Product Description
Body Back Buddy This popular design reflects years of feedback from massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. With 11 therapy knobs, the Body Back Buddy stimulates in between muscles and pinpoints trigger points for a more finely-tuned treatment. Engineered to be lightweight, strong and easy to use. Combines the best of the Body Back Buddy features for those who want the ultimate self massage tool. Overall length is 25 . Comes with a free 12 page instruction booklet. Directions: Hook the Body Back Buddy massage tool over your shoulder or around your side to treat hard to reach areas of the back, neck and shoulders. Hold it comfortably by the handles or the frame so that the therapy knob touches the affected muscle. Push away from your body with your lower or outside hand while guiding the therapy knob with the upper or inside hand. This leveraging technique creates self-directed pressure to the targeted muscle. You can also use the Body Back Buddy to apply healing pressure to many other parts of the body such as your legs, arms, feet, chest and hips. Its versatility allows you to approach each muscle from many angles in creative ways. Since there are hundreds of ways to use the Body Back Buddy, take a moment to experiment and find out what works best for you. Use it standing, sitting, lying down or with a partner. Place the therapy knob on the sore muscle (trigger point) and apply what you consider to be a comfortable amount of pressure. When this muscle compression is released it stimulates a therapeutic response. Pressure preferences vary from one person to another deep and intense or gentle and relaxing. However, only apply as much pressure as you feel comfortable with. More pressure is not necessarily better! Ten to thirty seconds is normally enough time to elicit a therapeutic response in the muscle. Applying too much pressure for too long causes the body to treat the pressure as an intrusion. For maximum results return to the treated area

No way! It really works?!   Review Date: November 21, 2007 Reviewer: Rainiercat, Vashon, WA, USA That was my question to friends who have this crazy-looking self-massage tool. After 10 minutes, I was "hooked". The best thing is that you can relax--as one should when trying to reduce pain--and even laugh while you tie yourself in a pretzel exploring the impact of each knob on each pain spot. And it's incredibly versatile. Neck pain? Got it! Cramp in the arch of your foot? Fixed. Muscle knot that you can't reach yourself? No worries. Besides, even if it doesn't work, what a great conversation starter on a cold rainy night in the Pacific Northwest: "Top 10 ways to use the Buddy Massage Cane that aren't found in the directions." Wonderful tool!   Review Date: November 7, 2006 Reviewer: LittleDeb, Newark, CA There is only one thing that I wish this tool would be and that is more travel friendly. It is a bit odd shaped and difficult to fit into a small to medium-sized gym bag and back pack. Otherwise I'd take it with me everywhere. It is very effective at getting rid of all the aches and pains developed after sleeping in a bad position, working long hours, sitting at a computer for too long, traveling, and over-exertion. I must have saved several hundred dollars in massage therapy and pain killer medication costs in the past year and a half that I've owned this. One of the best self-massage tools around   Review Date: March 31, 2008 Reviewer: ken in the city, First off, I usually have tightness in my shoulders and neck (probably from spending too much time in front of a computer all day at work). I also have stiffness in my lower back from time to time. The BBB is really effective at reaching all my knots and bringing relief through hitting those pressure points (on the neck, upper and lower shoulder blade, and all along the spine). What makes it so good is that when you position the "ball points" on those areas, the tool is designed so that you can use just modest leverage to get to the deep tissue. This is key because you can use this for quite a while and not get tired. I can't stress the importance of this enough. I find that with proper positioning, I can really get a lot of pressure by simply using my arm weight with modest effort. Also, I find that with some practice you can actually slide the ball points along your tight areas, which more effectively mimics a real massage vs. just getting point pressure (which I find brings less relief). For instance, by gently laying on top of the bbb (facing up), I can get a very deep lower back massage - and all by myself! The bbb is also very sturdy. Takes a little bit of experimentation to get used to it, but all in all, it's one of my favorite self-massage tools and I would highly recommend it. Great tool for self massage!   Review Date: September 2, 2007 Reviewer: KV Trout, Los Angeles, CA USA This is an absolutely great tool for massaging one's own "trigger points" or knotted muscles. The "thera-cane" is recommended by many trigger point practitioners, and this is even better in my opinion. It has more options and you can reach virtually any point of your body with this thing and dig into your muscles to help release the trigger points that cause pain. This thing works, and it's great. Especially if you already know where your trigger points are. If not, I recommend the book by Clair Davies, sold here, the title is something like The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. Anyway, this is a great tool. Overpriced, but you really can't get anything like this anywhere else for cheaper, so.... go for it! Really reaches the trigger points   Review Date: October 18, 2007 Reviewer: Lisa Z. Morgan, Petersburg, VA USA I ordered this to help release trigger points on my muscles to relieve fybromyalgia symptoms. It works wonderfully, and there is no place I cannot reach with one knob or another. The two ends of the "S" are different. One is a ball, the other shaped more like an elbow. The two perpendicular pieces are the same way. This tool will allow me to hit any trigger point I want to with as much depth or pressure as I need. Until I am rich enough to afford my own massage therapist, this is the next best thing.
