It seems that within the massage therapy product industry there are a great deal of people trying to invent the perfect gadget or gimmick to sell to massage therapists. In the past, I have always resisted even trying these for a couple of reasons. First, I didn't want to have to interrupt the flow of my massage to grab a gadget. I also didn't want to take away from the power of healing touch. I just happened to stumble across the Thumbby
when I was at my local supply store to stock up on lotions and oils. I always take a look around to see what's new in the store. When I picked up the Thumbby it just felt good in my hand. I started asking the store owner about it and how it was to be used. He gave me a brief explanation of all of it's features, and I decided to try it. Since I didn't have a client to try it on when I got home, I decided to try it on myself. I think it's so cool how it sticks to a smooth surface and can be placed where you need it. So there I was, with my Thumbby stuck to the refrigerator, leaning back on it with my shoulders to hit those spots that all massage therapists need work on. I was amazed at how effective this was, and my next thought was, "I need 2 of these"! The next person I tried it on was my daughter, who is a freshman in college. She walks all over campus carrying books and art supplies and she always feels it in her neck and shoulders. So Mom broke out the Thumbby
and she absolutely loved it! Since she is away at college, she hasn't been able to get massages as frequently as she would like or need. So.....I have to get her 2 Thumbby's of her own. It's the best substitute for Mom's massages that we have found so far. If there is a substitute, that is. Now, I also have another daughter who has a pretty physical job. She is in another state also, so doesn't get massages from Mom as often as she would like either. Can't get my daughters to go to any other massage therapist for some reason. Does that mean they are spoiled? I hope so! In a good way though. So now I am up to 6 Thumbby's! Two for each of us.
Trust me, if you try the Thumbby
you will want more than one. Even someone without formal massage training can use this with ease. It comes with a great little brochure that shows you grips and techniques that you can use for yourself or others. Really the ideas are only limited by your mind. It is so easy to use the Thumbby, and I am all for doing the best massage without expending all of my energy. I'm so glad I gave the Thumbby a try. It has made my job a lot easier and it's also a great thing to have on hand when you need pain relief but can't get to your massage therapist right away. Think of it as a tune-up in between massages. If you already have your own Thumbby, feel free to post any tips and tricks that you have. I love to hear about new ways to use it!
