Product Description
The Pressure Pointer was developed after using a hand powered design to treat a sore shoulder. Hand powered designs for self applied therapy demonstrate the effectiveness of a cane shaped device to help relieve pain, but with hand powered designs the user is forced to exert the muscles that are being treated, defeating the purpose. Foot power allows the user to apply soft to hard pressure for extended periods of time while completely relaxing the target muscles.
Being able to relax the target muscles and apply firm pressure for extended periods of time is one advantage of foot power over hand power to self-treat back pain. The more significant advantage of using foot power to apply pressure is when the user performs stretching and range of motion exercises while applying pressure, which cannot be done with a hand powered design. Pressure while stretching is a common technique used by therapists from massage to chiropractic, only a foot operated device allows a person to perform this type of therapy on themselves.
The Pressure Pointer is made from aircraft grade aluminum, so it is light and flexible, but very strong and durable. We offer immediate shipping with only two day delivery and the best customer service available if you have any questions. Only the Pressure Pointer comes with four interchangeable heads that allow for a broad, rolling therapy for acute pain down to the "Finger" that is only ½" round so it can penetrate to the deepest muscle(for those that can handle it). There is also one medium rolling head and one medium fixed head for most users. The rolling heads are made from natural stained birch wood, the rubber heads are made from 60A durometer rubber (Latex Free) to mimic firm human touch. The included manual shows step-by-step instructions to get you started on the path to self treatment of your back pain. We offer a 30 day, hassle free return policy and a one year warranty.

Great improvement over Theracane
By Lance A.
I have been using a Theracane and several knockoffs (Back Buddy, etc.) for several years to work on trigger points in my shoulders and upper back. I love them because they are extremely effective, and even help prevent headaches I sometimes get when my shoulder muscles are very tight.But the Pressure Pointer has replaced them all for me. It is so much more pleasant to use because my arms do not get sore. I don't agree with the criticisms of other reviewers. I am very tall (6-6), and it adjusts very comfortably for me. The original Theracane, by contrast, is so small that it requires putting my arms in an awkward position to use it properly. Also, the construction is very light weight, which I actually appreciate because that makes it more comfortable to use, even if it might make it a bit more fragile. I'm not sure how the other folks broke things on this -- I'm not using this for pole vaulting, but for putting pressure on rather sensitive tissue.It is also quite a bit more versatile, because I can reach more areas. Perhaps because it is not as fatiguing, I am more inclined to explore for more trigger points that might be causing referred pain. I highly recommend this product. The only real drawback compared to the hand-held versions is that it is larger and therefore slightly harder to store. Since I use mine every day, it just ends up stretched across the couch, which is a bit ugly. But so worth it!

By Witchy Woman Wendy or Heathen Guy Ken
I bought this product from the manufacturer a few years ago, and I absolutely love it. It's the only thing (besides a good massage therapist) that can work out the knots in my back muscles. If it weren't for the Pressure Pointer, the knotted muscles in my back would get so bad I wouldn't be able to move my neck and arm! The fact that leg strength is used instead of arms, makes this a perfect tool for me. Using my arms would cause more spasms in my upper back and neck.The construction is extremely sturdy, and I've had no problems with the Pressure Pointer, even though I have to use a great deal of leg power on it to work out the knots. There are three different, interchangeable working ends for you to use on those muscle knots, trigger points or wherever it hurts. I tried using the wooden balls to roll out muscle knots, but found better results from just pressing against the area instead. It kind of breaks up the knotted muscle. The tubular aluminum construction is strong, sturdy and adjustable for different heights. The Pressure Pointer is worth it's weight in gold to me!Their website is also very helpful: [...]Witchy Woman Wendy

I could not be more pleased - trying to get my wife to get the knots out never works out. I hold all my stress in my upper back and now I can find relief without having to beg
