LOCKEROOM Pocket Physio MAX - Deep Muscle Trigger Triangle, Pressure Point Release, Relieve Muscle Knots and Spasms, Non Slip, Latex Free, Black

I have a very stressful desk job which tends to manifest in tight shoulders, neck pain and migraine (my bad posture doesn’t help either). This was recommended by a friend to help release the muscles, and I have to say I was extremely dubious about an odd-looking black rubber triangle.I was less impressed still when this strange looking heavy lump turned up.Still I persevered and then realised why it was heavy duty, it needs to be to bounce off the walls without damage when you throw it. Boy do you know when you get it in the right place, It hurts !.Its just the right weight to be stable on the floor and the heavy duty rubber has just enough give to stop it bruising the skin whilst remaining rigid enough to do its stuff in the deep muscle.All in all, it does a brilliant job at releasing those muscles as long as you realise this will and should hurt. I’ve been using it about three times a week for the last month and its helped with my breathing, the stiffness in my upper back and the tension in my shoulders and back. Its also helping with a trapped nerve in one arm.To be fair the pain lessens as you continue to treat yourself and the muscles aren’t so solid, but every now and then your body will surprise you with a point that will make your eyes water and this rubber triangle fly !Ive used it when im getting a migraine (mine are caused by my neck muscles and trapped nerves rather than anything else) and whilst it hasn’t stopped them, it has lessened their severity and shortened their duration.Plus I get to throw it when it really hurts !What more do you want from a product, its a wonderful torture device that I wonder how I ever did without, right size, right consistency, virtually unbreakable. Highly recommend.

This item was recently introduced to me and I have to say I am very happy with it. Excellent , it really does the trick, it gets into points that I cant reach. I find this very effect for getting into points which my spiky ball wasn't as effective or doing the trick. Granted both items have their uses. I would highly recommend this product. 5*****

Does the job for accessing tricky trigger points.

Love this! Hits all the trigger points when used correctly. Takes a bit of time to find the pressure points but its very effective.Great invention :)

Oh I wish I had found this years ago! Suffering from back pain for eight years I have had lots of physiotherapy which never seemed to really get "my" pain.With this tool I have spend hours in the last months exploring my painful spots and been able to relieve some of it. As my problems have been going on for years and I have very tight muscles, it takes my trigger points much longer than normal to respond to treatment, longer than any therapist can afford to spend on them. Plus, lying on the floor on this big version of the Pocket Physic, I have been able to really reach trigger points in deep lying muscles (quadratus lumborum), significantly better than any physiotherapist (most of them haven't even been able to locate these spots) or any other tool I have used before (different sized massage balls, foam roller, or the "normal" Pocket Physio).Be warned, the pain is intense. It is no miracle tool, I personally need to spend a lot of time on it and use it on a daily basis. Experience, research and professional advice is necessary to find out where to use it.I wholeheartedly recommend this product!

Great little tool for getting out knots in muscles where the normal lacrosse ball wont go deep enough.Allows you to really pin point where you want the pressure to to it not rolling around like a lacrosse ball.the chart it comes with is useful for finding pressure points if you want to use it to its potential.However at first they are painful to work out with time it gets less and less painful

The tack makes it perfect for resting your phone on. Also works well as a massager. Love putting it on the wall and getting my back spots.

I bought this product over other ones due to the positive reviews and it hasn't disappointed at all. For what it is, a rubber pyramid, it is slightly over priced at £10, but because of its effectiveness at relieving sore/tight muscles it is well worth the investment.The only drawback with this product is you'll need to lie down and use body weight to get the full effects. It's great for sore hips, tight shoulders/neck and relieving sore lower back.

I love the Pocket Physio Max! It’s much better than using a lacrosse ball. I love the design of this tool as the point is great for getting deep into the muscle. I think the max is the ideal size for bigger areas such as your back. I would love to have the smaller, travel sized one too for my neck. I think my only complaint is how expensive they are.

Didnt have super high expectations but was determined to find some kind of relief from this spasm running from my neck down to below my left shoulder blade. This knot was like a rock hard tube of rubber that no matter how much theragun, ice, icyhot, emu oil etc got used, it would not release. Used the physio max on the spot and instantly half my back went into a twitch fest for about 3-5mins of all the muscles in the scapula and between the shoulder blade and spine waking up and twitching. Def works great on the persistent/nothing else has worked muscles. I just laid down on it for about 10mins and my back feels the best it has in months, still some more points need releasing but, I can actually feel my shoulder again getting some oxygen/blood flow instead of the squeezing dull achey dying muscle feeling of the chronic spasm that I live with daily due to scoliosis issues. So glad I now have a tool like this to assist with those insane, right between the shoulders spasms. Best way to use it while on the couch or in bed I have found is with a textbook behind you for support. When used with a textbook or a cutting board, it can't sink into the couch or pillows as much and can be used while laying down comfortably instead of just on the floor. I fell asleep with it under my shoulder the other night and a good eight hours on the knots, I can finally look left to right without feeling like there is glass in my neck and shoulder. I also recommend taking it in the car for driving. I do deliveries and because I hold the steering wheel mainly with my left arm, it gets tighter but with the tool under the shoulder blade my whole shift, the muscles simply can't get all spasmed up like they usually would. It also helps to keep bottles of water in the freezer and alternate between the lockeroom tool and a rock hard frozen bottle of water. The frozen water bottle helps get the inflammation down and can also be used as a roller on the spasm while freezing it and reducing swelling simultaneously. Then if you have the heat wraps that you can microwave, use those for a half hour, then use lockeroom tool again. Worked great for me, woke up today with back loosened up and 95% pain free vs. before I got this tool, I looked like a bear, trying to rub and crack my back on anything pointy nearby for some relief. If not sure about getting it, can always try it for the cost since it's cheaper than almost all other pain relief options and unlike a cream that runs out constantly, this thing will probably last my whole lifetime since it is pretty heavy duty and solid. I don't think I'll need another muscle pain reliever device ever again so I am very pleased with the overall value of this purchase.

Aufgrund des gummierten Materials hält der Pocket Physio gut an der Wand. Super um an Stellen auf dem Rücken heranzukommen, wo man sonst nicht hin kommt.Schont die Finger.
