The Original Backnobber II® helps you to relax away tension in hard-to-reach places. The "S" design allows you to hook it over the shoulder or under the arm to leverage the knobbed end against a tight muscle which will relax with pressure. Made of polymer composite, it is sturdy enough to apply pressure to painful muscle trigger points with ease, yet collapsible for transport. It snaps apart to fit in briefcase or gym bag. Simply great for finding and working on back pain and tension you didn't even know you had. Where do you apply it? Some 85% of the time, where you hurt is not where the pain originates! Much pain starts with trigger points, irritable spots of shortened, tangled muscle fibers and fascia that refer pain to distant areas. For details on where and what to treat, see The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. (The exquisitely detailed professional version of this is Travell and Simons Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction. For the treasure map of textbook pain patterns and the trigger points that cause the pain, see Travell & Simons Pain Charts.
