3. Operating Instructions
The Teeter T3 Massager offers multiple ways to target muscle groups and provide relief.
3.1 Targeted Massage with T-Shape
- Back and Neck: Hold the T-shaped massager by the hand grips. Position the desired roller or knob (smooth, textured, or trigger point) on the area of your back or neck that requires attention. Apply gentle pressure and move the massager in small, controlled motions to work out knots and tension.

3.2 Dual-Function Muscle Roller Stick
- Detach the top hand grips to convert the T3 into a stand-alone muscle roller stick. This is ideal for myofascial release and soothing sore areas like quads, calves, and hamstrings.
- Roll the stick over the desired muscle group, applying comfortable pressure.

3.3 Back Scratcher Function
