Pressure Positive

Return to Product Reviews

We acquired Pressure Positive products, including the Backnobber II (the S-shaped device in the photo below). This simple device likely is the best massage product a person can buy. It is not meant for a 'comfortable, luxurious' massage but, rather, to work those trigger points of balled up tissues that cause tight muscles and pain. The photo may not look like much, but do not let that fool you. The amount of leverage a person can produce with the Backnobber II can be as extreme or as gentle as need be, and likely the only way to experience self-treatment when a partner is not available or too tired to work those back muscles vigorously.

Massage Products. Everyone enjoys a massage but, more importantly, many of us require a special type of massage; the type that helps to reduce stress and to loosen those infamous tight knots that accumulate around the upper back and neck. Computer operators and typists certainly know what we're saying, as do serious athletes who exercise intensely. For this reason we investigated a company called Pressure Positive. We requested one of their products (big mistake... we should have purchased them all!), the Index Knobber II. This simple hand-held device reduces hand, finger and thumb fatigue like nothing else. It allows for three different hand positions so that one can apply three different pressure surfaces. For those who give their partners deep tissue massages, and particularly for the professional massage therapist, you owe it to yourself to look into Pressure Positive to make massage less work and more effective. Best of all, the products are ridiculously priced, and they can be purchased wholesale for any interested sports, medical, and exercise supply stores.
