These could not have come at a more perfect time... my work had a big BBQ/Birthday Party celebrating some "big" birthdays that are happening in 2018 (30, 40, 50 & 60). There was beer, wine coolers, and a football. It's probably been about 5 years since I've last thrown a football and after a couple of the aforementioned beers, I'm throwing like an NFL quarterback. Needless to say when I woke up the next day I could barely move my throwing arm... These yoga balls were my life for the next 24 hours. I started with the softer one, laying down on the floor and placing it between my shoulder and the floor and ooohhh man did it hurt good. This ball single handedly worked out knots in my shoulder, middle and low back. The following day I was nearly pain free. These are also really great for stretching out foot muscles after running and relief of general knots and soreness day to day. I think I have used them on a daily basis to just massage tired muscles for at least a week. Love this set and highly recommend it!
Love these things. I bought them because every once in a while the muscles in my lower back will just cramp up. These will really help if I put them between by back and the wall and release the pressure in the muscle. They're not too firm, but firm enough to get good pressure in the muscle. Plus, they come in a cute little bag.
I purchased these on the recommendation of my personal trainer. I lean against the wall with them pressed against my upper chest (right below my collar bones) and roll them around until I find a particularly tender spot. I stop on that spot, lean in to it, and take a deep breath in & out. I do 3-5 breaths on one tender spot, pressing into the spot a little harder on each exhale. It has helped to loosen up tension and tight muscles that I didn't even realize I had issues with. I thought all my tension was in my back and shoulders, and I used to spend so much time trying to get those areas to loosen up. By switching the focus to releasing the tension in my chest, my upper back and shoulders have finally started to feel better. It's much easier to stand up straight and roll my shoulders back thanks to using these balls for for a few minutes every evening.
"Acupoint" Set Of Two physical Therapy Balls, Ideal For: Yoga, Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy And Self Myofascial Release Massage Therapy Tools.
I use the therapy balls for my feet. They come in a little bag which is very VERY nice to keep the ball from rolling away too far you. They are very effective and a 10 minute foot pressure allows me to get through the day, sometimes I need to do it twice a day. So worth the money!
That is my 3rd time to buy this set. I am a personal trainer and I needed them for my clients. What is different about Acupoint that they are softer than normal lacrosse balls, so they could be easily used for upper body, neck and stiff areas. Unlike the hard balls that can hurt and make the client stiff and unrelaxed.
I love the quality of them and they are durable.

Description
Relieve muscle pain and soreness with this set of therapy balls. Made with the perfect hardness, these therapy balls are ideal for massage therapy and self myofascial release. Self myofascial release helps smooth out hard muscle knots to reduce tension. The fascia, or sheath of fibrous tissue around muscles and other organs, can become tightened and hardened due to stress, dehydration, injury, inflammation, or repetitive activity. Self myofascial release techniques help return the fascia to its normal state. These therapy balls gently apply pressure to help the connective tissue release. Use these balls to relieve muscle tension in arms, legs, shoulders, back, knees, hands, feet, and other areas of the body. Get relief from neck pain, sciatic nerve pain, fibromyalgia, and other ailments. While you could use a lacrosse ball, we design our therapy balls to be softer than lacrosse balls. We use specially-designed, non-toxic, high-grade rubber. It doesn't smell and is durable, so you can use these massage balls for sports season after sports season. Our massage balls are made to last and won't deteriorate easily. And the best part is that we provide a mesh bag for easy carrying! The set of 2 massage balls (approximately the size of tennis balls) comes in a mesh bag to make them easy to carry on vacation, to the gym, to the office, and more. These massage balls are physical therapy equipment and are not intended as children's play toys or bouncy balls.
These balls are "the balls"! (Pun intended!). I took a yoga class where the instructor used these rolling balls for certain parts of the body. They hurt so good, I had to have them, and I even bought a set for my son, who is a runner and soccer player. These balls loosen tension in areas that other props can't get to. Back of neck, feet, knees, calves, shins, sacrum...If you have pain, and tension, you need these balls!
Mark's wife here. Pregnancy has graciously come with some leg and foot cramps, leaving the arch of my foot in pain. These balls have been wonderful to use. I even just left them in the mesh bag, set them on the floor and rolled my foot over the top-no rolling away on the hard wood floors! It's been a great help and relief for my sore foot! They are firm enough to really work the muscles, but also have some flex. Added bonus-they bounce really well and have been highly entertaining for my kids.
These massage balls were just what I needed... In the beginning. I want to say the lasted about 10+ months and then began to get soft and now the are soft and kind of squishy. Hence the 4 stars. Probably would have lasted longer if my husband didn't use it. That said, If you want something that's not too hard and you don't mind repurchasing maybe once a year, this is a decent option. Most balls are two hard for me and if they even touch my spine they hurt. I can roll this from left to right over my spine and it has a relieving pressure that doesn't hurt but still gets deep into the muscle giving much neede relief. Because my body is sensitive, I am considering purchasing this again.
So great for trigger points they're keeping my tension migraines at bay as much as can be without having to go in for therapy.
Love my yoga balls. This is my second pair. I gave one to my parents. I work out a lot and always have soreness all over my body. So these two little balls work wonders. Highly recommend for anyone with shoulder or back tension as well.
