Body Back Buddy 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)

Awesome tool that has helped my back greatly. It was recommended to me by a chiropractor. I use this tool whenever I need to self massage my lower back or shoulder. It hasn’t let me down yet. The handy poster it comes with is quite informative and shows many ways to utilize the tool to your benefit. It is crafted of a sturdy polymer and seems quite durable. Great price for it as well considering how helpful this can be. Would recommend for anyone looking to relieve some tension in their body.

I used to try and guide my husband on how to massage the knots out of my trapezius muscles because they get wickedly right and hurt really badly. Now I can easily massage the pain away myself and get that sweet sweet pain relief. I got introduced to a device similar at the Airrosti I went to but theirs was WAY more expensive. This is a great price for basically the same tool. It's light weight and good quality. Only major complaint I have is I'm a plus size lady and so this is a BIT snug around some of my curves

Made of high quality and it's very durable. I love a deep back massage and even with pulling hard, it doesn't budge. You couldn't bend it if you tried. It helps a lot with my back pain and it's great compared to back massages or other items since it isn't super loud and obnoxious. It sits there patiently in my closet just waiting to be a hero lol. Worth every penny.

The Body Back Buddy is by far the best hook massage tool in my collection for a number of reasons.First off, I also own the standard S-Hook as well as the Theracane and from my experience with all three, this one is the winner by a long shot.The S-Hook's main advantage is the ability to take it apart, which makes it very compact for travel purposes. But even still, I like to take the BBB with me unless compact space is absolutely critical.The Thera-Cane's main advantage is its simplicity. It is one-sided and fairly light-weight compared to the BBB.Now for the real review, the Body Back Buddy has many advantages over the above mentioned tools.- 11 knobs in assorted sizes and shapes from small to round to pointy- Large enough to command and control comfortably- Handles are angled for better leverage compared to other tools- Can use on practically every muscle group from abs, chest, shoulders, whole back, quads, hams, feet, neck, etc...- Great conversation starterSummary:When I say I take my BBB with me everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE! It's that awesome! I'm at a computer for 10 hours-a-day almost every day and before I found the BBB, I had a hard time releasing tight muscles and trigger points. Although I did have the S-Hook and Theracane, I found myself not using them as much as I do the BBB. My best guess is that it just wasn't as effective and I quickly got tired of effort required. It's true that you can use your body weight and larger muscle groups to leverage the pressure on the aforementioned tools, but the BBB is just much better at it.I especially love the pointy knobs for really digging into deep trigger points in the back, shoulder and feet. The center knob does a great job of releasing tension in the Multifidus muscles along the spine all the way up to the back of your neck.TIPS:- I highly recommend picking up The Frozen Shoulder Workbook and the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook if you're serious about learning how trigger points affect your body. The combination of the BBB and those books make a highly effective solution if you suffer from musculoskeletal issues. This combination helped me recover from a severe snowboarding accident as well as empower me to help myself AND learn about my body.- There are so many creative ways to use this tool, years later, I still discover new uses!- Try using the handle knobs to get your chest, abdomen areas. I've noticed that people often just ignore the handle knobs, myself included in the beginning.- Breathing is crucial to getting that "release" or "squishing" on trigger points. Try to breathe and massage synergistically, focusing on expanding the area you're working on with the breath.

I love this thing. I have chronic pain, and my muscles will get knotted and just trigger a whole chain through my body, making me ache into my bones. I have learned that if I can get the right pressure points done with enough firmness and patience, I find a significant level of relief. This tool allows me the ability to do that for myself (it's good and sturdy and all the angles and handles help get the pressure where you need it - the instructions have some good tips to get you started), particularly for my back, neck, and shoulders (which also helps release my arms), and has earned a permanent place in my pain-relieving "toolkit." I've been using it periodically for years now, and don't see any reason it won't last many more.

You put two pieces together to form the Body Back. Once together, they have been a solid piece to really push into the pressure points and help bring some relief. I have been very pleased.

The shape of the knobs was painfully poking. I think something a little bit more rounded would be good. I just couldn't get used to it. But it was obviously a very heavy duty product. I was really sad to return it, but the company was excellent about the return. I'm really sad that it didn't work out, or that they didn't have other options with less painful knobs.
