Body BackBuddy Classic USA Made Handheld Massage Cane - Full Body Trigger Point Tool for Deep Tissue Pain Relief - Dual Hooks for Back, Shoulder, Neck - (2.0 Black)

Crazy how well this thing works!You can give yourself just the right amount of pressure exactly where you need it for the length of time you need. I always hurt on my trapezius muscles and upper back/neck. I have significant tightness due to occipital neuralgia and I get terrible migraines from it. This simple device has been a life saver in being able to loosen tense muscles. Especially if you live alone and have no one to help you with those hard to reach places on the back.Whoever invented this is a genius.

I love this. My doctor recommended it for my shoulder tension, but I have used it all over where I am sore. I paid more for this USA made product and it was worth it. Very sturdy and feels well made. It has easy designated places to hold and has really helped with the pain in my trapezoids. Highly recommend that if you are looking at one of these, this is definitely the one to get

This product is amazing. It can hit and spot on your back that needs to be massaged. It has different shaped nibs in it for different types of pressure to get rid of knots. Easy to use. I am a nurse and this helps me with the knots in my shoulders and back.

This was recommended by my physical therapist.It has been a more than welcome addition.I have arthritis along most of my spine, and have had to learn different ways of doing things.Unfortunately, I quite often get knots in the muscles, that are sometimes quite uncomfortable.This has become a very useful tool in helping to relieve and reduce the pressure caused by those knots.I would highly recommend.

my son is a PT tech and was asking for one of these for his birthday. This back buddy is so cool. When there’s no one there to give you a massage, you can do it yourself. Remember to take it easy and don’t dig in to your sore areas like I did when I first used it. It is very effective and a handy little tool.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Made in U.S.A. Build quality:Well built Functionality:Works good if you use it as recommended Relaxation:Relieves tension in my upper back and shoulders.

Just a described. Good quality at a good price. Light Weight. Effective relief of pain points.

Was really excited to get this item and hoping to experience relief but this tool had some flaws. Maybe it works for others and it's just me but one the primary trigger point knob is just too pointy. The knobs numbered 1 and 2, which are what I would be using most. It's simply too damn pointy and hurts more than not. I've simultaneously bought another brand hoping to keep as a secondary to use and waited for this one expecting higher quality because it's made in the U.S.The other brand that I included pictures of, had knobs that were round which I found to be far more comfortable rather than painful. Again, maybe I'm not using this correctly but that pointy design just doesn't work for me.Both the blue(made in U.S.) and the black(made in China) felt like similar quality, I mean as should be if the imitation one also uses fiberglass/plastic composition. The black one has a big and smaller "hook" which I found offered more options in terms of usage. The handle designs looks all weird but strangely effective in terms of giving one grip and leverage. On both the blue and black products there are the knobs for massaging neck and lower back. I honestly don't know how to best use the ones for the neck OR the ones for lower back. Those neck knobs are all fixed distances which didn't feel like they were able to hit the right spot(both blue and black.)The lower back knobs, like wise, are fixed and I don't feel it hits the right spots either. The black one is even worse with the mutli-knob design. None of those knobs hits anywhere comfortable or for relief.I've bought the accessory product for neck massage and included pictures. Those seems like dense rubber of some sort with a little give which does feel comfortable when used on your neck. It's screwed in via plastic as seen in the pictures. You can adjust the distances of the two "golf balls." They should've incorporated this design into the trigger point massager cane instead of those hard stubby knobs. The accessory neck massager feels mostly plastic, or whatever material it's made of. Not sure how durable it is over time as stress is put on the material but if used with moderate force it shouldn't break. I don't see myself putting so much clamping force on my neck even with this being plastic, to the point of breakage.The stick is rather hard to take apart once attached but not so if you have two people to provide leverage while pushing down the locking mechanism with a proper too of some sort, just don't do it carelessly as I can see people causing self harm in the process.I'll be returning the blue one while keeping the black one from another seller, primarily due to the knob being pointy vs round. I prefer the round type. Would gladly buy American but these damn Chinese imitation products are so abundant and competitive with their design that they kick out multiple variations where some designs are actually better.Make another trigger point massager with rounded ends with the golf ball screw in design with some solid material instead of plastic that might break in the long run and I'll definitely be throwing my money for that new version!
