ResultSport Spiky Massage Ball 10cm

One 10cm Spike Ball - This listing is the 10 cm ball on its own, machine-formed from a single piece of plastic so the spikes cannot work loose from the body. The Largest of the Three - At 10 cm the ball spreads pressure across the back, the glutes and larger muscle groups, where a small ball concentrates too much load on one point. Firm Texture for Fascia Work - The raised spikes spread pressure over a wider contact area than a smooth ball, which is what makes the surface workable on tissue that is too tender for concentrated pressure. PAH-Free and Phthalate-Free Plastic - The ball is manufactured from plastic free of PAH and phthalates with no glue used in construction, so there are no seams or adhesives to fail under body weight. For Runners, Desk Workers and Pilates - Rolled under the arch, pinned between the lower back and a wall, or worked along the calf, it suits people who sit all day as much as people who run. How to Use It Under the Foot - Sit down, place the sole on the ball and roll slowly from heel to toes, pausing where the tissue feels tightest. This works along the plantar fascia, the band running the length of the sole. How to Use It Against a Wall - Place the ball between your back and a wall at the height you want to work, then bend the knees slightly to let it travel across the upper back, the shoulders or the glutes. How Long to Spend on One Spot - Most people work one area for 30 to 90 seconds and then move on. Slow movement covers more tissue than pressing hard in one place. Spiky or Smooth, Which to Choose - A spiky ball spreads pressure across a wider area and suits tender tissue. A smooth lacrosse ball concentrates it on one point for a knot that will not release. Cleaning and Storing It - Wipe with a damp cloth and let it air dry. With no seams or adhesives there is nowhere for water to get in, and it stores loose in a gym bag, a handbag or a desk drawer.
