Myofascial Releaser Ellipse Pro Physical Therapy Tool for Soft Tissue Mobilization IASTM and IAFM

I am not a medical professional. I was introduced to the Myofascial Releaser Ellipse two years ago by my Doctor of Physical Therapy. I had a total knee replacement revision. My PT used this to work on my leg muscles while I was recovering my strength and range motion. My recovery was very successful. Recently I had a fall and injured my shoulder and both my hands. I was able to observe the treatment I was getting with the Ellipse Pro. I asked a lot of questions about exactly my PT was doing and that was very educational. I began researching by watching "how to videos" and decided to order. The Myofascial Ellipse Pro included an excellent anatomy guide, that specifically informs the reader where you can use the tool and areas to avoid. I have achieved substantal pain relief and gotten back my range of motion. I use this tool for maintain and to quicken my recovery from injury. I also think it helps prevent injuries. The quality is top notch. Watch the videos and decide for yourself.

We purchased this tool in order to offer additional techniques to the patients with soft tissue injuries. We have found it to be effective, and particularly like that you can apply various levels of pressure. It's a great multi-purpose tool for working on various areas of the body and the beveled edge is helpful for getting to deeper layers of soft tissue. The quality is excellent, made of solid medical grade stainless steel which makes it durable and easy to care for. It's not large or cumbersome, making it a convenient tool to both carry around and store. It comes with a zippered case for easy storage between uses. Given that there are multiple edges built into one tool, this releaser offers the benefit of not having to interchange between multiple tools. The price point for a multi-use tool is incredible - half of what other IASTM instruments cost. We are impressed with all aspects of the tool - quality, price, value, and performance. Highly recommended!

I have struggled with the neck pain and headaches for a long time and had tried many different things like chiropractor services, yoga, acupuncture...Little did I know that the pain was the cause of adhesions that have formed over the years from wrong postures and sitting work lifestyle. I have also tried some inexpensive versions of gua sha tools that had little to no effect to my condition. I have been hesitating to purchase the tool because of the price. Honestly, it was a little over my budget and at this point I didn't know if there was anything that could help me feel better anymore. But one day I decided that I should really give it a try. When i got the box I was surprised how smooth and shiny the tool was. It was made out of stainless steel. It also came with the book of instructions and the Emollient. This Myofascial Releaser had made a big difference for me after trying all different kind of methods. It is very well designed and allows for the proper pressure to the muscle when used. The relief from stiffness came immediately. I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it! It worked wonders for me and I can truly say that it was one of the best investments I have made in my health so far.

I am a physical therapist and had been looking to purchase an IASTM instrument for personal use. I am a big fan of IASTM in the clinic (for the appropriate patient) and would often find myself at home or at a family member's home wishing I had the tools with me. My first thought was to buy ONE or TWO instruments to that end but the other brands were just not in my budget. I heard about these from a co-worker, looked around on Amazon and decided on this Ellipse tool. It is lighter weight than the ones in the clinic but durable and extremely versatile. It is very easy to handle with one hand, perfect to use on yourself. Though the feedback of the soft tissue you're working on is different from those of tools used in the clinic, you can still get that vibratory feedback which lets you know you are addressing the appropriate soft tissues that have adhesions. As an aside, I used it on my 90-yo mom last night for back stiffness...5-6 minutes of work followed by two stretches and she was completely asymptomatic. I love this tool for its versatility, ease of use, and cost effectiveness!

I purchased this tool two years ago to use on scar tissue after carpal tunnel surgery. Had I known about this earlier and understood myofascia release earlier I wonder if I could have avoided this surgery. I am an RN by profession and not a physical therapist or massage therapist, however, having recently had breast cancer surgery and resultant chording. (AWS) as well as mild lymphoedema I have found this tool and the emollient very useful. I did not receive the accompanying book when I purchased the tool but an email to the company remedied that quickly. I was very impressed and appreciative of their quick response. For me , there has been a a small learning curve in using the tool (although it’s pretty intuitive) but it is solid, easy to hold and the different surfaces are useful in a variety of ways. The tool itself gliding over my skin amplifiers and helps me identify the areas of fascia I need to address . I hope this review is helpful for anyone with similar issues.
