Neck, Shoulder & Upper Back Pain Relief Manual Massager – Trigger Point Tool for Trapezius Tightness, Tension Headaches, Tech-Neck, and Suboccipital Release

If you have neck/trapezoid /back/shoulder problems I cannot recommend this enough! I know it is pricey, but it works!! I had a frozen shoulder 3 plus years ago, and still to this day can have my trap area literally click and lock up when I overwork myself. This device has saved me!!Whenever I get sore , which is often, this breaks up the knots in the tissues and immediately puts me back on track without further damage accumulating. At first it hurts. It is very HEAVY and dense, but this is also why I think it works as effectively as it does. It is Made super well and the trigger points dig deep in to your tissues. If it hurts too much at first, lay on your bed and use it and it will softe. It up but be effective. I’m telling you after you do use it, it’s a game changer! I always feels like a new person put back together again. Over time the “hurt” becomes a hurts so good type of feel and it isn’t as intense. So keep at it, if you found it too much at first. I just breathed through it but then after a few minutes when I stood up I realized how much better I felt!I even had lower back pain the other day from leaning over my sink while bathing multiple pets, I used it mostly where you are suppose to at the top part of my neck and back and the. rearranged it and also got in some areas on my lower back. While it isn’t designed for that it still worked!All fascia is connected too, but it took care of and saved me from rushing off to the chiropractor! It is worth its weight in gold in saving you from chiropractor appointments, and a whole lot of pain!!

Fantastic, superb, mind-blowing, invigorating, enlivening, TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE!To try to describe why isn't easy, but it wakes things up and brings them on board, it allows me to put the most remarkable kind of shiatsu pressure on spots and at angles that are worth dozens of shiatsu sessions to be able to do myself, whenever I feel like it.I have lots of devices, they each do different things. I only need this to do what it does - which is something absolutely superb and wonderful.There seem to be knock-offs, I would order them to try but the time and energy to return them makes the experiment pointless. I just know that this thing is primo, non plus ultra, the level I call "most amazing". Better than going to a fancy restaurant including wine. Subjectively, this is a really, really fantastic experience. I'm surprised such things are available - I mean the experience - at this price.By the way, you'll have to experiment. And mileage may vary - this device is perfect for some things I was trying to do but couldn't figure out how to do at the right angle with the right pressure. I don't know where you're at or what your body is needing at this point.I've gotten a lot of these kinds of things just now. Kind of eenie-meenie-miney mo - some new ones arrived today. But out of the bunch, this is one of the keepers. Really, really helpful in ways I can't properly articulate here.Very worth getting. I think I just realized that it may be this thing that's allowing me to sleep so much more deeply and completely the last few days. This thing is actually magnificent.But they should call it "The Lobster" because of the way it looks. Ahh - you know what? Even if the knock-offs were as good, and I bet they aren't - the material this is made out of is PERRRRRFECT for what this thing does. Why fiddle with that? And it's kind of offensive that others just copied it that completely. I don't really trust a company that operates like that to do the right things where it matters.Pretty crazy how great this thing is, especially as you continue to use it and your body begins to crave it in particular ways. You can use your legs to lift your body so the pressure is applied to different areas in different ways, and in some spots practically stand your body up to put a lot of pressure on particular spots. But the exact consistency of this material is perfect, so I wouldn't really want to try a knock-off at this point.Yeah, very positive review on this thing.

Ok, this thing looks weird and hurts like hell when you first do it. I have made it part of my daily treatment. I had a pinched nerve in my neck which lead to stiff shoulder's. I use this for 20 minutes with the movements provided in the video then do 20 minutes of ice and then 20 minutes of heat. This has helped loosen the shoulder and back muscles and reduces the nerve pain going down my right arm. I am actually shocked it works. You do have to give it a shot, because at first it sucks(hurts.) it is now part of my daily routine. Full disclosure, I have previously started intermittent fasting and walking everyday to get moving and change my diet to increase protein intake and vegetables and removed sugar to reduce inflammation. This was a good start, lost weight and felt better, but my neck and shoulder were still in al lot of pain. If you have stiff shoulders or neck and shoulder pain you may want to add it to your routine. I was doing neck traction and now use this instead, since the nerve is no longer pinched, but the surrounding muscles were tight.

The listing for this product goes into depth about how theirs is the original and the cheaper "knock offs" aren't as good. I think if a product is shaped the same and the same density you will have the same experience regardless of cost or brand. The material is sort of a tacky rubber so it will pull long hair and slightly stick to clothes, but I think they are all that way. This one is quite heavy whereas the product listing for this says the knock-offs are lighter weight. I don't think it really matters.As for this one, I mostly find it useful enough for the price. It takes some trial and error to get placement just right and the guidance that comes with it was not optimal for me. In no configuration will it get my lower neck area, but it does get my tight traps and along the spine. I actually find that putting it sideways or upside down gets the best relief. For reference I am a 5'3 female of normal or slightly light weight with no major back issues but a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck from bad posture sitting and looking at my phone too much. I do not get any "A HA!" type of relief, but it feels good while I am using it and helps me wind down before bed. I have better luck if I put my feet up on a chair and wiggle on it to get a deep pressure point massage which isn't really possible just laying there.
