does the job
I've had chronic left upper shoulder area pain for about 4 years. I think it's from sitting at a computer and tensing up because I'm always cold. Been to the doctor a few times and they don't know what to do except recommend physical therapy. So I finally went which was a huge waste of time and money. So I just started to make my boyfriend literally pound on the areas that hurt and dig really hard but it was hurting his poor thumbs and fingers. So I did research and found the backnobber and now I can knead out these knots as hard as I want to on my own! It's not curing the issue but relieving it and I guess that is all I can ask for. My only complaint is that it's not made for small people with little ribcages because I can't do a lot of the "moves" you're supposed to be able to do with it making it a little awkward for me to actually use it. Have to use two hands.
