Body Back Buddy Jr. and the BBB-Mini Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before you get this pack, be sure that you know what size you want. The back buddy comes in a few sizes, and these are the two smallest. The mini back buddy is actually more handy than the other part in the set for me, as the larger one of the set is the small of the real back buddy tools,the back buddy jr., and is meant for thinner or smaller people. Still pretty good, but if you are a larger man, I'd suggest getting one of the larger models, or the Theracane, whichever is cheaper, as they both do the same thing, allow you to reach trigger points for yourself, instead of waiting for a therapist, or begging your significant other.

Body Back Buddy Jr.: The Best Self Massage Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In December and January, I played Wii tennis, bowling, boxing; did Zumba and yoga planks and push ups.As a result, my shoulder blade has been "killing me."I have been going to the Chiropractic for 3 months and my shoulder blade is still killing me.After using the knobble to resolve soreness in my calves, I decided to purchase this device.It is addictive.You hold the thing and just push on sore spots.It takes trial and error, not a book, to figure out how to do it, but go to Youtube if you want a beginning point.Anyway, I sit on the sofa and just press sore spots.The next day, I put some ice and then heat on them.I have felt the best I have felt in months.Chiropractic care has been a JOKE for me.If I had this thing at the beginning of the pain, the soreness would likely have disappeared in a couple of treatments.In any case, get this thing.Ways I use it:

1. Shoulder blade - place the top of the knobber on the right shoulder area and move the knobber to the left shoulder blade; if you want to work the right shoulder blade, place the top of the knobber on the left shoulder

2. Hips - move the top of the knobber to your hips and hold horizontally and just find the spot of pain

3. Collar bone area - hold the skinny handle stick at the top of knobber to the collar bone area and press the soreness

4. Ribs - hold the knobber horizontally and place the little nobules on the rib area and move across

5. Calves - place your leg in the smaller looped end and just press your calves against the small knob at the end of the knobber

These are just examples.The key is to press the soreness about 10 seconds, press again for about 10 seconds and then give it a rest.You can always come back later to relieve some more sorness.Then, stretch the area.

If you are really sore, like I was, it may take some days but with the application of heat and continual use, you will feel better.It has been 2 days and I am already getting excited about the prospect of Wii-ing again.

Update: I bought the regular sized one and it is MUCH MUCH BETTER.The junior has such a small end that I had to pull harder and was hurting my arm in the process.The regular sized one has two big ends so torquing is easy.Also, the big one has pointed ends that allow you to melt the knots.The junior only has circular ends that press the knots but often they don't just give in to pressure.I recommend the regular sized one over the junior.

Body Back Company Mini Back Roller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For its portability (i.e. size), it's pretty indispensable. It's smaller than a couple of tennis balls, so can easily fit in any overnight bag. Take it on trips and you'll always have a bit of relief available to you if back pains start up. You can't take your larger stay-at-home back devices, but you can take this. It doesn't work as well as the larger devices, but is definitely better than nothing, especially when you're away from home and desperate. I'm usually able to get a few cracks with it for a bit less relief than at home, but relief, nonetheless.

The thing is that, being wood, it's awfully uncomfortable. I've read that discomfort with similar devices often goes away after the first few uses, but it hasn't for me with this device. It's about as comfortable as lying on sculpted wood sounds. A similar product, the popular DaVinci Tool, is flexible and comes in hard and soft forms and sounds like a more comfortable device for achieving a similar result at a similar size. It's a bit more expensive, but I'm thinking of buying one eventually and kind of wish that I had in the first place. So, while this device does the job and is a good size at a good price, you may want to consider paying a bit more for a device that you'll be more "comfortable" with, pun intended. If you don't mind compromising comfort for price, though, this'll do ok.

3 Body Back Buddy's: The Best Self Massage Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this for a few years, it freaks people out when they see it, but after they try it, most people won't put it down. i use it to hit the knots with precision and deep tissue strength in my upper back.
it works great if you like really deep tissue massages. but the strength is all up to you since you're the one exerting the effort. but one trick i do is hook the lower loop under my leg and use the weight of my leg to press the opposite end of the massager into my upper back. this gets maximum pressure with the least amount of effort from your arms.
i have an older model, which has gotten a little more flexible in the middle over the years, which i think is not a good thing, but the new model is very rigid plastic (my friend got one) and seems more robust.

Product Description:
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.

Davinci Tool, Firm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So your wondering if this piece of rubber is worth the money? Well it depends what's wrong with you. There is no substitute for a good chiropractor, but if you cannot afford one/have been let down before like I have by others, this product might be a shadowy glimmer of hope for you. This product should not be intended to be used more than once a day, and should only be used as an alignment tool only as necessary. With that being said. For those of use that have alignment problems caused by stress that leads to short tense muscle pulling out vertebra out of whack this might be the solution your looking for.

What causes short tense muscle and do I have it?

Stress, as you hear on TV takes it's toll on our bodies, especially extended periods of high stress. Naturally, when stressed our bodies get in that fight/flight mode that never seems to go away which in theory leads to teeth grinding (instinctively clenching our teeth for protection against a brutal attack), clenching our fists and muscles we don't even know we're using (especially the back). Again, I am no doctor although I have had years of personal experience in this department, but if you find yourself arching your back and/or self adjusting ("popping") your back, this could remotely be a possibility for you. In this case, professionally and personally adjusting your back all the time could aggravate the situation and lose that stiffness our backs need to stay in place (since cracking our backs is NOT natural).

It should also be noted that sitting, overdeveloping muscles, or being in certain contorted stances/positions may also lead to short muscle development. (All of which I have done)

What does this product do?

For me, I use this product to penetrate deep stiff muscles in my back with contribute to my upper back problems. This product is no joyride and for me is extremely painful, but I find this tool to be extremely effective in loosening my tight stiff muscles in the back. Short muscle is never good. That is why it is recommended that you stretch before you run, lift weights, or perform yoga to relieve stress (stress = short muscle remember?). Yoga is the safest and most widely accepted form of stress relief for which there is no substitute, but there are deep spots in our bodies (like for me in between my left shoulder blade and spine) that yoga is ineffective. This tool digs it's way in there and stretches those "trigger points" or short muscle and not only relieves the pain after a short period of agony, but also helps nurture the spine to go where it's supposed to winning that tug of war battle between short muscle and the natural position of our bodies.

Final thoughts:

If you have already consulted a doctor, ask that specialist if this product is right for you. Adjusting your back too often will cause more problems than you started out with, and the primary use of this product is for trigger point and short muscle stretching and releasing. As with everything common sense dictates this tools effectiveness, and for me it's worth is considerable.

AccuMassage and Body Back Buddy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this combo because it was cheaper than getting both separately.I find that to be true for many of the items sold from Body Back Company. So if you are interested in a couple of items, I would encourage you to search for bundles.Anyways, the BBB is a great tool, but I won't elaborate on it here (see my other reviews for a review of that item).

The accumassager is great for what it does, but somewhat limited in scope.I found that its primarily useful for the neck and shoulders.The two golf-ball like attachments are actually made of a soft rubber, which is good because it grips your muscles relatively well and feels better than a hard point of contact.They are also adjustable so you can move them along the device depending on what you want to target (i.e., closer together for neck and further apart for shoulder or legs).The limitation, as you can probably imagine, is that it is primarily designed to be a squeezing/kneading device.I would recommend this if you have neck/shoulder tension that can be relieved with a straightforward squeezing and limited kneading motion.Having said that, you can definitely get a lot of leverage with the device so you get a deep knead with not too much effort.

Thera Cane Massager Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Buy this odd-looking, yet extremely handy device if you have a hard-to-reach spot that needs constant attention. Especially useful for the back or if you need to apply a good amount of pressure on spots such as the bottom of the foot. Things I like best about it include:

-it's lightweight
-handles positioned so you can keep pressure on a spot while rubbing
-is in the shape of a "hook" so virtually no spot is out of reach

Intended for those who need to regularly massage out tense areas in the muscles, it's a very useful tool- and cheaper than therapy! Also recommend Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis if you suffer from chronic back pain.
