Buddy Classic - Trigger Point Massage Tool, Neck and Back Massager Handheld, Manual Self Massager, Massage Cane, Muscle Knot Remover with Instructions (Black Marbled)

Having had a bad back for numerous years now,I am at the end of my tether of trying to find products that will either help or cure. Not one has been successful....I've had Flexi bak, I've had a tennis ball plastic thing, I've had various heat belts that heat using magnets,I have a electric massager with heated balls no less,I have a posture corrector. I've always been put off this because of the £30 asking price and don't really see the point of cheaper imitations. Anyway,I got a gift card for Xmas rollso I took the plunge. Glad I did. Since I've used it ,I'm not saying I'm cured but my back feels so much better. Don't even know if I'm using it correctly.(I'm kinda sticking the balls in where I get pain,kneading the area for around 10 secs ,then releasing and apparently a surge of blood whooshes straight to the area,and aids the healing process. It sounds so simple and maybe it is because as I said previously,my back feels great. If you're unsure .....like I was.....take a punt. May be the best thing you do

Trifft genau den Punkt wenn man weiss wo

Ottimo x decontrarre i punti più lontani sulla schiena, consiglio vivamente. Facile da usare,un po’ ingombrante ma veramente ottimo, di buona fattura, la plastica è resistente .

Dit is een geweldige tool om triggerpoints en verklevingen mee los te maken. Zeer degelijk gemaakt en over de constructie (vorm / plaats handvaten - pennen etc.) is echt nagedacht. Ik kan nu mijn eigen schouders en rug masseren en knopen losmaken waar de therapeuten geen raad mee wisten omdat ze er niet aankwamen omdat ze zo diep zitten.

I am a fit, slim female in my 20s, so this tool is not just for those with age-related pains or gym-related pains! I have suffered from muscle knots in my neck and shoulders since high school, and the problem has worsened over time. Stress and prolonged periods in front of the computer make the problem infinitely worse. While massages and heat do help, it's difficult to reach the trigger points that give me the most grief without straining my arms and even being able to apply as much pressure as I'd like. A while back I got frustrated about not being able to apply the depth of pressure required to release the knots, and started using the "other" side of a hammer (i.e. the claw tool) to hook round my shoulder and dig into my levator scapulae. This way I could use traction from the front to put pressure on the muscle knot. While this unconventional method helped a lot, it was impractical as hammers are heavy and not designed for this purpose! Enter the body back buddy, which has been the best tool I've ever used for muscle knots. I use it in exactly the same way as I did the hammer, only this time it can reach further into the muscles and can get to literally any position on my whole back. The amount of pressure you can apply is amazing compared to the weak efforts using your hands alone. I typically use the pointed nodules rather than the round ones, as they get deeper into the knot (I can stand a lot of pressure and find this relieves the pain the best). I mainly use the very end nodule but do like the two close together in the curve of one of the ends, for applying pressure to the back of the base of the skull/neck too. A few people have mentioned its weight. It is heavier than I expected, but actually this was a pleasant surprise. It's purely because it's made of very high quality, strong plastic. I expected it to have a little flex to it, but no, it's very strong and can withstand any amount of pressure without budging. Obviously this is the kind of build quality you want in a tool specifically designed to apply pressure. I should state that I'm a very petite and thin 20-something, I am by no means a strong person and have absolutely no difficulty holding the item. I can't imagine the weight being an issue for anyone. I deliberated between the BBB, theracane and backnobber. I'm really pleased to have chosen this one for three reasons: 1) the two 'handles' are really, really useful for applying pressure. 2) I'm using the other various nodules more than I expected. 3) The pointed nodules work far better in my muscle knots than the round ones. For those reasons, I'd recommend this tool over the others. Although I've only been using the tool a brief time, it's loosened up my muscles and relieved pain immeasurably. It may seem pricey for what is essentially a piece of blue plastic, but I do not begrudge a single penny. For anyone who experiences chronic muscle knots, I can't recommend this highly enough.
