LiBa Back and Neck Massager - Trigger Point Massage Tools for Pain Relief and Manual Massage Hook Therapy Handheld Back Neck Shoulder Massager Black - Gift for Women & Men

The media could not be loaded. As a physical therapist, I recommend this theracane so often. So many patients may not have the means to get a massage frequently, nor have a partner or person in their life that could give them massages.This device is helpful to relieving trigger point knots while maintaining good body ergonomics and without exerting a ton of force. That last part is important, without exerting a ton of force, as this helps you to relax while you're also kneading into those tight spots in your shoulders back, and anywhere.It has various knobbies so that you can use the larger curve for your shoulders and back, and the smaller curve for your biceps triceps and feet (just a fee examples) As well as a middle knob to dig into your IT band quadricep and side body.I like this product's material quality as it's very sturdy and doesn't give a lot like the name, brand theracane and other variations. This product also comes in two pieces that you can snap together, I've never needed to take it apart, it looks like it's not made to easily take apart, however, that's also an option if you are going to travel with it and need to make it fit into a smaller space.Because of the material quality it does not hold on to heat or cold and does not make any noises.Overall, I highly recommend this product, I use mine just about everyday to loosen up trigger points in my upper trap muscles, sub occipital upper neck, and feet. For the price point of $20 or so, I find it holds it value and lives up to it's hype.

Very sturdy similar to one used in PT. Snaps into place and joint holds well under pressure

This is the greatest item it’s ever been invented for back and neck and any type of body pain. I’ve actually quit going to the chiropractor since I purchased this item. This has been a lifesaver. It is super high-quality. Very very easy to use. it’s like having my own portable chiropractor anytime I need to use it. Very very helpful for pain relief .

At this point, I think I have tried every affordable consumer product on the market for back stress/tension relief. Everything ranging from shiatsu massagers to percussion massagers to roller massagers to more expensive TENS units to ...well, you get the idea. They each work for some things and not others. And now I've got this strange looking device. It was more affordable than other similar items that I had found on Amazon. There are now three primary items in my arsenal of self back-massage/stress-relief tools in order of preference: This tool, tennis balls in an old sock (it's cheap, portable, and extremely effective), and a cheap lower back shiatsu massager that I've had for about 7 years. Seriously, this weird looking thing took the esteemed position previously occupied by an old sock with tennis balls stuffed into it.Why did I knock of a star? Because the neck knobs are too far apart for my neck. I have a long, slender neck, so this only does part of the job. As a result, this device is hard to use for my neck. I can imagine this device being used heavily by older folks whose bodies are falling apart who are just looking for some pain relief and many of those folks are also going to have slender necks and therefore experience similar difficulties.But for the back, which is generally hard to reach in the first place and where most stress knots form, oh man is this amazing. It requires very little arm strength to use to reach the most sensitive areas of the back and apply pressure. And since I am in complete control (unlike shiatsu, roller, and percussion massagers), the amount of pressure I apply is entirely up to me.The following tip is not in the instruction manual but totally should be: Focus on breathing deeply while using this device. The result is phenomenal near-instantaneous relief. When I'm not breathing deeply while using the device, it just doesn't seem nearly as effective.If you suffer irregular migraines and/or frequent headaches, this device and the tennis balls in a sock are now my two recommended solutions - previously my recommendation was just "tennis balls in an old sock" to which I got lots of strange looks. Also, look at how you sleep at night. I used to get splitting headaches 3 to 4 times per week (they were pretty debilitating and miserable) and then I finally figured out my head was compressing badly while I slept, so I found a pillow that raised up my neck which fixed that core problem. I was still left with occasional stress headaches, which is where self-massage tools like this one come in. They work out the knots before they become a serious problem.Structurally, this device is made of a single solid piece of dense plastic. The amount of pressure needed to use it properly is nowhere near the amount of pressure that would be needed to break it. With general care, it should last several lifetimes. Overall, it is good, solid construction that feels very sturdy. In a pinch (e.g. a home invasion), it could be used as a defensive weapon.

Don't pay ridiculous prices! This is perfect. It does everything the average person needs. Strong and sturdy,breaks down to make it easy to carry. Instructions with pressure points and how to use properly. It's has good as the one I use at physical therapy bur for a lot les money. I highly recommend!

If you ever get those knots in the muscles of your back just below, the scapula are along the muscles themselves from the vertebra. This is an ideal device follow the directions, applying gentle pressure and you will be amazed at how quickly the muscle tension and the knots resolve themselves and pain is no more

I have had this really bad knot in my shoulder for monthsAnd this is a really great tool that has helped me way more than I thought it would
