Back Knobber II vs Theracane
I have had both the Theracane and the Original Back Knobber II for several months. Both are well made and similar in price.  I bought them to try to reduce my chiropractic visits and to be more in charge of my back and neck issues.<br /><br />The instructions pamphlet with the Back Knobber is a a little more complete.  The device itself is easier for me to use.  I can get better leverage.  I like the way it comes apart for travel--I keep it at work where co-workers borrow it.  The Theracane is also decent--the side knobs make for a more stable and gentle application to neck pressure points.<br /><br />I figure I have already saved enough on chiropractic visits to pay for them both.  Applying self pressure only works effectively with a tool such as either of these.  I use the one at work when listening during an e-meeting, and the one at home during the evening news.  Use of the devices is most effective during a regular relaxation time.  I have also become very aware of my posture and am improving that so bad habits stop contributing to knots.
