The little tan piece is the Mini-BBB. It caught my attention when I read this (emphasis mine):

The Body Back Buddy is amazing - helps me with all those so hard to reach trigger points. Keeps me moving around in less pain. How it compares to the Theracane: heavier and a little more awkward. Curve is tighter. Sometimes the Theracane is just a better tool, but overall the BB Buddy does offer several unique features. The Mini BBB is the FIRST THING I HAVE FOUND for - the scalenes! Anyone who is using the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook (which is a must have for anyone in chronic pain - fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, overuse injuries, etc.) knows about The Scalenes! They are the bane of our existence if we sit at a desk, type on the computer..... Do not let a doctor tell you that you have carpal tunnel or a range of other "disorders" of the elbows, wrists, hands - until you have properly treated the scalene trigger points. I have been using my hands to work the scalene points until THIS item came into my life. (Which is hard on my poor hands~!) Now I have just the right tool. I don't find it that helpful for the shoulders or upper back (which is what it is advertised for) because it is too small to give me much leverage, but for those little scalene points - oo la la.

But I can't say that I have confidence in how to work my own scalenes at this point.
