5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for shoulders and neck, July 24, 2008

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 really wanted to like this, as I LOVE the full size BBB and often get pains in my neck and back at work. But it feels too springy, so it's not applying enough pressure. Plus, I can't use it on my inner shoulder blades. Nice to have for certain pains, but I would rather stash a full sized BBB under my desk.

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.
