Gaiam Relax Massage Ball Roller - Handheld Wooden Total Body Massager for Back, Neck, Foot, Calf, Leg, Arm | Deep Tissue Massager Relief for Sore Muscles

old-school technology is sometimes the best and that's true with this item. It does exactly what I need every time and it's sturdy so I can really press hard. Worth every bit of the $9!

Only firm massage on the outside and inner area of my upper arm could take out the tension making it hard to move my right upper arm in all directions. Maybe I have poor ergonomics. Regardless, this is so helpful to give a very firm and slow rolling down on my upper arm. The right is the worst, but I do both.Also, my left hamstring was giving me trouble yesterday, and I am using this to roller over the area behind my thigh to the back of the knee and then the calf to the back of the knee (never pushing hard on the back of the knee). Then, I am rollering over the top of the thigh too. I am not that strong, so just a regular grip to roller over the pressure points in areas I can reach, to get the energy flowing. It seems to be helping with that as well.Love this little roller. In fact, I drew a picture of what I was looking for incase my hands hurt to massage my left arm myself, and this popped out at me as the closest to my ergonomic sketch. Yeah! I was going to take the drawing to my Acupuncturist but will show him this at my next appointment.So nice to have this to assist in my home self-healing. It is close to self-acupressure only rolling instead of pushing particular pressure points to relieve tight muscles or other constriction. Who doesn't love getting a professional massage, but this just saved me $70, at the least.

It's pretty good. I have soreness from exercise. While watching tv I use it on my thighs and hips. They feel a little better. It's more comfortable over clothes like a pair of pajamas or pants than on bare skin. It doesn't snag or catch. It holds in my hand just fine. the right size.

I got this for the issues I have with Tennis Elbow. The area of concern can be awkward to rub or massage myself. This little thing is perfect for that purpose. It's easy to hold and control the kind of pressure you roll with. It's also super lightweight so you don't get tired holding it. I feel like this will serve me well in helping me to work through the tension and pain that often get caught up in my upper forearm.

It is pretty easy to use and feels good. I was a disappointed that it fell apart and I'll have to glue it better.

My son is a runner and loves this roller. Works well. Would recommend

The media could not be loaded. Great little tool to help release the fascia in my legs. Not too big and a great price.

Husband went to use this on my back. As soon as he applied slight pressure and began rolling it, it broke. The massage balls went flying. Bouncing all over the place (I have wood floors). Sound woke the baby. Husband stepped on a ball, and stumbled. As he fell to the floor I began laughing uncontrollably. Baby still crying in the background, I mustered the will to stop laughing and went to get our baby. Husband crawled slowly over to the couch to pull himself back up. The next 15 min we spent on our hands and knees trying to find all the pieces (choking hazard for the baby and all). Returned promptly the next morning. Needless to say, now both of our backs hurt.
