Epitomie Fitness Muscle Max Massage Ball - Therapy Ball for Trigger Point Massage - Deep Tissue Massager for Myofascial Release - Mobility Ball for Exercise & Recovery

This massage ball does deep tissue work on whatever part of the body you place it. Rolling over any tight muscle will be painful, but the results are relaxed muscles. I suggest you consult a doctor about your affected muscle before using this device for possible relief.

This is a great product, amazing quality! You can put this up against the wall or you can put it on the carpet. I also use it on the couch for my neck while sitting. It's a nightly routine for me now and it's truly wonderful!

Full disclosure, I was selected to beta test this product. It is very similar to another product I have through another company that I use on a daily basis, but this is much smaller. I find this doesn't work as well for my glutes or hamstrings, but I didn't expect it to because of the size. Admittedly, I have *huge* legs. This is an excellent alternative to a lacrosse ball for working out smaller muscle groups like my neck, back, forearms, pecs. The ridges help with that a lot and you can really dig deep in to the muscle tissue.The one issue I did have when the ball was new is the texture of the rubber is... odd. It is very very slick when you first get it. There doesn't appear to be any oil or anything (I washed it a few times to try be sure). Once you wear it in a little bit, that goes away and you can use it normally. But it is very slick when you first get it.Over all, I highly recommend this massage balll. If something ever happens to this one, I will absolutely purchase it without hesitation. Bonus points for being very affordable compared to the other brand I use daily.

I have chronic neck pain and this ball along with the medicine I take is a life saver!! It helps when I just let it rub into a certain spot on my neck and hold it there until it loosens up. I overcompensate my neck muscles instead of using my shoulders from having winged scapula for years and this definitely helps with my traps being sore from muscle strain. I've bought 3 of these now because I always bring them on vacation!! Couldn't recommend it enough!!!

I exercise alot and I like trying new fitness items. This ball was more of a treat or experiment for me than a necessity. I am not prone to muscle knots and when I do have pain or discomfort, I usually just walk it off til it feels better; massaging never really crossed my mind as an option for pain and tightness but I do see alot of people at the gym using balls like this one and rollers so when the opportunity to try this one came along, I was excited.Even though the size was clearly explained on Amazon, I was surprised to see the ball when it arrived. It seemed smaller than I had imagined. But I was impressed with how hard it is. It really presses into whatever body part I try it on and the material it is made of has a good amount of friction with the wall or floor so even if I am not pushing against the ball very hard, it doesnt roll away, it stays put.The packaging is attractive. The little carrying bag seems durable and lightweight enough, so I can see this being good for people who like to bring their own items to the gym with them. I do wish it came with more instruction and ideas for use. Like I said, using this was my first time using a massage ball or anything like it, so I could see on the little card it came with, that I could put it between my shoulder and the floor, between my glute and the floor, between my back and the wall but then I didn't know what I should really do after that or what I should expect it to feel like, or how long I should do it for optimal results, etc. I found a short video with a couple using the ball and smiling but it didn't help me any more than the little card the ball came with. So, I guess it has been trial and error, figuring out what feels good and how I think I should use this.I've found I like adding the ball into other stretches or exercises. Like if I am doing wall sits, massage my back with the ball or if I am going to do hip thrusters, roll my feet on the ball. Ive only had it for a week, Im sure Ill come up with more ideas.While I am using the ball, it isn't a sensation I really enjoy but I do notice I like the way I feel on the muscles I used it on later in the day. Also, oddly enough, when I sneeze, especially if I have been training my back that day, my back tenses up so much that it hurts but since I have been using the muscle max on my back, it hasn't been tensing up as much when I sneeze. That was an unexpected but welcomed result.I cant honestly say if this product seems like a good value for the money because I haven't ever bought any similar product or gone to a human massager, so that's why I left that unrated.
