More powerful than the original

Because the slightly longer hook, you have improve leverage and hook like points that can dig deeper. The downside is the storage and it's not as portable to carry around compare to the original Therma Cane.

Body Back Buddy Review

2008-05-20
This is an excellent product for reaching any area of the body. you can use it standing up, sitting, laying down, etc. its not quite as huge as it looks in the photos. It has more massage points on it then the theracane. I would recommend you purchase one of the trigger point books along with this device.

Best Self-Help Tool

2008-05-12
I have owned the Body Back Buddy (formerly the Better Back Buddy) for at least 8 years, if not longer. I use it daily at home to help control my fibromyalgia muscle pain. I bought a new one for my office, where many of us use it to relieve our neck, shoulder and back muscle tension.

This is the best self-help tool I have ever owned, and I highly recommend it to anyone who experiences body pain.

Great tension relief

I use the back buddy regularly and even take it with me when I travel. I have had neck and shoulder problems for years and this allows me to work out knots and give me much needed relief between massages. I would highly recommend this item, anyone can use it.

Great product

Because my husband isn't always available to rub my back when I REALLY need it, this Back Buddy has be perfect! When I'm at the computer, I rest it over my shoulder and every once in a while press on a sore spot for a while, go on with my work but can keep using it all day long!

awesome!

Great service and this is a great product. Looked at the Thera cane
but felt the Body Back Buddy Massage Cane would have more uses and be
easier to use. This proved to be true and I was pleasantly surprised
at it's studiness and strength.
I have recommended it to friends and family. This really helps to
relieve those tight spots and release tension in hard to pressure
point places.

Very helpful - recommend it highly

I cannot compare this to the TheraCane which I have never used but both the Body Back Buddy I gave as a gift and the one I first tried out at home seems to have pleased everyone who has used it - and it was not a flash in the pan but continues weeks after arrival to be used. It not only is a great help for reaching points in one's back and neck or in places in front of the torso where it can give good leverage compared to when one attempts to use their hands on themselves, but it also is very convenient for trigger points on the legs, including difficult ones on the sides of the thighs (where one can 'hook' it over the other leg using one of the little perpendicular 'handles' and by slightly spreading one's legs apart generate a surprisingly effective amount of pressure).

The only question I have is how it would work for someone who was much larger than average (especially in terms of thickness). While I can imagine it as still very useful for certain trigger points anyway, I wonder if it might be difficult to use it as conveniently for a really big person (like some big football linemen, say, or heavy weight powerlifters, or even someone built a bit that way). If someone is that size and wonders about it, it might be good to try one out first before ordering one to see if it works for the points they had hoped to reach with it.

Oh! It hurts so good!

This product is awesome! No need to convince someone to give you a back massage - the Body Back Buddy Massage Cane reaches all the places you can't. And you control the pressure. It is a great product for little money.

Amazing Massage Cane

This cane works wonders. My back is perpetually stiff and this cane allows me to loosen up knots on my own. Everyone should have one!

Independant Pain Relief

2008-06-01
This funny looking device has been a blessing for me. No more leaning on door jams or begging family members for a shoulder rub. This thing is great after hours on the PC or sewing machine. Works well for the upper/lower back, shoulders, neck and even the soles of your feet. It comes with a helpful card showing different positions to get those troublesome spots. Of course the Back Buddy won't replace a Licensed Therapist, however I highly recommend this for in between therapy/massage visits.
