Didn't Work On Scapula Area
Revising my initial review and downgrading my evaluation because the end slippery knobs I referenced are too large to reach targeted myofacial trigger points hidden beneath the layered scapula.<br /><br />-------------------<br />This product works fairly well.I would give it a 3.8 out of 5.<br />Pros:<br />-Sturdy Construction<br />-Portable (Comes apart in half for easy travel)<br />-Good value for price compared to competition.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Seems to require some of the same muscles for pressure  you want relaxed i.e. arm pressure that radiates back to the shoulders and back.<br />-You can wedge it against the floor or another surface but it is still rather "slippery" against a shirt. Actually "sticks" better to the spot when sweaty and/or against bare skin. Therefore it is not as good as a targeted finger.<br /><br />Conclusion: For the price, it is worth it but it would be a 5 if they added silicone "feet" to the end knobs so it would have some traction before your back needed some.<br />Rubberized or silicone tips would help it hold the spot you are trying to address. doesn't slid off the "spot".<br /><br />If I had to do it over, I would consider a device found on Amazon which is larger but you can use foot pressure to help massage the back provided you don't need the portability and are willing to pay almost twice as much.
