The Knobble® II is the newly designed cousin of the all-wood classic favorite of therapists and self care enthusiasts. Still about the size of a standard doorknob, it is made of durable polymer. The base is held in the palm of the hand, and the smoothly rounded tip is used to apply pressure to trigger points in soft tissue. The Knobble® II has the added benefit of a soft band of non-latex, Santoprene around the base that allows for friction techniques. Bodyworkers often use the Knobble® II to save wear and tear on their hands when applying deep, prolonged pressure to knots or strands of contracted muscle. But the Knobble® II is not meant to replace your healing hands, only to help them do more and last longer. Remember to position yourself in such a way that you use your weight, not just your strength, to apply pressure to the muscle. Avoid direct pressure against the spine and other bones.

Great for travel or the office:
The Knobble is a very useful tool because you can use the hard tip for a specific knot or the only slightly softer sides for a larger area. It works great in the car or the office chair, which makes it more useful than the cane.
perfect for the hand:
as a long-time sufferer of soft and connective tissue injuries (computers no less), I find the knobble ii a perfect fit for the hand, allows me to get to trigger points on my body without causing further strain in my hands or my forearms. very highly recommended!
Good PT tool:
The Knobble II is easy to hold. I use it when I do physical therapy on others. Its much easier on me than using my fingers to push trigger points. It's also good for loosening knots in backs.
