Massage Balls RockBalls by ROCKTAPE

If you train a lot, you should take your post-workout recovery seriously. Whether you're at the gym, at home, outside or on the go, these RockBalls are ideal for a relaxing myofascial massage. They will not only help you recover, but also increase your mobility.

RockBalls come in pairs: a small smooth ball and a larger one with pimples. They are excellent for mobility thanks to their two different textures and sizes. You can also use them to activate blood circulation (before or after training) and to relieve muscles (legs, arms, neck, back, feet...). If you're worried that you don't know how to use them, don't worry, you'll receive instructions with the RockBalls on how to get the most out of this recovery tool.

Why did we include RockBalls in the Super Vegan Fitness program?

Before and after training are also very important moments for our well-being. What you ingest, what you drink, but also the care you give to your recovery are crucial. Massage is a good complement to any training. A study by Ohio State University and the University of Pittsburgh found that massage increases the percentage of muscle fibers in regeneration, especially when applied immediately after exercise.

Reduction of inflammation

Massage reduces inflammatory markers after exercise and may result in less exercise-induced muscle damage.

Reduction of tension and pain

The principle of myofascial release is to apply light pressure on the "trigger point(s)", releasing the accumulated tension in the muscle fibers and promoting proper alignment to the muscle or fascia. This pressure releases undesirable tension, reduces muscular hypertonicity and thus restores neuromuscular efficiency.

FAQ

All your questions about RockBalls

What is myofascial pain?

Myofascial pain, also known as myofascial syndrome, is a muscle pain that occurs when a specific point on the body is squeezed. This point is known as a trigger point. When it is squeezed, a small nodule appears in the muscles. When it is palpated, a small bump can be felt that causes local pain and radiates to other parts of the body.

What can cause myofascial pain?

Trigger point formation can be related to several factors: poor work posture, excessive exercise, repetitive movements or blows, among others. This type of pain is more common in the back, shoulders and neck and can be easily treated with stretching, physiotherapy and a change of habits.

Do I need to see a physician?

Ideally, the diagnosis of myofascial pain should be made by a physician or physiotherapist.

And how do I treat myofascial pain?

Myofascial pain can be treated in different ways. Myofascial release is one of them. It is recommended that breathing be combined with movement. These movements should be done in a controlled manner, at one's own pace and always trying to adopt a correct posture taking into account the alignment of the body. The movements should be performed in a slow and controlled manner between 30 and 90 seconds until a trigger point is found in the muscle and pressure is concentrated on that point, with smaller movements, being strong but tolerable, using the weight of one's own body. This will allow you to gradually feel the tension to seep from your muscle. If you still feel pain, the best thing to do is to talk to your physiotherapist.
