Product Reviews of TheraCane
Product Review: TheraCane
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love the TheraCane! I am a dental hygienist, and I develop painful muscle knots in my shoulder. Now I am able to massage away the knot and eliminate the pain myself rather than pay big bucks for a massage therapist. This is a must for clinicians in dentistry!Product Review: The BEST product I've ever used for muscle pain!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Theracane is by FAR the most effective thing I've used to treat my chronic sore muscles and knots across my middle and upper back!! I've tried heated vibrating pads, self massage, massage therapists, a chair pad with those circular rollers, and those patches that heat up when you apply them to your skin. Absolutely nothing compares to this. I've had chronic pain for probably 10 years, and just in the few days I've had this, I am so impressed with its effectiveness. I have what feels like rocks between my shoulder blades and across the top of my back, and applying this pressure just really works them out, by applying direct pressure for several seconds to loosen the knot and then also using a small back and forth movement over the area. I feel so much lighter after using it. And now I don't have to bother my boyfriend and try to convince him how much I really need a massage. :) I've been using it several times per day for about 5 minutes each time and I absolutely love it. WELL worth the money, I wish I would have known about it years and years ago!! Product Review: EFFECTIVE MUSCLE /KNOT/TENSION refief
Summary: 5 Stars
So useful and effective..takes the knots right away and if you have the book TRiggeR POINT Therapy or another trigger point reference info, you can feel so much better in minutes!! It is better than the s shaped one , easy to grip
and even if you are a 98 lb weakling like me,you still have enough strength to use this..it is your body weight predominately or a bit of a stretch that cause a nice deep pain/strain relief.
WORTH every penny.
Product Review: Really awesome to reach your knots
Summary: 4 Stars
The Theracane is well designed to reach your muscle knots. Most of my neck pain is gone after using it and Where my pain was constant it now intermittant and not debilitating. The cane is very sturdy. It lost a star because it is so costly but it is well worth the investment. You'll better understand the phrase "hurts so good." I would recommend the trigger point book by Clair Davies to go along with it. This book The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Editionis well written and it truly helps you understand reference of pain so you locate the proper knots. Product Review: Works Great! Looks...uhh, weird.
Summary: 5 Stars
Right now, I've got five self massage tools, four of them recommended by therapists: a foam roller, various rubbery balls from sports that I don't play, a plastic roller encased in a handy grip, a vibrating heat pad for car/chairs (not recommended by anybody including me) and the theracane. The theracane is the most effective, period. It is easy to use. The foam roller is an OK. The roller is good for large areas like my back but awkward for many other areas. Unfortunately, it takes such a long time to roll out cramps in my back that I start to pick up cramps in my arms and legs from supporting myself. I compromise by loosening up with a bit of rolling and using the cane for the heavy duty work. The cane lets you really use your muscles to hit spots, even the ones you can reach with your hands, so it is much more effective plus it saves wear and tear on your hands.
I received the theracane and started using it immediately with the help of the enclosed booklet. My stiff knee started to loosen with the first session and six days later I noticed I had stopped limping. I had ordered the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clare and Amber Davies to go with the cane. It arrived 3 days later because of a long weekend. The book was very helpful. I had a vague idea of which points to start with because I could feel the knot in the big muscle in the calf but the workbook is very precise and now I'm working on some of the smaller hidden muscles.
I also tried some of the other sections in the workbook. I have TMJ but it's not really a problem. My jaw gives the occasional click with no pain. I tried some of the trigger points and after one session, one side of my jaw is click free! The other side still clicks slightly. Sigh, there is no magic bullet. I guess I'll have to repeat that section.
Overall, the theracane massager with the workbook is better than the run-of-the-mill masseuse. You'll need someone very well-trained to do a better job.
