Back Trigger Point Massager | LittleMum

Very happy with this 'tool'! YES, it's expensive, consider it an investment & utilize HSA if you have one! The quality of this thing is phenomenal & it's heavy! I believe it will last forever & I don't have to worry about my kids breaking it! The 'massager bumps' are firm and placed perfectly. Underneath is more flexible and the holes allow for just the right 'give' for me to relax & put down all my weight while laying on. They really did their homework when making this! You can adjust the pressure by putting a pillow under your back(above or below) if needed, I think that works a little better than trying to hold yourself up. It really works & I love that it's versatile & can be used on different parts of your body. I mostly sit all day for work & suffer from lower back pain that can get pretty intense (which led me to find this) and just laying on this for a few min makes a huge difference for me! I start with my knees bent &feet flat on the floor, then push off with my feet, to create a little rocking motion. Then I just lay still & alternate putting one leg down straight, then both down together & hold in each position for a min or 2, longer if I have time. It loosens up my tight back and I'm usually able to crack it after using this, providing additional relief! Just flip it around & put it under your butt (you'll thank me later!) I didnt know I needed it for that but it feels amazing & helps with my back, hips and legs too! You can wiggle a little side to side or rock up and down, but for lower back I prefer dropping my knees (together) from side to side with feet on the ground to simulate more of a massage feel but just laying on it works wonders for me! I wish I would have found this sooner! It's saving me from the out of pocket chiropractor visits after my insurance says I've had enough for the year lol which has helped justify the cost. I took it with when camping for a week, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Sleeping on an air mattress, I could barely move when I woke up. I used this everyday as soon as I woke up (stiff & in pain) and I was like a different person after! Comes with a nice little instruction book, give it a try if you're on the fence!

Discovered this is also great for getting knots out of my addutors and groin which have painful knots and are so tight its causing pelvic dysfunction, I put this on my Reebok aerobic bench and straddle it and it hits my tight knots so good. I like to move around to see what hits the spots, leaning forward, backwards, leaning on one leg at a time or working one side at a time... you have to move around to see what feels good.I just have my bench in front of the tv and can watch my favorite channels while sitting on it, maneuvering around and releasing these knots in my groin.It REALLY hits the spots in the back of my upper hamstrings and even adductors... I'm very creative tho and also use it in ways that are not in the manual, for example propping it up on something to raise it up and then laying on my side on the floor and doing one adductor at a time etc... but this has been AMAZING for my tight groin.I can also use this to hit spots inside my armpit (subcupularis trigger point if I lay down on the floor and put it under my armpits.... This is quite a useful massage tool that can be used for other spots than what its advertised for if you are creative

I have had a long-standing issue with my QL. I recently hurt my back and could hardly get out of bed. This device was a lifesaver and truly fixed my back with the first few sessions. It allowed my muscles to release from spasm and actually (with deep breathing well on the device) allowed adjustment of my spine, all on it’s own. I was so impressed with the results, I immediately bought the trapezius LiittleMum for my husband

I read some reviews that stated it was too heavy and of bad quality. I don’t agree with that at all. I feel that I got what I paid for. This isn’t a little flimsy tool. I’ve tried everything from balls to foam rollers and nothing has worked. My sciatica pain is now gone. I use it on my lower back and shoulders too, it is better than any deep tissue massage that I have ever gotten. I use it every night before bed. I highly recommend it. It’s well worth the $.

Not as hardcore as other Lil Mum products, but solid. Best for lowback and glutes, other Lil Mum products will be better for shoulders.(To clarify, hardcore on the glutes and low back, less intense than other Lil Mum stuff on the shoulders.)I find it very therapudic to use on my Illo Tibial Band in bed. Pokey and solid enough to give me the pressure I want, heavy enough not to move.Also absolutely EXCELLENT on Pec Major and Minor. Just lay back and rest it on my chest.

As someone with piriformis syndrome, this is one of the best tools for helping to release very tight, deep muscle pains really well. I am so glad I made the investment in this because it is really helping me. I had been using one of those balls filled with air, but it is hard to keep stable on, and I find this device to be much better at allowing me to control the areas I need deeper pressure on, where the ball is good, but hard to move on it, as it slips out all the time from movement. You could try a foam roller, but again, it is much harder to roll on for me. This is exactly what I needed for regular use to release those tightened muscles. Love that I find it much easier to use and because of that, I am able to have much better, quicker relief. Highly recommend this if you have deep, tight muscles in your hips/butt area. This brand is sturdy and I believe will last a long time with consistent use. Worth the money for me. This way, I can effectively get that deep work done at home.

I’m not sure why this product is getting so many negative reviews all of a sudden but, I don’t have one negative thing to say. I am a person that religiously reads reviews on products before I buy them and try is had so many positive reviews that I felt like I needed to give it a chance. I have been having lower back and glute pain for a good few weeks and once I started using this it helped to reliever the pain. You’re the one that applies the pressure to the pressure points and you’re the one that positions it. YOU are the one controlling everything. I even got my husband to start using it and he likes it also! Give it a try and find out for yourself. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I was almost swayed by all the bad reviews but I did my research. This is the real deal, well made and their products work. It is the next best thing to having a therapist do healing trigger point therapy on you. My low back, hip and sciatic was becoming painful. I purchased this, started out slow at about 5 minutes on sciatic area and low back. Yes it is painful but you just go slow. Each day after I saw improvement until my pain had subsided significantly in about a week. I now use this as maintenance 1x3 times a week. Other products are made from soft cheap stuff and do not provide the capability to work in deeply to get to the pain points. I saved up to purchase this and their upper back piece. Best thing I did so I can take care of my self without 3 times a week therapist or PT visits. It pays for itself.

Nice product but pricey

I have suffered with a herniated disc for decades. I have purchased several products that claim they relieve pain. Unfortunately NONE of them worked. I finally took a chance and purchased the Little Mum. I couldn't believe how fast I felt relief. The item is extremely well made and very heavy, so it doesn't slip and slide all over. It worked so well on my lower back and hips I purchased their Little Mum Trapezius Trigger Point Massager to see if it would help with my Occipital Neuralgia which has rendered me horribly in pain and disabled in a lot of ways. Again, it was amazing how different I felt after using it less than 5 times. Both items have given me the same amount of relief I use to get after paying $80 for a half hour deep tissue massage. I am thoroughly pleased with both of these terric items and would recommend them to anyone that is suffering with back, neck, shoulder and headache issues. Little Mum products are EXCELLENT. Thank You, Little Mum

I ordered my Little Mum late November after searching for lower back massagers. It came in a timely manner. I watched the video demonstrating use and began using. I immediately felt I was receiving results of less tension in my lower back. I began using it to relieve tightness in my glutes by sitting on the bumps that help relieve muscle tightness in my glutes and found it most effective. So my use is lower back and glutes and I use one or two time a day. It helps the tightness that can build up, gives me relief and I sleep better.I have three daughters inn my family and I bought each one of them a little Mum for a gift for the holidays. They all three are using and reporting relief in managing lower back discomfort . They like using theirs on their bed or soft chairs to soften the impact of the device. They all have demanding jobs that build tension in their muscles. It is targets pressure point on the body to release tension.I use mine daily and find it is very effective reducing tightness and releases muscle tension.I am thankful for finding the Little Mum because it works!!!

It gets in the most hard to reach deep tissue in the lower back area. Definitely feels good to finally hit that spot!

It's actually made of silicone, so disregard reviewers complaining about the weight. You will actually feel it. Won't realign your discs, but good for massages and relief from tight muscles from sitting and other daily activity.

I have been suffering from chronic pain for 25 years. I have been treated with a combination of Nortriptyline and Gabapentin, but I couldn’t manage the side effects. The only non-drug treatment that has worked for me has been trigger point massage, but I have had difficulty finding providers under my insurance, and I was in so much pain that I couldn’t get an appointment with pain management or a physical therapist fast enough. This device emulates the feeling I would get from massages, which can cost hundreds of dollars.The device is heavy, but it needs to be in order for the silicone to hold its shape under the weight of the body. It needs to hold its shape in order to apply sufficient pressure to the painful area. You do need to carefully maneuver yourself over it and make sure that the protrusions are aligned to the trigger points in the back. It will be painful and it is somewhat uncomfortable to use, but that is where the pain relief comes from. It must dig into the trigger points. In my experience, no pain= no gain. It is definitely worth the cost and the initial discomfort when using it.

Pros: Hits the trigger points on my: shoulders, upper, mid back ( oh those knots between the shoulder blades!) , lower back, hip bone. The type of material they use for this product is way better and comfortable compared to a massage ball because it’s soft and flexible. Massage balls are rather hard and can cause discomfort after few minutes. It is easy to use. I had to play around with it by using it on different surfaces and positions to assess where it can hit the painful spots or the pressure points the most.Cons: pricey (have to admit)Overall: This works for me and is effective for a day to day release and relief of my tight muscles. I had bought a different massage point gadget before and it did not work for me as well as this product. I’ll have to try their deep tissue back massager for that psoas and iliacus release.

I’m 27 and mostly work at my desk all day, with no history of any back issues or pain, and was an athlete from ages 8-19. I was sitting in apparently a very unsupportive chair for the past 3 years all day at work (was a bungee-cord like chair on seat and back with no actual base). One day, I want to say around November last year, I got out of my car before work and my lower right back and glutes just radiated in pain when I stood up. I couldn’t afford massage therapy or a chiropractor, and my doctors did not really do anything about it. I got heat and ice pads and naproxen to help with pain. It felt like I could never crack my back, and I often couldn’t sleep from the pain.I was super hesitant about buying this product for the price, but MAN was I impressed with the almost-immediate results. It is a deep and super painful feeling from laying and rolling around on this red thing, but hours later I felt my lower back feeling a little bit better. Now I just need to do the rest of my back! I’m excited to see how this helps

Follow the instructions very carefully, if you use this the wrong way, it can cause some issues. Especially if you allready have some type of back issues. Go easy and work with it according to how it makes you feel, after it settles in.

I purchased Lil' Mum Back Trigger Point Massager, Aug 2024. I've been incorporating it a couple of times a week into my evening bedtime yoga routine. I really like its weight and solidity. The silicon texture "grips" my mat and stays put. There's a bit of a comfort learning curve, to relax over the shape of it with all the poky bumps... but those bump hit ALL the right spots!THIS WEEK, LIL' MUM REALLY PROVED HER WORTH.I took a hard tumble - not seriously hurt, but my whole body, especially spine, was stiff and out of kilter all afternoon. That evening, I carefully positioned Lil' Mum, gently lowering my weight down onto it at each recommended location. (I was very glad to have been practicing before I was hurt.) At mid-back positions, with a couple of deep exhales, I experienced a half dozen spontaneous vertebral adjustments! This was instantly followed by a sense mental clarity and alertness...like waking up from the brain fog I'd been in all since falling. (IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I did not hit my head in the fall, or I'd have gone straight away for a medical exam.)Yes, it's a bit pricey.But is it too pricey for a well-made, effective self-help tool?Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned.I'd first ordered one of the less expensive versions... hard, smooth plastic...no weight, no give. Useless. I returned it for a refund and decided to take a chance on Lil' Mum.NO REGRETS!

Not bad

I had some sizing issues with some of their pieces of equipment and this seemed relieving and really well-made and solid. I almost kept it, but I ended up keeping the long body coated metal piece.. One made out of metal because it seemed to cover everything in one piece of equipment. This piece certainly looks useful and like it would work in a couple of areas up and down your body. It was very hefty and solid.

I was not sure about this product. It was looked like it would really help my back/glutes, but expensive and several similar products much cheaper. I have had a few bad experiences (seems like mostly the last two years) with the some cheaper versions, so decided to order the original Little Mum. The thing is rock solid (okay, heavy and perfectly firm.). I like its flexibility for working upper, mid-, and lower glutes and sacrum. I don’t know the other products that imitate the design, but am glad I did not get a cheap knock-off.More and more, I am accepting that better quality and effectiveness seem to come at a bit higher price.

My husband and I were both skeptical about this item, especially because it wasn’t cheap. It arrived and was quite heavy, but it’s well made. My husband has to use it while laying on the bed as he cannot get down on the floor or back up because his knees and shoulders are both shot and need replaced. I have used it while lying on the bed, however I do feel it works better when on the floor unless you have a much firmer mattress, which we do not. We both love this, it works great to relieve the tension in your muscles. It hits right on those trigger points to help release the enzymes and loosen those tight muscles. We love it so much that it got packed in our suitcase for our recent vacation to the beach. It’s easy to use and it truly does work! I actually need to go use it right now, lol. As an FYI, it can hurt when placing it on tender areas, but for anyone who has gone through deep tissue massages to work those trigger points, you know how painful that can be, but it’s so worth it because it truly helps. This can be the same kind of thing, it can hurt at first, a no pain no gain experience, but for me, it’s a good pain because I know I’m going to get some relief. Buy it, I swear you’ll love it.

This product is made very well and holds up to large amounts of pressure. It definitely gets deep into the muscle to hit the pressure points. Ease of use
