work one day and spent hours trying to see who could hold the pads at different parts of their body. We didnt use it at all like it said, but man it was the best day i think we ever had. The best is when you would hold one in each hand then turn it up all the way and see if you could ride it out for eight seconds, a kind of bullriding.

I've had my Dr. HO for at least 5 years and it's awesome. I have one area between my shoulder blades that gets incredibly tight and painful. While massage from my husband is great, he can't always apply the right kind of pressure--or stops too soon. Not so with Dr. Ho! Once I get the pads in the right position, I'm in heaven. I will crank that puppy up to the highest and hardest level and run it til my entire shoulder area is totally relaxed. It feels fantastic! You have to 'play' with the various settings. Too high and it hurts...have the pads in the wrong areas and it can 'pinch' not massage. When my gel pads wear out I will moisten them so they stick a little then lay back on my couch to really get a secure connection and it works great. This little gadget was well worth the money.

I bought the unit many years ago for muscle ache. Recently I have been undergoing Physical Therapy for a shoulder injury. The PT is having me use it to work the Rotator Cuff and Rhombis without actual exercise until it is well enough. Just a note. I am appalled at the person who was using it as a joke. The unit is not a 'massager', but a TENS machine for electrical stimulation of the muscles, and it works exactly like it is suppose to. I have had therapy with bigger, commercial units, and it works just as well, costs less and is portable. I'm sure the product was marketed as a massager because most lay people do not know what a TENS is.

I bought this device from [] thinking it'd be perfect for my lower back pain. I wouldn't call it massage-like, it's more like Shock Therapy. I waited too long to return it, so I thought I could use it on my friends - for entertainment purposes only. Like me, all of them hit the roof when they felt the rubber-band snap like feel of the current. I got only one positive reaction, and that was from my (practical joker)dad. I put the gel pads on his back, "you'll love it," I said with a big smirk on my face. I turned it up all the way and he said, "Yes, I told you this was the same thing my chiropractor uses to warm up my muscles before each session - feels great!" Totally disappointed by his positive reaction, i told him he was nuts and could keep it. Good example of differing opinions on one product.

I purchased my Dr. Ho Muscel Machine from an infomercial about 6 months after it came to the USA. I was amazed at how well such a small item could work. I later purchased a similar unit that was much larger, had to be plugged in, gel had to be applied and the pads had to be strapped on. The larger machine costs 3x what Dr. Ho's did and I never use it because it's just too big, too much trouble. With Dr. Ho's I can sit at my desk at work or walk around which getting wonderful relief. I suffer from fibromyalgia and it's a life saver. Now my husband who has degenerative disc disease uses it and he get great relief on those really bad days.

I have used this product for over two years. As an active individual sore muscles are common. The Dr. HO unit has been a great product for me. When my shoulder tightens down the unit does a great job of working the mucsles and loosen them up. I am happy with the product and would recomend it for use.

This product is just plain crap. My mom bought it and it does not give you a massage at all! The people on TV look like idiots since when they try it, it looks like they are having muscle spasm or epileptic seizures on the places they use Dr. Ho. The suction cups loose their suction power very easily. It just taps you like a person taping a stick at you. It DOES NOT work. Waste of time and money. Might as well go to a spa or have a masseuse since that is way better than feeling like someone is tapping you with a stick.

I bought this produce hoping it would help with "restless leg syndrome" and my husband's rotator cuff problem. We find it very relaxing, and certainly effective while it is on. We never expected this to be a cure - just a pleasant break from the pain or discomfort and it is. It takes a while to get the settings personalized, but now that I have, I begin my day with Dr. Ho's foot massage. I find it very relaxing.

I am a dancer and I need my muscles in shape at all time. I have had my Dr. Ho's Muscle Therapy for 4 years now and I love it! I have a bad lower back and I have been using Dr. Ho 2 times a day. It is wonderful how I can move. I have shared it with friends and they enjoy it also.

I saw this product on [] and purchased it. It is a wonderful little device that relieves all sorts of pain. I had terrible tennis elbow, neckaches, backaches, etc. and it does relieve the pain. However, one minor glitch in the device is that the connection between the pads and device itself has deteriorated, and I have to push on the connection to make it work. Also, the gel pads itself, although they are replaceable, it is too costly to purchase the replacement gel pads as they do not last very long if the device is used several times a week.

I purchased this product directly from Dr. Ho's official website and I love it. I had an invoice, a warranty and could apply for an additional warranty. I was concerned at first when I called them, I keep getting an answering machine. But I left a message and they called me back. This is a wonderful product and my back feels so much better.

I love my Dr Ho's Muscle Therapy product. I can not beleive the power of this little devise. I would not give it up. I work on the computer all day, may people do not realize that sitting all day in front of a computer is actually more painful then physical labor. Your back, writsts, arms and shoulder are constant in motion and nothing else. When I get home my upper body is constantly in pain, I have a headache all the time. My little Dr. Ho reliefs so much of this pain and tension. This is the best product I have ever boughten, I have gotten my monies worth and more. Many of my friends and family members wanted to borrow it, then can as long as it doesn't leave my sight. Thank you Dr HO.

I broke my tibia and febula just above the ankle while playing Ice Hockey and needed surgery to fix them with plates and screws. I was off my leg for 12 weeks and when I was given the OK to start physiotheraphy the swelling was severe and I had no strength in my foot or ankle. I asked my physiotheraphist about the Dr. Ho device and she told to me give it a try and that it should help some at least. Dr. Ho's Muscle Therapy device help with reducing the swelling. In three weeks I was walking without crutches and leg-pressing 100 lbs, wearing my running shoes, and I was back to work wearing my dress shoes. In addition, I perfomed regular stretching and deep massage which also helps break down the internal scar tissue which caused much of the swelling.

This is the best little gadget I have ever found. I have some damage to most of my joints and spine from martial arts, cliff jumping, horse riding, skating, acrobatics, and a car accident that left me with several cracked vertabrae in my spine. Dr. Ho makes such a difference to my quality of life. I have been using the same pads 3 days a week for two years now and they still stick. As with everything, they will work for you with proper care, wash area before applying to remove oils and lotions. Dr. Ho has helped me stay out of the operating room for several years now. I Love Dr. Ho!

I bought this massager about 6-7 years ago. And I still love it!! I ordered one for my father and all my friends have tried it and want to know where I got it. I ordered it from his own late night infomercial. You can order new pads once they wear out. And in the meantime, when they don't stick well anymore, you can lick your finger and run it over the pad and it will help it stick. It does amazing things to your muscles. You've got to try it! My friends ordered a different brand after trying my Dr. Ho and didn't get even close to the results! I paid $100 and it was well worth it. It's still going strong, and it only takes AAA batteries, not special batteries. Once you've used it awhile, you'll really notice a difference when you put in new batteries! Yowza!! Enjoy! It's worth it.
