Massage Ball Hot Cold Roller Ball - Relieve Muscle Pain Fast - Stainless Steel Gel Balls for Heat or Ice Therapy-Feet Pain-Plantar Fasciitis-Back Ache-Myofascial Release–Deep Tissue Trigger Points

Update: after leaving the previous review of my initial experience, the company reached out to me to help out with the issues I was having. I found out the silicone base of these balls could be removed, (I hadn’t even realised that), and this helps a lot with the ball rolling better and not sticking. But since I was still experiencing some pinching due to the area of the body I was using it, they sent me their other product which is a larger ball and doesn’t have the indentations on the sides, and this one works perfectly for my needs. So overall good products, and my utmost respect for a company willing to go the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy with the product.Old review: It may be better on larger/ flatter skin area, but having recently received Cool Sculpting therapy, I was told to massage the lymph node areas of the armpits and inner hip areas. I thought these would make that easier than just doing by hand. So I started out on the armpit, and multiple times my skin got caught in the plastic part, and it hurts! So, I don’t think I can use these for that purpose. Haven’t tried on other areas yet, but disappointed in the design.

I actually like this product gets really cold.It works perfectly for the bottom of my feet.Every likes it's my muscles.The massage that I get for me is effective stephanie worth the money

I got this to help massage my husband's back. The only complaint he had is that the hairs on his back sometimes got caught in between the ball and the handle. He seemed to like it otherwise. Said it got deeper into his muscles than when I just used my hands to massage his back.

I needed this for a knee injury and the dr recommended I get one of these for easy ice massage. As soon as I got it, I placed it in the freezer and a few hours later it was nice and cold.It does get very cold but since I was moving it constantly it never became too uncomfortably cold in any one place.However when it’s cold the ball is much harder to roll and catches a lot. It’s the perfect size and it’s feels like it will last, not cheaply made at all. I was able to apply different amounts of pressure depending on the area and soreness, which I loved but it really was very difficult to roll until it was just a little colder than room temperature. Wish it rolled smoother.

I got one day free shipping on these bad boys (I ordered two), and so far I am a big fan! I got them for my husband who is unbelievably tight in his shoulders and back cause very bad migraine head aches. I figured this could be a good option apposed to spending hundreds of dollars on a regular massage outside of his regular adjustments.I used them after warming them in warm water and used coconut oil to help them glide on the skin nice. I had read a few people had trouble with them not moving freely enough, but I had already had it in my head to use the oil to prevent any friction on the skin. It worked perfectly! While my husband was a bit nervous at first (mostly that I would ask for him to return the favor) he found that it really did help and feel very good afterwards, but as anything only time will tell if this is the trick!I did get a bit of a calf massage myself as a thank you and I will say that it was much better then when he using just his hands, since he tends to pinch and it hurts. This was just nice even pressure gliding back and forth, removing a lot of the human error that regular massage from a partner can add. I would recommend these highly! I hope to see the long term effects for us both!

If you're currently using a tennis ball, just stop. Stop immediately and buy this. I use it for plantar fasciitis, and I'm spellbound after simply trying it willy-nilly and not actually getting into it. This does not flex under pressure of my instep. It's naturally cool already but the options to cool and warm up are enticing albeit not yet something I've attempted or felt the need to attempt so far. I took it out of the little nonslip, hard silicone base because it was too nonslip for me. I could see how it would be handy though in different usages than my own. I love it.

We always seem to have aches and pains after the gym and it is nice to be able to roll out a sore muscle quickly and without having to get down on the ground with a foam roller or setting up a heating pad. This very easy to use massage tool can quickly ease the pain of a sore muscle- worked well with both hot and cold.The timing was perfect when we bought this...started having some foot pain from running/jumping and the ball is particularly effective for rolling out a pain in your foot. I seem to prefer the "hot" version (you just submerge in hot water), but the cold version also works very well. I liked how quickly you cold apply the cold and then hot- the ball changes temperature very quickly. Highly recommend!

The ball will not rotate in the holder, it tips over very easy. Sending back to get my money back
