Body Back Buddy: The Sport Pain Reliever Self Massage Tool To Help Heal Sore Spots

By Veronica Tripplethorn

In an ideal world, we’d get a $100 massage every single day from an area spa or perhaps we’d have someone at home whose only desire was to massage our back pain away every day when we got home from work. Unfortunately, in the real world, we end up massaging our own sore necks, shoulders and feet more than we’d like to admit.

We grimace and bear the pain or pop a few IB Profen, knowing deep down it won’t do the trick as we hoped it would. Given this common scenario, it’s no surprise that the $32 Body Back Buddy: The Sport Pain Reliever Self Massage Tool is flying off the shelves.

A 12 Page Instruction Book

Paul Nash, designer of the Body Back Buddy: The Sport Pain Reliever Self Massage Tool says he was looking for "lightweight, versatile, affordable, and simple" pain relief products while in massage school. The 27-inch tool comes in an S-shaped cane, with 11 trigger point knobs and an easy-to-grip handle.

You’ll get a 12-page instruction booklet with your purchase, although the basic gist is that you position a therapy knob over the painful area on your back and hold the tool by the handle or frame. You then push away from your body with your lower hand, while using your other hand to guide the therapy knob.

Choosing Your Pressure Preferences

The makers say you can review your options and use the healing pressure on your legs, arms, feet, chest and hips. You can use it sitting, standing, lying down or with a partner. "Pressure preferences vary from one person to another; deep and intense or gentle and relaxing," the company website says, so you will need to play around with the tool to see what feels best for you.

Many Reviews

Consumers report using the Body Back Buddy: The Sport Pain Reliever Self Massage Tool for chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, work-related tension, painful muscle knots, shoulder aches and overexertion. "After 10 years of considering back pain to be a constant in my life, a chiropractor virtually ended my back pain using trigger point therapy. I hadn’t realized how much life I was giving up due to back pain until the pain was gone," writes M. Wisinewski, who adds: "Now whenever I get tense, painful knots in my back, I am able to message them out myself with the Body Back Buddy Classic. I find this device to save me much time, money and pain."

Many people say that this device is a wonderful answer between expensive massage appointments and chiropractor visits.

Harder Is Not Always Best

Users of the Body Back Buddy: The Sport Pain Reliever Self Massage Tool should be careful to only apply the amount of pressure that feels right. On the Body Back Buddy website, consumers are cautioned that "harder is not necessarily better."

One disgruntled reviewer remarked, "Sorry gang, this is a cheap piece of plastic that is very hard to align over the sore spot and hurts like the dickens when you do. Save yourself the money and slam your back into a door knob.

The knob is bigger and would hurt less." People also mention that it can be difficult to fumble around and find the sore spot with such a large and cumbersome device.
