Hugterra™ Massager

Writing this after using for about 10 weeks so hopefully this helps someone decide. I'm a 42 year old software engineer so yeah, desk job = terrible posture. My neck hump wasn't as bad as some of the before pics I've seen but it was definitely noticeable and getting worse.

My wife kept nagging me about my posture (she means well) and I finally decided to do something about it when my 8 year old son asked why I always look down at the ground when we walk together. That hit me hard.

PROS:

Quality feels legit, not like cheap Amazon knockoffs

Actually does work if you stick with it

Easy to use while watching TV or whatever

Customer service responded quickly when I had questions

The heat and massage feels really good, almost addictive lol

My neck pain is basically gone now

Definitely improved my posture, coworkers have commented

CONS:

Expensive (though I guess less than PT would cost)

Takes longer than the marketing suggests. They say 2 weeks, took me about 3 weeks to see real changes

The first week was uncomfortable, felt like my neck muscles were sore

Have to clean it regularly or it gets gross

Wish the straps were a bit longer, I'm a bigger guy

Sometimes the EMS sensation is too intense even on lowest setting

REALISTIC RESULTS:

My hump isn't completely gone but it's probably 70% better. I look more normal in photos now and my wife says I carry myself differently. The neck pain I was getting is totally gone which is honestly the biggest win for me.

The key is managing…

Okay so I'm not usually one to write reviews but I felt like I had to share this because wow. I've been dealing with this awful neck hump for like 2 years now and it was honestly making me feel so self conscious. I'm 37 and work in marketing so I'm on my computer ALL day and I guess that just destroyed my posture over time.

I tried literally everything - those posture reminder apps (so annoying!), a posture corrector that felt like a torture device, even went to physical therapy for 3 months. Nothing worked and I was getting pretty discouraged. My sister kept telling me to just stand up straight but like... I WAS trying to stand up straight! The hump was still there.

Then I found this device after going down a rabbit hole on Facebook one night (you know how it is). The before and after pics looked almost too good to be true but the reviews seemed genuine so I figured why not, they have a money back guarantee anyway.

First off - the packaging is really nice, feels premium. The device itself is heavier than I expected which is actually good because it feels sturdy and well made. The instructions are super clear with pictures which I appreciated.

I've been using it for about 6 weeks now, 15 minutes every morning while I drink my coffee. And omg the difference is incredible! The hump is probably 80% gone now and people have been commenting that I look taller and more confident. My husband said I look like "the old me" again which made me tear up a little.

The only downsides…

Great quality. Material is a rubberlike feel and very durable. I love there are no wires attached so I can use anywhere. It is rechargeable and holds a charge for a long time. The massage, heat and EMS features are very responsive and effective. I love the remote control to change setting without having to readjust. Works great for neck pain or stiffness, I initially got it for myself, but my wife seems to also enjoy using it, so I ordered 1 more, worth every penny spent.

Neck pain is unfortunately common in my family, so we ordered two of these massagers. They work for every family member who has tried them. 5/5 from me! It does relieve stiffness & pain, and the results hold in time, the pain doesn't come back as it does with pills, and that's what matters for me.
