LittleMum Trapezius Trigger Point Massager for Neck, Shoulder & Upper Back

I’m totally amazed at how quickly this helped my neck and shoulders. I’ve suffered for years with the dreaded menopausal frozen shoulder and awful neck pain as well. Have tried a ridiculous number of pillows that haven’t helped at all. Even have upgraded my mattress and got an adjustable bed frame. This thing?? Wow! After the first use, I could immediately tell a difference. Used it twice the first day, and slept with much less pain that night. I’m already impressed. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to turn my head without pain I can’t even remember when didn’t hurt. I’m not cured, but after two days I’m definitely feeling better. I’ll 100% say it’s made a much bigger difference than professional massage therapy or acupuncture ever has. Now the bad part…it hurts like a mother trucker!! I am positive it will get easier and less painful with use, but it’s most definitely uncomfortable. But with the immediate results I’ve already had I can say it’s absolutely worth it. It’s worth the pain, and the money. You know how sometimes you wish you could have somebody stretch that muscle right at the base of your skull? Yeah, it hits that perfectly! My husband tried it and didn’t like it at all, didn’t last a minute on it. He said it was too uncomfortable and he couldn’t see how something that caused pain could be worth it. I’ll just say after walking around with the chronic pain I’ve had for years I’m ready to try almost anything, and this thing has me feeling optimistic! So I give it five stars! It’s well made, very sturdy, stable and heavy. Just know that if you are already suffering with pain it’s definitely not going to be comfortable from the get go, but probably worth it in the long term. I’m confident it’s helping me anyway. Maybe I’ll update after a month.

Fantastic, superb, mind-blowing, invigorating, enlivening, TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE! To try to describe why isn't easy, but it wakes things up and brings them on board, it allows me to put the most remarkable kind of shiatsu pressure on spots and at angles that are worth dozens of shiatsu sessions to be able to do myself, whenever I feel like it. I have lots of devices, they each do different things. I only need this to do what it does - which is something absolutely superb and wonderful. There seem to be knock-offs, I would order them to try but the time and energy to return them makes the experiment pointless. I just know that this thing is primo, non plus ultra, the level I call "most amazing". Better than going to a fancy restaurant including wine. Subjectively, this is a really, really fantastic experience. I'm surprised such things are available - I mean the experience - at this price. By the way, you'll have to experiment. And mileage may vary - this device is perfect for some things I was trying to do but couldn't figure out how to do at the right angle with the right pressure. I don't know where you're at or what your body is needing at this point. I've gotten a lot of these kinds of things just now. Kind of eenie-meenie-miney mo - some new ones arrived today. But out of the bunch, this is one of the keepers. Really, really helpful in ways I can't properly articulate here. Very worth getting. I think I just realized that it may be this thing that's allowing me to sleep so much more deeply and completely the last few days. This thing is actually magnificent. But they should call it "The Lobster" because of the way it looks. Ahh - you know what? Even if the knock-offs were as good, and I bet they aren't - the material this is made out of is PERRRRRFECT for what this thing does. Why fiddle with that? And it's kind of offensive that others just copied it that completely. I don't really trust a company that operates like that to do the right things where it matters. Pretty crazy how great this thing is, especially as you continue to use it and your body begins to crave it in particular ways. You can use your legs to lift your body so the pressure is applied to different areas in different ways, and in some spots practically stand your body up to put a lot of pressure on particular spots. But the exact consistency of this material is perfect, so I wouldn't really want to try a knock-off at this point. Yeah, very positive review on this thing.

If you have neck/trapezoid /back/shoulder problems I cannot recommend this enough! I know it is pricey, but it works!! I had a frozen shoulder 3 plus years ago, and still to this day can have my trap area literally click and lock up when I overwork myself. This device has saved me!! Whenever I get sore , which is often, this breaks up the knots in the tissues and immediately puts me back on track without further damage accumulating. At first it hurts. It is very HEAVY and dense, but this is also why I think it works as effectively as it does. It is Made super well and the trigger points dig deep in to your tissues. If it hurts too much at first, lay on your bed and use it and it will softe. It up but be effective. I’m telling you after you do use it, it’s a game changer! I always feels like a new person put back together again. Over time the “hurt” becomes a hurts so good type of feel and it isn’t as intense. So keep at it, if you found it too much at first. I just breathed through it but then after a few minutes when I stood up I realized how much better I felt! I even had lower back pain the other day from leaning over my sink while bathing multiple pets, I used it mostly where you are suppose to at the top part of my neck and back and the. rearranged it and also got in some areas on my lower back. While it isn’t designed for that it still worked! All fascia is connected too, but it took care of and saved me from rushing off to the chiropractor! It is worth its weight in gold in saving you from chiropractor appointments, and a whole lot of pain!!

First off, there are numerous fakes out there made of poor quality that are getting poor reviews, this one is the real deal. Don’t buy the cheap fake ones, from what I understand, the material isn’t hard enough to work properly. The quality is excellent, and it’s clear that this company put a lot of effort making this. The material is solid, and the density helps a lot when trying to hit specific points on your back. I use it frequently, and it has helped with neck and upper back pain. I would definitely recommend this product. The only negatives I can think of is there are 2 smaller points towards the upper back that don’t really touch when I lay on it the way they recommend. I have to make adjustments, but when I find the right spot I can really push hard on problem areas. The second is the price. The quality truly is great, but it is a tad expensive.

I suffer from an assortment of issues (including occipital neuralgia) that cause great pain and tension in my shoulders, upper back and neck, and I have all sorts of tools and gizmos to help me help myself. I have found that most mechanical things wear out too quickly, especially considering the amount of pressure it requires to find relief sometimes, so this time I wanted something manual so I got to searching. I found this and thought it was a bit pricey so I looked at all the different versions and knockoffs available, paying close attention to specs and reading all of the reviews before deciding to buy this one. I knew from the reviews that it was possible I wouldn’t be shaped right for this to be properly suited for me but decided it was worth the risk. I pay this much for professional massages when I’m able to and there have been times I left the table unsatisfied, so I figured this was worth the money however it turned out. I am so thankful that I did because this thing is incredible! At first it was painful, but once I got the placement figured out it was a much better kind of painful, the kind that I was desperate to feel! I spent less than 10 minutes with it, as I know I need to work my way up, and I did move around on it a good bit and found some really good spots. After that I used my thera cane on some shoulder spots where it didn’t quite get and did some light stretching. That gave me SO MUCH RELIEF!!!! I can’t even believe it.

I wanted this to work. I’ve got ongoing thoracic/back issues earned over a 46-year audition for the lead in Hunchback of Notre Dame. By the end of most days, I’m crawling to the couch before the good shows even come on. I don’t take pain meds, so tools like this aren’t optional—but finding a good one feels like a full time job. This thing isn’t cheap, but if you deal with chronic back pain, you already know: if something works, price stops being part of the conversation. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me. The core issue is fit and targeting. The design uses fixed-position pressure nodes (those rounded “bumps” on the frame) that are supposed to line up with trigger points around the shoulder blades and upper spine. In theory, it’s perfect. In practice, I could never get those nodes to land where I actually needed pressure. I would burn with fire any pictures that exist of me contorting my body to hit "my spots" but, for me, the contact points were always just… off. Close enough to tickle it, but I need that sucker dug in there, hitting the knot. It felt like trying to scratch an itch through a parka. I think I can chalk this up to shape. I am a totally normally shaped guy, I just didn't draw the right straw for this, and nothing is really adjustable. If your shoulder width, spine curvature, and muscle placement happen to match how this is molded, I can absolutely see why some people love it. There are plenty of positive reviews, and I believe them. I really hope this is your miracle and it helps free you of pain and helps you feel great while doing the things you want to do. I’m just not built like whoever they used as the template. Your mileage may vary.

I’m qualified to write this review because I went to school for massage therapy and I used to run lots of marathons. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars on massage tools and massages. Learn from my mistakes. In my experience, LittleMum makes the absolute best (and most expensive) massage tools. And just so you know I’m being genuine, pso-rite is my second favorite brand, but it is a distant second. This product is substantial and heavy, the moment you take it out of the Amazon box you know it’s different. The silicone is so smooth, yet sticky similar to skin. This means you can use it on clothed or naked skin, whereas other massagers you need to be careful of scratches from the rough edges of injection molding with plastic. My favorite feature of this particular one is the y shape. You can spread the “arms” however you want, and they stay in place on most surfaces because the weight and texture. This lets you make a variety of shapes for getting the spot(s) you need but can’t reach with anything else. Personally, I love to use it for getting underneath my shoulder blade. Finally, it’s expensive. I anguished over spending this much on something I never tried before. I’m cheap. At the end of the day, it did what I wanted and more. So just buy it, lie on top of it, and get down to business. Your back will thank me.

Yes, I call this thing my lobster. It's red and it looks just like one. But you're not here to read my pet names on products. I was skeptical given the reviews but I have to say, THIS WAS THE BEST INVESTMENT I COULD EVER MAKE! I have suffered from shoulder/neck pain for the past year +. I've seen a chiropractor (multiple times) and that didn't put a dent in my issue. I can't afford the luxury of a massage every week or even every other week and I was running out of options. Not able to turn my head from side to side, and overall my range of motion was extremely limited. I decided to give this red beast a try and WOW! Yes, it does take some adjusting to get the "nodes" to hit your muscles and pressure points just right. And yes, you actually have to do some work! You can't just lay there expecting magic to happen. After 10 minutes and a heck of a lot of "it hurts so good" moaning, I got up, and sweet Jesus I had range of motion again! I may have looked odd on this thing, rotating my arms like a kid pretending to be an airplane but man, it works! I laid back on my lobster friend a couple of days later and I was still so sensitive I had to wait a full week after my first use. It was as if my back had undergone punishment and torture by a Swedish masseuse. After only 5 airplane trips with Lobster, the knots in my shoulder are nearly gone. GONE. I have had those angry knots follow me around like unwanted baggage! I now make laying on this rock lobster a weekly occurrence and couldn't be happier. My words of advice, actually WATCH their YouTube video on how to use it. Don't be afraid to move around and adjust it as needed. No, it's not a perfect fit, but damn for the low cost and no pain, I'm willing to wiggle a bit. Now get crackin', don't be shellfish!

World better than I thought it would. Very pleased with the product. I just have to start using it more.

This is a solid device with serious weight. I was surprised how heavy it was. I use it from time to time and it does help loosen the tightness and break down the tension. I do suggest that you follow the directions exactly. Work slowly with it. I have read some reviews on being too small or too big for body size. I cannot attest to that but for reference I am 5'7". Also beware of counterfeit items that "look" like this, they are not the same. Be sure you are ordering from this seller. I recommend this product.

I've only had it for 3 days and used it every day for 5-10 minutes. It is hard and it hurts a bit but in the long run, if it works, it will have been worth it.

I have purchased this item twice for different parts of my body. There are many similar products available, but this is the original and true brand. If you have any problems with your body, such as pain or discomfort, you should try this product! It’ll change your life!!!

This is a really simple device which unlike complicated electronic massagers can be used alone, without power and without worrying too much that you're doing it wrong. It's less versatile than a gun style massager for example, but it's advantages make it a very viable alternative. Using it is really easy, and doesn't require any special training. Once you have it in position your own body weight will do the job. I found it did a great job of relieving muscle tension. I hadn't tried this kind of acupressure in the past and I was very surprised and impressed by the results. I have a number of massage tools and I thought this one did just as well as the rest without the hassle of moving parts and batteries etc. It's also similar in price, which seems odd as it's essentially just a piece of moulded plastic, but the design is clearly good, and the material is clearly robust enough to create the required effect, and to last many years, but also soft enough to lie on without causing pain. Overall, this is a surprisingly effective device which has been effective in reducing pain and tightness in my back muscles, and I would definitely recommend it.
