Customer Reviews of Body Back Buddy
Customer Review: I Only Wish I Had One Of My Own
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Body Back Buddy for my Mom but before I gave it to her I used it for a couple of weeks. Man, I loved this thing. I have a spot under my right shoulder-blade that bothers me something fierce. It feels like it's on fire. My Chiropractor can't fix it and my wife, although she makes it feel much better, doesn't not have the power to press the spot as hard as it needs. The Back Body however gets the spot really well. Nice design, simple to use and very little strength is needed to make it work. This will definitely be going on my Christmas list.
Oh, and one more thing. One reviewer said this was made of cheap plastic. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I put tons of pressure on this unit and there is no way anyone could break it. It flexes ever-so slightly but I think that's a good thing.
Customer Review: big surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine turned me onto these. Saw it in his house and thought it was some kind of torture device. Once he explained how it worked though, and I was able to use it, I was sold.
I workout a lot and often have stiffness in my back. I get massages on a regular basis, but sometimes I need something NOW! Got one of these things and it helps me out considerably. For me, not as good as a professional, but it keeps me pain-free (more or less) until I can get on the table of my therapist.
The one downside to this product is the size. It's not portable, so if you want one for more than a single location, you'll probably need to buy more than one. I need one for my office, which is what lead me to look here. This is a good price, by the way.
Customer Review: It works perfectly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even after my grown son had recommended it to me, I was a sceptic about this product . I have severe muscle spasms which require deep tissue massage on a regular basis and steroid-cortisone shots at times. The BBB works so well I can visit the massage therapist much less frequently and stay "on top" of my pain as well.
The design allows the user to control the pressure and hit the trigger points and sore spots very easily. I also have problems with arthritis in my wrists, but this sturdy device allows me to leverage it for maximum pressure with no difficulty. Sitting in a car can be particularly painful to me, but using this during car rides has helped me immeasurably.
I can't say enough about this heaven-sent product. I LOVE it!!!!!
Customer Review: Great tool for self massage!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely great tool for massaging one's own "trigger points" or knotted muscles.
The "thera-cane" is recommended by many trigger point practitioners, and this is even better in my opinion. It has more options and you can reach virtually any point of your body with this thing and dig into your muscles to help release the trigger points that cause pain.
This thing works, and it's great. Especially if you already know where your trigger points are. If not, I recommend the book by Clair Davies, sold here, the title is something like The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook.
Anyway, this is a great tool. Overpriced, but you really can't get anything like this anywhere else for cheaper, so.... go for it!
Customer Review: It reaches the spot
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been imagining having something like this for some time, it does reach those unreachable spots very nicely. I am finding it to be like exercise equipment though, it sits on the sideline unused a lot..though it does work, and help a lot when I use it!
I bought this one instead of the other brand because it had the extra curve and extra bumps, but I don't think I'll ever use the extra ones because they are so sharply pointed. The rounded end is good enough for me. I'm even thinking a softer/padded add on might be a good option for some people??
I'm sure I'll be using this more as I get used to how to use it. It's a good product for pressure points/ trigger points/ foot reflexology, don't expect a "gentle massage" feeling.
