The two sizes are great. The larger one is Very helpful for massaging intercostals (ribcage muscles) and are one of the few tools that can do a 4-point intercostal massage with whatever degree of pressure (and acupressure) feels best. Can even straddle a smaller...ahem..."mammary gland" [wink] for a full-side intercostal massage work. I use them while relaxing the back and watching TV or a movie...and feel much better in those areas getting thr massage. Great for intercostal strain/spasms/cramping recuperation - as from heavy lifting, carrying, overuse, etc. Also work great on the rest of the body. Leave them by the TV or where you relax and Use Them. You will quickly see what I mean. Worth every penny. I use them all the time. I can even massage my lat's with them! Remember to try/use different techniques - small circles, long and slow strokes, as well as very slow stretches of the underskin layers (you hold the skin "stuck" with the massager and stretch it verrrrry slowly) to work with and release the fascia, often even more essential than the muscles themselves when it comes to loosening and flexibility. Your body will thank you for your work by feeling almost unbelievably better for very little effort, especially while watching TV. If you tend to be active or athletic, or favor a side for lifting that tends to get overused/strained, these are a great and easy way to give back to your body. They are quite strong so I am not sure how someone broke them, unless you drop them on a tile floor or something. These are an essential in my Daily tools for body care and are a great tool for physical recovery (athletic workouts and heavy physical expenditures), allowing you to access muscles, joints, fascia with acupressure and massage. Glad I happened upon them!
