Have you have experience a muscle knot in your upper back area- if you could reach it and place some pressure on the area, you would get some relief. Too many times this happens. Painful trigger points could be in your upper back, midback, neck or lower back.
There is a device called the Theracane Massager that can help to reach difficult areas of pain. It works by adding pressure (that you apply) to muscles and increase oxygenated blood flow to the area. The pressure that you apply helps to loosen up the muscle by breaking up adhesions in individual muscle fibers.
One of the best places I found that this works wonders is in between the shoulder blades, in the upper trapezius muscle and in the shoulders at the top.
You can use the theracane at home, or at work. I would recommend that you apply an ice pack right after using it, especially if you use a lot of pressure on the muscles. Read the accompanying manual – I assure you that you will be surprised at all the ways it can be used for pain relief.
Use the Theracane for upper back muscles that you are not able to reach yourself easily.
Great for mid back and lower back pain trigger points that may be hard to reach.
Easy to Use at Home or at Work. Apply as much pressure as you are able to handle.

Happy Memorial Day 2014
The Therecane is also great for the neck, digging straight down and into it. For those stressful days where you’re rushing to finish work and your shoulders and neck tense, it helps as you mentioned to get the blood flowing there again.
While I’m sitting at my desk, I use my Muscle Wizard all the time because its hands-free. You should also take a look at that tool! I got mine as a Christmas gift and have loved it ever since.

Sometimes it is hard to get a muscle knot because it hard to reach. The upper back and shoulders is one example of this. These are chronic areas of trigger point formation as well. Happy to hear that the theracane can help you in everyday life. Thanks for submitting your comment.
