First, the Jacknobber is made of hardened, smooth clear plastic (may be a diff material) and it is made in the USA. It has four pressure points of different sizes, I use the bigger ones to apply pressure to areas on my neck and shoulder and instantly feel it working on trigger points. You can massage or simply apply pressure to your trigger points to relieve some of your pain. I suggest holding the jacknobber down for about 20 seconds on trigger points or slowly slide up and down on larger areas you are working on. My wife has used it on me and I on her. We both have felt a huge difference compared to other products we've used. I like the fact that it is so smooth, it slides on your skin with ease, without the need to use lotion or balms. You can still use some, but I don't think you'll need to. The Jacknobber is compact, light and very strong. I can't really see it snapping off. A great, well made product. Give it a try, but be patient and do it right. You might need more than just a few sessions/tries. This product is not intented to cure or resolve medical issues you maybe having. I have pain due to an industrial accident, so the Jacknobber only helps me get temporary relief, but as short as it maybe, this little tool does help me work on my trigger points. If you any doubts, ask your doctor first. Good Luck. Read more

Love this for hip issues. Read more

Excellent piece of equipment although slightly overpriced. My daughter, a Physiotherapy Doctor found the tool very effective as it reduced the pressure that she had to put by her own fingers earlier, on the patient's area of discomfort. Read more

My feet and shoulders tend to cause me the most pain and this Jacknobber has given me a lot of relief. For my shoulders, I typically use my theracane as I haven't figured just how to correctly position this thing to dig into my shoulders, but for my feet, this is awesome. There are 4 different sized ends allowing you to switch to the size needed in order to get to the knot causing the pain. I typically run the largest one up and down my arches over my socks to loosen up and sort of "warm up" the area I'm going to work on, and then I use one of the smaller sizes to apply direct pressure and work out the knots. Depending on how much I work the same area, I can end up sore, but the relief I feel overrides any temporary soreness. One 30 minute session with my jacknobber is usually good enough to keep my feet pain free for a solid week before I need to use it again. Now, going back to my shoulders, this thing feels AMAZING when my husband uses it to do my shoulders for me, but like I said, I can't seem to pinpoint my shoulder knots and get it as deep as he can. This also feels good on my calves. Just lightly running it up and down my legs relieves a lot of tension. I think this is a great product for knots and pressure points and the hard plastic material leads me to believe this thing will last for a very long time. I also like how lightweight it is so it doesn't tire my hands when I'm using it. It's also a perfect size ( it stands 3.5" tall and 4" long) and comfortably fits into my hands and my husband's hands.

I've had this for a few weeks now and used it several times. The plastic doesn't seem likely to break any time soon, is hasn't gotten clouded or scuffed, so it's still shiny and pretty. I like that the knobs are two different sizes, so I can work a smaller knot without pushing too much on the area around it. It's been really useful for my husband to use on my back and doesn't tire his hand out. Read more
