Why Use the Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone 

-The Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone feels like a thumb. Clients, including massage therapists, cannot tell when you're using a Thumbby™ or your thumb (or elbow or heel of the hand). 

-The Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone sticks to walls (if they are smooth). Even if you never use a Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone on a client, you'll want one for reaching points on your own back. 

-You can use Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cones hot, cold, or room temperature. You heat them the same as hot stones. They come out slightly cooler than stones and stay hot two to three times longer. You can also heat them in a towel cabinet or in the sun. DO NOT microwave! 

-The Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone saves wear on your thumbs. It reduces the effort needed to loosen tight muscles by giving no-thumb alternatives for Swedish techniques. For example, instead of kneading with your thumb, hold the Thumbby™ Massage Cone turned on its side and then use your whole arm to knead. 

-The Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone used dry grips skin better than hands can, even through clothing. This makes it an excellent tool for chair massage, scar massage, and myofascial techniques. 

-The Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone is light in weight and totally portable. Take a Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone with you when you travel to help stay loose on your journey.

It can be thought of as the massage tool for massage therapists. Hard to get points on the shoulders and neck are easily accessed by the golf-ball like knobs and the bow-like Acu-Masseur. By pulling the red string with one hand and drawing it from the back to the front, one can then set the position of the red knobs to wonderfully massage particular muscles such as the trapezius muscles and the rhomboids. Holding both ends of the Acu-Masseur, without using the string, position the red knobs and hold a yoga position. Now, breathe slowly into the muscles the red knobs are holding and feel incredible releases.

Still about the size of a standard doorknob, it is made of durable polymer. The base is held in the palm of the hand, and the smoothly rounded tip is used to apply pressure to trigger points in soft tissue. The Knobble II has the added benefit of a soft band of non-latex, Santoprene around the base that allows for friction techniques. Bodyworkers often use the Knobble II to save wear and tear on their hands when applying deep, prolonged pressure to knots or strands of contracted muscle. But the Knobble II is not meant to replace your healing hands, only to help them do more and last longer. Remember to position yourself in such a way that you use your weight, not just your strength, to apply pressure to the muscle. Avoid direct pressure against the spine and other bones. Weight: 2.1 oz.

About the size of a large mushroom, the cap is held in the palm of the hand, and the smoothly rounded stem is used to apply pressure to trigger points in soft tissue. Some gentle kneading motion with the Knobble or slow movement of the part of the body being massaged may be helpful. Bodyworkers often use the Knobble to save wear and tear on their hands when working on tough spots. But the Knobble is not meant to replace your healing hands, only to help them do more and last longer.

Relaxing on a regular basis helps the muscles slowly rebalance using gravity to do most of the work. It is not a quick fix--nothing is; however, addressing and helping to correct bad posture and "out of balance" muscle structure helps treat the origin of the problem rather than treat the symptom. The Sacro Wedgy® is available in a male or female version. Instructional booklet and elevation pad are included.
