Acuforce Massage Star Massager - Massaging Tool XL - Blue

Like another reviewer, I have very small hands, but I liked the idea of some of the weight of the device doing the work, so I ordered the "large" size. I don't think I would even want a smaller version of this massage tool. It fits in my palm perfectly, and the weight saves my fingers. I have a disorder called Dercum's Disease, and the only thing that eases my pain is massage, but my hands and fingers just can't stand the constant strain. This device is perfect, and it is small enough to take with me when I overnight at family homes. This is an incredibly simple design and very effective with the flatter side being good for "scraping" large muscles, the two opposite fingers for deep pinpoint massage, and the edges of the flat side if a very small pinpoint massage is needed. I very much appreciate this tool.

I am a massage therapist and find that this extra large tool fit my hand easily and it has reduced hand fatigue.

I absolutely love this thing! It feels good in the hand and keeps me from being too strong. Using the muscle stripper (wide blade edge) keeps my strokes the same pressure and feels better than hands for that kind of deep work on knots. I use it a lot on the scalenes running from the clavicle to the mastoid and jaw and patients never complain (they do complain often about my hand strength on the neck). Added bonus is reduced thumb strain. All of the AcuForce massage tools are great. If you have small hands, try the red small star.

I love this for working on my upper neck muscles (suboccipitals). This XL model fits in my hand even better. And I find the "pointed" arm on the smaller version useless. This XL model replaced the point with another shape I find very useful. Great product!

Too much friction against the skin. The skin bunches up. I would have to apply lotion first which I don't want to do. Better results with a store bought cheap massager using the single included node tip for a single trigger point. I also use and recommend the "tiger tail" rolling massage stick, the Brookstone (corded) percussion massager, and "Massage Track" massage balls. See my reviews on Amazon for these products.
