Back Deep Tissue Massager, Back Stretcher, Relieve Low Back Pain, Middle Back Pain and Sciatica, Athletes Muscle Recovery Tool

This product has provided me with immediate relief. You have to start low and slow. However, it’s impact cannot be denied. Be gentle with yourself and don’t overdo it the first go round. But I carve out a little bit of my time each day to use this product because it has made a difference..

This is the fourth LittleMum product I've tried and now in my top 2 favorites, though probably the one I use the most. (One I returned because I didn't find it helpful, so I don't love them all blindly. :) )I was particularly interested in this for targeting my middle-lower back muscles that are deeper and harder to reach with most tools. It took some time finding ways to use this and positioning myself right, but now that I've figured it out, I really, really like it. Remember to rest with pressure for the most effect.The back stretch side is great for a quick stretch and relief. It can often immediately adjust something to make things feel more in alignment.The neck/head massage parts are hit or miss for me. I have other tools that are better, and the rubber coating can pull on my hair. But if nothing else is around, it's nice to have this option.I don't find it to be the right position or depth for the iliopsoas release that it advertises. Other tools seem to be much more effective for me, especially when you can customize their positioning and targeting for your unique physiology. But it's quite possible this would work for some people.It's also small and light enough that I've been able to pack it in a carryon for a work trip, knowing the travel would likely put strain on my back.

Little mum never ceases to amaze me with every new product release. This is more than just a knot remover mobility tool, this is a necessity for everyone worldwide. I do high intensity interval training workouts everyday for exercise. My body gets sore in places I’m not aware of, until I start using little mum mobility tools. Thanks to this knot remover, I’m able to provide immediate relief for all of my sore muscles all over my body. This mobility tool remover is worth every single penny. The build quality and materials used is perfect in every way imaginable. I love it. Don’t hesitate. Buy this mobility tool immediately. Buy this as a gift for everyone you love. Especially fitness enthusiasts. They will love you forever. No exaggeration. I will continue to buy every variation they make of this tool. Absolutely amazing, thank you

I also bought one for the shoulders, but that one didn’t line up with my body. This one I can use in every way that it’s intended and get my back to crack and get my scalp taken care of and my neck. I turn it backwards. I turn it forwards.. I run it down my spine, my upper shoulders: more ways than they show examples of. It’s very capable of being used in a variety of ways and it brings relief. I recommend it.

If you have super tight muscles, this will help release them. It uses bodyweight to relax tight spots. It's similar to a masseuse putting pressure on a tight muscle to try to get it to release (which usually requires you to breathe into the discomfort and mentally try to relax the muscle to the resistance). I am not going to say this is better than a licensed & trained masseuse (it's not), but when you need something to help try to loosen a tight spot between appointments, this might be worth a try (I needed to hit deep muscles [such as the illiac & psoas] and a massage gun wasn't effective for them; it's also really hard to relax while trying to give yourself a massage).Sometimes my muscles are so tight, laying on this is painful (it typically isn't comfortable). I alleviate that by taking a yoga block and placing it near this device or at a critical weight support point (shoulder, tailbone, neck, etc.) using it to offset my full weight and then as my muscles relax to the pressure, slowly work the block out until my full weight is on the device. It does alleviate the discomfort and I can feel the muscles move more fluidly afterwards. I will not say this is for everyone. It is uncomfortable starting out & I know some people may not be able to relax onto it.Also there is an instruction booklet in the box on how to place it and use it.

I use this device all over my body. I have lots of knots and trigger points leading to chronic pain. This tool lets me hit multiple points at one time. It also allows me to reach places that are hard to reach. Cuts down on time spending realigning body so you can relax and work the next day. I love this tool. I even use it in bed when I am having neck pain and migraines. It is worth the price bc the quality is so good I won’t have to ever replace it.

Not at all helpful for my sciatica. Actually hurts to use it. Not at all padded. No real instructions how to use. Way overpriced.

Finally, after seven years in pain, I have found something that gives me relief along with another tool of theirs. Nothing on the market competes I've tried everything, I have an old injury from a car accident, which is a compression fracture. I'm trying to avoid surgery and this little thing has been a godsend. I wish I could afford everything they sell.
