Editorial Reviews
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.

What A Wonderful Purchase! - Ronald June "Running on Sep 11, 2010

I purchased the Body Back Buddy Trigger Point Massager about a month ago as my lower, mid & upper back was stiff from running, as well-my piriformis was aggrevating. I am preparing to run the St. George Marathon in afew weeks and I just did not have the finances at the moment to get a massage like I generally do. I did various back, glute and piriformis stretches and self-massages in addition to my regular running stretches but I still felt the aggrevation especially as I increased my running miles. After I received the Body Back Buddy Trigger Point Massager--WOW! I was able to fully reach the various trigger points in the glutes, piriformis and along the back areas from the lower back to the upper back areas and the shoulders and neck areas with ease. Even though I did various stretches for the piriformis and back prior to getting the Body Back Buddy Trigger Point Massager I did not really look forward to doing the stretches but with Body Back Buddy Trigger Point Massager I massaged the trigger points easily and quickly and did not have to wait until post run to stretch, I was able to massage at work during down time as well as at home. I feel ready to run the St. George Marathon. RJ

Incredible! - N. Gutierrez on Jan 30, 2010

Personally I've never seen something like this that was actually effective! I love this because it gets that knot next to my shoulder blade perfectly. I got both, I think I like the blue one best because it has pointy edges and it is easy to use. Though I borrowed someone's dvd on the instructions on the green one and it (though an incredibly old film) really gave me the best angles for the everything the green cane can do. If you don't read the booklet that comes with it or watch the video you won't even get half of the use out of it. It is fantastic. I highly recommend.

Where Have This Gadget Been All My Life?.... - DrakoPeyton on Oct 5, 2011

I have read the reviews and was kinda still hesitant to buy it. I injured my back at work so I have been having problems with spasms. I have gone to many massage therapists but I cannot find someone who really is a "real massage therapist". My experience with them is unsatisfactory at best they tend to use their elbows and other paraphernalias rather than hands. So with not much else of a choice I bought this one. And I have never been so happy to have this thing massaging myself on the spot where I want it. Good item and very much more satisfying than any massage therapists. So instead of paying someone 60/hr I now rely on this and I have never been happier and spasms free...

I Got Your Back, Buddy - Simmer "itsme0209" on Jul 17, 2011

I love this thing. I hit the gym a lot and constantly have knots because of it.

But really dont have much time to constantly go to a massage therapist.

This thing is just perfect for someone in a similar situation.

I'd say it would probably still be a good idea to eventually make your way to a professional, but this is great for in betweens.

Reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the picture I viewed when I purchased this thing made it look bigger.

Could have just been the angle. I am a pretty tall dude and wish there was a back buddy a little larger in size.

It would make maneuvering this thing a lot easier. But overall, the product still works great and I highly recommend!!!


This Thing Is Awesome! - Charlie03 "Charlie" on Feb 13, 2011

As the title states, this thing is awesome! It can't get any better. The round ball type ends are to mimic a thumb & the pointier ends are to mimic an elbow. I prefer the pointier end. It really helps release the tight muscles between the shoulder blades.

Great Product, But I Still Prefer The Backknobber - New Books Online on Dec 5, 2011

This is a great product. Delivery was punctual. I owned a Backknobber2 in the past but gave it to a friend as she needed it desperately. I still prefer the Backknobber over this one.

Back Buddy - DJ on Oct 17, 2011

This item does get all your pressure points that you cannot reach. It looks a little "weird" but it does the job.
I wish the instruction book was a little more helpful.

In Love - Jessi on Jun 20, 2011

I have been struggling with trigger point pain for over 6 months now and am so happy a friend found this for me. I always had to wait for my boyfriend to get home to press on them for relief or dig my back into a corner of a wall, but now I can give myself relief, daily. I'm more than happy with this product and my back is as well.

Aaaah Such Simple Well Thought Out Relief - mat8 on Dec 30, 2010

The S shape allows you to get leverage to really work those sore spots. The handles are placed right where you need them to help work it in. The nubs are also well placed to allow you to work them into places like the back of your neck.

My wife won't go anywhere with out this.

Hits The Spot! - ssik on Dec 7, 2010

Hits the Spot!
Great quality, very pleased!
Fast shipping.
Buy this odd-looking, yet extremely handy device if you have a hard-to-reach spot that needs attention. Especially useful for the back. for those who need to regularly massage out tense areas in the muscles, it's a very useful tool- and cheaper than therapy!

Easy To Use And Effective - B. Balderston on May 19, 2011

My daughter recommended this product to me. She was very happy with her purchase. She spends alot of time on the computer at work, so this massager comes in handy for those hard to reach back and shoulder muscles. It's very easy to use, you can apply as much or as little pressure as needed, and it targets the exact muscles in need of soothing. It reminds me more of accupressure than a massager, as the knobs are small in diameter, but I imagine that you could also cut a hole in a tennis ball & put it on a knob to widen the massage surface area.
