Trigger Point Performance TriggerPoint Foam Massage Ball for Deep-Tissue Massage, MBX Extra Firm (2.6-inch)

Used for pulled trapezius/all over neck and shoulder pain. I couldn't have functioned without it after injury. Kept it in my bag at work, and every couple hours while it was really bad I relieved pressure/pain by just leaning against a wall with it behind my shoulder. It's like if someone was using their thumb to really get into the sore spots. Amazing 👏 if you don't have $22 for a ball though, a lacrosse ball works well too (according to my physical therapist).

I have many different types of foam rollers for my piriformis syndrome pain, but this is by far my favorite. Works better than a tennis ball, and is also travel friendly! It's great for all of those times I've been sitting too long and need some relief (I've been known to sit on it in a chair during long lectures at school or even in the car!). I would recommend using it on carpet because a hard floor will flatten it out a bit. If you have a tight piriformis muscle that is literally a pain in the butt and causes that shooting sciatic pain down the outside of your leg, get this! It hurts so good when you use it and you'll feel much better afterwards.

Perfect massage ball and exactly what I was looking for. I previously purchased the green TriggerPoint Massage ball which is less firm than this one and returned it. I specifically use this to get into my hips and glutes and it is very effective (moreso than a foam roller that doesn't get into the nooks of that area). The green massage ball was useful but since massaging the hips and glutes tends to require more weight to be on the ball, the foam started cracking. I returned it quickly as I knew it wasn't going to last long and bought this one and it hasn't had any issues yet! I'm now using on hips, glutes, calves, feet and I'm sure much more as I continue to figure out how to use it!

I use this daily on my shoulder and neck area to help relieve knots which build up from stress. I used the first one so much it broke. Hoping this one holds up.

The extra firm is pretty much rock hard. There is zero give I can feel. Haven't tried the regular firmness. Went by the numerous reviews that recommended extra firm over regular. Do not do it. (I've used numerous foam rollers, lacrosse balls, massage balls, the old triggerpoint cloth ball that worked fine) For me, the product is 0 stars and useless. However, I put a review at the avg 4 star level since it was my fault for believing other reviewers over the "extra firm" it was indeed advertised as.

This tool has been a lifesaver for my foot pain. Great product.

My massage therapist recommend this on multiple occasions when I was combating a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Although skeptical, I found and ordered one and was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness and ease of use. It is an easily portable and discrete tool -- I keep mine in my desk drawer at work, though it could also be easily carried in a bag or purse. My massage therapist showed me how to adapt it to better target the top of my shoulder by placing it in a sock and holding one or both ends.

A little expensive but helped a lot with working out knots in my upper back. Doesn’t slip and the extra firmness was better.

Easy to carry. Convenient to use. Good quality.

Muy buen producto, sirve para lo indicado

I like the firmness of this massage ball. It is wonderful for releasing my back (2 tied together in a sock), rolled down either side of my spine. Also perfect for facial release of pec minor and other neck and shoulder regions.

Eficiente

Makes massaging trigger points so much easier. Very effective for loosening muscles. The only downside is the price. Would recommend.
