Meat tenderizers
Meat tenderizers
I have been using a foam roller and a tennis ball to beat tense muscles. Are there any other devices that anyone uses for this?

I use the roller from this manufacturer, which is good for any part of the thigh if you need that area done; they also have other products I haven't used: http://tigertailusa.com/
pelvic pain started 1985 age 14 interstitial cystitis. Refused medical care from age 17, did GREAT with self care for years.
2004 PN started gradually, disabled by 2009. Underlying cause SIJD & Tarlov cysts
improved with PT & meds: neurontin, valium, nortriptyline, propanolol. (off nortriptyline & propanolol now, yay!)
Tarlov cyst surgery with Dr. Frank Feigenbaum March 20, 2012.
Results have been excellent so far; but I won't know my final functional level for a couple of years.

Re: Meat tenderizers
I'm not sure which muscles you are targeting? mine are buttock ones, as in piriformis.
I did buy a slimming belt some time ago (not expensive) it had a few 'lumps' in it that buzzed. I wrap it around my p muscle area with one of the soon to be buzzing lumps located exactly where it hurts most. I can get it dug right in 'the spot' pressed up against the kitchen worktop (counter top USA I think) It hurts but it helps long(ish) term.
I have looked on line but the ones that seem to be available now are far superior to the type I have. They are all flat and neoprene. Mine has lumps sticking out at intervals. As said cheap as!
Take care,
Helen

Hi yes i did use different devices eg tennis balls etc but nothing can beat a gooood massage therapist , no elbows [ these are only lazy therapists ] , my massage therapist was on the Olympic swim team ,he never uses elbows as he say you have no sense of touch with elbows , good luck finding a good one , as i saw saw a lot of crappy therapists , 99 % are hopeless and don't have a clue and that's all therapists include physios and doctors as well , I just wish they would say this is not my field of expertise or i have some experience , as there are soooo many therapists /doctors /physios etc that don't have a clue and just want your $$$$$$$ , they have forgotten the first rule DO NO HARM .
