Pressure Positive Co. The Jacknobber II (Purple)

My feet and shoulders tend to cause me the most pain and this Jacknobber has given me a lot of relief. For my shoulders, I typically use my theracane as I haven't figured just how to correctly position this thing to dig into my shoulders, but for my feet, this is awesome. There are 4 different sized ends allowing you to switch to the size needed in order to get to the knot causing the pain. I typically run the largest one up and down my arches over my socks to loosen up and sort of "warm up" the area I'm going to work on, and then I use one of the smaller sizes to apply direct pressure and work out the knots.Depending on how much I work the same area, I can end up sore, but the relief I feel overrides any temporary soreness. One 30 minute session with my jacknobber is usually good enough to keep my feet pain free for a solid week before I need to use it again. Now, going back to my shoulders, this thing feels AMAZING when my husband uses it to do my shoulders for me, but like I said, I can't seem to pinpoint my shoulder knots and get it as deep as he can.This also feels good on my calves. Just lightly running it up and down my legs relieves a lot of tension. I think this is a great product for knots and pressure points and the hard plastic material leads me to believe this thing will last for a very long time. I also like how lightweight it is so it doesn't tire my hands when I'm using it. It's also a perfect size ( it stands 3.5" tall and 4" long) and comfortably fits into my hands and my husband's hands.

First, the Jacknobber is made of hardened, smooth clear plastic (may be a diff material) and it is made in the USA. It has four pressure points of different sizes, I use the bigger ones to apply pressure to areas on my neck and shoulder and instantly feel it working on trigger points. You can massage or simply apply pressure to your trigger points to relieve some of your pain. I suggest holding the jacknobber down for about 20 seconds on trigger points or slowly slide up and down on larger areas you are working on.My wife has used it on me and I on her. We both have felt a huge difference compared to other products we've used. I like the fact that it is so smooth, it slides on your skin with ease, without the need to use lotion or balms. You can still use some, but I don't think you'll need to.The Jacknobber is compact, light and very strong. I can't really see it snapping off. A great, well made product.Give it a try, but be patient and do it right. You might need more than just a few sessions/tries. This product is not intented to cure or resolve medical issues you maybe having. I have pain due to an industrial accident, so the Jacknobber only helps me get temporary relief, but as short as it maybe, this little tool does help me work on my trigger points.If you any doubts, ask your doctor first. Good Luck.

My wife is relentless with the back rub requests and I have the onset of carpal tunnel to contend with so I ordered this little guy to alleviate my own discomfort during the massages. It arrived in the mail a couple days ago and we are officially through the product's test phase. This review, obviously, is unique to my wife and I so please take that into consideration - she's pretty small.Firstly, on my end, things are great. Most of the quad-legged massage tools I've used have a main ball for grip. They're usually large, which is fine, but they don't allow for much movement . The Jacknobber is much easier to grip. I'm trying to find a way to describe it but I imagine you can sort it out by looking at the picture. My fingers web between the different prongs allowing me a stronger, more confident grip. Because of this, movement is smoother and the strain on my palm and wrists is lessened greatly. Thus, for me, this tool is a solid victory and definitely worth the low prices I'm seeing here.Now, we have ran into some problems working her back with it. Again, my wife is a slight whisper of a woman and running this thing along her spine feels a bit aggressive sometimes. The smoothness of the nobs allow for a kinder transition over bone but it's still not exactly what we need - said nobs are too far apart to hug snugly her spine. This isn't a huge problem, however, as I just rotate my grip and work the muscles with one ball instead of two. If you're servicing a skinny woman, buyer beware. You'll get inventive but shoulder work is pretty easy as is the base of the skull.Where the Jacknobber truly shone, though, was in footwork. After toying with this for a bit my wife got horizontal on the couch and put her feet in my lap. We watched television for a bit before I decided to try massaging the pads and arches of her feet and was wildly successful. It's deliciously invigorating to dole out a moan-garnering foot rub to a woman and for this I thank the Pressure Positive Company with hysterical zeal. At one point I got up to use the restroom and when I came back, she had continued where I left off and was working the ball of a foot at her toe base.Something to keep in mind. :)I recommend swooping this little dude up because the price is nice and every man needs these kinds of weapons in the arsenal.I thank you for your time.- t

simple object made to be an excellent massaging tool
