Universal Double Massage Ball 8-Inch Textured Roller

Muy buenas para masaje de músculos grandes

Cheaper than 2 alpha balls and the material of the GRID STK will last longer than the alpha balls (alpha balls usually last 15-24 months depending on usage frequency). Not too soft but not too firm (lacrosse) neither, good balance.

I was a massage therapist for decades, still do Tuina therapy. One night, recently, the pattern of tension in my right upper back from years of one sided sports massage on pro runners flared so bad I could hardly deal. I worked it out as best I could, stretched, guasha'd what I could reach, foam rolled, etc but it nagged so unceasingly that I started searching Amazon for something to use when it's not feasible to get a massage, like a Thursday night at 10pm. This contraption has been more effective than any tool I've ever used. It quite hard and hurts to use at first. I like super deep pressure so that's not a problem for me but might be for others. I might recommend positioning yourself with the roller under your upper back and a pillow to lie your head on, clasp hands behind head like sit up position, knees bent for stability, then slowly lower yourself back. The pillow will decrease the intensity of the curvature in the spine that the roller creates so you can relax more and ease into it, staying this way until you feel completely relaxed into the roller, then remove the pillow. I have had virtually no tension in my upper back since the first time I used the roller and just purchased a 2nd one for a birthday gift. Can't say enough good things about it. The only issue I have is that I'm on the smaller side and I think a 6 or 7 inch roller would have sufficed.

Great perfect exactly what I needed

I've tried many and this one is the most comfortable and universal. It's well worth the premium price.
