Review: Works great!! - This therapy ball is perfect, it works great. It not to hard and is a larger size so it is easy to hold and roll. I ordered one and as soon as I knew I loved it I ordered a second one for the car when Im on the go. I had a full knee replacement and this is a great therapy ball for massaging the leg. You will be happy with this purchase.
Review: This is So Helpful - The moment I tried this ball at my chiropractor's office, I was in love. I have never experienced anything so perfect. I told him, the minute I get home, I'm going on desertcart to order this cure-for-my-back problems ball. I did just that & have not been sorry for a moment. I tried using a softball but found it very painful when running over anything but muscles. thus making any real movement to get some massage benefits was nearly impossible. Nothing beats this Alpha ball to be sure because it is somehow firm/hard in the middle, covered with just the right amount of softness so as to prevent pain when digging into muscles, bones, whatever is there. It is really perfect in this way. A feature with this terrific item is that it is not slippery. I put it on my upper back and rubbed where I needed it. Then I moved just a bit to allow the ball to move down a bit & dug into that spot. I continued down my whole back in this way, all the while thinking, wow, I've found what I've needed for many years. This ball did not slip down too far, it somehow holds well where it is, moving just a bit as needed. It's hard for me to describe properly but I hope this makes sense. I wish this ball came with some information on different ways to use it. I'm not in any classes to see how versatile it might be. I'm reading reviews to get other ideas to try or perhaps the website might have more ideas. Add to the benefits of this ball is the exercise my thighs are getting in having to support my position to use the ball effectively. One down-side: the slight rubber smell, which will likely be gone in time. The ball at my chiropractor's office did not smell at all. Being chemically sensitive, rubber is not my favorite thing, however, the smell is quite tolerable & not very strong. It is there, I notice it, but it is not harmful or disturbing to my allergies.

## Features

- A PERFECT MASSAGE BALL FOR GOING DEEPER: at 3 ½ inches in diameter & with a grippy texture, the ALPHA Ball provides a massive amount of sheer & grip with the pressure of a fist, making it excellent for myofascial release in larger areas of the body.
- IT DOESN’T HAVE TO HURT TO WORK: made out of natural latex rubber with a compressible core, the ALPHA Ball is more gentle & effective than any foam roller, lacrosse ball, general physical therapy ball or trigger point ball, providing a deep release without causing bruising or skin irritation.
- ON-DEMAND PAIN & TENSION RELIEF: works well as a shoulder, QL lower back massager, hamstring roller, hips, buttocks, shoulder, glutes, delts, & piriformis muscle release tool. Effective for shoulder, upper & lower back muscle pain relief.
- IMPROVED MOBILIY, PERFORMANCE & MUSCLE RECOVERY: helps to warm up the muscles & improve range of motion & mobility fast, while mobilizing fluids along the spine & joints. When used post workout, the balls help muscle recovery and decrease soreness. Also helps to induce a deep relaxation response and supports deeper sleep. Lasts longer and performs better than lacrosse balls and other general massage and trigger point balls.
- USED BY TEACHERS & PRACTITIONERS WORLDWIDE: a key therapy ball used in Jill Miller’s Roll Model Method & Yoga Tune Up fitness formats, used by over 500 certified teachers in yoga studios, gyms, physical therapy, & wellness centers across the globe.

A: Are there some kind of simple  instructions that come with these balls? (B esides having to buy a book?) Thank you!  -Elaine

**Q: Can the alpha ball be used for pelvic floor exercises?**
A: Probably not. This ball is 3.5”

**Q: Are theses balls recommended during pregnancy?**
A: If your physician cleared you for muscle massage I would think using an Alpha ball would be safe.  It is soft and you can control the pressure by only putting on the amount of body weight you want.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get it!
*by T***. on October 8, 2025*

Wow this little small and mighty ball did the trick! I have always used a lacrosse ball for my trigger points but couldn’t get to all areas I needed a bigger ball for. This ball was big enough and firm enough to hit my psoas and iliac crest areas. Finally getting some relief. If you’re hesitant, just get it. It’s so worth it!
