If you always have knots in your shoulders or your back muscles, and it’s impossible to get at them without a trained massage therapist, you might want to pick up a Theracane.
I’ve had one for a couple years, and, though they are a tad funky looking, they are great for getting at trigger points behind your shoulders. (Trigger points may cause anything from local soreness to referred pain and can be responsible for chronic headaches, neck and back pain, and even hand or foot issues such as RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome; if any of those twinges sound familiar, definitely check out The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition).
“The Thera Cane is a deep pressure massage device which can be used to gently massage tender points in the muscles. The user can easily massage any part of the body by using one of the six strategically placed projections. A minimal amount of arm movement and gentle pressure is all that is needed for effective treatment.”
At $25, the gadget costs less than even a single trip to the massage parlor.
