Myofascial Release Therapy Balls
Therapy Balls for the health of your fascia!
Myofascial release therapy balls target trigger points in the body and release tension in the connective tissues (also known as fascia). The therapy balls aim to restore the fascia, build tissue resilience and release tension in common areas of the body - head, neck, shoulders, arms, back, hips, legs and feet and literally any parts of the body that needs a bit of love. It can be used anywhere and anytime, takes only 30 seconds to 2 minutes on each trigger point for best result. It feels like a deep tissue self-massage.
What is Fascia
The whole body is held together by a network of collagen and fibrous rich, soft tissue webbing known as fascia that is woven all through you - covering your bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, muscles, organs and everything in-between that is underneath the skin including nerves, arteries and veins.
The fascia supports the structure of the body to maintain its shape and facilitates efficient movement. Without it, movement will be inhabited and painful and even the body will collapse as pile of bones, muscle mass or blob of brain.
“The fascial system surrounds, interweaves between, and interpenetrates all organs, muscles, bones and nerve fibers, endowing the body with a functional structure, and providing an environment that enables all body systems to operate in an integrated manner.”
~ Fascia Research Society
Our fascia is affected by our life, the lifestyle we have, activities we do, the injuries we have, being inactive, the emotions we store on a daily basis plus ageing which all contributes to the restrictions within the tissues or “fuzz”, described by Gil Hedley.

Why Therapy Balls
Not every ball is created for the purpose of the fascia. I have rolled on all kinds of balls from a golf ball, tennis balls, lacrosse balls to spikey balls but none of them work as effectively as the therapy balls that I have specifically designed. The Myofascial Release Therapy Balls are by far the most versatile and effective in reaching the deep layers of fascia, without damaging the outer layers. It is designed with the right hardness that has a gentler touch and is giving when pressure is applied while gripping on the skin so it doesn’t easily slide off. They are the goldilocks in the world of balls and is very durable.
”The density of the ball matters, using the right amount of density without being too hard. Ideally the ball you are using should be comfortably conform to the area you are rolling. You should not experience pain, as it’s actually putting more tension in your system. You should be able to relax into it or have the balls relax into you. ” David Lesondak, Fascia Specialist

Carol's Therapy Balls are truly a treasure. The size and texture of the therapy balls makes them perfect for massaging and releasing any achy body parts. They've provided great relief from pain and discomfort especially in my feet and lower back. I carry them with me everywhere I go - work trips, at cinemas, on holidays etc.
