Ratings and reviews

I am not a bodywork professional, but I have found this app to be super helpful with understanding many physical ailments I've had over time. Is it as comprehensive as it might be? No. Has it solved every question of every ache and pain I've ever had? No. Have I used it a lot? Heck, yes! Was it worth the (I think) $2.99 I paid for it? Yes, yes, yes!!! Many times over. I think the haters must just be cheap, because $3 is a small price to pay for just the anatomy reference this is.

This app is really helpful. I had constant pain in my calves and feet, and in the app it had a video that had shown how to fix the issue with massaging techniques.This app is well worth it. Most injuries or issues with the body in the app has detailed information on the origin of the issue in the body, and how to fix it. I really appreciate this app.

This app is amazing, has helped me with so many aches and pains as a fibromyalgia sufferer. Once you get the hang of how it works you won't stop using it
