FORWARD Within all of us is a strong desire to be healthy. The massage tools developed and manufactured by The Pressure Positive Company are designed to help you take a positive step in that direction. Acute injury, as well as chronic conditions including everyday stress and strain can lead to uncomfortable muscular symptoms such as painful trigger points, muscle tightness and muscle weakness. The Backnobber II tools, when used regularly and combined with the basic stretching and strengthening exercises as described in this User Guide, can help you to temporarily manage such symptoms as it has for hundreds of thousands of our customers since 1979. The engineered shape and sizes of The Original Backnobber tools allow you to apply compression to sore, tense muscles for as long as you need to, whenever and wherever you need to. The Original Backnobber ® II tool is made of a highly durable, fiberglass reinforced nylon material molded in the shape of an “S.” This shape allows the user to hook one end over the shoulder, under the arm, or around the torso so that the opposite end can be pressed into any of the posterior muscles of the neck and shoulders, upper, middle or lower back. The tool can also be effectively used on the hips, gluteal muscles and muscles in the legs and feet and upper arms. The Original Backnobber ® is also available in steel and wood material in the three sizes and “S” shapes we used when we first started making them in the 1970s. Each of these Original Backnobber ® tools has a different feel in the hands compared with the Original Backnobber ® II tool, and they are not designed to be taken apart. Otherwise, all of the techniques, stretching, strengthening and information on your Original Backnobber ® tool in this User Guide apply equally to all of them. We hope that our massage products will help you to manage your muscle discomfort on a daily basis, and that they will contribute to your personal wellbeing.
