I wanted to wait for about a month after purchasing it before writing a review so I could give a better opinion. Alone, it is a great product - but when combined with a good book on Trigger Point Therapy and a good Trigger Point Chart (the little one it comes with is pretty worthless), the results are life-changing! I had an L4 laminectomy in 2004. It was a very bad rupture and I was left with chronic pain and neuropathy, sciatica, etc. all these years. I have several areas of disc degeneration going on and scoliosis. The Dr.'s were of no help so I have always sought instead natural remedies like stretching, massage and chiropractic care and have spent untold thousands of dollars over the years. The longest I could get by without my Chiropractor was two weeks. I have not been to the Chiropractor in over a month now and don't really feel like I need to go yet. Normally, my muscles would be screaming for a massage right now since it's been over a month but they are just fine. Before using the "Buddy", my entire body would just hurt like I had Fibromyalgia or something. I had the good fortune to observe a Physical Therapy session on my granddaughter where the PT was testing her muscles to find the weaknesses. A light bulb came on for me and I started researching. First, I read the book (there are many available on desertcart) so I was able to understand the concept of Trigger Point Therapy better. Then I got to work on my Trigger points - both the major ones as well as many, "satellite" Trigger Points which had developed over the years all over my body. In addition, I used a tennis ball against a post to "roll" some of by back muscles and lateral muscles. Honestly, it hurt like heck for about three weeks and I almost gave up but I stuck with it and soon the pain was gone! I can lay my foot flatter on the floor and the muscles in that leg are now activated and supporting my back the way they should (my right leg and foot were hosed up from the ruptured disc). Blood flow has improved and the numbness is gone on the right side of my foot. When you release the Trigger Points, the muscles can relax and lengthen which allows you to then exercise and strengthen them. I will always have to be careful with and work on, my back. It is not magically "healed". But hopefully it will continue to improve as time goes on. Most body work revolves around relaxing the Trigger Points but professionals do not share this information with us and unless you go see them every couple days, those Trigger Points will not always go away. You have to work on them every day for a couple or few weeks to really get rid of them and enjoy the benefits (no pain!). I am ecstatic - no one can understand how limiting chronic pain can be and what it does to the spirit until they have experienced it for themselves. I am so happy to share this information with you and if even one person benefits the way I have after reading this, then it has been well worth my time to write this review. Knowledge is power people! Good luck to you - Review: Sturdy, effective muscle relief - This thing is sturdy, as advertised, definitely don't feel like this would bend or break even with strenuous use, it's fiberglass so that's expected. It's light enough to use with ease and built in such a way that it's pretty intuitive to use. I got the "Elite" model which has numbered knobs and comes with a rather large poster style chart on which knobs are effective for various areas of the body which was super helpful as a newcomer to using one of these devices. The device itself is shaped so it gets right to the problem area almost scary accurately. First thing I used this on was my shoulder blade and it hugged right into that spot perfectly with zero effort. Slight pressure to the cane really digs into the exact spot you want and relief to your kotted muscles soon follows. I quickly tried this on a variety of other muscle groups and it works wonders. I wouldn't necessarily call this a massager since it's not designed to roll across the skin but rather apply acute pressure to specific spots. If you suffer from chronic pain or have need for muscle relief, this is an excellent tool. Highly recommend. ## Features - Clinical Therapeutic Massager for Pain: Engineered as a high-precision neck massager, the FSA / HSA Eligible Body Back Buddy Elite is a dedicated trigger point cane designed to interrupt the pain-spasm cycle. This therapeutic instrument applies ischemic pressure to hyper-irritable muscle fibers, providing targeted neck and shoulder pain relief and aiding in the professional management of chronic back pain. - CLASSIC OR ELITE? Both models are the same size and provide the same effective deep tissue massage. Elite features a comfort grip handle and numbered massage knobs that correspond with the included therapy poster. So you can instantly match any pain point to a specific numbered knob. - Medical-Grade Muscle Knot Remover: Featuring 11 strategically positioned therapy nodes, this back massager for pain relief deep tissue acts as a professional muscle knot release tool. Its ergonomic S-shape provides the mechanical leverage required to treat deep-seated tension where standard massage tools & equipment fail, making it an essential shoulder massager for pain relief deep tissue. - Physical Therapy & Myofascial Instrument: Designed specifically for self-administered myofascial release, this massage cane hook serves as a vital physical therapy tool for home-based clinical recovery. It is a non-invasive solution for the mitigation of symptoms associated with musculoskeletal conditions, acting as a professional fascia massage tool to restore patient mobility. - High-Strength, BPA-Free Construction: Made in the USA from medical-grade, hypoallergenic materials, this hand held FSA / HSA Eligible massager is lab-tested for intense deep tissue massage and long-term durability. The reinforced, fiber-infused construction ensures the back hook massage tool maintains structural integrity under pressure, offering a safe, reliable muscle recovery tool. - Directed Lower Back & Shoulder Therapy: Use this therapeutic massage stick as a neck pressure point reliever or a lower back massager for pain relief deep tissue.

I am post op cervical fusion and this relieves my upper trap and shoulder blad trigger points, along with the occipitals.
