Product Description
This trigger point massager is very compact and easy to use. You can fit the massager in your purse, small travel bag or desk. Release the exact point where you feel pain, stress or strain. By varying the amount of pressure applied and the angle at which it is directed, YOU can release tight, spastic, knotted muscles.
This feels so awesome on the “tight” muscles in your back & shoulders… without having to ask assistance from anyone else. I highly recommend.

This is a GREAT little tool for on the go. I go to school and study quite a bit, so my neck is always and forever getting knots in it. This little handy device can be taken on the go, such as in my school bag and i can use it in between classes! The only thing i’m not too crazy about is that it slips easily over clothing. It would be nice if you could have some sort of anti-slip end to it. Otherwise, NO complaints!

I have the large Back Buddy, which I like, but it is cumbersome and difficult to take with me. I can easily take this little tool anywhere I go, and can use it while sitting at my desk, reading, etc.
The previous reviewer mentioned that it she thought it might break, but it seems to me to be very sturdy. I have no fear of it breaking from normal use, and I press down pretty hard with it at times.
If you find relief from pressing pressure points, and don’t want to have to bother with a huge tool, order this little one. You’ll find it both effective and handy to use and take with you.
The only con I find is that the knob is pointed rather than rounded. It’s still effective, but I think I’d prefer a rounded knob, like is on its big brother.
An extra bonus to this little gadget is the back scratcher at the other end, which is very effective in relieving an itchy back.

I am hesitant to say anything because for all I know this thing might be really strong and never break…. BUT, the fact is, it FEELS like it is going to break!
I have one of the big “Back buddies” with like 10 knobs on it for massaging various parts of the body, and it is awesome! VERY sturdy and you have no fear of it breaking.
Granted, this is a tiny portable tool, and as I said, for all I know it may be made of some really miraculous plastic that will never break. But it certainly does not give me confidence that it won’t break. Every time I use it I expect it to snap as I am digging down into the knots in my shoulders and back.
If possible, I will revisit this review in 6 months and if it hasn’t broken by then, I will raise my review to 5 stars, because it IS a nice thing to have with me when I’m away from home, at work, or on the road.
And if it breaks, I will reduce my review to 1 star.

I got this with the larger BBB, and have found this to be much more useful than the larger sized one. I travel a fair amount, so being able to take one with me has been great.
I have found it to be very sturdy, and use the non-pointed end for my neck massage. I can’t imagine using it for a back scratcher!
