Thera Cane Deep Pressure Massager - The Original - Since 1988

I saw this Thera Cane recommended on a YouTube video regarding massaging trigger points to relieve chronic pain. I was very impressed by the huge majority of positive reviews on Amazon - especially the ones where people say it cured long term pain - it sounded too good to be true - but something I had to try! I have used it on several occasions now - sometimes just to massage tight muscles - upper back, lower back, shoulder and neck - it is quite easy to use once you get used to it; it is very light and easy to manoeuvre to find the 'trigger points'. A couple of weeks ago I woke up with a really painful shoulder and neck - the type which usually takes at least a few days to heal. I decided to give the Theracane a try - it didn't take long to find the trigger point, I could actually feel it easing the muscle. I didn't think much more about it... until later in the afternoon when I found myself unexpectedly painting my shed (!!) - and my neck and shoulder felt fine! This is when I realized how effective the Thera Cane had been! I actually bought it because I have a damaged coccyx and am unable to sit down... As it is a difficult condition to treat and I do not want to cause any more pain in this area, I have only used the Thera Cane lightly around my spine and lower back. The coccydinia pain, so far, remains the same - but that is probably because my coccyx is dislocated. Hopefully it will help in time to relax the muscles and maybe my coccyx will go back to where it should be! I can hope. Overall though, I definitely highly recommend the Thera Cane!!

Stick arrived earlier than expected. Far too much packaging though. Ive only been using it a day or two but so far to say I'm impressed is an understatement. I've suffered with back and neck problem for what seems like forever. My neck was so bad that i found it difficult to look to the ceiling without feeling pain and tension. Ive always had knots in my shoulders and back and find it difficult to relax. I carry a lot of stress in my back and shoulders. Ive had numerous sports and deep tissue massages which have helped somewhat but are far too expensive to become regular. I was initially hesitant to buy the theracane because it looked gimmicky and rather expensive but after reading the reviews i managed to convince myself that it would be worth a try. ( i figured i could send it back if i found it ineffective 😉) I'm sooo glad i ordered it. So far I've only used the large knob at the end of the curve but that has helped to release the knots in my shoulders and neck. I was shocked to feel the range of motion in my neck after using and for the first time could look up without pain. It does feel very uncomfortable to the point of being painful but you also feel all the tension leaving. Its a strange sensation that travels up to your head which feels sort of tingling. It literally feels like the pressure you have in your head ( that you didn't even know was there) is being lifted. You are left with a feeling of deep relaxation and well being. I found myself being less uptight and my sense of humour returned. All this after the first use. Another strange side effect of using this is that my vocabulary seems to have improved and I'm no longer struggling to find the right words. ( maybe it helps with memory??) I feel much more positive about life in general and look forward to using this daily to unlock and unblock my capabilities ( and of course my knots) The instuctions are very helpful as not only do they show you how to use the tool but also show the various trigger points. I found that if i press a certain point in my shoulder blades the pain radiates and eventually releases my neck further. I have managed to loosen the knots in my back and can now feel them move under pressure instead of being rock hard. I'm enjoying the massaging results of my upper back and neck so much that i haven't yet moved down to my lower back. I'll update on that as i progress. I think this tool would be even more effective after a hot bath when muscles are more supple. I intend to take mine to the sauna and use it there. Cant wait.

I bought this tool along with two books; The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment for Pain Relief and The Frozen Shoulder Workbook: Trigger Point Therapy for Overcoming Pain and Regaining Range of Motion. (both excellent books). It is definitely worth buying them as a package as the books refer to the Thera cane and give example uses of it to help ease your pain and trigger points. The cane is very easy to use and can be held in a combination of positions and angles to reach your back, shoulders and neck in ways that is just not possible with your hands. The pressure it can exert is impressive and it can be quite painful if you are over-eager, so be gentle at first. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the cane and books. However, I've since seen that there is another tool available called the "Body Back Buddy Jr" which is much cheaper than the cane. It wasn't available when I bought my thera-cane. So, take a look at that one too - they probably do a similar job.

I don't have much to say bad of this product. I have had muscle & nerve problems for a while. I blame work stress more than anything but other factors are involved. On release of muscle knots, the relief and pain ease is fantastic. The design reaches everywhere I want on my back and I work my neck a lot better as using my fingers prove to be difficult to keep long time pressure on the areas I need to work with. My only criticism of this product is price! Seems expensive for a big piece of hard plastic but I still don't regret my purchase at all. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars!

Hits the spot every time guaranteeing relief.

期待通り。重宝してます。

Originale Thera-Cane. Il migliore bastone da massaggio dei trigger point. Diffidate dalle cinesate che costano qualche euro in meno, non ne vale la pena. Infatti è fondamentale non solo il materiale con cui è fatto il bastone, ma anche le dimensione delle "punte" arrotondate. Questo bastone, oltre ad essere fatto di un ottimo materiale che dà subito l'impressione di solidità, ha il giusto grado di flessibilità. Può sembrare ininfluente, invece quando andrete a massaggiare i vari trigger point sulla schiena, se il bastone non "cede" quel giusto, ci farete male. Il bastone arriva con un pieghevole con indicati i trigger point e degli esempi di utilizzo nei vari punti del corpo, ma secondo me è da cestinare. Infatti per chi non vuole farsi male consiglio il libro di Davies, il manuale della terapia dei trigger point. In questo libro troverete una mappa sia dei trigger point e soprattutto come va fatto l'auto massaggio senza farsi del male

J'étais un peu réservée à cause du prix mais la canne est conforme, solide et très pratique à utiliser. Moi qui souffre régulièrement de contractures et de torticolis et qui devais me contorsionner pour me masser le dos, je ne pourrai plus m'en passer ! Bref, ce n'est pas un gadget, c'est un investissement.

I liked the Thera cane - it needs some practiseut works well when you get used to it
