Hurts so Good!
First, let me start by encouraging those of you who hate firm pressure on painful knots to avoid this product. But for those of you who realize that pressure on knotted muscles brings a release of the tension and pain and are able to withstand the pain for the greater good, this product is what you've been looking for your whole life! I've tried those back massagers that go in circles (they look like massaging boobs) and they drive me crazy because I need a steady pressure to release knots in my back and neck. This product is amazing for that! Not only does it help stretch your neck, but it also releases the built-up tightness there. I like to reposition myself on my side or turn my head to change the pressure points around (to get to all the knots). It hurts initially, but after a few minutes of pain, it solves the problem of my cramping neck and back and ongoing tension headaches. I've never found a better product and love how firm the balls are (that pressure is needed to force the tension to release).
I recommend soaking in an Epsom salt bath afterwards to release the toxins from your muscles and avoid sore muscles later. Next, drink lots of extra water a
because massages release liquid from your muscles and dehidration causes headaches.
