Hurts, but provides lasting relief.
5 out of 5 stars
Hurts, but provides lasting relief.
Thanks to scoliosis in two spots, I collect painful knots along and under my shoulder blades. My husband would massage them to give me relief, but they are so hard his hands would get tired before I would experience real lasting relief. While I can reach that spot on my back, the knots move when my shoulder blades move, so I needed something to reach them. I got this to help relieve the pain while he was not home or when he was too tired.It works. It hurts, but that was to be expected. A deep-tissue massage costs twice as much, would hurt, and would provide relief once. That’s the only other relief I could get. With this, I can control the level of pain and how much pressure I’m willing to endure.There was a scuff on the end. Some people took a star off for having a few scuffs on it—but I don’t care what it looks like. It doesn’t affect the functionality. I’m adding a picture anyway. It’s hard to see what is the scuff and what is light reflecting, so I circled it.In terms of the way it looks, it’s not the sort of thing I want anyone seeing out at my home. It looks like a weird personal toy.I use it daily for eventual lasting relief. I’m much less likely to tweak my muscles and lock up my entire back. I’m attaching pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Q-Flex WORKS!
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2015
Color: PurpleVerified Purchase
This is an ingenious device that actually works! Now it's possible to hit my trigger points all by myself--and the Q-Flex.

This arrived yesterday and I used it twice. This morning, for the first time in years, the trigger points on the tops of my shoulders are not rock hard. There's improvement in the scapula area, but I'll need to use the Q-Flex more to get the results I want. So far, though, this simple product is amazing for the relief I feel.

The Q-Flex is quite lightweight. It has small, pointed 'knobs' (thumbs) at each end. When you apply pressure with them to your trigger points they work just like someone's hand would in performing accupressure. The foam-cushioned grip makes it easy to hold onto the Q-Flex. To use it, you place your hands (in close proximity) on the grip, moving the 'knob' to the exact spot needing accupressure. The brief manual explains that the pressure should not cause pain and directs how to use it.

Of all the methods I've tried to relieve pain at my trigger points (short of chiropractic adjustment and deep-tissue massage), the Q-Flex is the most effective. I plan to try it at the base of my skull (as per the manual) when a migraine is coming.

If you are plagued with muscle pain in spots that you can't reach, you may want to give the Q-Flex a try. I can see using it at home, the office, and even on long car trips. It's light enough to pack in a suitcase, so you can take your pain reliever with you when you travel.

Update: I get cluster migraines and had the opportunity to use the Q-Flex with them. Unfortunately, for the first one, I waited too long and it didn't help. The second time I tried it much earlier (onset of aura and muscle spasm). It definitely helped to break up some of the spasm at the base of my skull. In my opinion, this is definitely worth a try--especially if you can alleviate pain without use of medication.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's very easy to use
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016
Color: PurpleVerified Purchase
I debated for a while over which acupressure/massage tool to pick up-there are a lot of options! I ended up choosing this one because of its simplicity and lightweight design. It's very easy to use, even when you can barely lift your arms, and it helps break up the knots, which is what it is supposed to do. Depending on how you angle your grip, you can use the rounder or sharper part of the nub to press against the muscle. Mine did somehow chip already, and while this doesn't affect its functionality, it's not something you want to see on a product you have owned two days. I question its durability, but like I said it still works for now and the chip isn't uncomfortable. Also, while it works well on the shoulder and back area, it's harder to get at the trigger points of the neck, so you may want to look at one of the devices with different nubs to access areas like that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Invention Ever!
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015
Color: PurpleVerified Purchase
This device is very interesting! I saw it advertised on "Shark Tank," a TV show that features people who've come up with a unique product they want to sell. If one of the investors likes the product and thinks the person is capable of selling it globally, they'll sponsor them, giving them funding in exchange for a percentage of their company. Needless to say, this product won a sponsor. But what is it, exactly? It's tool that allows you to apply pressure to spots on your back or neck, without contorting yourself in an effort to reach them.

Aha! Genius. Pure genius!

I have both fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome, along with other medical conditions. As a result, I often get pinched nerves from spasming muscles. It's a painful condition that's treated with heat and massage, along with applying steady pressure to the tight muscles, which tricks them into relaxing. Since the pinched nerves usually occur between my spine and shoulder blades, it's very hard to reach them on my own. But it's hard for my husband to massage the spots for me, since he doesn't know exactly where to apply pressure, or how hard to press. The best trick I've found is actually two tennis balls in a knotted sock. I lean against the wall, sandwiching the tennis balls between the wall and my back. Then I bend my knees, moving up and down, rolling the balls along my back until they reach the spot I need to apply pressure to. And if that sounds awkward . . . well, yes, it is! It's hard to maneuver the tennis balls to the right spot and then keep them there. I've also tried a massage chair, which has hard, round bumps that rotate and move up and down to "massage" your neck and back. But the amount of pressure it applies is too much for me---It helps, yes, but I find it quite painful. For years, I've longed for a better solution. And I think I've found it with the Q-Flex.

Basically, this tool is a question mark-shaped stick, with a foam grip to hold onto, and a hard ball-point on the other end. You angle the curved section over your shoulder, or under your arm, applying pressure to your back or neck with the ball-point. It allows you to reach virtually any part of your neck, upper back, lower back, etc. If you're interested in official acupressure techniques, it comes with a little booklet that shows you where to apply pressure for certain results. If you're more interested in stopping pinched nerves, muscle spasms, or knotted muscles, it can do that, too. Just place the ball-point anywhere you need it, then angle the handle and pull. You control how much pressure you apply, so you can make sure it doesn't get painful. It may take a little practice to figure out exactly where to place the tip and what angle to use, but you'll figure it out quickly.

I love this product, but I'm a bit confused by the fact that it claims to be a "Back and Body Massage Tool." If there's a way to use it to massage your own back, I haven't figured it out. Seems like it would be painful to rub your back with the hard ball-point. Not to mention awkward. But if you want to apply steady, direct pressure to a specific spot to relieve muscle tension and spasms, it's truly excellent!

I'll give the Q-Flex four stars and recommend it to anyone who suffers from muscle spasms or pinched nerves in your neck or back. You might check with your doctor to ask about the safest way to use this device, just to be sure you aren't doing more harm than good. I'm very pleased with the Q-Flex and intend to share it with friends and family members. (But they'll have to order their own, if they like it!)

* Edited to Add (10/12/15): I figured out how to use the Q-Flex for massage! You just slide it up and down your back. I thought it would be awkward, but if you're wearing a t-shirt, it slides back and forth easily. Now, it's not as good as an actual massage from a person, obviously, but it does what it claims. Therefore, I'm adjusting my rating up to 5 stars. Great product!

I saw this on Shark Tank and had to have it! I love back rubs, but live alone and rarely get one. I thought this would be the answer. I used to love a hard back rub, but 've found that I don't have much tolerance anymore and what used to feel good, now adds more pain.

This acrupressure device is very firm with a tiny pressure point. My mom tried it and said it actually hurt her. Naturally I wanted to return it since it will not be used at all. That is when I noticed that this item is NON-RETURNABLE. I do not know why this Item should not be able to be returned, probably to hold on to sales since you will not be able to see if this will help you. Amazon just sent me to a troubleshooting page for massagers this is not a massager. There is no turning it off and on again. BUYER BEWARE. Unless you KNOW you will like this product (be able to predict the future must be nice). I would NOT reccomend this product to anyone.

It is ok and does the job, but had to add some tape to the nub on the end to stop it from sliding all over. Somewhat small to others I’ve seen.

I tried to return this product, because it is really flimsy!! For the money, it is absolutely not worth it. Worst of all, they do not do returns.
