Hey sorry to hear that but I don’t work for Hyperice so there’s nothing I can do for you. You should reach out to their customer service team. Hope that helps!
I just measured it and the heating pad component is about 11 inches in width and 9 inches in height. You can easily place it in other areas than the lower back. To get the lats/upper back, the best way is to lay on it which is what I often have patients do in my office when that is the problem area. If you're looking to wear it and move around, then I don't think it would be as good for the upper back area compared to using it on the lower back area and moving around. I hope that helps!
Just want to say Thanks! Honestly I don't have severe back pain but I get pretty tender when I run and I was looking for some relief and a way to loosen up that muscle! Picking this up! Thanks for the honest review man. It's always hard to find!
Hey Brian, Do you think it would be good for my mom who has back pain. She went to the orthopedic doctor and they said that if she continues working as a dressmaker (since most of the times she has to sit on chair) her back pain might turns into a serious issue. So I was thinking if this could help her.
Hey, it's a good question. And without knowing her history or being her doctor, I would say that in general, this belt is very beneficial for those who have back pain and can be a useful intervention. I hope that helps!
Hey Matt, thanks for the question! First, congratulations on the pregnancy! Second, I think this would be great for pregnancy as the heat + vibration is a great combination along with the fact that you can wear it and walk around. When my wife was pregnant, the heat really helped to deal with some of the pregnancy pains. I hope that helps!
I really appreciate your honest review. I have been suffering from sciatic nerve pain/bulging disc that made standing and walking difficult. My life had been turned upside down after an auto accident. Physical therapy made my pain worse. I don't expect a miracle with this product, but if it can provide some relief, it would be worth the price. Thanks again.
I'm so sorry to hear about the sciatic nerve pain/bulging disc. I do hope you find relief soon and I hope the Venom 2 can provide you some temporary relief as you keep searching for an answer. My best advice, focus on what you can do, not what you can't do and stay positive!
Good question! I mean, you could but why? You cannot turn on the unit when it is plugged in. The one I use in my clinic, I have had for about 1.5 years and use it extensively and I can use it about 3 times for 15 minutes before I need to charge it again. Hope that helps!
Hey there! thanks for the review, it was useful! How are the vibration levels in yours? Compared to other HyperIce products, in mine I noticed that vibration level 2 changes the vibration timing, rather than making it more intense (as in the massage gun for example).
You are correct, instead of changing the intensity like in the vyper 3, the button purely changes it to a different type of vibration but doesn’t change the intensity. I find the 2nd and 3rd modes of the vibration on this to be useless and I never use them and none of my patients have preferred them. With that said, I do like the 1st mode of vibration. Glad you found the review useful!
@@ElitePerformanceInstitute thanks for taking the time to answer! It was very helpful, and hope this information can be helpful to more people in here. It sucks that they made the vibration pattern like that, but overall is a solid product. Again, thank you for the honest and informative review!!!
