How it works

Sustained pressure on myofascial trigger points causes autogenic inhibition and neurological 'reset' of hyperactive muscle segments. Increases local blood flow and may reduce pro-inflammatory mediator accumulation.

Effective when rolled slowly and with sustained pressure on tender points (30–90 seconds per area). Do not roll directly on acutely injured areas, joints, or the lower back. Some initial discomfort is expected.

Getting started

This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
