Dr. Berg Body, Neck & Back Self-Massage Tool - Comes with an Instructions Manual & Access to How-to Online Videos

I have been following Dr. Berg's site for a few months. I am not fully on Keto diet, but it is what I lean toward most. His understanding of trigger points is right on according to my personal experience. His working on the muscles opposite the muscles who are sore at first seems counterintuitive, but so far it has worked, unless there is damage (like a break, fracture or tearing, etc...) which would require other forms of attention. I have a TheraCane and Knobble, and this adds to my effective set of tools. I used it last night right after it arrived. I didn't read the booklet fully, but went over the seven points at least. and did them all. Years ago I went to a chiropractor to reestablish the proper curvature to my neck (from a lifetime of choosing to sleep without a pillow), and that chiropractor succeeded by having me on a daily basis for several weeks lay flat on my back into a device that pushed my chin back, extending my neck. Of course I had to do it gradually, lengthening both the time and the stretch. This Massage Tool has many functions, and one of them reminds me of what I described. I'd had lots of neck pain for weeks and other things just weren't helping it this time. But just wit a minimal application of the tool to the seven locations brought a stretch that was relaxing and created noticeable blood flow. This morning when I awakened I was free of neck pain. Of course I may have to keep on it as it may return. But one night's brief use and I can see it was well worth the $50+. Beware though not to put the tool directly on the spine, but let the prongs (or whatever they're called) straddle it. Do not press too hard or too long. Work into it gradually. Even using it a little can have good results. Although the booklet it came with is small, there is a surprising amount of information in it. Maybe because things have come together seeing the practical application after watching the videos.

My massage tool arrived yesterday. How can I already give it 5 Stars? The massage tool is sturdy, firm. The points are designed to mimic hand positions helpful in releasing trigger/tender points. It was errand day yesterday and I was able to use the tool to keep my pain down to a dull roar. I used it like a head massage tool. I also used it on my hands, arms, and legs.All without fatiguing my hands then spending time sitting massaging my hands. Once while waiting in the car between errands, I even used it in the stress releasing position I had seen on videos and in the instruction .pdf I received in an email -- although I probably looked funny sitting parking spaces trying out the tool, I was quite happy with the results and if anyone had asked would have happily told them where to find one of their own! A few weeks ago I had a setback and had to drastically reduce my exercise and was unable to schedule massages -- not a great combination.. I frequently can have spasms in my hands, arms, shoulders. especially, when I am not on a steady schedule of massages and exercise. When I do not quickly change or end an activity that is causing the spasms to worsen, and begin to massage and work on the tender points, the spasms can become stronger and more widespread... Rebuilding my level of exercise and pain relief after a setback can be a long uncomfortably painful process. If yesterday was any indication of the massage tools adjunctive benefits, I have great hope for my return to normal activity levels sooner rather than later. I will update in a few weeks. How did I know about the tool? I stumbled across Dr. Berg on YouTube last year. I saw the massage tool, went to his website then put off buying the tool. I spend so much money trying to relieve pain, get healthier, perform more activities, that $40.00 to 50.00 plus shipping seemed like a lot to blow on something no one I know could vouch for being effective.... It surprisingly has remained on my list of things to try. An email update from Dr Berg caught my attention. It was for a webinar on sleep, pain, and stress.I know that the keys to a return to normalcy for me begin with better sleep, and reduced pain and stress. At the bottom of the email was a $10.00 off coupon. It was a pleasant surprise. I decided the massage tool would be a great Christmas present to myself. Last night I again used it in the stress releasing position and tried a few more positions I had seen in videos and the .pdfs. I was happy, 5 stars worth of happy with how good it felt.

I purchased this tool after seeing a YouTube video and I'm very pleased. I have been suffering with neck pain for months, which has been disruptive to my sleep. As claimed, when I use it before going to bed, I do sleep better! Also the tightness in my neck is relieved and I experience more flexiblity. Another thing I notice is my sinuses become clearer, making breathing easier. The only down side is there was no instructions in the box, although I received an email a day or so after it arrived. Luckily I had already seen the YouTube video and saw how to log into Dr. Berg's website, which contains a collection of helpful videos showing exactly how to use the tool, but if I wasn't already aware of these online resources, I might have been confused about how to use it. Otherwise, I have no complaints. It's a good product.

I have bought acupressure canes several different types and designs and this one seems to really help. I had fallen and hurt my arm and shoulder (rotator cuff). It helps in different areas like calves, around knees and of course spine areas and neck. It would be great for use on someone receiving a total full body massage(they will love you!) Just be careful and learn how to use it. It is very powerful and takes some careful experimentation to learn to unlock its full capabilities.I love mine so much that I’ve bought one for a friend in his 70’s and lots of muscle pains and I’m hoping it will help him. I could now throw away most of the massage tools or give them away. If you get one take the time to learn how to use it. Is has good weight and heft that most of the pressure point massage tools don’t have. You have to play around with it. Amazon Prime vendors give you 30 day trial to figure out wether it’s for you.I don’t often get excited like this but this tool is giving me some real relief and saving me a lot of money in the long run.

I have pain underneath my ribs on my back and this is the best tool I have found to release it! You can use it on the couch, against a wall, or on the floor. The different size knobs are great for getting different areas on neck and back. Great for the soreness at the base of the skull as well. I have taken it on long car rides and you can put it between the seat and your back. Overall phenomenal product, worth it being overpriced due to its unique shape and ability to help with areas that are otherwise hard to reach.

I wanted to give this four stars because for me it worked great but for my wife she could never get the hang of using it by herself. It does work in the sense that if you put it in the right spots and hold it there it really does relieve your stress and help you sleep. But on the other hand trying to get it into the spots you need it and holding it there without someone else helping you is what becomes difficult if you're not familiar with how to do this. I do like dr. Berg's videos and he has very good knowledge of how to use this tool but trying to use it by yourself without any knowledge becomes difficult. For me I like the product very much it relieves my stress at night and I am asleep within minutes after taking it off. It worked for both me and my wife but since my wife cannot use it on her own it is not worth the money for me to keep it it was more for her than for me. So now I have to give the massage each night to her in order for her to sleep well. And my fingers and thumbs hurt. I think if there were rubber balls at the ages of the tripods it would help secure enough in a place because it kept sliding upper down when she would put it on the chair or on the headboard of our bed. I personally think she would just not motivated to use the product to relieve her own stress. But for me I think it's a great product.

Okay, I waited and waited to order this. I thought it was too expensive and did not know if it would work on me. At Christmas or Black Friday, there was a discount on the Dr Berg website and then I discovered that amazon had it at a lower price or cheaper shipping or both. Can't remember. So I purchased the massage tool. It is the best thing in the world for me for relaxing those neck aches. I use it before sleep and have fallen asleep with is still on my neck. I find that each person has to find the best way to put the tool on the neck. What I tell my son and what I do are not going to be the same. My pillow is higher and I have a lot of pillows. My son has only one flat pillow. So we both use it differently. I follow the directions in the video and it helps me to find my achy parts of my neck. I also do the lower back by the device by just moving it to the most comfortable position. It varies by day and how I'm lying down. The important thing for me is to not put it where it really hurts. I only put it where there is pain and wait a little while maybe 20 or 30 seconds and as I am using the device, I can feel the muscles just loosening with each second. For me, the is the best invention. I LOVE it, Dr BERG. You are wonderful and you wife it so cute. Loved the video with her demo on the bread and her apron. I guess that it's too late to get the Advanced Pain Book for free. But if I'm not, please send it to me. I love to everything you say because it always helps me with my health. You are Gifted! The massage device is really worth the money. I will never be away from it. I use it before sleep and sometimes before waking up and sometimes during the day. If you are thinking of purchasing it, I would try it. Then find the video's that demonstrate how to use them. It will be in the instruction booklet that comes with it. I tell all of my friends about it as well.

I have a bunch of these. I pack it for my travels around the world. I use it daily as well at home. I deal with chronic pain and this and a foam roller are life savors for me.

What a great tool. I was able to reduce a tight muscle on my upper back all on my own. I’m still learning all the features but so far I love it.

جميلة وتريح الرقبة وتساعد على الاسترخاء

It is very good tool, it helps me like pain killer,

I hesitated buying this because of it’s price but finally gave in and i’m so glad i did. Lots of pain relief for my neck and engages my parasympathetic nervous system. Also work well along the spine for muscle relief and in the shoulders for scapula tension.

The price is completely unreasonable, an overpayment for the Dr. Berg brand. The plastic is quite good quality, but I can't say that this thing is truly functional.
