2)    TheraCane Massager
Price: $30-$40
Buy at: relaxtheback.com, theracane.com, amazon.com

Just because something is simple and highly affordable doesn’t mean it isn’t a great product, case in point is our number two spot. The Theracane is for anyone and everyone who gets good workout and finds that tight spot they just can’t reach for relief. This wonderful little device allows you to cut out the middle man and drugs for muscle ache relief by letting you reach spots you would not otherwise possibly reach alone.

The TheraCane Massager is a self-massager, used to apply pressure to sore muscles. The unique body cane design of the TheraCane Massager lets you apply deep pressure massage to hard-to-reach areas of your body, using two strategically placed projections and six treatment balls to help relieve pain. A gentle, manually applied massaging action is all that is required for TheraCane use. The two longer rods can be used to provide leverage and an increased mechanical advantage when the TheraCane is used on the neck or upper and lower back. Pressure applied by the TheraCane Massager helps to maximize the flow of oxygenated blood to the muscles. This pressure aids in restoring muscle function by breaking up adhesions in muscle fibers and tendons and stretching them to naturally recover. The increased circulation helps the muscle to work more efficiently and uses less energy to contract. Truly a unique device, the TheraCane is ideal for use in the home or office.  Or get one for a friend as a gift! Help relieve muscle pain and fatigue today.
