Pro-Tec Athletics High Density Spiky Massage Ball, Red

I have had some problem with my feet - something that was eventually only resolved by purchasing custom-made orthodics.But before I got orthodics, this ball was my salvation. After a day's worth of walking, there was nothing that helped more - for the foot, back, neck, leg ache - than to roll my feet on it. What is nice is that is just the right size so that you can curl your feet around it (see attached photo, to show the scale of the ball relative to my foot); this helps a lot more than any flat surface because the act of bending the foot brings it back into shape.This unit is not completely rigid, it is hollow, so it may bend under pressure. But in my experience, this does not detract it from its function.Finally, it can be used with or without socks.After my first purchase of this ball, I subsequently made additional purchases: for my mother, for my brother, and one to keep in my suitcase for travel. Indeed, I have also found it helpful to address the cramped feeling of a tiny airplane seat...Additional recommendation: if you have foot pain, and you don't know why, I would also recommend Crocs Relief clogs. The foot bed provides a lot of support and some nice massaging pins; these are the shoes I wear at home (I don't think I'd be comfortable wearing them outside!).

I use this product for my foot. My foot feels much better since then. Great buy!

A very firm spiky ball that works on my rear end to help with Bach pain. Great value. By choice I would buy a bigger diameter ball.

I trading clients and I’m using this to restore function in their feet. Not expensive and functions like it’s supposed to. They also feel pretty durable. However, they are hard (which is what I was looking for) and some people may be looking for something softer.

This ball breaks up the fascia. I use it on my feet. If loosens all the tight spots right up.

I regularly use this ball to help with plantar fasciitis and it works great. I recently decided to get a second ball to have at work or in another room. I ordered the exact same ball, but hte one that arrived was softer and made of rubber, not hard plastic. I tried it out and could barely feel the spikes. This would eb a nice foot massage ball, but it does not work if you need it to really dig in the fasciia.

Easy to use.

Update #2: Just received my second ball and here's what I've noticed: it came direct from China and seemed a little inferior in quality. Not sure how it will hold up. I will complain to Amazon because I chose the "order again" option but after receiving it I realize that it was fulfilled by a third party vendor rather than Amazon who fulfilled the first order. Therefore make sure you look at who's fulfilling the order. My second ball did not say Pro-Tec either. It just came in a plain plastic bag.Update: 3 months of pretty regular and intense use for foot massage and this ball hasn't deformed, popped open or lost its shape. I stand on it regularly with full body weight and it's holding up just fine.I've ordered another because it's excellent for foot acupressure.Earlier review: I used this for the first time just now after receiving it and my impression is that it's perfect for a great foot massage. It's flexible but gives just enough to make the massage deep but not painful. If you like a good, deep massage this ball is just right. The knobs are firm but not painful. Time will tell how this will hold up and if the seam opens. If that happens I'll post an update. For now my feet are deeply grateful and relaxed 👍🏻😉
