Hi, this is Jeff here at Road Trail Run
0:04
and we're taking a look at the Chirp uh
0:07
contour decompression and massage table,
0:11
which is a professionalgrade massage
0:14
table that uh specifically targets your
0:18
back,
0:20
um neck and shoulders with a series of
0:23
rollers that uh roll along through the
0:26
center here, targeting your spine.
0:30
Um, it's got these neck rollers up here.
0:33
Um,
0:36
the Chirp Contour retails for $5.99.
0:41
Um, comes with
0:43
uh a remote here, which is really easy
0:46
to use. Um, I did note in my review
0:49
that, um, the
0:53
lettering is a little small, but I have
0:56
aging eyes, I admit. But um what can be
0:59
tough is that these little lights here,
1:01
if the lighting is not great, it'll
1:04
shine in your eyes and it's kind of hard
1:05
to see. But the good news is is that the
1:08
buttons are really laid out intuitively.
1:12
So after a day,
1:16
maybe two days, I just kind of memorize
1:18
where all the buttons were. So I don't
1:20
even really need to look at it here. Um
1:23
so it comes with this remote that's
1:24
tethered to a cable here. Um, it's got a
1:28
long power cable, so you can, it's
1:30
pretty flexible. You can set it up, you
1:33
know, anywhere in the house. Um, what's
1:36
really nice is that, you know, the
1:38
remote is tethered with the power and,
1:42
um, data cable. You know, all the
1:45
controls go through the cable itself.
1:48
Um, but what you do is it's got a nice
1:50
little pocket here, so you don't ever
1:53
lose the remote, which would easily
1:55
happen in this house. Um, but one really
1:59
nice thing is that, uh, it's got this
2:02
little
2:03
little hatch here, and it comes with
2:06
three different three different massage
2:09
rollers. So, this one is the contour
2:12
roller. So, it's got four different
2:15
rollers on there. Um, you've also got
2:19
this is the soft roller which has, you
2:22
know, very soft kind of rubbery um a
2:26
little easier on your back. This is what
2:28
I started off with till I got a little
2:31
more used to it. And then you've got
2:33
this um deep tissue roller which I tried
2:36
once but I have to say that was a little
2:39
bit much for me. Um but I've settled on
2:42
this kind of medium tension one here.
2:45
Um, but my initial impressions were uh
2:49
when I first laid on it, I was kind of a
2:52
little squeamish, kind of, yeah, that's
2:54
uh felt a little intense, but I'll admit
2:57
that the times that I've had massages in
3:00
the past. Um, I've always gone with kind
3:04
of a medium pressure. I'm a little bit
3:06
of a wimp when it comes to massages. So,
3:09
um, you know, when I laid on this table,
3:11
it felt a little intense. Even on the
3:14
lower settings, um, but you know, once I
3:19
used it for maybe two or three days, I
3:22
really started to get accustomed to it
3:24
and I was able to, uh, up the intensity
3:27
a little bit. Um, so basically you've
3:30
got your power button here and you've
3:34
got a rolling action.
3:38
Um, with this button here you can set
3:40
the intensity from, you know, low,
3:43
medium to high. You got the
3:47
decompression mode which kind of has a
3:51
little bit more oscillating
3:53
and um, kind of digs in a little deeper.
3:56
or you can target it to one specific
3:58
spot. So if like your lower back is
4:01
hurting a little more, you can um you
4:05
can adjust the rollers to go down or up,
4:08
however, however you really need. Um so
4:11
you can just kind of hone in on on the
4:13
right spot. Um, then you've got these
4:16
preset modes,
4:18
um, warm up, recovery, and relax, which
4:22
has, you know, different oscillating
4:24
motions.
4:26
Um, what I really like about this, it's
4:29
not really cold yet, but the
4:33
the chirp contour is heated, so you've
4:35
got two different heat settings. You can
4:37
keep it off completely or you can put it
4:40
on the lower heat setting, the upper
4:43
heat setting. And that's really nice. It
4:45
helps kind of warm up your muscles and
4:49
ligaments while the rollers do their job
4:52
to loosen up your spine. Um, and one of
4:56
the things, another feature that I
4:58
really like on this is it's got the
5:00
oscillating
5:02
um, neck massage. So
5:05
this is amazing. You can
5:09
adjust the, you know, positioning of it
5:12
depending on your height. So
5:16
you basically sit your butt right down
5:18
here on the end. And then, and it's
5:20
critical to get kind of lined up just
5:23
right. I usually get my butt bones right
5:26
centered. And then um you can adjust
5:30
this lower if you're shorter or higher,
5:34
you know, if you're taller, obviously.
5:36
I'm not sure the exact height range, but
5:38
assume that it would fit somebody
5:40
anywhere from 5t tall to well over six
5:44
feet. Um, and depending on how far you
5:47
adjust this, you know, the the whole
5:50
rollers in here will span the whole, you
5:52
know, if you have it way down here and
5:54
you're shorter, it's just going to kind
5:55
of do a shorter span. But if it's way up
5:58
here, it kind of runs the whole length
6:00
of your back, no matter how tall you
6:02
are. So, that's really customizable. And
6:06
one thing that's really nice on the
6:07
remote here, it has two presets. So, if
6:09
you're um sharing it with somebody,
6:14
um you can set the presets right to
6:17
where you want. Kind of like a car seat,
6:18
you know, the seat in your car um with
6:21
all the mirrors and everything. So,
6:23
that's really really handy. Um so, as it
6:27
turns out, um I listed in my review, one
6:31
of the procs is that this massage table
6:36
is so fun to use. not fun to use, but
6:39
it's h so effective and really relieves
6:42
back tension
6:44
and neck tension and um really makes
6:48
makes you more limber and flexible. So
6:52
um I have a wife and two daughters. My
6:55
daughters are 15, so they're way too
6:57
young to have back and neck problems,
6:59
but they've been using it quite a bit.
7:01
They're on the swim team, so I think it
7:03
kind of helps loosen them up before and
7:06
after swim practice. And uh my wife as
7:09
well, she's uh a runner and also a nurse
7:14
and she's on her feet all day and comes
7:16
home kind of sore from a long day at
7:18
work and she'll go ahead on laying list
7:21
as well. So, um
7:25
procon, we're always um fighting over
7:29
who gets to use it. we almost need to
7:31
make a schedule. Um, but for my own
7:34
personal use, I work at a, you know, I
7:37
work at a desk all day. So, I have a
7:40
standing desk, so I'm up and down and
7:43
um, but I'm often getting sore just
7:45
sitting. So, this massage table has
7:49
really really helped me to
7:52
um, kind of ease that chronic pain that
7:55
I've been having. Um, also being a trail
7:59
runner and bicyclist,
8:02
um, no matter how careful I am or how
8:04
well my positioning is on the bike, I
8:06
still have a sore neck and shoulders,
8:08
particularly my trapezius. So, um, when
8:12
I lay on this, the neck rotation,
8:15
it really digs in, gets gets my neck and
8:19
shoulders. Um, if I want to get my
8:22
trapezius, I kind of back the, you know,
8:26
the positioning of it down. You can kind
8:28
of hone it in right where you need,
8:31
which is really nice. And then you can
8:32
also, you can also reverse the
8:36
oscillating mode, so it goes clockwise
8:39
or counterclockwise. So, you can
8:41
fine-tune it, you know, depending on how
8:44
you're feeling, um, and right where you
8:46
need that pressure the most. But um
8:51
yeah, I've gone I typically do the
8:53
rolling
8:55
here or the maybe the warm-up mode. It
8:58
does kind of a low pressure rolling
9:01
action. Um I typically, you know, do the
9:04
low or medium, but I'll lay on this in
9:07
the morning before I go for a bike ride
9:09
or a run. Um helps loosen me up. And
9:13
over the last few weeks, it has really
9:15
reduced the uh chronic pain that I've
9:17
been having in my in my back and neck
9:21
and shoulders. Um which has been really
9:24
nice. And then during my workday,
9:26
sometimes I'll just take a 10-minute
9:29
break and go lay on the contour table
9:31
and um helps me to loosen up and then
9:34
I'll do it, you know, in the evening
9:37
before I go to bed. Um so it's really
9:39
nice. Two or three times a day is
9:41
plenty.
9:42
Um, and at $5.99, you know, that's
9:47
not cheap. That's not a small chunk of
9:49
change to pay, but um, the contour table
9:53
is really high quality materials and,
9:56
you know, the mechanisms and all the
9:58
internal parts seem, uh, very high
10:01
quality and
10:04
I'm confident that it's going to last a
10:06
long time. Um, it's just super well
10:09
built. It's durable. uh weighs 22
10:12
pounds, so it's light enough that you
10:14
can uh carry it around. It's got this
10:16
handy uh carrying handle here.
10:21
It's um 7 in tall from, you know, the
10:24
base to the top of the shoulder rollers
10:27
here, so can easily slide under your
10:29
bed. Um so it's transportable. I think
10:33
it's 43 in long. Um, so yeah, it's a
10:38
really it's a compact size. You know,
10:41
it's just just right. It stores easily.
10:44
You can carry it around no problem. Um,
10:47
and like I said, $5.99 is not cheap, but
10:50
when you think about, you know, what a
10:52
massage costs, um, it's pretty
10:55
expensive. So, just, you know, several
10:58
massages, you'd have this paid for. Um,
11:01
of course it only gets your back, neck,
11:02
and shoulders, but you know, for me
11:05
personally, that's all I need. Um, and
11:09
it's really, really helped reduce the
11:12
chronic pain that I've had. Um, I also
11:16
had a T5 and T6 vertebrae fracture in
11:19
March after a slip on the ice and a
11:22
fall. So, um, you know, I'm long over
11:26
that. I feel like I fully recovered, but
11:29
um I I still do get a little bit of pain
11:31
from that. And I would say this isn't a
11:34
cure all for all back problems. Um if
11:37
you have any severe slipped or herniated
11:40
discs or just had back surgery, you
11:42
might want to consult with a doctor to
11:44
make sure it's okay or safe to do so. Um
11:49
but for you know most of the world who
11:53
you know has some kind of back pain or
11:55
neck pain at some point in their lives
11:57
you know whether it's from um health
12:00
problems or um working at a desk all day
12:04
or doing highle sports running or
12:08
cycling or anything like that. Um this
12:11
is a huge help. It just helps limber you
12:14
up and loosen you up. And um yeah, I
12:17
would highly recommend these. Um and
12:20
thanks for watching.
