What People Are Saying

A patient recently introduced me to the Pressure Pointer and I
was extremely impressed with the design, quality and
performance. We are often asked for home product
recommendations and thought this would be great to promote to
our patients/athletes.

About 6 months ago I started having
severe pains in my right shoulder. My Doctor referred me to
the orthopedic specialist who arranged for me to have an MRI.
After two tries they abandoned efforts to get a clear picture
of my shoulder as the muscles were apparently still twitching
– even after I had been given two pain killers and put to
sleep. A cortisone shot failed to affect the problem and I
was being scheduled for arthroscopic surgery in order to find
what was in the shoulder joint and repair it. My friend
pointed out that my problem was likely in the muscle and if
so, could not be fixed with surgery. Within minutes he
located two trigger points (small, hot and burning bumps in
the back and front of my shoulder) and showed me how to use
the Pressure Pointer on these. Although they were quite
painful when pressed, I had been completely unaware of their
existence. Much of the pain was eliminated in the first week,
but there was still a catch or two left that prevented full
use. I did not use the pressure pointer regularly as I should
have and the situation did not change much for many months.
For a short time I quit using the Pressure Pointer altogether
and the condition returned in full force. Then I began to use
it on a regular schedule for a few days (during which I
discovered two more trigger points that had become affected)
and ergo, my shoulder is almost back to normal again. I’ve
learned my lesson. I know too that there were no bone spurs
or other reasons for surgery. The Pressure Pointer is a most
effective, and valuable tool for this condition, and one which
I cannot do without. It has eliminated any need, however
misguided, for recurrent and expensive trips to the Doctors
for treatment or surgery. I much prefer it over the Theracane
and BackNobber as they do not allow for the use of the
powerful leg and foot muscles to apply the needed pressure.
And with your rolling heads you don’t gouge or bruise
yourself as you move it through the massage area. Thanks for
a wonderful product. I recommend it highly.
I have had chronic upper thoracic and lower cervical back
and neck pain for years. I've been to chiropractors and
physical therapists, with no long term solutions for
relief. Then, while at a friend's house, I tried the
Pressure Pointer and knew I had to have one. It is by far
the best tool I've found to deep massage while stretching
the muscles that aggravate me most--those between and up
under my shoulder blades. The Pressure Pointer, in
combination with strengthening exercises to improve
posture has been my home care solution for a healthy,
happy back!
Joey Sneva I really love your Pressure Pointer. I work on a computer all day, every day, and sometimes my back, shoulders and neck get so tense that I have to quit. Some of my friends tried to get me to buy a Pressure Pointer, but I resisted for a long time because of the cost. I realize that the cost really isn't that bad if you compare it to a visit to the doctor, chiropractor or a massage, but it seemed like a lot. Finally after a particularly bad day I broke down and purchased one, and I am glad that I did. The Pressure Pointer lets me message my back and shoulders myself when I need it. The combination of massage and stretching relieves most of the pain so I can continue to do what I want.
I like the Pressure Pointer so much that I just bought a 2nd
one to give to my sister.
Thanks, Mike Barry
What a great product! I've tried everything
from Ma Rollers to Theracanes and most of the stuff in
between. The Pressure Pointer allows me to work out knots from
my knees to my neck that have been there for years. Thanx for
a great addition to my self care arsenal! After twenty years of lower back tension
pressing on the sciatica nerve I found your product able to dig
into the tension and relieve the tightness that could not be
relieved through stretching or chiropractic adjustments. It has
opened up doors of activity that were thought to be closed.
I thank God your product has given me a second chance. "I think the Pressure Pointer is the best
self-massage therapy tool available. Client's find it easy to
use after brief instruction, and prefer it when given the choice
of using the Backnobber or Theracane. With the Pressure Pointer,
effective stretching can be performed while applying gentle
sustained pressure using your foot instead of having to use your
arms to apply the pressure. It is an especially helpful tool for
employees who work on computers, and experience upper back and
scapulae area tightness and pain. I think companies should keep
Pressure Pointers in their break rooms for employees to use on a
regular basis." "As a practicing physical
therapist and athletic trainer, I have had my patients and
athletes utilize the Pressure Pointer as well as other
pressure therapy tools.
In my experience, the Pressure Pointer has been
overwhelmingly the tool of choice for a variety of reasons.
First, the ability of the patient to use leg force to
apply the necessary pressure instead of their arms allows
the target tissues to relax which is a necessity for
successful treatment.
Second, the multiple interchangeable heads allow for a wide
variety of treatment goals aimed at reducing pain,
superficial and deep myofascial dysfunctions.
Third, the Pressure Pointer is user friendly and is a
fantastic modality to most soft tissue treatments." "I just wanted to commend you on such a wonderful product. I have been diagnosed with Myofascial pain, which resulted from a car accident back in February 2002. Last night I used it and it felt wonderful. I could feel the relief almost instantly. For someone who hasn't had a pain free day since my accident, it was wonderful to have a product handy that helped make my pain less intense, if just for a few minutes. Thank you for this innovation!"

Dear Pressure Products, "I prefer the rolling heads of the Pressure
Pointer over the Thera Cane, I highly recommend the Pressure
Pointer to everybody. Thank you for a truly great product." "There was a knot between my shoulder blades for
years, I've tried all the back tools I could find, only the
Pressure Pointer has been able to get at it in a way that stops
the pain. Thanks for making such a great product available." "The Pressure Pointer made my neck pain go away.
I keep it at the office now and use it during breaks and
sometimes even stay a few minutes late so I can use it before I
drive home." "I have found your device to be the best remedy
yet for relieving the shoulder and neck pain I get from using
the computer all day."
