Ease your aches and pains without hiring a professional masseuse with the TheraCane massager. The simple yet effective self-massager makes it easy to apply pain-relieving deep compression directly to hard, knotted trigger points anywhere they occur, breaking up tension even in the hardest-to-reach muscle areas. The TheraCane works by adding pressure to the muscles, which helps maximize the flow of oxygenated blood. This pressure aids in restoring muscle function by breaking up adhesions in muscle fibers and tensions, thus making the muscle work more efficiently. It's the perfect tonic for a recurring injury, a long day on the job, or an active afternoon in the garden. The TheraCane, which comes in hunter green, measures 24 by 15 by 1 inches (W x H x D), weighs 2 pounds, and carries a two-year limited warranty.
Product Description
Thera Cane self-massage device uniquely designed to apply pressure to sore muscles.

I've been using theracanes for about 10 years. Over the years I purchased a half dozen of them,not because they wear out, but to keep them handy when I need it. I keep one in each of my cars, and both tv rooms in my home. I know that sounds crazy, but this thing absolutely does miracles and I need to keep one close by.
I had neck surgery 11 years ago, and I suffer from constant neck pain that radiates from the very base of my skull down both sides of my neck, the muscles on either side, and into my shoulders. When my pain medication lets me down, I turn to my theracane. Once you learn how to use it properly, and I emphasize the word "properly" it is extremely effective at getting to the trigger points, and down to the very spot the pain originates from. Apparently, by messaging the exact spot, it gets the blood flowing through that spot, as if your doctor just injected a bit of cortisone into it. And even though it increases pain just by pressing on the spot,it "works out' the pain just by messaging it with the theracane. Believe me, it is effective and does work for the relief of muscle pain.
As an experience user of this little gadget, I caution anyone who has similar pain in the neck area to be really careful messaging around the spinal cord area, particularly after a laminectomy where some of the spinal support has been removed. If you slip with this by applying too much pressure, by pressing on those nerves around the spinal canal you could get severe shooting pains down the shoulders and arms. So be careful, even when you become accustomed to using it. I learned all this the hard way, because the pain management doctor that recommended this device to me failed to caution me in how to use it around area of my neck surgery.... Read more ›

One thing to remember when using this cane, that I learned through my own research, is that if you are having any kind of muscle pain then you might want to consider if it's the fascia that's locking in that muscle pain. Fascia is best described as a type of saran wrap that covers all of your muscles in your body. It can be damaged by many things, including prolonged sitting.
Anyways, you want to use this cane in a manner that goes in the opposite direction of the muscle. Example: the muscles in your legs run vertically so if your problem is in this area, then you should find a position on the floor where you can extend your leg and use short strokes horizontally on the trouble spot. Pull a little bit like you would when you stretch then release. You have to probe around to find where the spot on your body is where the fascia is crosslinked. If this is what the problem is then you will know because it is almost painful when you pull it at first in the opposite direction. Work at it a few nights a week, not too much at first. Best done when the muscles are warm(after a shower or use a hotpack) then stretch out the area The muscle can't be stretched properly without breaking these crosslinks.
After you break the crosslinks you need to stretch EVERY night to make sure that the muscles don't crosslink again, especially if you have a job where you sit down all day. In as little as a week they can start to re-form.
I have done a lot of personal research on the web because I wasn't getting very many positive results from any of the professionals that I saw. I worked on myself and now I have no more of that nagging pain that use to run down my right leg.... Read more ›

I've had episodes of upper back pain for years and tried many things including pain killers, heat, ice, massage, stretching, but they only offered temporary relief at best. The pain would last for days on end. Theracane helped me apply stong, precise pressure on the tender points -- something that is almost impossible to do otherwise. It helped relieve and shorten the duration of the pain. If you have similar pain due to myofascial trigger points, Theracane might help you too.

I love the thera cane! I've had muscle-related back problems for over 10 yrs. However, the last 2 yrs have been really bad. I've done chiropractor, massage, acupuncture and nothing stuck - plus I got tired of spending all that money on them. The first time I used the thera cane I almost cried!! Within about 20 minutes I was completely pain free. It's been such a long time since I could move around w/o pain. Although the pain came back, with each session it gets less and the pain-free time gets longer. I believe I've broken the cycle. I just used it in the morning before work, then after work and then before bed. If your pain is muscle-related, the thera cane is well worth it!!

Wow! I have used every sort of massage device known to man and this thing is the last such implement i will ever have to buy. No power cord, no batteries, and no BS!
Just zoom into those trigger points and grind away. You can really apply an incredible amount of pressure very precisely. I'll find myself with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. It just "hurts so good" when you hit those deep down knots.
If you regularly struggle with myofascial pain, muscular tension, or similar problems then immediately buy a Thera Cane. It will be the best investment you ever made.
I just wish i had gotten turned on to this thing earlier. It would have saved a lot on all the ineffective items I bought through the years trying to solve my pain.

It does what you would think it does. I bought it for my scapula, like most men, and it hits that spot great. Other people have bought one because they liked it so much.

Thera Cane? More like Thera AWESOME!
I get very tight in my trapezius muscles and the theracane makes it very easy to work out the knots independently.
I've shared it with my clients and they're all hooked too.

Thera Cane
Bought this to replace an older one that was given to my family. This version is not as
thick or has as many pressure point knobs as the older one but works very well.

Not very sturdy.
The one they have at my fitness center is much more sturdy. This one is not rigid, which makes it less comfortable to use.
