Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
If you type phrases like "best selling Amazon xxxxx" into Google, where xxxx is something like acupressure tools, trigger point books or massage tools you can get a list back of their best sellers. I had some pain issues this year and bought a variety of the tools this way and most of them really were helpful. One doctor appointment might be $100 - $200 on my high deductible health plan, which means I can buy quite a few books and tools that I can use forever for the price of one doctor appointment.
I don't have a trigger point machine but if you find one that helps, let me know and I'll buy one, too.
I am going to try to get a better look at the handheld machine the massage person used next week when I go and i would let you know if I find anything. The only problem I would have is that I cannot reach the areas where I am having the pain on my back so I don't know if I can use the hand held myself
