Rattan Backknobber 藤背鉤

What is a rattan backknobber? It's a massage hook, a very useful tool to massage those hard-to-reach muscle knots (myofascial trigger points) in your back, especially the ones along the border of the scapula.  Muscle knots can cause a lot of discomfort and tension in your back and neck.  If you are constantly in front of a computer, you know what I'm talking about.  

長期在電腦前會讓我們的背與頸部很累。這個藤鉤是好用的按摩器，可以按到自己手按不到的地方，疏通背後緊繃的部位。

When you use the hook to massage the knots, you will experience a very sore pleasure and relief.  Massaging the acupuncture points on the right is a great way to release  tension in your scapula, shoulder, upper back and neck.

按這些針灸穴位可以放鬆你的肩胛骨，肩背與肩頸。按的時候會又酸，又疼，又爽的感覺哦！

The thing about this tool is that it’s not very cool to have.  It’s very old-fashioned, something my grandmother would buy.  And the grip is rough on the hands.  So what to do?

但是這個按摩器看起來真的很菜市場，只有阿媽阿公會買的東西。手把也很粗，不好握。怎麼辦？

Why not clothe it?  New outfit, new look.  

幫它穿衣服！年輕多咯。
