Back Knobber and Other Massage Devices
Despite its terrible name I have to admit I am a great fan of the back knobber! I use it to relieve tension in my neck and shoulders and also in the piriformis muscle. It’s very simple; it allows you to apply pressure to trigger points and areas of muscle tension in your back that would normally be very difficult to reach. It’s also shaped very cleverly to allow you to increase or decrease the pressure on the point.
There are other devices on the market that look interesting too, I haven’t tried those out but if anyone has a personal favourite let me know and I will take a look at it.
The Theracane looks a bit similar to the back knobber although seems to have a greater choice of massage head on it.
For smaller areas these knobbles look good:
Finally, there are a few different types of stick massager on the market such as this Tiger Tail massager.
