Helps with Migraines!
I've had this for about a week now and all I can say is...WOW! My son, who also gets migraines, told me about this having heard about it from his girlfriend who also gets headaches. I went ahead, crossed my fingers and ordered it.I have severe degenerative arthritis in my shoulders and spine. I also get migraines. The day after this was delivered, I woke up with a migraine brewing and my 'normal' pain in my neck and shoulders--this chronic pain causes a lot of anxiety and tension in me and I knew it was going to be bad. I followed the directions and gave it a try. The key here is to be gentle and not overdo it. I'm happy to say that my headache went away after about 15 minutes and did not blow up like it usually does. On top of this, my neck and shoulder muscles felt relaxed and not 'tight' at all. So far, every day I just use the blocks for a few minutes (you need to build up) and no headaches, no tightness and lots of relief! I'm pretty happy!

Quite the Contraption
I purchased this to relieve some migraine pressure points and to alleviate neck related stress. I later found it useful for kneading an achy muscle as well, particularly in your back. This thing is heavy and it's quite hard, so when you use it, it's not like using a foam ball, pillow, or tennis ball. It definitely feels like a piece of equipment that a physical therapist would use. The top portion of the device easily disconnects and reconnects with the bottom base, so if you find that it's too large and hard for your comfort, you can detach the top and it provides a little less pressure to the area that you're treating. For me, when needed, it has helped. I would recommend this product.

Highly Recommend
So I was very skeptical of this at first. I tried it for a few days, and yes I could feel the pressure, but it felt like it was bruising me more than actually getting knots out.It wasn’t until day 5 that I really started to understand how this amazing product works. I woke up with a massive pain in my shoulder blade, got this out, laid on it at a slight angle and within 2 minutes I could literally hear and feel the knot release - such an amazing feeling. I’ve used it a few times a week ever since and would highly recommend this product!

This block is way too expensive. My head ended ...
This block is way too expensive. My head ended up hurting more after using it. I can handle deep tissue massage but this just didn't work for me.

Wanted to love this, but I'd say it's a like.
Wanted to love this, but I'd say it's a like. I was hoping for that feeling that you get when a massage therapist puts their fingers right at the base of your occipitals and pushes and pulls at the same time. This is better than nothing, but not the same as real fingers. It is nice that you can move your neck around and get relief in a variety of places.

Not for everybody
I suffer from tension headaches, and I thought I'd give this a try seeing all the great reviews, but it actually caused me to have a tension headache, since it was exactly in the point that triggers them...I'm not saying this might not help somebody else as it seems to have helped a lot of people, I just think it greatly depends on your exact issue.

Skeptical? It works for headaches!
My chirorpactor and massage therapist recommended this device to combat my headaches and migraines. I was very skeptical but I have now recommended to several people myself! If you can feel your headaches or migraines coming this will likely work for you. I put it at the base of my skull for about ten minutes and it is near instant relief.Sometimes it will help stive off any pain and sometimes it just makes it bearable.I’ve used it occasionally when my head feels foggy as well.If you suffer from headaches or migraines I highly recommend it. I love that I have a go-to option that isn’t a drug

Working!
Been struggling with menopausal headaches that are debilitating. I've tried every pill, relaxation techniques and nothing helped. I read about these massage blocks helping tension headaches and figured it was worth a shot and I am amazed at the results. I've been using the blocks twice a day for 10 minutes each time and after 4 days I'm almost completely headache free. I still have a bit of a headache but I'm not throwing up or nauseous anymore. My energy is getting better also. All in all I am pretty pleased and would highly recommend this product to anyone also experiencing headaches.
