Due North Foot Rubz Massage Ball -Roller for Plantar Fascititis, Hands

Wow. I’ve tried a lot of different foot massagers for my plantar fasciitis but this is the one. Major major relief. It gets right in there where you need it. Wasn’t sure how I’d like the spikes but they are helpful at getting into the tough spots too. This is great for rolling the hands also. This was the cheapest option that I purchased and it’s fantastic. Buy it if you have plantar fasciitis too!

I'm not sure what kind of magic this ball is made of, but it exceeded mine and my husband's expectations. My husband works on his feet, sometimes 12-14 hour days. His feet always hurt, and he said sometimes it feels like plantar fasciitis. He was using our daughters wooden tomato (play food for her kitchen) for his foot, and I was pretty unhappy about it. We have a foam roller, which has been one of our best purchases (seriously, for back, hip, legs, whatever...they're amazing!) so I was hoping Amazon would have something similar for feet. I found this little ball and saw all of the amazing reviews. I read through, and honestly, I was skeptical. I didn't see how this could help, but I figured it was cheap ($5-6 at time of ordering) so why not give it a try. My husband used it the second it got here. He said only 5 minutes made a huge difference. He loves it! He also has hand pain (he's had surgery on one for guyon canal release and carpal tunnel and is awaiting the same surgery on the other) and this helps relieve it. I suffer from hand pain as well, arthritis of the thumb joint and what sometimes feels like carpal tunnel pain. This little ball does wonders for relieving my pain as well. It doesn't last long term, but it's a welcome instant pain reducer. I also have muscle pain in my shoulder blade areas and in my lower back. Since my husband has hand pain, he's not able to rub my back often. With this, he can use it to rub my back, and it massages his hand at the same time. Two birds, one stone! I've used this ball on my hips, outer thighs, calves, shoulders...basically anywhere you can think of. We're going to get at least one more, probably 2. Such a great value for the money.

Oh, my gosh, this thing is AMAZING! It doesn't look like much, honestly. It's a small, dark green, rubber ball that fits in the palm of your hand. (Slightly bigger than a golf ball, but much smaller than a tennis ball.) It's covered in flat rubber "nubs," so it looks a bit odd, like some kind of weird, alien fruit. But don't let its appearance throw you off. This bumpy ball will save your feet from misery! It resembles a dryer ball in many ways, but it's not the same at all. It's softer, more rubbery, and the nubs are flat-topped and short, so they won't hurt your feet. How to use it: Drop the ball on the floor, then (gently) step on it with a bare foot. (Or you can wear socks, if you're modest.) Move your foot, rolling the ball around. Up and down, back and forth, in circles---whatever feels good! It's like getting a foot massage---only better, because you control exactly where you're being rubbed, and you control how hard or light the pressure is. If you have balance issues, sit down before using it. Or lean against something, so you don't fall. Note that your feet may be extra sensitive at first, like how you jump when someone first starts rubbing your feet, especially if they're extra sore. Go gently until your nerves adjust, and then you can press as hard as you like. I haven't tried massaging my back with this ball, although it should work for that, too. For a back massage, my suggestion would be to put two of these inside a very thin sock. (If the sock is thick, you'll lose the benefit of the little nubs.) Knot the end of the sock, then lean against a wall, with the sock resting against the part of your back that needs massaging. Bend your knees and move up and down, rolling it against your back. Press harder if you need more pressure. A physical therapist taught me to do this using two tennis balls inside a sock! It works great for accupressure, as well as reaching muscle spasms or pinched nerves in your back. I'd imagine this product would be even better than tennis balls, since it's smaller and has the rubber nubs. Even if you only use it for your feet, it's a bargain at any price. I can't imagine how I survived without it all my life! Five stars and highly recommended for anyone who does a lot of walking, or who stands all day. Bring one along on your next trip to a theme park, or use it after a long day of shopping! Your feet will thank you.

I hesitate to review products so soon after getting them but my initial reaction is that this little ball is a life saver! I suffer from severe plantar fasciitis in both feet. I'm at the point where I ice my feet everyday, stretch, wear splints at night, keep walking to a minimum, and take Ibuprofen on a regular basis. Still, I'm in a lot of pain and this has been going on for three months. I'm sick of it. At the end of my wits I decided to get this. As soon as I opened the box I played around with it and felt immediate relief. I was worried it would be too much for my feet to handle (I'm both very ticklish and can't handle any pressure anywhere on my heels because of the PF) but the sensation was really relaxing. The little nubs, for lack of a better term, are flat on the end so they don't dig in too much (I saw a review for a similar product in which people complained that the "spikes" were too much). I was able to apply more pressure, even on my heels, after lightly rolling around and getting used to the feeling for just a few moments. The ball fits perfectly under my fallen arches and is easy to control with just my feet. Today was the first day in weeks and weeks that I haven't had to limp to the bus to and from work. This thing is great while sitting in front of the TV, under the desk at work, first thing in the morning before standing up out of bed (the worst time of the day for PF sufferers!) and I even rolled it around between my feet and my shower wall while kicking back in a hot bubble bath. So convenient!

This little massage ball is about 10x better than I expected. Works great on hands to warm them up before gaming, works great under a standup desk to stimulate your feet and keep you moving. The nubs are strong, not squishy, and provide all the pressure you want. If you have pets, they may chew it.

When you're heavy, flat-footed, and physically active, aches and pains become a fact of life. At home, I have massage sticks and a foam roller at my disposal. But the Foot Rubz ball is the tool I take with me when I'm on the go. It's tiny, so it's no big deal to toss it into my purse when I'm heading out for a day on my feet or into my backpack when I'm embarking on a hike. I use it mainly for my feet, but in a pinch, it's helpful for my legs too, when my quads get tight and I want something firmer than my fingers to press into them. I often find myself fishing it out of my purse even when I'm at home, to roll it under my feet as I sit. I probably should have gotten two, to do both feet at once! I've had it for a year, and it's in the same condition as the day I received it -- no breaks, chips, or anything coming off. Keep in mind, massage in the context of a product like this doesn't mean a soft foot rub or some gentle kneading at the spa, but a forceful, deep-tissue, hurts-so-good sports massage. Expect some discomfort. (It will be worth it when you feel better in the end!) The Foot Rubz ball isn't the strongest massage tool on the market, but it's certainly better than nothing and hard to beat at this price and size. I've recommended it to friends before, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it again as a small, cheap, portable tool to help loosen up tight, sore muscles after a day on your feet.

Wow I have just been using this for a few days. I have had pain for a month on the ball of one foot. This has done wonders.After a few days the pain is 90 percent gone. For the price and results this is amazing. You have to try.

This little green guy works wonders. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and certain workouts can cause flare ups. It was super easy to roll my foot on the ball while watching tv. It provides a good massage and intensity can be increased by pressing the foot harder into the ball. The design on the ball really works the foot muscles. I highly recommend to anyone who is hard on their feet.

ちょうど硬さで足の裏をほぐしやすい

Tenía dolor en la almohadilla del pie, justo debajo de los dedos, y la verdad es que me ha aliviado bastante, parece que activa la circulación, muy contenta.

buena txtura,se ve de buena durabiliad de vida,se recomineda su compra

Awesome for anyone looking to relieve tired, achy feet. I like this ball for the spikes and the rubbery texture allows for it to dig deep into the foot without slipping. It has good grip to the feet whether you use it on a bare foot or with socks. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and it's not fun!!! Anyone else who suffers from this will know what I'm talking about. I use it everyday and it helps keep my feet healthy! People aren't aware but a lot of joint pain (knee, hip, back) are a result of bad feet. I take this with me everywhere I go so if I need some relief after exercising or a hike, it's small enough to have handy. All your weight is beared by your feet so I take care of it with this tiny little wonderful ball! Definitely recommend this for anyone.

Dieser kleine Massageball erfüllt voll und ganz meine Erwartungen. Ich bin Tänzerin und habe oft verspannte Fußmuskeln. Er ist kleiner und nach meinem Empfinden auch härter als ein normaler Tennisball, den ich sonst unter anderem benutze um meine Verspannungen zu lösen. Mit dem Rubz Massageball erreicht man auch die kleinen Muskeln, die in der Tiefe liegen, sehr gut. Ich bin begeistert! Auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung :)
