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

I have thoracic pain in my back and I’ve only had this product about a week but it relieves the tension and pain after rolling on the area.

This thing is amazing! I just used it twice and 70% pain in my lower back is gone. And it's 8 months pain after pinched nerve! I mostly used it buttocks and I didn't even expect the results I got! I lay on floor in position 90-90 (legs on my bed), so I can regulate the power I use on the particular muscle point

Best $25 I’ve every spent. I have hyper mobile joints which unfortunately extends to hyper mobile vertebra. Over the years I have come to accept that I am just going to have to deal with the fact that my back, shoulders, and ribs get out of place from normal use, no matter how fit and strong I am. This little double ball is a game changer for me. By putting this into my normal workout and stretching routine I can decompress my back and keep my spine in alignment for much longer periods of time. This allows me to get better results from my workouts, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. It also allows me to go longer periods of time between Chiropractic adjustments, and I find it when I am using it regularly to roll along my spine the adjustments last longer. The only thing I would say is that if you have a particularly muscular frame this may May be too small and you might want to get the extra large size.

Really like the RAD Balls. Unfortunately the app is mainly subscription, therefore the 4 stars

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.

For me this is one of those products that is exactly what I hoped for I was concerned the blue rad roller would be too firm like a lacrosse ball. It's not. It has just enough give to it Im guessing the black is more like a lacrosse ball but this is just a guess The distance between each ball is perfect for me to roll up and down my spine I opened it up laid down on the floor and rolled out my spine for about 5 minutes. My wife said that must hurt and I replied no the sounds Im making are ones of release. It feels wonderful. Like a free massage. It felt amazing. If you're new to the myofascial release world I would say get the green one as it has free returns. If thats to soft return it and buy this blue one. If you're used to this kind of work then get the blue if you want a little give and the black if you want lacrosse ball level pressure ( assuming on the black one ). Yes its a little expensive but Ill get years out of this thing so Id rather get the gold standard.

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 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.

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.

Such a clever little tool. I’ve almost stopped using my foam roller because this gets into all the knots nicely. Previously used a tennis ball but it would slip away. This holds steady so no danger of a slip.

ist für meine Schulter gut geeignet
