WODShop Self Care Massage Ball Kit of 2 Balls for Mobility, Myofascial Release, Physical Therapy, Trigger Point, Lacrosse (2 Black)

After my car accident I ended up needing to have major surgery. They moved some muscles, put a pin in, and shaved some bone. It hurt being strapped in that massive sling not being able to move for weeks, and then needing to do physical therapy. Talk about being sore, and having a knot in your shoulder, is really not all that fun.With these massage balls I am able to use them to work out the kinks in my shoulder. Since they are small, I am able to sit on the couch, put it behind me while I watch TV, and let the ball move around and dig into the sore spots and help the knot go away. I was asked, why not just use a tennis balls, as they are about the same size. But with these balls, they are soft, yet firm, and not compressible, so they don't squish down like a tennis ball will. I would say these balls are on the nice side so you can relax, watch TV, and massage certain areas at the same time. Also, if I get tired of ball massages, I can juggle them. They also come in a nice sack too. Great for storing my balls so I don't lose one. From my understanding, these are basically lacrosse balls. They are priced the same as if I went down to Dick's to grab a pair of balls. But this set came with an e-book of various routines I can do with my balls. So that made this seem like a better value to me. But I wouldn't pay over $10 for them anywhere.Disclaimer: I received this product at a discount for a review, and my honest unbiased opinion.

In the two days it took to receive the massage balls, the constant ache in my shoulder that prompted me to order them was gone. But when they arrived, I tried one there anyway. I was surprised to feel that the area was still very tender and sore when I first put the ball there. As I moved it around and leaned into it all over the back shoulder area, within about 20 minutes all the pain and tenderness was gone and I could lean as hard as I wanted to without discomfort. Magic, and so easy. The instruction booklet is extremely comprehensive, discussing ways to use the balls for every muscle group in the body. This is an excellent product at a very reasonable price. I am glad to have these around the house for anyone in the family who might need them for pain.

Use for my athletes to roll out feet and other areas of tightness. Odd smell at first but dissipated after a few days.

I recently took these on vacation with me. I had locked up a muscle in my middle back, chiropractor did the best he could before I went away. I used these each night before I went to bed. I would lie on my back with just one on the spot that was in pain. It would be sore for awhile, but I would wake up in the morning feeling fine! I would highly recommend!

I love to hate this. Received the balls in a timely manner and got the mobility guide in my email. Very useful advice for rolling out different areas of the body. I am happy with this product as it does what it's supposed to do, rolling out on it is just painful, really made me realize how tight some parts of my body are.

There is NO BOOK that comes with this product. You can look-up the excercises on-line and print them yourself. Plus, mine came with no travel pouch either. The Seller did send me the travel pouch. His follow-up with the travel pouch is the only reason I am not returning these items (I bought 2). The second one was going to be a gift, but without an actual book; I cannot give this as a gift.Excercises/using pressure points with a lacrosse ball (which is made of the same material, weight and size) is really a good thing to releave muscle tension and create a postive feeling. Perhaps I should create my own book!

Did not realize I had to print my own booklet.Was thinking it came with the mobility balls. But other than that eveything is good. Thank you.

Quality massage/lacrosse balls. Quality bag that they come in. I believe I will appreciate the bag more and more. I love the colors. Great small investment in health, VALUE! Hitting my glutes will relieve any lower back pain at the end of the day. Great to use for mobility post exercise or throughout the day as well.
