Product Description
TREAT YOURSELF TO DEEP RELIEF FROM PAINFUL, KNOTTED, SPASMED MUSCLES - EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK! This amazingly simple yet effective self-massager makes it easy to apply pain-relieving deep compression directly to hard, knotted "triggerpoints" anywhere they occur - breaking up tension even in the hardest-to-reach muscles between your shoulder blades! If you have limited strength or mobility, Thera Cane's patented design gives youall the reach and leverage you need! HOW DOES IT WORK? Pressure applied to the muscles by the Thera Cane helps to maximize the flow of oxygenated blood to the muscles. This pressure aids in restoring muscle function by breaking up adhesions in muscle fibers and tendons. The increased circulation helps the muscle to work more efficiently. The Thera Cane provides temporary relief from muscular tension, stiffness, tenderness and soreness. It's simple to use and it puts relief where it belongs, in your hands. The personal involvement necessary for using the Cane leads to an increased desire to take more responsibility for one's own health. Using the Thera Cane regularly will put you in touch with your body, closer than you've ever been before, not to mention putting you in control of minor muscular aches and pains. You are never alone when you have your Thera Cane with you. UPC 705766007019 Theracane Instructional DVD Also Available for Only $5.

Hits the Spot! March 22, 2008

Buy this odd-looking, yet extremely handy device if you have a hard-to-reach spot that needs constant attention. Especially useful for the back or if you need to apply a good amount of pressure on spots such as the bottom of the foot. Things I like best about it include:
-it's lightweight
-handles positioned so you can keep pressure on a spot while rubbing
-is in the shape of a "hook" so virtually no spot is out of reach
Intended for those who need to regularly massage out tense areas in the muscles, it's a very useful tool- and cheaper than therapy! Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you suffer with this most annoying foot condition.
Great for self-massage and accupressure December 28, 2007

I have been a theracane user for 8 years now and was surprised to come across this on Amazon. I cannot say enough good things about this product. It's truly amazing to use when you have sore back and shoulder muscles. Although I don't use this daily, there are times when I get such severe neck and shoulder pain that I can't imagine being without this great tool. I would say the most useful way to use this is to apply pressure to certain points on your back, neck, and shoulders and you will find quick relief. Be sure to not be overzealous in use or you could end up very sore with more pain than you started with. I just ordered the instructional dvd Official Thera Cane Instructional DVD and hope to try more products by this company in the near future.
By the way, if you ever loan it out to a friend, you will never get it back, it's that good!
excellent relief January 7, 2008

just try it...don't buy books or anythign...it's worth the money to try. but the money is not the hard part, it's the time.
some people say do a little everyday, but i found in the beginning i had to spend 90 minute sessions to find my muscles in my back, after you start finding them, then it takes less time.
Also, i find that i like to stretch and take different positions to expose certain muscles in my back to make them easier to get to. No masseur i've used was ever able to reach these spots in my back effectively. I didn't even understand how the tension in my upper neck was actually rooted in muscles that were underneath my trapezius and sort of hidden deep in and around my shoulder blade....when you find the muscle that'll all tight, it's a revelation.....then it just takes time to kneed it out.
as a very self reliant/dependant person, i really do endorse this product, i've spent hundreds on professional masseurs, and the only one that helped was the one that told me to buy theracane....after i asked him how to better massage myself. the nice thing too is that you can use this whenever the muscle tension acts up, without having to schedule a massage--- but then, this is not really a substitute for a masseur , it's a simple and better replacement for pain sufferers in my opinion. Still, it's not a pleasureful as a masseur since not only do you do all the work, but you also know that you're not getting much done until you find the spot that hurts, and start digging at it, so it's kind of painful. It's almost like popping zits, it hurts slightly, but the pain is very relieving, ....you gotta try it. when you get out your first knot, you'll be addicted to using it to get out your others....
i have both chronic lower back and upper neck pain, and very tense shoulders. for sufferers' of neck pain; you will learn that 95% of your neck pain in rooted in your upper back and shoulders; even if there is clicking and tightness in you neck...( i twist my whole head about the axis of my neck a few times a day to loudly crack it for relief, until i started using this--now it's only once a day and it's less necessary)

This ugly conversation piece is a life saver. Although you may want to keep it at home and not at your desk, as it won't fit in a drawer, and is bound to initiate more discussion than you want to make about the benefits of trigger point therapy.
But for the many of us who suffer from shoulder tension and the resulting hand and arm numbness, a quick pull on this tool can get you back to sleep or work as the case may be.
Well worth the expense
Incredible device for frozen shoulder! March 8, 2007

This tool was recommended to me by my physical therapist, and it has worked wonders in freeing up the tissues, muscles and tendons in my shoulder and upper back. I use it in conjunction with the Frozen Shoulder Workbook, and will continue to use it for the rest of my life, even after my shoulder recovers.
