HoMedics Twin Percussion Pro Massager with Heat, Handheld Back Massager, Dual Node Heated Back, Neck, and Body Percussion Massager with Interchangeable Nodes to Relieve Back, Neck, Shoulder Tension

This is my choice for a great massage that really works on stiff muscles and pain all over the body. With its long handle, I can reach the muscles in my upper and lower back with heat. Don't use it for more than 15 minutes because it could damage the unit and over heat. I usually have it on for 3 to 5 minutes with great results

We've always used hand-held heated percussion massagers made by HoMedics. Our last one is still going strong, but runs loud and rattles. This model is similiar in weight and dimensions. The plus is that it's much quieter. There's an automatic 15 minute shut-off to prevent overheating. Fortunately, we bought two to allow for tandem use when one shuts off. The rubber grip handle is very comfortable and helps to absorb transferred vibration which might cause pain or discomfort when in use. Although this product can be used without assistance, it's much more effective with the aide of another person as the weight and angle can be awkward when applied onto the upper and lower back of the torso.
