Customer Reviews of Thera Cane Massager
Customer Review: A useful tool for self-help of myofascial pain
Summary: 5 Stars
As others have already noted, the Thera Cane is a simple bar which is easy to hold - in various ways - such that you can place pressure on specific points of your back, neck, shoulders, etc. in a manner which feels almost organic, yet would otherwise be extremely difficult to reach without such a device.
It's a well-designed shape; the included manual provides solid suggestions for how to hold the cane for optimal contact with different areas of your body. After getting the gist of what the manual tries to impart, I've essentially let my hands and the cane find what works best for reaching and pressing out my pain areas.
In addition to using one arm as a pivot and the other to pull/push on the cane as a lever, it's also quite easy to reach most of my trigger points - upper to mid back - by leaning backwards onto the Thera Cane while it's pinned against my seatback at the computer. In the latter case, my arms don't need to work much - only stabilize the cane as my upper body weight (while sitting back) provides all the force needed to work a trigger point or similar area.
** It's not a miracle cure ** I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome and see a Physical Therapist regularly, among other things to treat the overall condition.
However, the Thera Cane has actually given me a self-help capability which has provided a few important things since falling into chronic myofascial pain:
1. I can often work my trigger points between therapy sessions in such a way that reliance on prescribed drugs (e.g., muscle relaxers, NSAIDs, etc.) has been cut noticeably. I usually work the cane before taking any drugs when myofascial pain flares up, and often end up with enough lessening of the pain to continue on with my activities.
2. It allows me to easily identify locations of new or still-prominent trigger points for when I next see my Physical Therapist or MD.
3. Unexpectedly, I have more confidence in being able to manage this condition than before using the Thera Cane. Stretching, exercise, etc. all help, but they each have their uses and limits. This simply adds to your stock of what you can do to help yourself.
I take the cane with me to homes of friends and relatives during regular visits - to work in a quiet place, as necessary. It's never been a bother or seemed weird to those folks, especially since they know I'm simply trying to get beyond - and, at least cope - with this syndrome.
Best $29 I've spent in years.
[ meta-comment to Amazon: I've seen a good number of helpful reviews here and most are being rated as Not Helpful to a surprising degree - makes no sense to me ]
Description of Thera Cane Massager
Thera Cane self-massage device uniquely designed to apply pressure to sore muscles.Ease your aches and pains without hiring a professional masseuse with the TheraCane massager. The simple yet effective self-massager makes it easy to apply pain-relieving deep compression directly to hard, knotted trigger points anywhere they occur, breaking up tension even in the hardest-to-reach muscle areas. The TheraCane works by adding pressure to the muscles, which helps maximize the flow of oxygenated blood. This pressure aids in restoring muscle function by breaking up adhesions in muscle fibers and tensions, thus making the muscle work more efficiently. It's the perfect tonic for a recurring injury, a long day on the job, or an active afternoon in the garden. The TheraCane, which comes in hunter green, measures 24 by 15 by 1 inches (W x H x D), weighs 2 pounds, and carries a two-year limited warranty.
