OPTP PRO Soft Release Ball – 5" Foam Massage Ball for Back Pain Relief & Sore Muscles – Ideal for Exercise Recovery and Physical Therapy

Great product. Very comfortable for rolling out the glutes and hip area where the tissue lies closer to the bone and is hard to reach and it can be very uncomfortable. This has just the right amount of firmness to get the knots yet it’s very forgiving. I wish they offered a larger size too.

This massage ball works magic!!!

But is working fine and may soften up a little. I use it for neck exercises.

I purchased this ball as recommended by my physical therapist to work out shoulder and arm issues. This thing is great! I put it up against the wall, lean my weight into it, and roll out the muscles around the shoulder blades and back. This has saved me from shoulder, arm and elbow pain over and over again. I even bought one for my mom who was having recurrent shoulder and arm pain. Great product and firm enough that the foam doesn’t go flat with your weight on it. Try it!

Product was softer than what I expected

Just the right size, shape, and density to be an effective Soft Tissue Release and Trigger Point Release Tool. After trying many other tools, I've found small ball release to be the easiest, most effective form of Trigger Point and Soft Tissue Release for working on myself. OPTP is a very good company that supplies Occupational and Physical Therapy products so they are already geared towards high quality, effective products. I'be used the Eric Franklin Soft Ball Release products which are also good, but I prefer the overall texture, size and density of this Soft Release Ball the best so far.

The ball arrived with a groove in one side that cannot be corrected. It looks like something was pressed into it at some point. The ball itself is nice if it hadn't been damaged.

This is great for releasing tight or sore muscles. I have rounded shoulders and my chiropractor recommended it to stretch my chest and shoulders. Seems to be working!
