LiBa Back and Neck Massager - Trigger Point Massage Tools for Pain Relief and Manual Massage Hook Therapy Handheld Back Neck Shoulder Massager Blue - Gift for Women & Men

This is an excellent device for knots and tension. For the past year I have been dealing with an on-and-off recurring headache problem. I've been trying a bunch of different things, but often pressing my fingers into the back of my neck has given me the most relief. The problem is that my hands aren't strong enough to massage the muscles as much as I'd like. This massager is wonderful. Because there's a hook design on both ends, it's easy to use the hook like a handle, and pull to apply more or less pressure when using it. The outside of this is plastic for sure, but the weight of it is really heavy and solid, so perhaps the interior is something different. It's the perfect weight for what I need. The size and shape can be a little awkward, because I often use it when lying on the couch, but only because my cat can't figure out how to cuddle with me while I use it, haha.

Highly recommend! Great for trigger point and myofacial release. I can treat my own plantar fasciitis and trigger points for migraine attacks. The design provides good leverage to any area requiring minimal effort to pinpoint areas and apply deep pressure

Really well made works great!

It does help reach that sore spot especially if you don't have anyone to reach it for you, or you do have someone but they're tired after 2 minutes! Anywho, it is a little on the heavy side but I believe it helps with asserting pressure without putting your own muscles into it. Comes with a handy guide. Used on back, shoulders, neck, outer thighs, calves, and feet. Strategically placed nodules throughout the massager are useful.

I ordered this brand because the 'famous' brand wasn't available for as speedy delivery. I'm normally patient, but this is the sort of thing that when you need it, you need it. I was afraid, because of the price, that it would be too flimsy and flexible to be useful, and that it would quickly fall apart. Instead I received a unit that is easy to assemble (just slide one part into the other until it clicks). It has just the right heft, and isn't flexible at all. The (not really original) design is very practical and easy to use. My own need was to apply pressure to muscles between my shoulder blades, and it's easy to get that positioned and put the pressure you want there. This feels good in the hand, it's a reasonable price, and it's fit for its purpose. I liked it well enough to order a second one to keep at work, just in case. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs this sort of device.

Exactly what I expected for my back. I appreciated that it arrived with specific exercises for back, neck arms and legs. Definitely worth the price.

Very functional and made it easy to get to those hard to reach spots on the back.

First off, this product is quality construction, and if you were to pick it up, having never before used a similar massage tool, you would rave about it. I gather thousands of other Amazon users did just that ;-) There are a number of flaws with this product, as compared to other almost identical products, however, which makes it worth choosing another in my opinion. The #1 reason I don't recommend this product, is it does not offer nearly as effective a massage with a similar amount of effort as others, particularly if you are a larger person. (not petite) The first reason for this is that the "back" arms (2 out of 3 of the arms on this tool) are too short to be useful for anything but neck, arms or legs. But, remember, any larger arm would be just as effective for any of those targets. This leaves just the one large arm to work your back, the number one area you can't reach with any other tool to massage yourself. That one arm does not have a handle which you can use to control it when digging in the center/center of my back (I'm 5'10", 270#) If they had mounted the arm closest to that so that it curved in the opposite direction, and the apex of the bend was just a bit further down the handle, I could easily grab that and leverage with it, but instead I'm left to reach behind me to grab the tip of this, and try to use that without that twisting effecting my back muscles. Finally, with regard to the quality of massage, every "point" on this tool has the exact same diameter perfect sphere as it's cap.. so, you always have the same blunt ball to dig in to everything. Sometimes, however, you want a smaller diameter sphere, or even something that comes to a bit of a point so that you can dig it in through the surface tension and really hit an acupressure point in need. (Look for the goosehead ends on other products) For me, I would say the spheres are too large altogether.. I would rather all of them were smaller so I could apply more pressure to a given point. It is also worth noting, with regards to reliability, that this product comes as 2 pieces which clip together. The clip is really robust, and the entire product is made with a lot of strong dense feeling plastic, so it seems like it will generally have a pretty good life span.. but that is a potential point of failure, and you are very specifically stressing that joint by the nature of how you use the tool. Once it's secured, it's virtually impossible to compress that button, and separate the pieces again without help and a tool, so it doesn't really offer any features to the end user, other than the knowledge that your shipping needs harmed the planet a bit less. When I dig with this product (I'm a big guy, so I apply a lot of pressure), I feel the plastics only just starting to bend.. I would generally say the amount of bend puts it in the range of unlikely to break for quite a while, but time will answer that question. All in all, this could do the trick, and it's amazing if you've never used a curved arm self back massager.. but you'll be muscling it a lot more to get the same results (or doing strange yoga poses where you lay your body into it while doing a 1 armed plank), the pricing all seems comparable, and it will probably be more likely to break than single mold items.

Buen producto si sirve

I get Upper back Muscle spasms from neck injury. When pain flares I press carefully on tender sore spots in upper back and shoulders and have been gradually building up length of time doing it. I breathe in first and then exhale as I press on the spot . Provides nearly instant relief from strong pain. So grateful to find this.

Instead of relieving pain I am suffering much more when ever I use this product.In manufacturer's manual it was clearly mentioned that the product can be returned back within 80days without assigning any reason. Contacted LiBa the manufacturer but they replied me to contact seller. Contacted seller too. They suggested me to contact Amazon. Amazon replied that it is not returnable item and hence can't help you. Though returnable within 80days period, I am unable to get it returned back to them.

I don't know what it is about the Theracane, but this thing doesn't seem to work as well as that thing. It's still not a bad massager though, so 4 stars.

After reading the 1-3 star reviews I was expecting a mediocre product, but this exceeded my expectations. The material is super sturdy plastic and has some good weight to it too! I read a few reviews saying it'd be easy enough to break, I'm honestly now sure how they figure that one because I don't think I'd ever be able to break this haha Works great for targeting hard to reach areas and I like the pamphlets that come with it with further instruction on how to use it :) Would reccomend!
