Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This is more versitile than it looks. It seems strong enough to sustain reasonable pressure while still being flexible. The points of contact are basic in adjustment options (three choices on each side for each ball). They are much like solid, rubber-like golf balls. After many severe injuries (a long list that includes permanent damage), I have purchased this and many other products over time with the hope for some relief.
Of everything I have found, this item is not only portable but seems to give the quickest and easiest relief to the ever-so-hard-to-please neck and shoulder areas. In addition, you don't have to lay down to use it. I, personally, think that's a very big deal. These areas have been my focus in utilizing this tool. I understand that it may be effective on other areas of the body as well.
The day after receiving this item with a few others (in my usage, it and the Body Back Buddy being those applicable to the muscles in the upper areas), I went to my chiropractor (as is frequent) and she said there was an "amazing" difference in upper back and neck muscles at that time - no huge swelling or really nasty, extrememly painful knots as always, and a backside upper rib that was very recently out was "co-operating." She seemed shocked. She said said it felt like putty up there (truly almost unbelievable for me). She asked what I did (and in one night) to achieve those results. I brought this in to my appointment this morning (and mentioned the Body Back Buddy, which she was already aware of) and she said that she was going to order an AccuMassage today.
It took some patience and a lot of that evening to get used to the ways it can be used, the differences in angles, placements and pressure and such. I did not want to risk over-doing it, so I kept coming back to it frequently and carefully throughout the entire evening. It was quite an investment to get that degree of relief the night I received it (but the sleep alone was worth every minute). I believe that the Body Back Buddy has been great in combination with this, as that tool has specific points it works on, whereas this instrument is more of a focused area manipulation that seems to work exceptionally well (when the most beneficial specific placements are found). For that reason (the combination), I will do four stars as it had some help from the BBB in breaking up some major and specific pressure point problems to begin with.
