Back Trigger Point Massager and Personal Body Massage for Release Back Bain, Pelvic Exercise for Strength Trigger Point Physical Therapy with 6 Massage Heads

I live in excruciating lower back/hip pain and have reduced mobility as a result. First, I managed to get onto the floor. I laid down on this thing and started mid/upper buttock (big balls on 2nd hole in and 2 smaller balls in middle) and slid it up in three increments until it was at my lower back. I remained in place for about 30 - 60 seconds and FORCED myself to relax my butt muscles. Did it hurt? You bet your sweet p'tootie it hurt. But, as I laid there, I could feel the muscles releasing and, when I sat up, I could move my legs and body far more easily than before. Later, I had to do some cleaning in my bedroom which normally takes hours because I have to sit down every few minutes due to spasming. I got everything done in about an hour - including moving my queen size bed to sweep underneath - and experienced no pain. NO PAIN. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been without pain. Of course, it's not a cure-all and they pain did return. But it seems like, to work, there has to be some activity immediately following the treatment. Now, I've seen comments complaining about the small size. That it's not made for bigger people. Here's the thing. It's not like your skeleton and/or attached muscles get wider as you get wider. I am fat. FAT. It worked for me. It'll work for you. If the pain is the kind of pain you get when someone pushes on your knots, push through it. It'll be worth it.

I bought this somewhat impulsively when I saw the words "psoas muscle release" because I've had problems with my psoas in the past. When I received it, I found the instructions in the box rather cryptic. I came back to the Amazon site, found more and better info, and realized all I really need to do is adjust the ball size/width to align with trigger points and simply lay on it for a few minutes, for each body part. It provides tremendous relief from stiff, tired and painful muscles, in every part of your body. I use it for my butt/hips, back and legs (several points on thighs and calves), neck and arms.The instructions on Amazon say if it feels "too painful" when you first lay on it, use a towel for padding. I get great relaxation and relief results. I typically use this at the end of the day before going to bed and it really helps.

I like this product, its simple, sturdy, and easy to use. I think wood is more comfortable than plastic, could be just a personal preference. Maybe use a towel or something to cushion the balls if you're more sensitive to pressure. Good for working out stubborn painful knots, can be used on pretty much any body part. I used it on my abdomen to get the psoas, and it worked pretty well, ditto for all the muscles along my spine, and on the low back. Honestly I should give it 5 stars. I just hate how everything on Amazon has 5 stars, and its hard to trust the reviews.

Awesome psoas muscle relief that is sturdier then a single ball and gets deeper than a foam roller. I also use it on my upper back to target knots near or under my shoulder blades. Great for hip flexor releases too! Very sturdy and easy to use. Happy I bought it!Pros:- easy to use- more sturdy than using a ball or foam roller- can target both psoas muscles at the same time- versatile and can be used in many other areas for pain relief and increase mobility- adjustable: can move balls to different slots or use bigger/smaller balls.Cons:- not easy to store as you cannot place all of the wooden balls on the base at the same time.- takes up more room than a ball- hard to ease into as there is no way to adjust the hardness of the balls- info sheet wasn’t very exciting and missed out on explaining other ways to use the item- my cat (who thinks he’s a dog) likes to steal the balls and hide them :P

I would rate this product very highly, except it was sent with two large and four small balls rather than 2 lg, 2 med, 2 sm balls. So, it doesn’t fit for the purpose as advertised. The balls are supposed to fit in the base simultaneously. They do not. It’s too heavy and bulky to return……so, my loss. This is happening more and more on Amazon. Pieces broken, missing, defective, open, used and some that have contaminants such as mold. Brick and mortar stores are looking more convenient after all.

I do like this tool but I think that my other tool for my so as helps much more.

To me, this is the best replacement to replicate the school desk (IYKYK)! I haven't been able to get a psoas release from this, but I find with the smaller pegs attached, I can get some really good movement (read: cracks) out of my mid back. I can also slide my back up and down this and get some really nice massge around my spine. I've had this for around two years now, and its one of the tools I use almost daily for relief.

Love this item I keep it on my bed and use it several times throughout the day I am disabled from my pain from fibromyalgia. I have muscle spasms and all I do is takeoff one big ball and put it underneath that muscle or rub it on that muscle and it works great! In my bed I will sit on the one ball underneath My right butt cheek and it will dig into my trigger point pain just buy my own bodyweight. Sorry if this sounds too descriptive but I love these things I lean back on them to get my shoulder blades and the pain from neck really it’s Great for my entire body!! I would buy it again but since there’s so many pieces and you can just lay on it and use it for things that you need or takeoff the individual balls and use them to concentrate in one specific area this thing does it all!!!
