"Great for release. I love this product. It's perfect for rolling down the back to get to pressure points. It really gets some of those tight muscles to relax and let go." - Rachael Phalanges The Back Roller is an excellent device for massaging the spinal column. This is the descendent of the original Ma Roller which was developed over 30 years ago. The new rubber rings stabilize the rolling action making it easier to control your movements. By giving a gentle stretch to the spine and a deep massage to the antigravity muscles in the back, the Backroller stimulates three fundamental lines of energy known to every ancient culture around the world. These three lines represent the very core of the man - both conscious and unconscious functions.

Summary: Melts tension away
Comment: You should NOT use this if you have any spine injuries. The roller is made of wood, though it's not one solid piece, which was somewhat disappointing. The rubber rings on each end do a good job of keeping it from sliding around as you roll on it.
I work at a computer all day long and have problems with tightness in my neck and back almost constantly, in spite of daily workouts. I got the back roller a couple of weeks ago and have used it a half dozen times since then. It comes with a four-page write-up that's completely useless and reads like it's been written by a non-native English speaker on drugs. To use the back roller, you put in on a hard surface and lie down so that your neck falls in the groove between the two bumps. You then bend your knees, put your hands behind your head and gently push upward with your feet so that the roller rolls a little farther down your neck. You stop as soon as you feel any tension and stay there for a couple of minutes and repeat until you get down to your lower back, making sure your spine stays in the groove the entire time. The point is not really to roll but rather to let the bumps press into the erector muscles and relax away any knots.
It works great and definitely helps relieve tension in the rhomboid muscles, which is a huge problem for me and usually for anyone who spends their day sitting in front of a computer. The first time I use it (I usually do two or three runs-through from neck to lower back), it hurts A LOT but I definitely feel better afterwards and it works the knots out better than the Shiatsu massager I have. Overall, I think this is a must-have is you have back pain, though it only really helps if the pain is muscle strain and it works better on the upper and middle back than the lower back because of the way the spine curves.

Summary: The best thing ever!
Comment: Okay, maybe that's stretching it (no pun intended), but I really do love this massager. I practice yoga and exercise regularly, but still hold stress in my upper back and neck. I've suffered chronic muscle tightness in those areas for about 10 years.
I bought this item while suffering from a back muscle spasm. I didn't want to go the medication route, so I used this every day for about 30 minutes, along with yoga. It really made a difference. It gets deep into the erector muscles and cuts through tension like butter. For chronic tightness, you'll have to use this regularly, as your muscles will want to tighten again after treatment (just like after massage). But you know what? You're worth the time required to spend on your health. :)

Summary: backroller
Comment: I have owned a MAROLLER in the past and wanted a new roller. This is not as good as the "official" MAROLLER. It is lighter and not nearly as effective. I wish I had held out for the genuine article.

Summary: Great for release
Comment: I love this product. It's perfect for rolling down the back to get to some great pressure points. It's not to be used as a light roller, as the weight of your body is against it, but it really gets some of those tight muscles to relax and let go.
