I've worked in the massage profession since 2005, and really wish I'd known about this tool much earlier on. This is the perfect size and shape to deliver excellent pressure without injuring your thumbs for the majority of locations of the body (basically everything but sensitive locations like the neck). The underside has a concave divot that is suitable for pressing either your palm or tucking the majority of your thumb into. The material it's made of is able to maintain traction while your hands and the client's body are coated in a reasonable amount of cream (I used both Biotone's Dual Purpose and Advanced Therapy creams to test). I find as a therapist that the usage of the tool is intuitive, hands falling naturally into positions depending on which point I want to use - and each point does have a slightly different purpose. My modalities include deep tissue, shiatsu, acupressure, and trigger point - I doubt this will help with the standard Swedish effleurage, but for targeting specific knots and applying the pressure needed to relieve the adhesion, this is perfect.Advice for non-professionals: this can be used for yourself in the relief of pain in your extremities, but like most massage, you can't really use this on yourself for the core body. If you're using this on another person, start with the top point, with the concave base of the tool resting in your palm. With your free hand, find the knot, then find the highest point on the knot. Carefully settle the tool's top point on the top of the knot, and be extra mindful of the person's level of pain - as well as your own stability. Go slow and it should be fine. I recommend placing your free hand in such a way as to protect any sensitive nearby areas in case you do slip. The spine, for example.Alongside the Massage Star (also available on Amazon), this tool has become one of my two essential tools. I bought the blue one, and they were right, it's great for professional use. Very highly recommended.

This thing is great, with a few caveats. The points have a much smaller surface area than any kind of ball massager, so you need to be careful about overusing it. I like it as a sparingly used addition to my various lacrosse, tennis, spikey, and cork balls I use for massaging, but it is definitely not a replacement. I still use my massage balls far more often, and keep this thing in reserve for days when I need that extra oomph.Another thing: I tried purchasing both the orange and blue versions, but the hardness was not appreciably different. The green one might be noticeably softer, but ultimately the surface area of the points is so small that I don't think any of these will feel "soft".Totally unrelated, but every time I think of this brand name it reminds me of the old 90s song "Seether" by Veruca Salt lol. Good name.

This little pyramid is the single best trigger point massage product I've ever used...and I've literally used every shape and size massage product that exists. I am shocked at how effective this is, especially for neck, upper back, shoulder, and arm massage. It's more dense and delivers more pressure than moulded plastic massage tools and it's perfectly sized to fit in your palm no matter which point you use. I haven't written a review of any product for a LONG time, but I feel like I need to shout about this little guy from the rooftops.Speaking of, each point on the pyramid is a slightly different angle, offering a variety of pressure point options. The top of the pyramid is a single, somewhat blunt point that is great for superficial spots, like over the collar bone or pectoralis origin on the sternum. One of the points on the base is a sharper angle single point and is perfect for deeper spots, like shoulder tendons or deep pressure into the trapezius. The remaining side has a weird little V cut out of it, forming a two-point side that offers distributed pressure between two sharper angled points. This side is amazing for the jaw, temple, scalp, or the small muscles on both sides of the spine. I've used the straight edge on the base to roll horizontally across my forearm muscles, which offer just the right amount of contact with my arm to get the crunchy bits. The bottom of the tool is ever so slightly indented, making it really easy to grip, and it has a pebbled texture and grippy feeling across the whole surface. It's easy to hold, easy to get stable, deep pressure. If you use massage oil or tiger balm, it's a smooth enough surface that you can slide it across muscle groups without too much friction, but also without losing your grip.I own five or six sizes and textures of lacrosse balls marketed specificity for massage, big and small versions of the Back Buddy, metal and stone gua sha tools of varying sizes, moulded plastic massage tools, and two massage guns...and this little guy is by far my favorite. I'm mad at myself for not realizing it existed sooner, but now I'll never be without it. After using it for about a week, I misplaced it and absolutely panicked. I tore up my bedroom looking for it and right then decided I needed to order a couple more to have on hand just in case.If you use lacrosse balls or are looking for better options to get to really tight spots that fatigue your hands to massage directly, give this guy a try. It's unlike any other tool on the market and outperforms much more expensive options. Even if it doesn't immediately become your favorite, it's a unique expansion to your self-massage tool kit.
