About this item
- The Original Trigger Point Tool - Trigger points are tight, tender, contracted muscle fibers, which cause pain. Using a 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 Body Back Buddy 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.
- 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 one piece construction is lab tested to be up to 30% stronger than other therapy canes. You can see and feel the difference. No assembly required. Ships to you ready to use out of the box.
- Proudly Made in the USA - Every Body Back Buddy is made in Knoxville, TN from materials sustainably sourced in the U.S. Built to last, every Body Back Buddy is backed by a 1-Year Warranty. If not completely satisfied, contact our U.S. based support team.

Body Back Buddy Massage Tool Product Review
Mr. Zabski
Important information
Indications
Back Pain, frozen shoulder, mouse shoulder, trigger point
Directions
WHAT IS A TRIGGER POINT: Trigger points are tight, tender spots in a contracted muscle, creating involuntary pain and muscle dysfunction. The resulting spasms and increased nerve sensitivity elicit sharp pain or a constant ache in the muscle. Trigger points can also cause referred pain, pain that travels from the effected muscle through the nerves and is expressed in remote areas. WHAT CAUSES TRIGGER POINTS: Trigger points develop from emotional or physical stress, repetitive use or overuse of a muscle, trauma or accidents, structural imbalance, improper stretching (or lack of stretching) before physical exertion. When individual muscle fibers are over-stimulated and unable to release their contracted state, painful knots develop. The knotted muscle experiences a spiral of events starting with a decrease in blood flow, which causes a diminished supply of oxygen, which causes a build up of metabolic wastes, and finally results in the contracted muscle (trigger point) sending out signals of distress and pain. HOW TRIGGER POINT THERAPY WORKS: In most cases you can eliminate your muscle pain by treating Trigger Points yourself with the Body Back Buddy. When you apply pressure to the Trigger Point, the pain-spasm cycle is interrupted which helps stop the contraction making the pain go away. The Body Back Buddy gives you easy access to all parts of your body. You control the amount of pressure you want to apply. Each therapeutic knob on your Body Back Buddy is designed to simulate the shape and size of the thumbs and elbows therapist's use for Trigger Point Therapy. To treat your trigger points, comfortably position a therapy knob directly over the affected muscle and apply sustained pressure for a period long enough to release the muscle spasm (about 10-30 seconds). When you release the pressure, you will feel the muscle let go and relax. Regular use of your Body Back Buddy is one of the most powerful yet simple ways you can treat muscle pain and discomfort.

We love this massage tool, it's easy to use and highly effective. You will wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.
Eventually a severe back spasm led me back to it in desperation and I started gently "playing" with it. I was surprised to find that it's relatively intuitive, despite looking intimidating. If you've ever used a kitchen counter or table corner, square support post, or doorknob to rub your back against, the same instincts apply here -- you just have LOTS more options. Position some knob or another against a sore spot, apply gentle pressure, and wiggle. After a few seconds you'll naturally gravitate toward the motion and degree of pressure that feels good and helps. It's a little slow (I use it while watching TV or doing something else) but inexpensive compared to massage, and with practice you can get very good at controlling the amount, type, and direction of pressure -- something that can be difficult to communicate to another person.
The length can make it cumbersome but also provides what I see as its greatest strength: you can get excellent leverage by positioning one hook-end knob against the target muscle, holding it one of the side protrusions with one hand while moving the free end back and forth with the other. By taking advantage of it as a lever with multiple potential fulcrums and choking up or down with the moving hand, arthritics and fibromyalgics like myself can manage self-massage with minimal strength applied and very little movement. With a few days' practice, I learned to get significantly more benefit from the BBB in proportion to strength and energy exerted than any other self-massage tool I've tried -- that is, whatever area I've targeted feels much better without causing my arms or hands to feel just as bad in trade-off.
For more pressure, position yourself so that the weight of your limb or body is resting on the applied knobby-bit; unlike a tennis ball or knobbler, this gives you pressure from below with control from above -- that is, you don't have to have your hand contorted underneath yourself to move it back and forth while resting your weight on it, nor is there a need to move your whole body back and forth, both of which can be very tiring.
The length also makes it versatile while sitting, if you have room to swing it around yourself. I've managed to rub my neck, back, arms, legs, and feet, all in the same position on the couch, over the course of an hour-long TV program. If I hold it properly, I get a bonus hand massage in the process.
An excellent product, minus one star for lack of instruction. It's referred to in books I own which give more technical advice than this, but one shouldn't have to buy an additional $30 book to avoid letting an item sit in a closet for not knowing how to use it.
I will say that the original one I bought more than 5 years ago has smoother points and feels more heavy, whereas the newer ones I've bought feel lighter and the points feel a little bit rougher/ not as smooth.
I went to massage school many years ago, so I'm familiar with trigger point and how to apply it. Not hard at all. Just find the place that's tight, by gently applying pressure. When you find it, give a little more pressure and hold until you feel it give way, but don't force it. DON'T FORGET TO BREATH! If that area does not give way, let it go and move on. Sometimes people hold tension for a reason. If you are not ready to let that part of your body release, it simply won't. Most times you will not even be aware you are doing it, unless you know your body very well.
If you are a courageous soul, you'll incorporate meditation into your life. This will help you ultimately find those spots of tension, plus you'll live the best life ever!
So basically, I'm loving this device! It hits every part of the body I'm aiming for. Where I have been loving it so far, is right were the skull attaches to the spine, high up in the crook and crannies. Absolutely marvelous! I'm am over the moon happy! Thank you for inventing such a fantastic product!
