The BBB and the Mini-BBB do exactly what they say they do. I suffer from muscle spasms in my back and my husband is just not patient enough to adequately help alleviate the pain with traditional hands-on trigger point therapy. Its okay, he knows he’s impatient with it. I was finding myself leaning up against any pointy surface just to get a “fix”. LOL Now when I’m suffering, I just pull out the BBB and go to town. Its soooo difficult to stop after 30sec of working one area, but please learn from my mistakes when I tell you that if you exceed the recommended treatment time, your body WILL generate an injury response and your back will feel like one giant bruise for a few days.
My only “complaint” is that the flash (seam from the top and bottom of the mold) left behind from the molding process was not ground down completely therefore leaving what feels like a sharp edge when pressed into my skin. I have not tried to grind this down on my own yet, mostly for fear of marring the aesthetics of the BBB.
All in all, I love my BBB and Mini-BBB. I keep the Mini-BBB in my desk at work and take it with me whenever I travel. The Mini doesn’t stand a chance in a competition against the BBB, but I don’t think its intended to be straight up substitute for the full-sized BBB. Its perfect for that little “pick me up” in the middle of the day when I feel a spasm coming on. I’ve owned my BBB’s for just over a month now and I notice that I have used them less and less each week. Since the only thing that has changed for me is the addition of the BBB into my routine, I can only conclude that the treatment is helping me heal.

I’ve only used this for a week, but I feel it’s already paid for itself! Between my active lifestyle and the fact I sleep on my side I often get sore muscles particularly between my shoulder blades. Prior to the back buddy the best way to sooth those muscles was paying for a massage. The last time I started feeling sore I used the back buddy on the trigger points and used the round end to rub up and down next to my spine, 3 days later the soreness is all but gone(about the same as a professional massage). I’m sure I’ll learn more ways to use this as time goes on, as for the complaints in other reviews that it’s cheap plastic and large – the main back buddy is a very heavy duty type of plastic, I feel it will last a lifetime and I store it in my closet so it just hangs over the rod out of the way. This is one purchase that may be worth it’s weight in gold!!!!
