How can I tell a real Thera Cane from a knockoff Thera Cane?

My Thera Cane is first of all a dark green in color. The web site URL is molded into the shaft of the "cane" in all caps. The weight and heft of the cane is substantial. It will flex slightly but will not bend.

Where exactly is the URL molded? I received one today (12/05/14) that was all dark green and looked exactly like the product images, BUT without any engraving or molding of the name or URL on it. It was shipped by OrganicSolutions (one word) and is different than another seller named Organic Solutions (two words).

This "Thera Cane Massager" FROM MAX MED doesn't have the name engraved on it, nor does it come with the instructional booklet. This corresponds to Amazon's stated way to identify a knockoff. I see no place in Amazon's Customer Service link to let Amazon know what this seller is doing; otherwise, I'd contact them first. I don't think Amazon ought to be letting this seller keep sending the wrong merchandise.

DO NOT BUY from Amazon seller Max Med (name is in two words, I know there's another seller with the name MaxMed &lt;-- one word together). I received my order today from Max Med and it's not the real Thera Cane, the brand name is not anywhere on the product and the instruction manual is missing. Very disappointed!!! I ordered two as gifts for my sister and my mom, now I have to return them and won't be able to get the real one in time for Christmas :(

Thera Cane is a registered name. Also, all thera canes and dark green in color. Hope this helps.

Amazon has been selling these on it's website for the past year. Go to thera cane dot com for a list of identified counterfeiters. It's usually the lowest price offered and by a shell company that has only 1 or 2 products in their store. As the owner of Thera Cane Co. I want you to know that our only authorized Amazon seller is CLASSICAL FITNESS & HEALTH.

I just received a knockoff that was sold by East River Inc and fulfilled by Amazon. I will be contacting Amazon for a proper replacement, and I have to say I am very disappointed with Amazon. Clearly I am not the first person to receive a knockoff, but I trusted I would receive a real one since I knew it was fullfilled by Amazon. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon, that means they are holding it in their warehouse and have the opportunity to inspect it, so it is inexcusable for them to be selling a counterfeit item.

I ended up with a knockoff one too, from "West Port York." This is such a scam. Everything on the page indicates that its a TheraCane made by TheraCane. This one has no name on it anywhere and came in a crumpled plastic bag with nothing else, no manual, label, nothing.

I tried a Thera Cane today at my phys therapy session. Was great. The one I used was made of some form of metal. What is the Body Back Buddy made out of please?

Buy from a reputable seller like Amazon; it should be fine - Amazon has good return policies, so if you found it to be a knockoff, return it.

I am not familiar with the Thera Cane. However, this product applies pressure to the exact spots that I need to "unkink". For me, it works. I was in both an elevator crash and an small airplane crash, so I have had issue with my back and neck since the early 90's. I know back pain and I have tried all kinds of treatment. I can do this myself and I know exactly to the point where I need the pressure. I am not dissapointed with this product.

I really don't know as I ordered the cane for a relative. Sorry I can't help you

If the seller has a wellness advocate number listed, then it is doTerra product. If they are unwilling to post their advocate number on the site, then they are likely knockoffs.

The one I recieved was a genuine Iwata-Medea part. The hologram and everything they put on the package was there. Unless this is a very very good fake it should be genuine.

It looks and feels like the real one, although the knock-offs are made so well that I wouldn't swear by it. It's never given me any problems. I'd gamble on one again.

It seems to me that the one I bought from Amazon was a real one and you should be able to tell from the quality and its weights.

I can't really tell you from the photo if this is a fake or not, the only way to tell is obtaining the bar code at the bottom of the handle and contacting the clarisonic manufacturer to find out. I don't recommend buying the clarisonic mia on amazon as some of them look/feel very real, but it isn't. After I experience buying a fake one and now having the real one, I can definately feel the difference in the brush itself and the way the brush spins. I hope this was helpful for you.

I'm sorry, I don't know. The cane I purchased was never cut. I'd try to contact the manufacturer directly just to be certain.

No, its not. I received a cheap no name knockoff one that has the same look, but with no branding.

Frankly, yes these are all "knockoffs" of eachother, there is no "real one"....many many manufacturers producing almost identical versions. Most of them are awesome. I suspect you were very happy with yours once you saw how it performed, but it is very likely if you ordered another one today it wouldnt be exactly alike, you'd notice tiny differences.

Buy from Amazon! U can go to the OB website and they tell how to spot a fake.

I'm unaware of any knock-offs, however I do have the black version of the bondi cell phone holder, and it's been great.

Mine broke the first time I used it. Find another product. Try the Thera-Cane. Works for me.
