Does this do shiatsu or rolling massage on the neck?

no, you need the neck massager, its a separate unit; http://www.amazon.com/HoMedics-NMS-350-Shiatsu-Massager-Vibration/dp/B002QV01LO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1388196863&sr=8-3&keywords=heated+neck+massager

Unless you are under 5' tall, this will not get your upper back, neck or low back. Can't find any anymore that covers your entire back.

No, it does not reach that high. It goes to about the shoulder blades, and I'm not tall!

This thing doesn't role on anything. Broke after 6 months and they didn't back the 2 year guarantee. Rip off!!

I am not familiar with the other massager but I am very pleased with this model that I purchased. I am a swimmer and sometimes my neck really gets knotted up a lot from long workouts in the pool. This massager has been a great reliever of this neck pain. I would recommend it .

This massager is more for muscles. Even trying to massage the neck is difficult because of pulling the hair and the massage is too dense even on the lowest speed.

This tool has definitely helped me make minor adjustments so I don't have to go to the chiropractor as often. I have not used it on my neck as I am not trained to know exactly where to place it safely. This tool delivers a milder kick than the one your chiropractor uses.

It is a Shiatsu (movement of rollers) but it works great. It does have the heat feature also, if you want it. I can only assume it is made in Sweden and that is how it gets the Swedish part of it???? Not sure about that though.

Rolling is just the massage rollers moving up and down. Kneading can be combined with motion up and down the back. It does not need to be stationary in one spot if you don't want it to be. Thanks BACKSTORE

If you roll on it on your back it will massage along you spine, yes. You can also lay on your stomach and have someone roll it along your spine.

I have a 17 1/2" neck and the design of this device doesn't permit a good neck massage. The only way I can make it work is to literally bend the base into a curve, and I think such bending would damage the device long term. It works for shoulders, but the balls are on a plane that is too flat to get into neck muscles.

Yes, it has an electric motor that rotates the head.the massager head is about 2"wide and works good for knots in your back.

I use this chair at my salon, clients love it! Yes it does massage your neck and it also massages your calves with air pressure. I give it five stars :-)

Dawn,I cant get it to work on my neck at all. It is just not useful for the neck the way it is built. I have to use another kind of vibrator massager for my neck. Surprised at the other two answers - I wish I could find out how they do it. sorry, after conflicting answers Im sure mine doesn't help.

It feels to be a vibrating massage. It has different patterns it will do, up and down, alternating spots, covers neck, upper back, middle back, lower back and the back of upper legs. You can pick which areas you want it to cover and the intensity and speed. I had one similar to this one before and I like this one much better. Hope this helps!

it was a gift for my dad so I don't use it but he says the massage is really more like a vibration. I don't think it is that great unfortunately :/

No, unfortunately. The rolling balls go as up as your shoulders and they are not specifically designed for your neck.

Not with the shiatsu mechanism. It does use compression on the tops of your feet. I think shiatsu on such a bony area would be very painful.

The massage areas are leg (ottoman), thigh, lumbar and back. You will feel the vibration in your neck, head area. It is not a massage, but more of a vibration. I enjoy having the lumbar setting on with heat. Really nice!
