This is BS

20 lbs. She has a nice buzz to calm you while she is massaging your shoulders.

The perfect size... I grew up with a 20+ pounder... she 'buzzed', too(though sometimes you got a little drool with your massage).

If your back pain is chronic, try to find a good physio - ask people you know for recommendations perhaps. I used to see a sports physio for recurring muscle spasms that were due to an old injury; basically the muscles in my lumber region went into spasm to protect the spine when something - usually some sharp movement or skeletal stress - happened to remind my body of the injury.

This guy, who worked with a lot of rugby players, was able to diagnose me straight away due to my posture; an hour later I walked out of his surgery feeling lighter than I’d done for months. He had magic hands, but he retired, unfortunately; I’ve seen other physios since, and haven’t needed one for a while (touch wood) but he was different class.

One other thing I learned the hard way is, when the pain goes away, keep doing the exercises the physio gives you.

Hey, there are worse fatties out there. She is still cute. FFF hisses in your general direction and absolutely no shoulder massages. My husband calls her "Shamu." (She's black and white)
