Customer Reviews of Body Back Buddy
Customer Review: Not that impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I had high hopes that the back buddy would allow me to reduce the visits I made to receive deep tissue massage for my chronically tense neck and upper back muscles. Although the back buddy is well made and does provide pressure at trigger points, I haven't found it as effective as either rolling around the floor with a tennis ball under my back, or using a foam roller (very fun and effective). Probably would not have purchased it had I known this in advance. I gave it three stars though b/c it does what it claims (provides pressure on trigger points) and is well made.Customer Review: Great tool...if you remember to use it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great for getting those touch to reach spots in your back between your shoulder blades!
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from muscle tightness in their upper back.
I'm sure it's great for other areas of the body too, but this just happens to be the particular part I need to work on.
The easiest part is that you leverage your own body weight to apply the pressure - so YOU can decide how soft or hard to press on the trigger point.
Very happy with this product WHEN I can find the time to use it!
Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this a few months ago. I suffer from tension/stress along my left shoulder blade. It causes extreme pain throughout my left shoulder area and radiates up my neck and into my frontal chest. I've tried various devices and even a neck pillow to get relief. Nothing worked until I got the BBB. It took about 1.5 - 2 weeks of daily (several times a day) use, but now I'm completely pain free. Now, when I start to feel the least bit of tightness or twinging, out comes the BBB to the rescue. This thing is platinum to me. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.Customer Review: Wonderful tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Recommended to me by my physical therapist
Summary: 5 Stars
I know this thing looks crazy, but it's amazing for relaxing tight muscles that not even a massage from another person can get out. I suffer from a lot of tension, and my physical therapist recommended this to me and lent me hers to try until I decided to buy my own. It looked like a torture device to me when she first pulled out it, but now it's pretty much my best friend. The S shape is great, because if you are un-tensing a muscle in your shoulder, you can hook your leg onto the end and use that to pull down rather than using your other arm to pull it.
