Dr. Berg Body, Neck & Back Self-Massage Tool - Comes with an Instructions Manual & Access to How-to Online Videos

I have pain underneath my ribs on my back and this is the best tool I have found to release it! You can use it on the couch, against a wall, or on the floor. The different size knobs are great for getting different areas on neck and back. Great for the soreness at the base of the skull as well. I have taken it on long car rides and you can put it between the seat and your back. Overall phenomenal product, worth it being overpriced due to its unique shape and ability to help with areas that are otherwise hard to reach.

Great for massaging someone's else back to provide instant relief of tightness. Just use any skin lotion or massage oil and spread evenly on her back. Then press the two points anywhere and start dragging down along the rib cage. I also pressed along the side of the neck and pulled down across the top of the shoulder. Its a great substitute for using two fingers. I also used it for instant relief behind my neck.

The item arrived on time. Included were some useful booklets on nutrition. For use info, you'll have to download the booklets from Dr. Berg's site, and/or watch Dr. Berg's videos, which are excellent. I've ordered other products from Dr. Berg based on his books and videos. I am not a patient or affiliated with his practice. I have found that Dr. Berg's products and devices do work as advertised and his company has always been gracious and helpful if any returns or adjustments are needed. That being said, here's my review of this particular deviceI find that using the device takes a little practice to get it in the correct position. Once in position, I found that it does indeed reduce muscular stress. It is also an excellent pressure point tool. It's easier to get into position than other devices I have tried for reducing neck and back pain muscle stress. It's also more multi-function that other products. I keep it handy where I sit at the computer so I can use it several times a day for neck relief and use on various trigger points. I think it is a good investment as a body work tool for relief of muscular stress.

I have bought acupressure canes several different types and designs and this one seems to really help. I had fallen and hurt my arm and shoulder (rotator cuff). It helps in different areas like calves, around knees and of course spine areas and neck. It would be great for use on someone receiving a total full body massage(they will love you!)Just be careful and learn how to use it. It is very powerful and takes some careful experimentation to learn to unlock its full capabilities.I love mine so much that I’ve bought one for a friend in his 70’s and lots of muscle pains and I’m hoping it will help him.I could now throw away most of the massage tools or give them away. If you get one take the time to learn how to use it. Is has good weight and heft that most of the pressure point massage tools don’t have. You have to play around with it. Amazon Prime vendors give you 30 day trial to figure out wether it’s for you.I don’t often get excited like this but this tool is giving me some real relief and saving me a lot of money in the long run.

I wanted to give this four stars because for me it worked great but for my wife she could never get the hang of using it by herself. It does work in the sense that if you put it in the right spots and hold it there it really does relieve your stress and help you sleep. But on the other hand trying to get it into the spots you need it and holding it there without someone else helping you is what becomes difficult if you're not familiar with how to do this. I do like dr. Berg's videos and he has very good knowledge of how to use this tool but trying to use it by yourself without any knowledge becomes difficult. For me I like the product very much it relieves my stress at night and I am asleep within minutes after taking it off. It worked for both me and my wife but since my wife cannot use it on her own it is not worth the money for me to keep it it was more for her than for me. So now I have to give the massage each night to her in order for her to sleep well. And my fingers and thumbs hurt. I think if there were rubber balls at the ages of the tripods it would help secure enough in a place because it kept sliding upper down when she would put it on the chair or on the headboard of our bed. I personally think she would just not motivated to use the product to relieve her own stress. But for me I think it's a great product.
