Muscle contracture pain: A contracture can occur in sports, at work and even at home. It is an irregular grouping of muscle fibres that causes pain and stiffness, these signs are treated with constant massages and should not take more than three days for there to be an effective relaxation with balls to be considered a simple temporary contracture.

The massage balls on the market will usually have the qualities that make it the most versatile for use all over the body. Foam Roller vs Massage Balls

The peanut massage ball is most commonly known for its use in rolling down the spine and not much else.It goes without saying that you'll want your massage ball to stand up to prolonged use, so it's important to choose massage balls that are made from durable materials and are designed to withstand repeated use without breaking down. Many massage balls come with warranties that allow you to essentially try out a ball before committing to purchasing it.

However, you’ll find that the balls mentioned above are likely to be more effective as they have just the right set of qualities for effective myofascial release. These different intensity levels to choose from are quite a nice feature since not all areas that one wishes to treat on themselves require the same intensity; sometimes it’s just nicer to experience a gentler form of vibration or an area of the body may be extra sore or sensitive, requiring less overall treatment intensity. Pain coming from muscles and tendons can be quite common and can occur for various reasons. Any time a muscle is overworked, it can become stiff and sore. One of the more common causes of this pain and stiffness comes from the muscle discomfort we can experience after physical activity – that feeling of having given your now tight and stiff muscles a good workout the day before.Throughout our weeks of testing, we committed to using these massage tools for hours each day. Our previously tense fascia is grateful for our efforts. Not only did we use our collection of massage balls in predictable ways, but we also tried to think outside the box as we created our testing regimen. We used our massage balls to loosen every accessible muscle group and took exhaustive notes along the way. We learned what we like in a self-massage tool and what technology we are better going without. We spent hours rolling our butts, guts, and thighs in an attempt to garner insider info and pass it on to you.

Generally speaking, smaller massage balls are best for massaging small areas of the body, such as the hands, the soles of the feet, the forearms, and the calves. You can use a massage ball all over the body by applying pressure with the ball on the body parts you wish to massage. Stop if you feel sharp pain. While some pain and discomfort is to be expected, sharp pains are an indication that you’re pressing too hard. If you feel any sharp pains while massaging, stop and adjust the pressure. The size of ball you buy will determine where it can be used. A small massage ball won't be much use if you're looking to massage larger muscle groups like your quads, glutes or shoulders, but it could ease tension in smaller areas, like in the balls of your feet. Strength Not only will you find new areas of relief that neither a foam roller nor a traditional massage ball could hit, but you can also try it out for a low price.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Manual Roll On Massager: this is the product most similar to the vibrating balls, but it does not require sliding to achieve the benefits. You only need to place the product with your hand on the painful or stiff area to get relief. It was manufactured for domestic use, for people who have no experience in self-massage. While a tennis ball can be used for this purpose, a massage ball is specifically designed to break up constricted soft tissues and target trigger points – small knots of tension within the fascia. As a physical therapist who is also a strength & conditioning specialist, I am always proud to say that I am stupidly passionate about helping others feel as physically well as possible. And I must admit that I tend to have a serious case of gear acquisition syndrome, in which I’m always playing around with therapeutic devices to see which ones can potentially best help the patients whom I work with. Lately, I’ve been playing around with a vibration ball, and man this thing is fun – and surprisingly effective. As for size, a medium size (about the size of a grapefruit) tends to offer the greatest treatment versatility, allowing me to target feet, calves, shoulders and most other body parts quite nicely. Tends to take up less space in the ol’ gym bag as well.
