My purchase of wooden massage tools has been a giant waste of money. Out of the four, the only one I have really been using regularly is the pull-back roller rope.
Sadly, even that has not been up to par. I bought it hoping its grid format would stimulate the nerves in my back similar to the way the DuMor benches at Calabazas do. While it does feel comfortable to lie on, it works nowhere as well; lying on the roller rope does not make my joints magically pop into the right places.
However, things are looking up. The other day my brother Chris and his girlfriend Sarah came across my wooden massage comb. They were entranced enough by this little gadget that I was ordered to bring out the rest. They were not as awed with the roller stick and the contouring paddle, but did play around with the two for a fair amount of time. (I kept the roller rope in my room to keep their grubby little paws off of it.)
In the end, Chris took the massage comb and left the rest. It’s not ideal, but it’s a start. Hopefully the other Kang family members will eventually find use for the stick and the paddle.
