You can use it to reach your back and relax tight muscles for great stress relief. Massage is great for stress relief. But sometimes it is difficult to get a massage. When your muscles feel so tight that you can hardly move your head, and your head is pounding with a stress headache, the Back Buddy can provide stress relief. You can apply pressure to the tender spots in your muscles and relieve the tension. What is a Back Buddy? The Body Back Buddy is made for direct pressure on points that are tender and sore. It is not easy to rub or stroke with it. You apply pressure and then move to the next spot. When pressure is applied to these sore spots, the muscle releases and there is relief from the pain. The Back Buddy is made of very hard plastic. It is not "comforting", and can even be painful if you use too much pressure. This makes it excellent for applying pressure to sore spots until they release. It is not good for a massage that is soothing and soft. You could solve problem by putting some padding on the knobs, but it is made for pressure. There are many different knobs which can give you a great deal of uses. Use your imagination and you can figure out lots of ways to massage your body. You can use the "S" shape in many angles. The "S" gives great leverage and you can easily reach difficult places with little strain on your hands, wrists or arms. The BBB comes in 3 sizes for small, medium and large people. How to Use the Body Back Buddy The use of the BBB is limited only by your imagination. In general, you are looking for sore, tight spots and applying gentle but firm pressure for 10-30 seconds until the muscle relaxes. Using the Back Buddy on your upper back is easy. You can reach 2 spots at once with the double knobs. The can be positioned right by your cervicals or nearer your upper trapezius. Use the double knobs to get right below your shoulder blades. You can easily get your outer thigh without tiring your fingers. This is a very interesting technique. You get both outer shins at once, and the pressure is increased or decreased by spreading your legs and pushing against the knobs. You can use the Back Buddy while lying down. It's easy to reach your feet and get really good pressure on them. If your neck is screaming in pain, a massage is a nice solution. But if you can't get a massage, try this nifty massager. The Body Back Buddy is great for giving pressure to your back and neck muscles. It is not a soothing treatment. Think of it as therapeutic pain relief.
