There are many tools for massage both for trigger points and for fasciae. It happens very fast that one loses the general vision. On the present page, we will show you the tools that we use and that convince me.
But first of all, we would like to provide you with some general information about these devices, so that it is easier for you to choose the one that best suits you. The use of psoas.net happens to be useful here.
- Which massage tool is for you?
Usually, the tools for massage are distinguished in two points that are to say in the part of the body to be massaged and in its degree of hardness.
Soft utensils
- Soft and flexible utensils are indicated for
- Beginners and less active people
- People of the Third Age
- Sensitive people
- The tensions
- Muscle relaxation
- Mobility improvement
- Blood flow stimulation
Harder Utensils
- Harder utensils are indicated for
- Athletes
- Tensions
- Persistent tensions
- Very intense massages
- Muscle relaxation
- Mobility improvement
- Blood flow stimulation
If in doubt, better choose a tool for gentle massage. That avoids frustration. Many people buy a very hard foam roller, but then they never use it. Because to start with self-massage, it was simply too hard. In fact, that is a shame, because then you will never get to enjoy smooth and relaxed muscles. It is always possible to buy another massage tool at a later time.
Fields of application
Unfortunately, many massage tools, and in particular foam rollers, are almost praised as being miraculous remedies. According to, all areas of the body can be massaged with them. It is not a lie, but neither is it true. Each massage tool has its advantages and disadvantages. With a foam roller, you can never massage the lower back so precisely and effectively that with a massage stick. The foam roller cannot replace the back massage with a massage ball.
However, as for the massage of the legs, it is invincible.
Massage sticks: For neck and back
Massage sticks form their own category. They are the best tools to fight tensions and trigger points in:
- The neck, and in the lower back area.
- Here no roller or ball is able to follow them, at least none that it knows.
To make it short:
For neck, neck and neck-shoulder region, we recommend the Trigger Fairy. It is the optimal tool if you want to relax your neck and neck-shoulder region.
To relax persistent points in the lower back, that is, in the lower back, we have not seen anything better than the Body Back Buddy.
Massage balls: for almost every place in the body
Massage balls are the only talents for everything among massage tools. Here you can almost talk about a miraculous remedy. The balls are small, light, and economical and fit inside any bag.
If it is too smooth, it will fall too often, particularly leaning against a plain wall (wood, wallpaper, etc.). That is truly frustrating. The ball should not smell bad, of course. We had to have balls in my hands whose smell we couldn’t stand and that even after weeks had disappeared.
We don’t want to massage me with a tool of this class.
On the present page, you will find exclusively balls that
- We use it.
- They don’t smell bad.
- They work right.
