RAD Original Peanut Massage Ball – Medium Density Yoga Deep Tissue Roller Ball – Myofascial Release for Back, Neck, Feet, Psoas & Spine – Suboccipital & Thoracic Trigger Point Therapy

Just took delivery of my Medium density yesterday. Simple but highly effective product. Deal with chronic thoracic, lumbar and cervical pain, and this will no doubt be my favorite physical therapy tool. In the past I have used golf balls, lacrosse balls, BackMagic, inversion, TENS, stiff foam roller, a Theracane and other gadgets -- all with varying degrees of success. Blue is hard enough Was inclined towards the black one, but I'm glad I went with the blue. I'm a fairly big guy, and I like aggressive neuromuscular and pressure point massage. I was concerned the blue wouldn't be rigid enough to really penetrate and stay on a point. Read somewhere online that the slight give of the Mediums actually penetrates better. I find this to be the case. Moreover, I have to believe it's safer to use; anything more rigid might hurt or injure the vertebrae. I lift my pelvis and put all my weight on the Rad Roller no problem -- so the blue is the perfect balance. IMHO, no physical therapist or masseur is going to be able to get as deep into the muscles as the Rad Roller. If you have a hard time cracking a stiff, hunched thoracic region, this thing is for you. Something that works for me -- I find that placing the Rad Roller between my back and a doorframe, I can push with my arms to generate significant leverage -- it's a great release. Ask your PT or doc before trying this -- just sharing what works for me. Also excellent tool for posture exercises.

I was between medium and the black firm one, and glad I went with the blue. It's still pretty hard and digs well into those spots. My boyfriend has an older version where the material is more like matte, whereas this one is more latex-y and as a result, when I'm rolling the bottom of my foot on the ground, it's picking up every hair ball and dust bunnie. But shouldn't be a problem after I rinse it under water. It's been working great thus far. This ball thing works wonders and you should get it if you're thinking about it!

I have suffered from neck pain for a long time. I work out. I def use the phone and computer too much and hold tension in my upper back. This device feels like the most intense price trigger point massage. I’ve never been able to exert this pressure on my knots and I now do it every night And everyday my neck feels better and better. Also great on the back too.

I love Rad products! I use the Rad Rounds a lot but I wanted something to roll my ankles and neck. The Rad Roller does exactly that! However... I received a used one that had dead skin flakes and hair on it. I promptly CLEANED with hot water and soap and I'm praying that I don't catch any diseases. I'm really disappointed with the seller as they should do a lot better refurbishing returned products and not selling them at full price as if they are new. Totally not cool.

Great product, helps my back!!

If you're missing a total body massage during quarantine this is the next best thing! The RAD Roller is amazing! Not only can you roll out specific areas, but mix and match techniques such as compression, flushing and shearing. There's a great guide to self massage that's included with the RAD Roller. I've been practicing lots of yoga and use it before and after my practice. Even after a 10 minute use I feel immediate benefits! You can target sore muscles, detox and stretch out muscles. The size is perfect for travel.

It's small, hard to maneuver be assured I'm doing it correctly. Very scant directions It might be helping a bit. Not sure yet. Used YouTube videos

I am 50 years old and been doing something active my entire life from mountain biking, hiking, running, lifting weights and yoga. I thought my yoga practice help me stay flexible until I learned about using a foam roller..... Since then, I have used many different types and brands of rollers, massage balls, tennis balls, lacrosse balls, etc. You name it, I've probably rolled out on it. This tool has been the ABSOLUTE BEST ROLLER for releasing fascia and relieving tightness and pain. I have become more flexible in my yoga practice, recover more quickly from intense workouts and extreme adventures, and have far less injuries. I always have a Rad Tool with me wherever I go. I travel a lot for work and the I can't imagine being on a plane without this Rad Roller. Where I used to have to get up and stand for a bit at the back of the plane because of pain, I am able to sit for long periods of time thanks to my Rad Tool. BUY THIS!! It will change your life and relieve SO much pain. And check out their other Rad Rollers. I use them ALL.

ist für meine Schulter gut geeignet

The RAD Roller is such a great product. In my opinion, it is much more effective than a conventional foam roller and does a phenomenal job at releasing tension in muscles. There is a slight learning curve, but the company offers great videos on youtube to demonstrate various techniques for utilizing the product. Overtime, I have been able to better understand the problematic areas in my body (a lot more than I expected). I used to go the chiropractor every 2 weeks to correct my posture, but now I will only be going after several months for routine adjustments as the rad roller is great at loosening my back muscles (or any muscle for that matter) to help me correct my posture. Additionally, using the RAD roller on my neck has been very relaxing and I never realized how much tension everyone holds. I would highly recommend this to everyone and not just people with pain/tension, as it results in great relief and relaxation. I would also suggest that anyone who purchases the RAD roller also purchase the RAD block. I do not have a RAD block but after using the RAD roller, I have seen the limitation of the techniques that can be done. The RAD roller is great on its own, but shoulder and upper back muscles are difficult to massage without a block.

Works well but for what i had it was more severe. Ok for muscle aches.

This is an amazing product which I use all over my body. Comes with handy instructions to get the best use of the roller. Everyone who comes around my house ends up using it for niggling aches and pains. Brilliant product.

THIS IS THE BEST THING IN THE ENTITE WORLD. if used properly it’s amazing. Would recommend to anyone and always good gift.
