I was impressed with the quality of the product and how light it was immediately upon opening it. With a wide range of uses based on different positions and using different parts of it, I've found it to be very, very helpful and one of my primary go-to massage tools. It can feel so nice that I have to intentionally stop myself to give my body a break and not have too much pressure! :)It can be challenging to get the right pressure in the desired way in certain parts of the body, but to be fair, it's virtually impossible for any device to do everything well. I've found what works well for me. For instance, the deeper trigger point, targeting my lower middle back tends to be most effective while using it against the back of a chair rather than laying on the ground.With the softer, curved side, I find it stretches and aligns my upper back spine better than even the Chirp wheels do. I find these to be complementary with the wheels good for stretching in general, but this massage puts more precise pressure in particular areas, which can be very helpful.It's so light and compact yet soft that it's easy to carry around the house. I'm curious if it would trigger a manual search of luggage if I travel with it for work since it has a metal core (it should have no problems clearing, but I'm guessing it may get flagged on imaging due to its unique shape). I haven't traveled since I had it yet, but its size and efficacy would make it a nice travel companion.I struggled with the price, as others have noted. It's not cheap. But it is good quality with a long warranty. The customer service is very responsive, as I asked a range of questions. I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider returning it in the 30 day window purely because of price. I love this massager, but with some other big purchases around the same time, I was debating returning it to save some money. I kept it, and I really don't regret it. The metal core, great rubbery coating, warranty, multiple applications, and all the development, planning, and testing that had to go into it likely drives this price. I haven't found anything similar to it. So while I'd still like to see a lower price point for broader accessibility, the device itself is very, very good and one I recommend.

Ordered this several months ago, and it has been such a game changer in maintaining my back and shoulder health! I get a lot of muscle tightness and would spend long periods of time using individual trigger point massage tools in only 1-2 problem areas at once. Using this deep tissue massager feels really great, targets many of my problem spots at one time. Using it saves me lots of time - and pain!This product is also really incredibly made, and I know I will use it regularly for many years to come. Worth the investment because it is a great product that works!

I bought this because I had tried massages for a full year but still had pain in my shoulder that could never seem to go away. Specifically inside my shoulder blade. The designed is smart and gets rid of any knots you can think of. Just put it behind yourself while sitting on the couch and massage it into your problem areas. I can’t tell you how much it helped me. I used it for about a week straight, then off and on for another few weeks, and now I use it as needed. It’s super convenient to be able to grab it when I’m feeling pain rather than waiting for a massage appointment that doesn’t fully solve my problem. The quality is great as well. It’s truly worth it. It’s simple and it works

The headline is intentional, as this device is not for those who do not appreciate the wisdom of this type of therapeutic device. Much like a theracane, it requires some trial and error, self learning about trigger points and how they respond, and understanding your personal challenges/issues.Just to be clear, I am not a workout warrior or fitness model/influencer. I am old dude who hurts more from doing nothing than something and wakes up sore and stiff unless I regularly exercise. I have a couple problem spots that result in chronic tendonitis (diagnosed tendonosis in rotator cuff and bicep as well as quad, hip flexor, and gluteus medius). It took me some time to figure out how this device and the other one they sell, as I bought both. This device was probably used as a torture device sometime in the past. But it also helped me dig into those areas and relieve some of the tension and increase the mobility while reducing the pain (will not eliminate the pain).I won't lie, I seriously considered returing this thing as the first few attempts were mostly pain. But with a little patience and tolerance of suffering, I found some uses for these that I have not found with a theracane, lacrosse ball, trigger point ball, etc... So it's staying in my bag of torture instruments.One piece of advice, find a decently sized open space on the floor with a little bit of padding to offset the discomfort you are about to inflict on yourself. Like most of these types of devices, some expert guidance is beneficial. After that, you just have to experiment carefully with an awareness of good, necessary pain vs pain that leads to injury.The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is lack of guidance. The short video is a good start but honestly, there could be a series of them illustrating the different ways to position yourself and the device to apply pressure in the right spot and achieve the desired muscle release.(posted same review on their other device as I bought both).

Great device. It helps my tight muscles to loosen up. I have fibromyalgia, so this helps to make the pain more manageable. It does hurt a bit digging into your pressure points. It is worth the pain for me. I also like the book “Tight hip, Twisted core” by Christine Koth. It provides stretches to help loosen tight muscles.
