Description

Instructional DVD for a massage tool called the Body Back Buddy (BBB)  The content of this DVD is okay.  It shows some basic techniques on how people can use the BBB.  I’m sharing this because I think the BBB is a nice tool. If you don’t own a Body Back Buddy, the video won’t be of great use, but it will give you a good idea of what a BBB is, how it is used, and whether it would be worth buying one.  If you do buy one, this upload will save you $5 that you would have had to pay to buy the DVD.There is a similar massage product named the Thera Cane Massager.  I own both a Body Back Buddy and a Thera Cane. They are both good products, with a somewhat different feel to them.  It’s hard to recommend one product over the other because it will be a matter of personal preference.  Sort of like choosing Coke or Pepsi.  For someone new to using one of these things, I would suggest getting a Thera Cane. The Thera Cane is smaller and has less knobs. It’s not as intimidating, and looks less weird if your girlfriend finds it in your closet.  The BBB has a knob that looks a lot like the shape of a penis.  … But then again, maybe you could use it with your girlfriend when she is feeling freaky. Hope this helps someone.http://www.amazon.com/Body-Back-Buddy-Instructional-DVD/dp/B…http://www.amazon.com/Body-Back-10100000003-Buddy/dp/B0006VJ…http://www.amazon.com/Thera-Cane-JMAS5000-Massager/dp/B000PR…———————————————————–This popular design reflects years of feedback from massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. With 11 therapy knobs, the Body Back Buddy stimulates in between muscles and pinpoints trigger points for a more finely-tuned treatment. Engineered to be lightweight, strong and easy to use. Combines the best of the Body Back Buddy features for those who want the ultimate self massage tool. Overall length is 25 . Comes with a free 12 page instruction booklet. Directions: Hook the Body Back Buddy massage tool over your shoulder or around your side to treat hard to reach areas of the back, neck and shoulders. Hold it comfortably by the handles or the frame so that the therapy knob touches the affected muscle. Push away from your body with your lower or outside hand while guiding the therapy knob with the upper or inside hand. This leveraging technique creates self-directed pressure to the targeted muscle. You can also use the Body Back Buddy to apply healing pressure to many other parts of the body such as your legs, arms, feet, chest and hips. Its versatility allows you to approach each muscle from many angles in creative ways. Since there are hundreds of ways to use the Body Back Buddy, take a moment to experiment and find out what works best for you. Use it standing, sitting, lying down or with a partner. Place the therapy knob on the sore muscle (trigger point) and apply what you consider to be a comfortable amount of pressure. When this muscle compression is released it stimulates a therapeutic response. Pressure preferences vary from one person to another deep and intense or gentle and relaxing. However, only apply as much pressure as you feel comfortable with. More pressure is not necessarily better! Ten to thirty seconds is normally enough time to elicit a therapeutic response in the muscle.
