Beastie HookTM Beastie Series products expand the RumbleRoller experience to provide more intense, versatile, portable, and affordable massage options. The Beastie Bar and Beastie Hook are hand-held massage tools that are part of this series. Beasties Series products don"t replace the RumbleRoller, but they are more specific in purpose. Use them to dig deeper into a troublesome area, or to work with greater detail on smaller muscles - e.g. those of the forearms and calves. Advantages of the Beastie Hook The Beastie Hook was created to conveniently massage your upper back, shoulders, neck and other difficult-to-reach body parts. It allows you to massage these areas while you"re in a comfortable and relaxed upright position - e.g. even while sitting on the couch in front of your TV. Although there are other hook or cane-type massage tools, only the Beastie Hook has these unique features: Solid steel construction Steel makes the Beastie Hook more durable than competing products, and also provides just the right amount of "springiness" to make this tool even more effective. Detachable contact Instead of a fixed contact point, the Beastie Hook uses a Beastie, which easily snaps into the Beastie Hook"s end loop. Of course, the Beastie can just as easily be removed and used as a massage ball when needed. That makes the Beastie Hook much more versatile than other massage tools. Multi-point contact The multiple high-friction bumps on the Beastie give the Beastie Hook better control. While the single contact point on competing products limits them to simpler acupressure techniques, the Beastie Hook can also be used for cross-frictional massage.
