At first I was intrigued because it looked so funny. But then I started reading the reviews, all of which pretty much said the same thing: Yes, it resembles a lobster, and yes—it really does help relieve back, neck, head, and shoulder pain—and fast.
To say I cosign all of those reviews and then some is an understatement: This lobster is so life-changing I want to gift it to everyone I know and love for the holidays. But for now, I’ll settle for “gifting” the knowledge of it to you.
At this point you’re probably wondering how or why this bizarre object could help temper pain. Well, adopting my lobster finally made me realize that most of my headaches were actually the result of tension in my shoulders and neck.
Obviously, this is uniquely problematic for someone who spends so much time hunched over, typing on a laptop (much as I’m doing now), but you definitely don’t have to be a writer to benefit from its use. In fact, I’ve noticed that my tech neck is actually worse when I’m using my phone.
To use the lobster trigger-point massager, simply place it on the floor, a couch, or your bed, and lie down on top of it, aligning it with your neck and shoulders. It might take some adjusting here and there, and a little bit of getting used to, but once you find your positioning, the pressure point respite is indisputable.
