Customer Reviews of Body Back Buddy
Customer Review: It looks weird, but try it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have killer chronic back pain because of a car accident years ago and a bulging disc. I can't get to a massage therapist as often as I need to, so having a way to hit pressure points on my own back is really nice. The little knobbies that are supposed to do your neck don't really work for me, but for getting under my shoulder blades and even running up and down the sides of my spine, the pointy end really works. It has more bumps than I use, but once I got used to how it works, it really works.Customer Review: Independant Pain Relief
Summary: 4 Stars
This funny looking device has been a blessing for me. No more leaning on door jams or begging family members for a shoulder rub. This thing is great after hours on the PC or sewing machine. Works well for the upper/lower back, shoulders, neck and even the soles of your feet. It comes with a helpful card showing different positions to get those troublesome spots. Of course the Back Buddy won't replace a Licensed Therapist, however I highly recommend this for in between therapy/massage visits.Customer Review: Reliever of sore pressure points.
Summary: 5 Stars
For a do-it-yourself job, this instrument does a fine job. It greatly helps to relieve sore pressure points and tight spots. There are limitations when working on myself -- I'm using my own muscles to operate this tool, so I can't relax the same as if I was having a massage or physical therapist work on me. So after considering the limitations of a self-applied tension reducer, this works fine. I have one at home and another one at my office -- I use one or both of them almost daily.Customer Review: fantastic, beats the theracane
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful tool, it's like the next generation leap from the theracane. I have weak arms and hands and find the theracane difficult to grip and maneuver (have had it for at least 15 yrs. The Body Back Buddy has a flat surface to hold on to and it is much easier to grip as a result, is extremely lightweight but not at all flimsy. The knobs are well positioned and the pointy knobs are a great tool to have as well. This thing is awesome! I'm coming back for the mini to bring it to work!Customer Review: Great for Trigger Point Pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I have knots in my neck, upper back and scapula area that I just can't get rid off and bought this after reading an article about trigger points...muscles that have been in spasm so long they form knots. I've been diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome and use this every evening or morning after taking a hot bath and it helps to relive the pain temporarily. I have just begun medical treatment and I need other care to deal with the knots, but the Back Buddy has been a great adjunct.
