 Wonderful tool! November 7, 2006

There is only one thing that I wish this tool would be and that is more travel friendly. It is a bit odd shaped and difficult to fit into a small to medium-sized gym bag and back pack. Otherwise I'd take it with me everywhere. It is very effective at getting rid of all the aches and pains developed after sleeping in a bad position, working long hours, sitting at a computer for too long, traveling, and over-exertion. I must have saved several hundred dollars in massage therapy and pain killer medication costs in the past year and a half that I've owned this.
No way! It really works?! November 21, 2007

That was my question to friends who have this crazy-looking self-massage tool. After 10 minutes, I was "hooked". The best thing is that you can relax--as one should when trying to reduce pain--and even laugh while you tie yourself in a pretzel exploring the impact of each knob on each pain spot. And it's incredibly versatile. Neck pain? Got it! Cramp in the arch of your foot? Fixed. Muscle knot that you can't reach yourself? No worries. Besides, even if it doesn't work, what a great conversation starter on a cold rainy night in the Pacific Northwest: "Top 10 ways to use the Buddy Massage Cane that aren't found in the directions."
One of the best self-massage tools around March 31, 2008

First off, I usually have tightness in my shoulders and neck (probably from spending too much time in front of a computer all day at work). I also have stiffness in my lower back from time to time. The BBB is really effective at reaching all my knots and bringing relief through hitting those pressure points (on the neck, upper and lower shoulder blade, and all along the spine). What makes it so good is that when you position the "ball points" on those areas, the tool is designed so that you can use just modest leverage to get to the deep tissue. This is key because you can use this for quite a while and not get tired. I can't stress the importance of this enough. I find that with proper positioning, I can really get a lot of pressure by simply using my arm weight with modest effort.
Also, I find that with some practice you can actually slide the ball points along your tight areas, which more effectively mimics a real massage vs. just getting point pressure (which I find brings less relief). For instance, by gently laying on top of the bbb (facing up), I can get a very deep lower back massage - and all by myself!
The bbb is also very sturdy. Takes a little bit of experimentation to get used to it, but all in all, it's one of my favorite self-massage tools and I would highly recommend it.
Really reaches the trigger points October 18, 2007

I ordered this to help release trigger points on my muscles to relieve fybromyalgia symptoms. It works wonderfully, and there is no place I cannot reach with one knob or another. The two ends of the "S" are different. One is a ball, the other shaped more like an elbow. The two perpendicular pieces are the same way. This tool will allow me to hit any trigger point I want to with as much depth or pressure as I need. Until I am rich enough to afford my own massage therapist, this is the next best thing.
 Not that impressed July 23, 2007

I had high hopes that the back buddy would allow me to reduce the visits I made to receive deep tissue massage for my chronically tense neck and upper back muscles. Although the back buddy is well made and does provide pressure at trigger points, I haven't found it as effective as either rolling around the floor with a tennis ball under my back, or using a foam roller (very fun and effective). Probably would not have purchased it had I known this in advance. I gave it three stars though b/c it does what it claims (provides pressure on trigger points) and is well made.
