Thera Cane MAX Trigger Point Massager (Blue)

Nice, sturdy construction. Very clear instructions. Easy to use. I was skeptical at first, but after dealing with severe chronic pain for so long, I finally followed my physical therapist's advice and bought this. It helps relieve knots and pain at pressure points without having to twist and turn! I'm a larger guy, and have zero issues. It's size and shape are just right. Worth every penny. Came with a DVD ...but wish it came with a link to a YouTube video instead.

I tried the Thera cane at my physical therapist office and love the fact that I was able to work on some knots I had in my middle back. I bought this two piece cane so that I can take it apart & fit it inside my carry on when traveling. I had a hard time screwing the knob in, so I posted this video to help anyone who might have the same issue. iI’s a solid massage cane and it has a lifetime guarantee so it’s definitely worth the price. I also contacted Thera cane customer service to ask for suggestions on putting it together previously and they responded very quickly. The only thing I don’t like is Amazon delivers it in the original box with no packaging and no tape so anyone can easily open the box and tamper with it before you use it .

I bought a Thera Cane more than a year ago and love it. What I bought before was the 1-piece version and it really helped to release the tightness in my back when I get these stress related pain from time to time. Recently, I'm having back problems again and I was carrying it every day so I can use it in my office and at home. So I decided it was time to buy another one just for the office. I considered the 2 piece version but was concerned that it will be weaker and may flex and wobble or even break at the joint. But since it was selling for around $10 less than the 1 piece version and I thought it will be nice to have one that I can use for travelling, I ultimately bought the 2 piece version. When I received the product, I immediately put it together and compared to my old 1-piece Thera Cane, it was exactly the same size! You can see that in the picture I uploaded (black is 1 piece and orange is the 2 piece version). That took care of one of my initial concerns. Then I started using it expecting that it may flex more but it did not, it felt exactly like the one piece version. Maybe even a little stiffer since it was brand new or maybe the material was slightly stiffer. Looks like both of them are made with high quality glass-impregnated nylon, good quality stiff plastic. Having a mechanical engineering background, I'm immediately curious as to how they were able to design the joint so it didn't have any play in it. Turns out that the male end is tapered for a snug fit and it has a key to keep the two pieces from rotating from one another. Once I screw on the knob, everything was very tight and stiff. I was also concerned if the female part of the joint may crack under pressure, but the material was thick and strong enough that it doesn't feel like it is at risk of breaking at any time. Considering this is the same size as the 1 piece version, is just as stiff, is a lot more portable AND cost significantly less, I would highly recommend this over the 1 piece version or the other weird looking clones out there.

This item is incredibly helpful and has been instrumental in my postpartum recovery. It is so easy to use and comes with an owners manual to help you get started. Item is very durable, but note it is larger than I initially thought.

My massage therapist recommended this, as a way to help relieve tension in my shoulders. Its effectiveness depends on one's willingness to use it regularly and correctly, and it does work. The device itself is of good quality, and the ability to disassemble it is great for packing it for travel.

Very comfortable to hold and to use. Reaches all sore spots and makes them feel better. Highly recommend

This is so worth it. The pressure is perfect - it's a very small area of effect, which is great for targeted pressure. The cane can be hooked around your sides to massage your spine muscles with the small spheres. It even came with a DVD, which I imagine probably shows you the best ways to use it. I have seen versions of this cane where it is one singular molded piece, but I love this one because it can be unscrewed/disassembled for storage or for ease of transport. It's great.

It works great! Very happy with the Thera Cane.

This is proving to be a very useful tool, am very pleased I invested in it. Had a bit of trouble putting it together as the screw holes didn't want to align, but after all my muscle power got it sorted.

It's great

This works amazing! It gets so deep into muscles that it could almost replace a masseuse ( without the relaxation of course). My only issue is that it gets so deep I actually feel dizzy…be smart and warm your muscles with a bath or heating pad first, and if you don’t use it regularly you may need a painkiller ( same as if a masseuse were manipulating your back). Highly recommend!

It's an excellent quality product. Theracane finally produced a version that is easily made compact for travel but has all the functionality of the original.

Very easy to use & very effective
