In their words
“I just received my wave order and tested it out and it feels so much better than I anticipated. The massages on the neck as well as the imitation thumbs that need and massage my shoulder/neck area feel amazing. Those are my problem areas that tense and knot up on a daily basis. I am sure that I will be using this daily to work through the stress and tension in my shoulder and neck areas. Now I am ”

“I need a neck massager, so I bought “Miko Wave” with high hopes! I was surprised when I tried it on, that the massage/vibration was on my lower skull and shoulder bone, not on my neck muscles. (there was an air gap at the neck muscles needing massaging) (muscles circled in red in pic). Still hopeful, I reached out to Miko for an instructional video or adjustments.”
