Really awesome to reach your knots
The Theracane is well designed to reach your muscle knots. Most of my neck pain is gone after using it and Where my pain was constant it now intermittant and not debilitating. The cane is very sturdy. It lost a star because it is so costly but it is well worth the investment. You'll better understand the phrase "hurts so good." I would recommend the trigger point book by Clair Davies to go along with it. This book The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Editionis well written and it truly helps you understand reference of pain so you locate the proper knots.

Works Great! Looks...uhh, weird.
Right now, I've got five self massage tools, four of them recommended by therapists: a foam roller, various rubbery balls from sports that I don't play, a plastic roller encased in a handy grip, a vibrating heat pad for car/chairs (not recommended by anybody including me) and the theracane. The theracane is the most effective, period. It is easy to use. The foam roller is an OK. The roller is good for large areas like my back but awkward for many other areas. Unfortunately, it takes such a long time to roll out cramps in my back that I start to pick up cramps in my arms and legs from supporting myself. I compromise by loosening up with a bit of rolling and using the cane for the heavy duty work. The cane lets you really use your muscles to hit spots, even the ones you can reach with your hands, so it is much more effective plus it saves wear and tear on your hands.
I received the theracane and started using it immediately with the help of the enclosed booklet. My stiff knee started to loosen with the first session and six days later I noticed I had stopped limping. I had ordered the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clare and Amber Davies to go with the cane. It arrived 3 days later because of a long weekend. The book was very helpful. I had a vague idea of which points to start with because I could feel the knot in the big muscle in the calf but the workbook is very precise and now I'm working on some of the smaller hidden muscles.
I also tried some of the other sections in the workbook. I have TMJ but it's not really a problem. My jaw gives the occasional click with no pain. I tried some of the trigger points and after one session, one side of my jaw is click free! The other side still clicks slightly. Sigh, there is no magic bullet. I guess I'll have to repeat that section.
Overall, the theracane massager with the workbook is better than the run-of-the-mill masseuse. You'll need someone very well-trained to do a better job.

Works very well...
My PT recommended this to me because of knots in my shoulders that never seem to go away. This really helps with my sore neck and headaches and I can do it anytime. It really is very versatile and with a little practice, it really adds to your physical well being.

TheraCane
This is one of the best tools my massage therapist ever recommended. It's the BEST for trigger point therapy work @ home.

Hits the Spot!
Buy this odd-looking, yet extremely handy device if you have a hard-to-reach spot that needs constant attention. Especially useful for the back or if you need to apply a good amount of pressure on spots such as the bottom of the foot. Things I like best about it include:
-it's lightweight
-handles positioned so you can keep pressure on a spot while rubbing
-is in the shape of a "hook" so virtually no spot is out of reach
Intended for those who need to regularly massage out tense areas in the muscles, it's a very useful tool- and cheaper than therapy! Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you suffer with this most annoying foot condition.
