Review on Roleo Arm and Trigger Point Massager: Effective Tennis Elbow and Golfers Elbow Therapy - Hand, Forearm, and Wrist Massager for Carpal Solution and Tennis Elbow Relief by Joey Makarovski

We ordered the Roleo on the recommendation of my daughter's doctor. My daughter is a musician and plays the marimba, which is like a giant xylophone. She had many problems with her forearm, wrist and hand from holding hammers and pressing buttons - her ulnar nerve was irritated causing her great pain, her fingers were numb and her hand's function was reduced to this extent. where she could barely hold a pencil to write. She went through physical therapy for about 2 months before trying Roleo with very little improvement so we ended up seeing another doctor who recommended this. It works as described - you place it on the table, put your hand in it and move it back and forth. The upper part is spring-loaded and presses on the hand, massaging the muscles. My daughter noticed a definite improvement after using it a few times - better than anything she had seen from a physical therapist. I think if she used it regularly (like every day after every workout) it would probably basically cure her problem, but of course she's a high school student so she's not that disciplined - she waits until the pain is severe becomes, and then does . But when she does, it relieves the pain pretty much immediately. However, I will say that I missed the customer service. There's a cocking knob at the top that's meant to control the amount of pressure the spring-loaded top puts on your hand. For us, turning the knob to one side or the other doesn't seem to change the amount of pressure at all - maybe a little, but really nothing noticeable. I didn't know if it was supposed to work that way so I emailed the email address on the box to check but never got a response. I suspect ours may be defective, but I guess I'll never know for sure. Anyway it helps with her pain and it was a lot cheaper than paying for physical therapy. I would give 5 stars if the cocking button works as described in the instructions or if the support team responds to me. If you suffer from hand, wrist or forearm pain I would recommend trying it!
