Do you ever wish there were other massage tools to use rather than just your hands? Or, if you don't mind using your hands, have you ever wished there was something to make it a little easier? Well, there are things you can do to take the pressure off your own back and legs, and get a little relief during your working day. There are certain massage tools and techniques out there that were developed for therapists. Luckily, they also benefit the client.

Use Massage Tools for Greater Ease

One great and very simple massage tool is the Knobble. It's a little wooden instrument that looks like a larger version of a kitchen cabinet knob. This is great for stubborn knots. It will save your massager's hands from lots of rubbing and pressure. Basically, just hold the knob over the knot and apply pressure. As the knot begins to loosen, apply more pressure. That's it! Just be sure to drink plenty of water to allow the toxins to flow out of the body and not into another knot.

In addition to the Knobble, another great massage tool is the Index Knobber II. It's another great invention that was designed to give your hands a break from the repetitive stress that accompanies deep tissue massages. If you need to apply direct pressure to a particular spot on a client's back, this device can deliver that targeted pressure without the intense strain on your hands. It's easy to use, inexpensive, and versatile. You can use it on bare skin, clothed skin, and even with massage oils.

If you're looking for a thank-you gift for that special repeat client, consider the Thera Cane. This cane-shaped tool can effectively ease the knots and aches associated with trigger spots. All a user needs to do is position the Thera Cane over his back and use a massaging motion. The cane's specially designed prongs and treatment balls take care of the rest. One of the most popular self-directed massage tools, it makes a great gift for clients who tip generously, or as a holiday treat for your favorite regulars.
