Features
- The Original Trigger Point Tool - Trigger points are tight, tender, contracted muscle fibers, which cause pain. Using a FSA eligible Body Back Buddy to apply sustained pressure to a trigger point can interrupt the pain-spasm cycle. When you release the pressure, you will feel the muscle relax as fresh oxygenated blood flows in.
- 2 Hooks Are Better Than 1- The 2 hooks and 11 knobs (in 3 different shapes) were created to alleviate pain and soreness across the entire body. Unlike single muscle hook designs, the two hooks on the Elite let you apply more leverage to more parts of the body. The 3 different shapes include acorns for deep tissue, round for gliding over larger muscle groups, and nubs for the lower back. Also, the Elite offers 4 non-slip grips to ensure that you never lose control while applying pressure.
- Full Body Pain Relief - Designed to be the only massage tool you need to achieve fast, simple relief for your whole body. More than just a shoulder massager, the Body Back Buddy is built to directly target pressure points throughout the body located in the back, neck, shoulders, legs, feet, and thighs.
- Won't Bend or Break - The sturdy two piece construction is lab tested to be up to 30% stronger than other therapy canes. You can see and feel the difference. Easy, fast assembly. Instructions are printed on the box. Open the box, snap the 2 pieces together and the Buddy is ready to use. A trusted choice among FSA / HSA eligible items, designed to snap together one time and then stay assembled for the life of the product.
- Proudly Made in the USA - Every Body Back Buddy is made in USA TN from materials sustainably sourced in the U.S. Built to last, every Body Back Buddy is backed by a 1-Year Support and qualifies for FSA / HSA purchases. If not completely satisfied, contact our U.S. based support team.

This is the best whole body and back massager evvvvvrrr! I have a graveyard of mediocre massage and accupressure tools...but nothing has ever come close to the effectiveness and ease of use as this. I wish I bought the Body Back Buddy sooner, I could have saved myself a lot of money and aches.... It effortlessly reaches all the places in my neck, shoulders, and back. I love the handles to really maximize being able to use this alone. Its amazing being in control of precise locations and amounts of pressure applied to knots or tense spots where I otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach. This can be used without twisting my body like a contortionist or getting a friend to help me. Its easy enough that my 65+yo parents can use it, and so can my 11yo daughter. I would have used this as a college swimmer/water polo player to alleviate a lot of pain and agony without paying 50 bucks a session. I would highly recommend this for anyone, but especially if you are someone who has gotten relief from expensive deep tissue or acupressure massages. I cant even tell you how many wall corners I have dug my shoulder into in an attempt to relieve the pain shooting into my head....or the elbows I have borrowed from friends to dig into my scapula🤣!! I am sooo happy to finally find this.... I literally apply as much or as little pressure in the perfect spot and I am able to breathe and feel the tension or knots almost melt away. I cannot say enough good stuff about this. Just buy it. Right now!

Why did I wait so long to buy this? The 2 pieces snapped together and I don't see how it can come apart (I tried to pull it apart and couldn't). I immediately used it on my neck/shoulder and I love it! It worked well on my shoulders and relieved pain already. I can't wait to see if I can work out all of my trigger points. I didn't have a manual in my box so I contacted Customer Service to have one sent to me. Then When looking for more directions I found the pdf form of the manual in the Product Details.

Needless to say, this gadget (and it is a gadget... it's the multitool of muscle pain) isn't something you'll necessarily want to take to Vegas with you, as it is pretty big and awkward. But I bought this due to its awesome price vs. a TheraCane or Hi-Push, which is $20 more for much less tool, and it doesn't take up much less space anyway. It's $30, $35 and you get a little version for travel. $30 is a steal for something this versatile. For those in the continental 48, shipping is like, $8... The selling points are these: -- It's $20 cheaper, or 40%, than a TheraCane. -- Two end arcs of varying diameters, allow for hitting back, hip, thigh, and glute trigger points, something the T-Cane will also do, but not as well. -- Two angled handles jutting out of both arcs allow better leverage for holding and applying pressure vs. T-Cane's perpendicular handles. -- Three shapes of knobs allow differing penetration into deeper or less-accessible tissues, such as the sole of the foot, levator scapulae, and semispinalis capitis. These are also distributed differently on the handles as well, whereas the T-Cane has only one size and shape of knob, spherical. -- It's $20 cheaper. Even if it was identical to the T-Cane, I still think $20 cheaper would make this pretty brainless to go for. Considering points before you hit 'Buy': -- Some like the neater look of the T-Cane, which never was a factor in my decision -- if it works, I don't care what it looks like. The T-Cane's slightly smaller size may also allow it into carryon. But the price difference + added function trump both for me. -- This is a tool made for attacking and releasing trigger points you may acquire in service as a massage therapist/bodyworker. If this conflicts with your own methods for self-care, then no need to buy one. But I've on a few occasions found it useful for pointing out homework trigger point work for clients, vs. a tennis ball in a sock (which works great for certain muscles too, make no mistake). I think for the price in the contiguous 48 anyway, it's a no-brainer. Get it... worked out some calf and QL trigger points a couple weeks ago with this, and it worked a charm. Hit your levator scapulae with this once a day, and your head turns far easier, nice when you're doing a bit of driving running errands with extended time entering SOAPs into the computer. :p

I bought the Body Back Buddy Classic today, and I was so impressed I had to leave a review right away. It comes in two pieces that snap together, which actually makes it really easy to handle and store, but once it’s assembled it feels solid and well-built. I wasn’t expecting it to feel this sturdy, especially for something that breaks down like that. I used it right away on some pretty stubborn knots in my back, and it worked better than I expected. It made it easy to reach spots I normally can’t get to on my own, and I was able to really target tight areas instead of just vaguely pressing around. I even used it on my teres minor, which is usually hard to isolate, and it helped loosen things up quickly. After just a few minutes I could feel a real difference in tension. For something I just picked up today, I’m genuinely impressed and already know I’ll be using it regularly.

The Body Back Buddy is by far the best hook massage tool in my collection for a number of reasons. First off, I also own the standard S-Hook as well as the Theracane and from my experience with all three, this one is the winner by a long shot. The S-Hook's main advantage is the ability to take it apart, which makes it very compact for travel purposes. But even still, I like to take the BBB with me unless compact space is absolutely critical. The Thera-Cane's main advantage is its simplicity. It is one-sided and fairly light-weight compared to the BBB. Now for the real review, the Body Back Buddy has many advantages over the above mentioned tools. - 11 knobs in assorted sizes and shapes from small to round to pointy - Large enough to command and control comfortably - Handles are angled for better leverage compared to other tools - Can use on practically every muscle group from abs, chest, shoulders, whole back, quads, hams, feet, neck, etc... - Great conversation starter Summary: When I say I take my BBB with me everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE! It's that awesome! I'm at a computer for 10 hours-a-day almost every day and before I found the BBB, I had a hard time releasing tight muscles and trigger points. Although I did have the S-Hook and Theracane, I found myself not using them as much as I do the BBB. My best guess is that it just wasn't as effective and I quickly got tired of effort required. It's true that you can use your body weight and larger muscle groups to leverage the pressure on the aforementioned tools, but the BBB is just much better at it. I especially love the pointy knobs for really digging into deep trigger points in the back, shoulder and feet. The center knob does a great job of releasing tension in the Multifidus muscles along the spine all the way up to the back of your neck. TIPS: - I highly recommend picking up The Frozen Shoulder Workbook and the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook if you're serious about learning how trigger points affect your body. The combination of the BBB and those books make a highly effective solution if you suffer from musculoskeletal issues. This combination helped me recover from a severe snowboarding accident as well as empower me to help myself AND learn about my body. - There are so many creative ways to use this tool, years later, I still discover new uses! - Try using the handle knobs to get your chest, abdomen areas. I've noticed that people often just ignore the handle knobs, myself included in the beginning. - Breathing is crucial to getting that "release" or "squishing" on trigger points. Try to breathe and massage synergistically, focusing on expanding the area you're working on with the breath.

I think I heard angels singing LOL! This thing is AWESOME...so great that I am not sure there are words! I'd give it way more stars if I could, it is THAT good. I never knew devices like this existed until my physiotherapist was trying to give me ways to manage a spot in my neck and mentioned a plastic hook thing with a ball on the end that they used to sell at her old clinic. On the hunt for that, I stumbled across this much more involved version and the reviews finally convinced me to try it. Such a great decision! It took me a while to figure out how best to use this thing for me, and I am still discovering it's amazing capabilities. But the first time I got it to a spot in my neck that was really tight, and got the angle right....well, I felt it in every cell of my body. The relief was so intense I almost cried...and it is the kind of thing that I didn't really even know was bothering me THAT much. I have since found many spots like that in my neck, upper- mid- and lower back, shoulders, hips. I am finding spots where my body carries stress and tension, and releasing it. You can pick this thing up, find a spot that's talking to you, spend a few seconds releasing it, and get on with your day...and your day is so much better because of it. And if you use it for a few minutes and find a few more spots, so much the better :). I'm in my late 40s, in relatively good shape, and it works great for me. Every time I pick it up, I discover something new. Today I am going to see what it does for my feet :). I took it with me to visit my folks for a few days, and my Dad (early 70s) was complaining about being sore from some work he had done outside. I said "I have just the thing!", and of course we had a good laugh about the bizarre back buddy...but he played with it for 15 minutes or so and he felt so much better. The thing that seems to make it so effective is that there are so many ways to position, hold, and pull on it, that it is easy to find the perfect angle and pressure for each spot. Those rather phallic appendages are very helpful as hand holds, as well as for getting into big muscles and into hips. Don't just imitate the images in the booklet...play with it, alter the angles etc, and find what works for you. Honestly, I figured from the reviews that this thing would help me, but had no idea it would be THIS amazing. It has become an indispensable tool for me, and everyone who tries it (following the shock and laughter) wants one. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

This is an amazing product. When I first brought it home, my mom who is a nurse exclaimed excitedly "Oooooh! You got one of these things! I love this thing!" I guess she had used it before, said she gave one to her sister who had back problems 20 years ago, and a nurse she was working with just last week had one, who loved it and was showing it off. I had no idea my mom would even know what it was when I brought it home. My wife (who I live apart from due to job) got one first and she had been using it every day after being recommended it by a professional full-time massage therapist in town. So I couldn't try it before buying one for myself, I just went off her word. About my experience with it now: I'm a 230lb muscle-bound guy, so before ordering it I was skeptical since it has no moving parts and is just what appears to be either rigid plastic or fiberglass. However I have begun using it every day. I put heavy pressure on it, and while it flexes slightly I have zero worry of it bending or breaking. You can exert the exact pressure you need on a knotted muscle to loosen it up. I have knotted muscles I didn't even realize were knotted. I knew I had a degenerative spinal condition in my neck from when a disk slipped so my muscles began to build up on one side of my neck in response to the loosened ligament. This allows me to put enough pressure on super built-up and tight muscles, to RE-TRAIN them. It has INSTANTLY made a huge difference in the posture of my neck and spine. I can actually locate the specific muscles that have tightened in response to loosen them back up, which allows my neck to be adjusted into it's natural position. At first, loosening up my knotted muscles made them extremely sore for days. But when I kept working at them they get looser and looser into a more natural shape/tightness. It hasn't been that long, but this $35 tool is worth a $500 massage package easily, especially since it can be done in the privacy of your own home for those of you who are introverts like myself, or the many of us who have body-image issues. This is the best $35 I have spent in a long time, and it's the only thing I've been able to use and exert enough pressure with to actually loosen the muscles in my neck. I have tried the electronic neck rollers from the 80's-90's and they never worked. I have tried hand-massages which didn't work. I tried getting it adjusted at chiropractors costing hundreds. I tried $150 muscle stimulation devices. I tried $100 cervical traction pillows. This $35 tool has done what all of those other things combined could not do. I now have a glimmer of hope that my neck condition may not lead to permanent arthritis once the muscles are fully re-trained.
