If you have rheumatoid arthritis, then I know you have muscle aches and pains. Ah! Wouldn’t it be great to have your own personal masseuse available at your fingertips 24/7? While that would be wonderful, its not very practical. However, the Pure Wave Massager is maybe the next best thing to having your own personal masseuse. For a little more than the price of a single massage, the Pure Wave body massager can put deep tissue therapy within your reach.
The Pado Pure Wave Massager is the most powerful and soothing cordless massager on the market. They are cordless, so you don’t have a cord that is always in your way. And being cordless also gives you portability. Consequently, you can take it wherever you want to go.
Pure Wave Cordless Massagers are lightweight and ergonomically designed, therefore very easy and comfortable to use. In addition, they are often recommended by chiropractors. AND they come with a 90 day money back guarantee and a two year warranty.
My only regret is not finding the Pure Wave Body Massager sooner!
How Does the Pado Pure Wave Massager Work?
Muscles are actually suppose to “slide'”, but instead sometimes they get knotted. A muscle knot is actually scar tissue that forms when a muscle clinches too hard for too long. The blood flow stops, so the muscle cells actually die and scar tissue forms.
The PureWave Massager will vibrate that muscle. This will allow the blood to flow into the muscle again. The extra blood flow releases those knots thus allowing the muscle to slide again. As a result, when the trigger point goes away, the pain goes away. Drugs can deaden the pain, but the Pure Wave massager can actually help to heal the nerves and muscles.
How is the Pado Pure Wave Massager Powered?
Pure Wave Massagers are cordless because they run on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This gives you more flexibility and portability and you don’t have a pesky cord hanging around your neck while you are using it.
Make sure you charge your Pure Wave massager for at least two hours before you use it the first time. Better yet, charging it overnight is recommended. After this initial charge it will only take about an hour to recharge.
According to the manufacturer, when fully charged, you should get about two hours of continuous use. Most people will use it about 20 minutes per day and at that rate one charge should last about a week. If you don’t use it that often, the charge might last for weeks.
I just put mine back on the charger each time after using it. As a result, then it is always ready to go. It is ok to leave the massager connected to the charger when not in use. According to the manufacturer, leaving it connected will not deplete the life of the battery. In fact, they also say it is best to keep the battery charged rather than allowing it to discharge completely. Tests have shown that the battery should last about 500+ full charge cycles. So it should last about 2-5 years depending on how much it is used. Mine has lasted four years and I use it constantly!
NEW 2021 Purewave™ Gen II Dual Massager
PUREWAVE™ CM-07 Dual Motor Percussion + Micro-Vibration Mode With 7 AttachmentsBuy on Amazon
The Pado Pure Wave massager CM-07 has the most features and can use all of the tips. It is a little on the expensive size in comparison to other brands, but in my opinion it is well worth the extra money.
It features a dual motor design. On one end is a percussion motor and in the handle of the CM-07 is a vibration motor. The percussion mode offers deep tissue massage, tension relief and dissolves knots. And the vibration mode targets delicate tissue and pinpoints pressure areas. Ideal for headaches, jaw pain and for facial massage. Both motors can be specifically adjusted to the intensity of your choice.
Approximate dimensions of the Pado CM-07 are 17.25″L x 2.75″W x 4″H. With that extra length and the ergonomic design of the curved handle, I can reach all the way down to the middle of my back.
Weighing in at only 1.75 pounds it is very lightweight and easy to manipulate. After a bit you will learn how to maneuver the massager using the end of the handle and using the weight of the massager to get into the muscles.
There are seven therapy grade tips that come with the Pado Pure Wave CM-07. The 3D pivot tip, six head, air cushion, point tip and the stainless massage are used with the percussion mode. The scalp tip and migraine tip are used with the micro-vibration mode. I like to run the scalp tip through my hair, it is so relaxing.
It also includes a nice box to store and carry it in.

Description of the Massage Sticks
3D Pivot Tip
This tip distributes even pressure across your joints. It contours to your body with its wide arch design. The swivel head design easily maneuvers angles and reduces hand fatigue, allowing for a continuous glide wherever you need relief.
Air Cushion Tip
The air cushion stick is the most versatile of all the sticks. You can use it on your lower back, soles of your feet, shoulders and neck. It is designed to be used on a lot of body areas where you can’t normally use a massager. For example, a good spot to use this tip is in sensitive areas like the knees, elbows, shoulder joints, ankles, hands or feet.
If you are looking for a softer massage pressure, then is the tip you would want to use. It can also be used to give relief from bed sores due to hospitalization. It’s a great all around tip.
Six-Head Tip
Using the 6 head stick is like getting a firm deep tissue massage. Therefore it is great for hitting those bigger muscle area; the hamstrings, thighs, calves, lower back, hips and glutes. So this tip will help prevent sports injuries and will also speed up muscle recovery time.
People who have diabetes love this tip to help relieve cramps in their legs. It will improve circulation especially in the feet and the calves.
Point Tip
The point stick will give you a deep tissue massage. The combination of the pin-point acupressure tip and the Pure Wave’s powerful percussion motor allow you to drill down into those stubborn knots. For instance, it is great for the lower back, soles of your feet, shoulders and neck.
My neck and shoulder muscles always seem to be tight, so I use this point a lot. It allows me to get into those trapezius muscles and release the knots. Then I use the scalp tip on the sides and back of my neck and the very top of my shoulders.
Scalp Tip
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax while you run the Pure Wave’s scalp massage stick through your hair. This tip is designed to be used on the scalp, temples and upper neck. So it is a great way to release tension, stress and headaches.
Personally my neck gets really stiff on the sides, way up just below the hairline. This tip works wonders for loosening up those neck muscles. As a result it helps loosen up all the muscles below too.
Body Oil Tip
This stick is an answer to my dream. I’ve always wished there was some way I could get my favorite pain relief cream to the middle of my back without having to ask someone else to do it. With the body massage oil stick I can! Just dab the cream onto the tip and you can reach anywhere. And at the same time, you are getting a great massage too!
My favorite pain cream to use in conjunction with the Pure Wave Massager is Penetrex. It is just the right consistency and it rubs right in with the oil stick attachment. I can actually feel a difference right away after applying Penetrex.
Stainless Cream Applicator Tip
This tip is used like the body oil tip above, just a little larger.
Migraine Tip
The migraine tip is used with the vibration motor that is on the end of the handle. It is great for tension headaches, TMJ and acute tendonitis.
Tips for Using Your Pado Pure Wave Massager
- Use the weight of the massager to do the work. For example, most of my problem areas are the shoulders and mid back. I hold the massager by the end of the handle dangling it over my back. I let the massager lay on the muscle allowing the weight of the massager to penetrate the muscle.
- My chiropractor told me to be sure to have a layer of something like clothing between the massager and your skin.
- If you use too slow of a speed it will kind of “thump” and isn’t as comfortable as using a higher speed. I usually have the speed dial set about 2/3 of the way.
- The massage oil stick that comes with the CM7 model is one of my favorites. The pain relief cream I use with the massage oil stick is called Penetrex. The CM7 massager allows you to put the cream on the stick and then use the massager to place it on areas that you can’t normally reach like the mid back. Then once it gets worked in, switch to another of your favorite tips to massage it in good.
