Description
A small, dense ball for self-massage. Lean against it, let your bodyweight do the work, and roll slowly to work into a specific spot. Because it is small and firm, it reaches areas a foam roller passes straight over: the sole of the foot, the glutes, the area between the shoulder blade and the spine.
How to use it
Place the ball between your body and a wall, the floor, or a chair back. Let your weight settle onto it, then move slowly, a few centimetres at a time. Where you find a tender spot, pause and breathe rather than grinding through it. A couple of minutes per area is plenty.
Common places people use it: under the arch of the foot while standing at a desk, into the glutes while sitting on it, and against a wall for the upper back and shoulders.
About this ball
- Firm and solid. It holds its shape under bodyweight rather than squashing, so the pressure stays where you put it.
- Small enough to be specific. At 6.3 cm across it works one area at a time.
- Smooth surface. Rolls cleanly on skin, clothing, a mat or a wall.
- Goes anywhere. Fits in a bag, a desk drawer or a coat pocket.
- Wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Safety
Use the ball on soft tissue only. Keep it away from the spine itself, from joints and from bony areas, and do not use it over a recent injury, broken skin, a bruise, or an area that is swollen or inflamed. Ease off if anything is sharply painful rather than working through it. If you are pregnant, are being treated for a circulatory condition, or are unsure whether this is appropriate for you, speak to a physiotherapist or your GP first. Keep out of reach of children, as a ball this size is a choking hazard.
Our physios are happy to show you how to use one properly at your next appointment.

Ali –
Best massage ball. I used this for my back pain and it really helped. The physio Anand was also really good and he showed me some exercises and he did not charge me anything as well.
Simon Yates –
Massage ball is firm and I was able to get rid of my plantarfascitis pain. Physio Anand who sold the ball was helping in showing some exercises as well.
