Got a seat massage for our trip. It works at home and in the car. Tried it out tonight. This thing is awesome! Hope it works on the trip.

Good! Let us know how it works.

Good! What kind did you get and where?

Amazon.com. it is called Relaxzen. I paid $22.00 for it. If it helps me through this trip I will have gotten my money back and then some :-)

I looked on amazon. Thank you for posting. They also have recliners I would like to have one for the bedroom.

Thanks for sharing. I hope it helps your travels to be a bit more comfortable. Traveling is hard on me as I know it is for many of us here.
I went to Amazon and can't find the Relaxzen seat massager for $22. But I see one for 39.99.
Either way. I like the sound of it and I also saw the chairs. They seem good too.

At the place where I take my car for service they have a massage chair in the waiting area that I always take advantage of. The chair is a high end one with kneading and rolling and all sorts of moves you can choose on the remote and the chair is very sturdy and the massage feels good though it is firm and it can hurt a bit. That's how strong the massage function is. I would Love to be able to afford one of those but It's probably over a grand though.

Lol..now I am window shopping for chair massagers.
You've got me on this now. :)

I have seen these types of things in stores and I didn't think they would be that good but going by the reviews on these massage seats they seem to be quite effective at bringing some relief. The Different brands vary.

I like the look of the Homedics Shiatsu seat. Sounds like it's more of what I would like. I use tennis balls to get into sore spots so I actually prefer a bit of pressure even though it hurts. Ya know? But afterwards it feels good.

Happy travels to you and let us know how the seat works out for you.

I like the heat idea but how does it massage? I don't think I could handle a vibration.

I've been having so much trouble sitting since my vulvectomy at the end of January, I still can't sit without a tire.
