Is this product sturdy or does it bend easily?

There is NO bending. Very sturdy. I like the places you can hold it to maneuver.

Hello, what is the difference between the updated 2020 version and the classic?

What's the difference between the Classic, Elite and Jr. Buddies? The Body Back Buddy Elite is new in 2020 . It is made with our new higher strength fiber infused material and comes with 4 molded, textured grips and 11 numbered knobs that you can match to your specific body parts as shown in the user guide and poster. The Body Back Buddy Classic is made from the same new material, has 11 knobs without the numbers and does not have the 4 molded grips. The Body Back Buddy Jr. is more compact and portable than the Elite and Classic versions although it will certainly work for larger body types too.

What is the difference between the Elite and the Classic version? Their descriptions sound the same

Thank you for your question. What's the difference between the Classic, Elite and Jr. Buddies? The Body Back Buddy Elite is new in 2020 .

How heavy is this? Comparable to the GoFit musclehook?

Thanks for taking the ite to reach out to us. Unfortunately, after a bit of research, I was not able to find a weight for GoFits Muscle Hook. What I can tell you is that our product weights 1.25 lbs. We also have a travel version called the Body Back Buddy Junior that weights 0.95 lbs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07777S8J8/; This tool is much closer in size to GoFits. I hope this info was helpful. Cheers!

Einfach genial. Dieser Triggerpunktschieber ist das Beste, was ich bisher hatte. Einfache Anwendung. Schon nach einigen Behandlungen merkte ich, dass sich da etwas zum Besseren tut. Nach jeder Behandlung spürt man große Erleichterung in der Muskulatur. Ich verwende es am Abend beim Fernsehen auf der Couch, ca. 20-30 Sekunden. Man sollte nicht zu fest drücken, sonst könnte es am nächsten Morgen mehr weh tun, der Schmerz vergeht aber schnell wieder.

Having had a bad back for numerous years now,I am at the end of my tether of trying to find products that will either help or cure. Not one has been successful....I've had Flexi bak, I've had a tennis ball plastic thing, I've had various heat belts that heat using magnets,I have a electric massager with heated balls no less,I have a posture corrector. I've always been put off this because of the £30 asking price and don't really see the point of cheaper imitations. Anyway,I got a gift card for Xmas rollso I took the plunge. Glad I did. Since I've used it ,I'm not saying I'm cured but my back feels so much better. Don't even know if I'm using it correctly.(I'm kinda sticking the balls in where I get pain,kneading the area for around 10 secs ,then releasing and apparently a surge of blood whooshes straight to the area,and aids the healing process. It sounds so simple and maybe it is because as I said previously,my back feels great. If you're unsure .....like I was.....take a punt. May be the best thing you do
