Recommended by doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists and trainers for use with back pressure points, neck pressure points, and shoulder pressure points. The Back Buddy is medically recommended to alleviate common muscle pain.
Many physical therapists often advise patients to use soft or firm balls to work out stubborn muscle knots or trigger points to alleviate localized back pain. The Back Buddy has a patented design that allows for the “dual ball” interior to be adjusted based on your exercise, pain point, or body shape. The Back Buddy is amazingly simple and can be used nearly anywhere including home, office, gym, or on the go in the car or plane. Long travel has never been so pain-free.
The Back Buddy is perfect for professions where sitting for long periods of time are required.
The Back Buddy is simple, but well-engineered with proprietary designs that allow for maximum versatility to relive back pain with trigger point massage techniques and exercises.
3 components to success:
The Flex Sleeve
The patented secret sauce that was designed with help of chiropractic and pain relief leaders in the industry. The Back Buddy Flex Sleeve allows you to loosen and tighten the Dual Support balls to your desired needs.
Dual Support Balls
Each Back Buddy has two firm compression balls that smoothly penetrate the muscle tissues in your neck, back, shoulders, legs, and even feet. Trigger point therapy has been an age-old technique with using the pressure of spheres and balls – Back Buddy has perfected this support and relief.
Back Buddy Gripper
The Back Buddy gripper is used to hold your Back Buddy in place, reposition with convenience, or modify the shape of the Back Buddy to a form that best fits your need. See how the Back Buddy Gripper is used in our video series to modify the shape and position of the dual support balls.
