Test Driven: The Backnobber II






I must start with an apology; my infantile rants about the name of this item must not detract from what a great piece of kit this truly is. So, innuendo aside, let me talk to you about the “Backnobber II”.

A simple ‘S’ shaped cousin of the ‘back scratcher’ makes all the difference when you are desperately seeking alleviation from tight/knotted muscles. Of course, a sports massage is the most constructive way to sort your grumpy muscles, but trigger pointing can really help and, after the initial purchase cost, there is no further charge for you to sort yourself out in any emergencies. It’s a way to make you independent but also, like a First Aid kit, at any time day or night, you can grab this tool and press in to any misbehaving muscles in your back, neck or shoulders.

And there’s no need to know about pressure or trigger points; your body will be sending enough signals for you to want to just ram the bulb straight in there and wiggle. In this scenario: “don’t think; feel!” (the only disclaimer I have there is, don’t press directly onto bone, or it will hurt more than muscle!)

The ‘S’ has a simple release button in the centre should you wish to halve its size and pack away in a compact case for example. 


I find this item a perfect piece of kit to add to my ‘Fix Myself Toolbag'.

Great design. It has helped me out on multiple occasions.
