I bought this combo because it was cheaper than getting both separately. I find that to be true for many of the items sold from Body Back Company. So if you are interested in a couple of items, I would encourage you to search for bundles. Anyways, the BBB is a great tool, but I won't elaborate on it here (see my other reviews for a review of that item).

The accumassager is great for what it does, but somewhat limited in scope. I found that its primarily useful for the neck and shoulders. The two golf-ball like attachments are actually made of a soft rubber, which is good because it grips your muscles relatively well and feels better than a hard point of contact. They are also adjustable so you can move them along the device depending on what you want to target (i.e., closer together for neck and further apart for shoulder or legs). The limitation, as you can probably imagine, is that it is primarily designed to be a squeezing/kneading device. I would recommend this if you have neck/shoulder tension that can be relieved with a straightforward squeezing and limited kneading motion. Having said that, you can definitely get a lot of leverage with the device so you get a deep knead with not too much effort.

This def helps more than I thought it would! After doing some research on how the trigger points work, it really did make a big difference.

The "Body Back Buddy" is awesome beyond belief, and you don't need to ask for anyone's help -- all by yourself you can relieve the tight muscles in your body. As far as the "AccuMassage" it was just OK.

I got these a few weeks ago and they work great. The Accumassage is great for the neck and shoulder area. The Back Buddy can get any sore spot on your body. I highly recommend these.

These products comes in handy for me after spending long hours on my computer. I can get to those hard to reach knots on my neck, shoulder and back to bring instant relief!

These feel great and do a great job if you can't afford a masseuse to work out your kinks. I had 2 issues that cause the downgrade to 4 stars. One is that the body back buddy is slightly too small for me. I am 6'1" with long arms and I feel a bit constricted using it. I think there is a larger model available and recommend anyone over 6 foot go for that instead. The other problem is that the end cap on the accumassage just pops off very easily. I'll probly wind up putting some epoxy in there to keep it on tite.

My physical therapist had recommended the Back Buddy to me.

I didn't order it because I thought it looked too bizarre and strange.

(My loss!)

Now that I don't live near her anymore, I ordered it out of desperation. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Back Buddy and seriously don't know how anyone could do without one.

The AccuMassage--ehhh. I'm lukewarm on it. Haven't found it to be as valuable as other folks have said it is. The Back Buddy really takes care of anything on the neck and shoulders way better than the AccuMassage, but I'm not too upset--the set wasn't a bad deal hear on Amazon. But I really didn't need both.

The AccuMassage is a great way to easily put pressure on tight neck muscles to get them to release. The Body Back Buddy has more knobs & a great tip on one end that is angled in to better put pressure and pull on tight large muscles along the spine so it has more functions than the Theracane which I had been using for years. The hook ends are a little small for a big guy like me (6', 220 lbs.) but I can still get to the tight spots, but I wouldn't buy one if you are any bigger than I am. My wife likes this one a lot better than the Theracane. The Body Back Buddy seems to be available at a lower price than the Theracane.

The AccuMassage is probably the best money I have ever spent! My neck and shoulder muscles are very painful and stay very tight. This had immediate results. The Back Buddy is terrific for trigger points. When I started using it I did not realize how many painful trigger points I had in my back. This really helped ease the pain.

Still use the Squeeze device. And yeah it helps. Only way it could be better is it have a little longer handles with light bend to them.
