Therapist’s Choice Thumb Protector: Deep Tissue Massage Tool & Trigger Point Massage Tool

As a Medical Massage Therapist, I do a lot of trigger point treatment. This tool has help my thumbs/hands stay in alignment. You're still using pressure from your body but the tool is a very big help when working on necks.

I can massage my husband’s back easier without my thumbs hurting. Good product

Great comfortable tool for massage therapists! I highly recommend this product.. I use it all the time at my job and it gives a tremendous result and gives a break to my thumbs.. The only recommendation I would give when you get this great product in the mail.. is to smooth out the tip of the thumb support with a nail file.. Mine came with a tiny piece of plastic and I used a nail file to gently grind down the edge of the thumb support.. It got very smooth and if you get comfortable enough using it during your deep tissue massage around the rhomboids and posterior scalenes.. It works and feels great for your client also!!!

I think it useful ,just slightly large for my hand. It's probably more suited to fit a man's hand .

I always use my thumbs to work the knots out of husband’s back till I came across this little item. What a like saver for me!!! He still has no idea I’m using this tool and I’m going to keep letting him think that. I will say that I am able to dig deeper in the scapular area much better to give him a better release. I absolutely love this. I suggest try it you got nothing to lose

I liked the grip, but dislike that all of the force went into the wrist, and my patient said that is was not as effective as my actual thumb. It did do as advertised, my thumb did not hurt as much as when I did not use this device, but patient satisfaction was not as high.

I have had hands that have hurt for years - especially my thumbs. Even massage therapy didn't help my hands. Everyone said that I just had arthritis. And the therapists would just work on my back. My hands started to feel like "claws" because they were drawing up. Well I started to try to massage the area around the base of my thumbs and the muscles just below it and it has really helped. But my pain to do it was excruciating. This thumb protector is just what I needed to continue. I can apply pressure where needed and it gives me strength in my hand without as much pain.

I will start by saying I have only used this on myself, mostly on my lower back and upper glutes. When trying deep tissue massage, the thumb becomes hyper extended and tires quickly. This tool reinforces the thumb and still allows sense of orientation of the tight muscles. By using the tip, or the side, you can dig a bit deeper to get into smaller areas or concentrate on a knot. I am limited on the ability to reach all areas that are knotted and tight, so I also see a massage therapist who uses one, it works very well.
