The ALPHA ball is fantastic for rolling out the larger masses of muscle on your body. From hips and buttocks to full spine rolls, the ALPHA therapy ball is designed to move comfortably over bony prominences.
Whether it's neck traction, spine rolls, Quad release, IT Band, hips, buttocks or other areas, the myofascial therapy balls in this collection fit every biomechanical nook and cranny and delivers the perfect amount of grip, grab and shear!
The myofascial therapy balls included in the massage ball set offer endless opportunities for self care, massage, and getting loosey-goosey before or after exercise depending on your needs.
With therapy balls you decide how much pressure you get by placing more or less of your body weight on them, or by sinking into gravity, but to give a general sense of what to expect Jill Miller often describes the difference between the sizes like this: the smaller original set is like using your thumbs in massage, while the slightly larger PLUS set is more spread out like kneading with a fist. And the ALPHA is the most spread out, and offers the option to sink more deeply into larger areas of the body.
The more you use your therapy balls, the better they get! As they wear in they get more grippy and more scrunchable. Their unique material helps grip your skin so that you can target the precise area you want and for moving various layers of tissue independently so they glide freely (schearing). The texture is such that you can press into them and squish them a bit, and as you break them in they become a little more pliable so that they can get into all the nooks and crannies, which feels amazing in a foot rollout pre- or post-exercise.
Store your therapy balls in a dark place like a drawer, cupboard, or in an opaque bag. Long term exposure to light damages the therapy balls.
