 Very helpful for shoulders and neck Jul 25, 2008
By Sonphos
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. :)

Great Portable Trigger Point Tool Jan 02, 2010
By A. E Heald
I got this with the larger BBB, and have found this to be much more useful than the larger sized one. I travel a fair amount, so being able to take one with me has been great.
I have found it to be very sturdy, and use the non-pointed end for my neck massage. I can't imagine using it for a back scratcher!

 eh Dec 13, 2010
By Reg
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.

 Good for travel, but no substitute for a big one Nov 09, 2007
By KV Trout
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.

 I could have gotten the same out of a broken plastic hangar Dec 09, 2010
By Ultrasound Diva
I purchased this at the same time I purchased a larger back massager. I was going to keep this one at home and the other at the hospital where I work. Okay, number one, this product is too small to do any good. Number two, the little nubs are sharp. It actually hurts to use it. I didn't even give it to my favorite charity; I threw it out.
