Does it work while charging?

It is built for cordless use on its battery and charges over USB-C. Plan sessions around the charge rather than expecting plug-in power.

Can I use it on my shoulders and back?

It is shaped for the neck and shoulders. The roller spacing is fixed, so it works best draped over the neck rather than pressed into the lower back.

Heat is an optional on/off mode paired with the massage. Intensity is set through the three speed levels, not a separate heat dial.

A plug-in pillow gives constant power and usually stronger, deeper pressure. This one trades some of that for heat and cordless freedom.

The massager, the battery, a power adapter and a USB-C charging cable.

People who want deep, firm pressure or a massager that stays on for an hour are better served by a corded shiatsu unit.
