I used this the day of work out, and the two days following. It does really help break up the tissue and knots. Works my chest the best for me personally. It reduces the recovery time for me. I do get tired of using it so i did upgrade to a massage gun. For something cheap and for travel this is perfect though.I've used many plastic massage tools such as this one, but this is by far one of the best. The design is stable and made from a thick plastic, which makes it difficult to break (I have broken plenty of hand-held plastic massage things). I use my body weight with the massage tool by placing it on the problem area of my back then laying on it while on a bed or couch. The flat surface on the massage tool keeps it from breaking unlike the others that break quite easily.We bought this massager as I am less than a month away from delivering our first baby. We took a child birthing class at our hospital and while going over different techniques to help during labor, the instructor recommended a similar item to this and we tried it out. My lower back pain has been pretty terrible the further along I get in this pregnancy, and my poor husband's hands/fingers wear out from giving me back rubs. This was obviously the best solution, and for less than 10 bucks I was all for it. I tried it out immediately and I am in love. My husband quickly learned not to press as hard as he would with his fingertips, since it is easy to overdo it with this, but it feels SO good. It is packed in the hospital bag and ready to go, and is definitely one of those invaluable tools that I think will prove to be perfect when the time comes and hopefully save my husband from hurting himself to make me feel better! If I could change one thing I would probably make it a little bigger in the section your hand lays across, but it is not too small - hubby has decent-sized hands and does not have any issues holding onto it.My in laws had one of these that they bought many years ago in a close out store. I was so excited when I found it on Amazon because I had such fond memories of my back massages from their house. Now that I'm pregnant I need it more than ever but surprisingly haven't used it a lot. I like the color and it looks just like the picture. Texture is hard plastic, similar to a hard plastic shot glass. It feels great on my back and my husband doesn't mind running it down my back because it takes very little effort on his part but the friction on my shirt is uncomfortable and straight on my back hurts (unless I use copious amounts of lotion). Can't complain though, and the price was excellent. (I would give 4.5 stars if possible, just not a full 5 stars because it doesn't run smoothly.)Awesome! My boyfriend loves getting massages and I don't really mind giving them. The only issue is that my small hands get very tired. With this thing, I can give longer massages since its doing most of the work for me. Its great! I just apply some pressure and massage oil and its gravy! I took off one star though because its kind of small even for my small hands that when pushing down my hand still touches the skin and gets oil all over it. I hate having oily hands so that sucks, but that sounds like a ME problem and not the product itself. LOL!Solid and gets the job done for the most part. The only caveat being that you can't get even pressure on someone's back because in one direction, two legs are one side and one is on the other. This is because if you orient it the other way, the center leg pushes on the spine because it's right in the middle. I guess that's what I should have expected from a three-legged massage tool. If there is a four-legged version, I would have purchased it, but I couldn't find it. Otherwise, this is one is fine.Can't really say much more about this product than what's already been said! These fit PERFECTLY in our hands, and allow us to go deeper without much effort at all, with the design giving you a surprising amount of leverage. Sometimes just one nub feels awesome (as when my wife goes DEEP under my shoulder at that burning "mouse-use bump" that I get); and at other times, it feels great to have all 3 nubs going at once across your back and butt for a little well-earned tension and stress relief. :) The ONLY negative (not really) is that they are so smooth that they will sometimes disappear into the folds of our couch. LOL. Phenomenal product, though. HIGHLY recommend getting a few of them just so you have one in reach. More touching, in my opinion, means fewer wars in the world.I bought this for my girlfriend to use on her and for her to use on me (more so the latter), which has worked out well. That said I now use the product much more on myself as I'm a runner and this is great for working out knots in your calves when sitting down and watching TV. I also use a roller but this is an awesome product to get really deep. I really like the grooves for your fingers/thumbs above each node and the fact they are different sizes. The size of the product is great as it will fit in a suitcase without a second thought. Great massager for both light and deep massaging by either a partner or self.Very good quality! 3つの突起はそれぞれ大きさが少し違う。 そしてその背面には、親指をあてがうためのくぼみがある。 これを掌に握り、拇指を添えると指圧サポートの装具のような状態になる。 親指(第1関節)が反るか反らないかは生まれつきで、反らない人の指には過度の負担がかかるがこのグッズはそれを解消してくれる。 ただし押される側は、プラスティックなのであたりは固く、痛みは強めだろう。 指を鍛えていない素人の方が、強めに筋肉を押したい、強くほぐしたい場合にも良いと思う。
