Good aid for a targeted pressure massage with great looks.

I purchased this from a chiropractor's office because I knew from my own hand-massages that sometimes adding pressure to a specific spot can relax the muscles all around it, and this looked like a good tool for that. I loved that it's in a natural beautiful dark wood.

It does help very well in applying point-pressure with different ends to choose from, but I found that it can end up causing me more pain sometimes. I think that I'd not be alone in automatically wanting to apply more pressure than maybe I should and the ends weren't designed to give any grace for that. I've noticed that there are rubber pressure-massagers with rounded ends that looked designed to prevent issues derived from pushing too hard or incorrectly. Perhaps Relaxus should round the ends of the Thumbs-Up Massagers? In my effectiveness rating I've considered that a person has to be very careful with the pressure given. The value went down for that as well because, even though it's a decent price, a person may want to have to buy a secondary one of a different design.

It's a beautiful product and I'll continue to use it, carefully.
