LiBa Back and Neck Massager - Trigger Point Massage Tools for Pain Relief and Manual Massage Hook Therapy

This massager is so good. I had some horrible shoulder pain and this tool was perfect for helping relieve it. It really gets into those tight areas and lets you control the pressure exactly where you need it. I even let my friends try it, and they loved it so much they ordered their own. Such a simple but incredibly effective tool. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with muscle tension or trigger points. Read more

This is a great massage cane, but I will start with the thing I wish I'd done: I ordered the "B. Black" variant - but I had considered the "Detachable Black" variant since it was the same price, came with an orange removable massage ball, had more ridge bumps on the flat portion of the cane, and could be connected in an S-shape or a C-shape. However, I was worried that it might not be sturdy enough for my husband to use since the 2 pieces click together in the middle. So I ordered the standard "B. Black" variant, expecting it to be one piece. But it's not - it also clicks together in the middle. Now that I've received it, it is VERY STURDY and I am not worried at all that my husband might snap it while using it...so I wish I'd gotten the "Detachable Black" version. I think I misunderstood the intent of the descriptor "detachable" to mean the cane would come in 2 pieces, but since all the canes come in 2 pieces, I think they mean for it to refer to the orange detachable ball. Only the pictures for the "Detachable Black" showed the cane separated into 2 pieces, but now that I know what I'm looking at, I can see the clip and join spot on the other variants in the pictures, they just never show it apart. It's a bonus if you want to pack it for a trip or something, although I will say you need to be REALLY strong to unclip it. Maybe the "Detachable Black" one is easier to separate. Also, while the canes has 2 pieces, it can ONLY be connected in an S-shape, unlike the "Detachable Black" version. So just FYI. For the cane itself -- the plastic is very thick, hard & sturdy. The ball/nubs are not rubberized or soft, they are the same hard plastic. I don't find this to be a negative, but if you're using it for a rubbing motion across bare skin, it may cause some friction. For example, I have used the nub on the straight part of cane by dragging it up and down the length of my quad - with leggings no problem, but if I'm wearing shorts and doing that on bare skin it's less comfortable. Especially for the neck nubs, you may want to flip up the collar on your shirt or drape a thin towel or scarf over your neck first. The main advantage of this cane is the wide arc at the top. I tried and returned other products with a smaller arc because my 3XL husband could not fit them around his chest & shoulder to reach between his shoulder blades, but this cane fits great. It also works great for me, even though I'm smaller. The neck nubs are great for running up and down the back your neck and base of skull - really relieves tension. I have plantar fasciitis and find the small curve great for the bottom of the foot, and the large curve to hook over your shoulder and reach between the shoulder blades is excellent (what I was really looking for). It does come with an info sheet showing a few ways to hold it for different trigger points. Overall a really great massage cane! Read more

It’s nice and light weight for an older person to use. I like being able to use it with or without the ball. It seems very strong and sturdy. I haven’t used it while traveling yet but I really like the ability to do so. Read more

At this point, I think I have tried every affordable consumer product on the market for back stress/tension relief. Everything ranging from shiatsu massagers to percussion massagers to roller massagers to more expensive TENS units to ...well, you get the idea. They each work for some things and not others. And now I've got this strange looking device. It was more affordable than other similar items that I had found on Amazon. There are now three primary items in my arsenal of self back-massage/stress-relief tools in order of preference: This tool, tennis balls in an old sock (it's cheap, portable, and extremely effective), and a cheap lower back shiatsu massager that I've had for about 7 years. Seriously, this weird looking thing took the esteemed position previously occupied by an old sock with tennis balls stuffed into it. Why did I knock of a star? Because the neck knobs are too far apart for my neck. I have a long, slender neck, so this only does part of the job. As a result, this device is hard to use for my neck. I can imagine this device being used heavily by older folks whose bodies are falling apart who are just looking for some pain relief and many of those folks are also going to have slender necks and therefore experience similar difficulties. But for the back, which is generally hard to reach in the first place and where most stress knots form, oh man is this amazing. It requires very little arm strength to use to reach the most sensitive areas of the back and apply pressure. And since I am in complete control (unlike shiatsu, roller, and percussion massagers), the amount of pressure I apply is entirely up to me. The following tip is not in the instruction manual but totally should be: Focus on breathing deeply while using this device. The result is phenomenal near-instantaneous relief. When I'm not breathing deeply while using the device, it just doesn't seem nearly as effective. If you suffer irregular migraines and/or frequent headaches, this device and the tennis balls in a sock are now my two recommended solutions - previously my recommendation was just "tennis balls in an old sock" to which I got lots of strange looks. Also, look at how you sleep at night. I used to get splitting headaches 3 to 4 times per week (they were pretty debilitating and miserable) and then I finally figured out my head was compressing badly while I slept, so I found a pillow that raised up my neck which fixed that core problem. I was still left with occasional stress headaches, which is where self-massage tools like this one come in. They work out the knots before they become a serious problem. Structurally, this device is made of a single solid piece of dense plastic. The amount of pressure needed to use it properly is nowhere near the amount of pressure that would be needed to break it. With general care, it should last several lifetimes. Overall, it is good, solid construction that feels very sturdy. In a pinch (e.g. a home invasion), it could be used as a defensive weapon.

After seeing so many options for this type of item at much higher prices, I chose this one and I am very pleased. It is strong and durable and serves its purpose well. The price is very affordable. It snaps together very easily. Read more

This item is so incredibly simple to use, yet extremely effective. Like many others I have tight spots in my neck, shoulders and back. I have a theragun but it’s not the best for hard to reach areas as I can’t get the pressure as hard as I want. This simple device allows me to press as hard as I want in extra troublesome areas. Would recommend! 10/10. Read more

I purchased this because I gave my first one away to someone who really needed it. It worked great on my pressure points, and is now working on my sons. If nothing else has worked for you, definitely give this a try. Read more
