Body Back Buddy Classic USA Made Handheld Full Body Massage Cane Pressure & Trigger Point Massage Tool for Deep Tissue Pain Relief - Dual Massage Hooks for Back, Shoulder, Neck. Manual Back Massager

Very sturdy piece of equipment. Performs as advertised. I'm using it right now as I write this. I use it primarily on the soles of my feet and my lower back. The "pain" is so relieving."We have such sights to show you."

This SIMPLE product is amazing! My PT suggested something similar to this. I read reviews and I was skeptical something like this could be helpful. I mean how good can it loosen up muscles?? We'll it does!! I bought several other muscle loosing products and this is the ONLY one that does the trick. First it's VERY VERY STURDY/STRONG. Once you snap the two piece together it's NOT separating, there's no way you can bend or break this thing- it's solid. I thought about keeping them separated but then you can't reach around the back to use it - simple but makes sense. And when I say it reaches around the back, it reaches ALL THE WAY AROUND!!! I have tight muscles/pain by shoulder blades I just couldn't reach and really a strange spot but this product does the trick. You can probably reach EVERY INCH of your neck, shoulders and back including lower back that would be difficult to reach otherwise. It's a big product so it's not like it compacts down to fit in a suitcase but then again it's very very sturdy and strong.A bit pricey but what's the price to pay for pain relief?? Worth every single penny! Oh and an added bonus, this is 100% made in USA in Tennessee! Don't hesitate to buy! It's totally worth it!

This is the best whole body and back massager evvvvvrrr! I have a graveyard of mediocre massage and accupressure tools...but nothing has ever come close to the effectiveness and ease of use as this. I wish I bought the Body Back Buddy sooner, I could have saved myself a lot of money and aches.... It effortlessly reaches all the places in my neck, shoulders, and back. I love the handles to really maximize being able to use this alone. Its amazing being in control of precise locations and amounts of pressure applied to knots or tense spots where I otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach. This can be used without twisting my body like a contortionist or getting a friend to help me. Its easy enough that my 65+yo parents can use it, and so can my 11yo daughter. I would have used this as a college swimmer/water polo player to alleviate a lot of pain and agony without paying 50 bucks a session. I would highly recommend this for anyone, but especially if you are someone who has gotten relief from expensive deep tissue or acupressure massages. I cant even tell you how many wall corners I have dug my shoulder into in an attempt to relieve the pain shooting into my head....or the elbows I have borrowed from friends to dig into my scapula🤣!! I am sooo happy to finally find this.... I literally apply as much or as little pressure in the perfect spot and I am able to breathe and feel the tension or knots almost melt away. I cannot say enough good stuff about this. Just buy it. Right now!

Like many other reviewers', my BBB didn't come with a "12 page instruction booklet". It came with a small (2" square) 4-page advertisement for itself showing an athletic woman in Spandex holding it in various ways and smiling, with no text description of what she was doing. I put it aside for weeks, afraid of hurting myself trying to use it without knowing what I was doing.Eventually a severe back spasm led me back to it in desperation and I started gently "playing" with it. I was surprised to find that it's relatively intuitive, despite looking intimidating. If you've ever used a kitchen counter or table corner, square support post, or doorknob to rub your back against, the same instincts apply here -- you just have LOTS more options. Position some knob or another against a sore spot, apply gentle pressure, and wiggle. After a few seconds you'll naturally gravitate toward the motion and degree of pressure that feels good and helps. It's a little slow (I use it while watching TV or doing something else) but inexpensive compared to massage, and with practice you can get very good at controlling the amount, type, and direction of pressure -- something that can be difficult to communicate to another person.The length can make it cumbersome but also provides what I see as its greatest strength: you can get excellent leverage by positioning one hook-end knob against the target muscle, holding it one of the side protrusions with one hand while moving the free end back and forth with the other. By taking advantage of it as a lever with multiple potential fulcrums and choking up or down with the moving hand, arthritics and fibromyalgics like myself can manage self-massage with minimal strength applied and very little movement. With a few days' practice, I learned to get significantly more benefit from the BBB in proportion to strength and energy exerted than any other self-massage tool I've tried -- that is, whatever area I've targeted feels much better without causing my arms or hands to feel just as bad in trade-off.For more pressure, position yourself so that the weight of your limb or body is resting on the applied knobby-bit; unlike a tennis ball or knobbler, this gives you pressure from below with control from above -- that is, you don't have to have your hand contorted underneath yourself to move it back and forth while resting your weight on it, nor is there a need to move your whole body back and forth, both of which can be very tiring.The length also makes it versatile while sitting, if you have room to swing it around yourself. I've managed to rub my neck, back, arms, legs, and feet, all in the same position on the couch, over the course of an hour-long TV program. If I hold it properly, I get a bonus hand massage in the process.An excellent product, minus one star for lack of instruction. It's referred to in books I own which give more technical advice than this, but one shouldn't have to buy an additional $30 book to avoid letting an item sit in a closet for not knowing how to use it.

Great. Works well if you know how to use it. It has eased my sciatica pain significantly.

10 out of 10!!!! I used it for about an hour the first night it came. It is so easy to use and does such a good job. The manufacturer offers a one year replacement warranty, so if you are worried that it might break, there is your security. I have found it to be very solid and does not have a lot of flex and provides amazing effective at pinpointing the knots and massaging them. I shouldn’t have waited so long to get this. Your back and shoulders will thank you! It also does a great job on so many other muscles.

I was having an awful pain in my neck daily. By applying pressure to my neck where the pain was with the Body Back Massager, I finally got some relief. I was amazed! The pain in my neck is now going away. I’m very happy with this product and so relieved to have this help for pain. I highly recommend. It can also be used for other parts of your body, not just your back.
