Stress caused my muscles to lock throughout my left shoulder blade, top shoulder, into the left side of my neck, was so bad I could hardly turn my head. I tried to stretch and do yoga, which caused shooting pains into my left arm. I went and paid $150 for a massage, which made the pain worse the next day. In fact, it caused bad muscle spasms in my neck and I was grimacing while talking to clients. Laying on a heating pad for hours eased some pain, but the muscles just tense back up again.
I ordered these balls. I got them the next morning. Opened them up and rolled around on the single smooth ball about 10 minutes (our floor is wooden so there was no give). I started just outside my left shoulder blade to loosen that tightness, and rolled the ball upward, staying along the shoulder blade muscles. That's where a lot of stress is kept. I stopped and held the pressure in place for ~30 seconds, and did arm stretches/movements along the way. Hurt like hell. The ball definitely pushes into the tense points, and that's painful. But the pressure is so focused and accurate, it's better than a masseuse simply mashing in general areas. Once I moved the ball to my top shoulder and neck, I turned on my side slightly to face a 45 degree angle so the ball could really get into the deeper pain points.
Felt so much better when I got up. Not 100%, but definitely easier and more relaxed.
4KOR did it with this combo pack! I've been blessed with plenty of knots through out my adult hood. Some days the pain is unbearable and my back, neck is just so tense. I mostly use the spikey ball and normal lacrosse ball to pin point tender spots and knots on my back. I also use it for manual massage on my quads and if you are ADVANCED and can take the pain you can roll on these bad boys. This will surely loosen those tight muscles and over worked fascia.
My favorite mode is to place the lacrosse ball between your back and a wall and just move up and down til you find a knot or tender spot and just work it out. DONT FORGET TO BREATHE!!!!!!!!! It may hurt a little but TRUST ME this will help break down those naughty knots.
ENJOY!!!!
The balls are VERY HARD, so be aware of that. They work great for getting into those hard-to-reach muscles in your lower back. I think they take some getting used to, and you have to play around with them at first to find how they work best for your body. I mainly use the peanut for spots along my thorasic spine, and have had no issues with it applying any pressure on my spine. I have a very arched low back, and cant feel anything when I lay flat on my back with the peanut underneath-so I find it helpful to lift my knees towards my chest to get the back to flatten out a bit. I dont know if that is recomended....so talk to someone you know and trust to help you with medical advice...there are precious organs in your body afterall.... My philosophy is that doctors are all (highly) educated guessers, and dont always have the answers (espicially when it comes to YOUR body. So listen to your body, do it if it feels good STOP if it doesn't-espicially when using balls as hard as these. You could easily injur yourself.
Oh ant the spikey ball....its virtually useless (in my opinion). It doesnt relieve anything, and frankly makes my feet feel very itchy afterwards (it kind of just "tickles" the nerves"
The set comes with a carrying bag and folded "instruction" sheet, but its extremely vague. Id look up some techniques and uses online if you need guidance.
Hope that helps!
Good variety. I like the stimulation of the knobby ball and I like the way the double balls work over the spine. The smooth single ball is a good alternative to the knobby ball for those who might be too sensitive for the pointed knobs but I like the knobs, they are a little rough but satisfying. My dog seems to love these balls. When he sees me take my balls out, he wants to chew on them so the included ball sack is great. I just hang the ball sack up out of his reach. So if you have a dog that loves balls you'll definitely want to keep your balls tucked away in the sack.
Simply awesome. No complaints. I definitely recommend the large (4.75”) size. I have a certification from the NASM for personal training, and learning about self-myofascial relief is part of the required reading. I used to use a big smooth foam roller, and I was always a little frustrated with how hard it was to really do anything for the knots in my back, glutes/piriformis, and inner thigh muscles (adductors). This ball makes it soooo much easier to get in those areas and break up and relax the fascia there. I can’t recommend it enough. Follow the directions and pictures. If you are less mobile use it against a wall while standing up and move it in small circles like they say over the worst knots and then pause for 15-30 secs over a knot until you feel it relax. Mentally focus on the area, and make sure you are not tensing the muscle you are working on. Deep breathing will help with this. Do NOT hold your breath. I also recommend the Resteck Shiatsu Massager.

They work! I sit much too much and have terrible lower back tightness. Laying down on the lacrosse and single ball helps to relieve tension. I was trying tennis balls but they're much too squishy to do anything. These are Goldilocks, not too soft and not too hard. The spiky ball is too squishy for my back; but it's intended as a foot massager. It works well too as a massager because I get that itchy blood flowing result.
Great set for plantar fasciitis. I use the peanut first then the rubber ball then the spiky ball. The smooth balls are hard rubber and they have a small amount of give. Yes they may pick up lint but who cares? You are using them on your feet. The spiky ball is hard plastic with no give but it feels good on your feet. Three balls and a bag for the price of one ball from other manufacturers- a great deal.
If your muscles are tight or you have knots at specific muscle bundles or trigger points, the fireball mobility ball set is the thing for you. Whether in the gym or at home, use any available flat surface and roll away those tight muscles. I have been happy with the twin balls for my back, the singular lacrosse ball for specific or pointed areas and the spiky ball is a wonderful tool for the large muscle groups like quads, calves, and hamstrings. Mobility is key because you can use them anywhere. Either use them by using your own body weight to apply pressure or use your hands where possible. Roll away relief.
I am prone to pinched nerves in my shoulders from less-than-perfect posture at work. I use the single ball to help massage my shoulders after work regularly and it has improved my comfort significantly. Plus the spiked ball feels amazing on my feet. I use these after workouts (I do Pilates which can lead to some knots if I don't keep up regularly) and after a shower. The workout tips in the package have been helpful, and the bag they came in helps keep things tidy.
Quality product! 4kor where have you been all my life!
With helpful YouTube videos and these wonder balls, I've able to work successfully on knots that I thought were permanent. Really helps release stored tension trigger points in my shoulders and neck and back. I've found it helps to alleviate intensity of my migraines that begin in those areas too. Great used right before bed, promotes really good sleep for me. Hope this helps someone else. I purchased this product and the review is my honest opinion!
