Qinux Vibrathea for shoulder after desk work?

I’ve been putting mine more on the tops of my shoulders rather than upper back, which made a bigger difference for me. Still not something I’d call a fix, but it’s decent for loosening things up after a long day.

I get way more out of mine on my lower back than shoulders, but the pads do need to sit right on the meaty part or it just tickles. Ten minutes with the heat on is my usual. It won’t fix a whole day of sitting, but it takes the edge off.

I never really bought the “placement has to be perfect” thing. As long as the pads are stuck flat on skin you should feel something, and for me the shoulders actually responded better than my upper back did. Ten minutes on the higher settings while I’m still sitting there and they loosen up a bit. Not life changing but it’s not nothing either.

Shoulders were useless for mine.

I actually get decent use out of mine on my traps, like right where the shoulder meets the neck. Not so much directly on the shoulder cap though, that part never did much for me either. I usually run it while I’m still at my desk instead of after, and that seems to help more for some reason.

I wouldn’t bother chasing the perfect shoulder placement, they’re kind of awkward for that spot anyway. Mine felt fine for ten minutes then just turned into background noise. If it’s forgettable on your upper back it won’t magically get better lower down.

For me it mostly became a neck and upper back thing, not really a shoulder tool. If I want the shoulder itself addressed I’d rather do a few stretches or use a massage ball against a wall. The device is fine for what it is, but chasing placement on that spot got old fast.
