Self-Myofascial Release Massage Balls



Even though I can't personally have massages other then on my feet or a light shoulder rub, my children and my husband can have massages so these balls help me be able to give them massages without tiring out my hands too much.

I have Fibromyalgia and even though massage is great for it I can't have them because of my Kidneys. Even giving other people massages sometimes causes me a lot of pain so this is where the massage balls come in. They help me be able to massage deeper without having to put extra pressure on my hands which is great for the one receiving my massage. These massage balls are also great for self use. I personally use these balls to roll on the bottom of my feet.

You can find these Massage Balls on Amazon.


Azatrum Health's "Open Up" self-myofascial release massage balls are effective tools which can help you to reduce muscle soreness, improve mobility, increase flexibility, and reduce your injury risk over time.

Our product offer includes a bonus PDF & Video step-by-step instructional guide to ensure that you'll get the most out of each rolling session, whether it is at home or on-the-go. The guide shows you how to work the ball into all of the major muscle groups of the body.

Every muscle in the human body is covered in a layer of fascia. When our fascia undergoes stress, small tears can occur, causing adhesions. These adhesions are commonly referred to as "trigger points". By applying directed pressure to these trigger points via self myofascial release, we can effectively reduce or eliminate a wide range of pains and discomfort in the body. 

Simply place Azatrum Health's self myofascial release balls between any trigger point and a flat surface, then let gravity take over!

Rolling out Muscle Pain



First it was dance lessons then some spicy drinks with salsa, now it is muscle rollers what else will DanceCrazy come out with? I don't know but I know where they get Crazy from.

I had expected this roller to be more on the soft side but found it was very hard. This isn't bad just not what I expected. Each orange and black part rolls independently so that this stick will roll over your body evenly. I found unless I was doing the back of my legs I really needed someone to help me out, maybe they make longer sticks for some companies or maybe it is because I am on the taller size, or bigger size if you go by weight.

This does do a great job with help, although my husband found this much better for his needs then I did. Like I said I thought it was soft. I have bad kidneys and a bleeding disorder so hard massages are out, but this is a great gift for anyone who doesn't have these problems,

Love the colors, the independently rolling sections, and don't forget the strap which makes this easy to store away on a hook, door knob, etc.

You can find the Dance Crazy Muscle Roller on Amazon.


The DanceCrazy Premium Massage Rolling Stick is going to feel great, rolling over your tired, sore, or overworked muscles. You'll love the way this feels!

We really went all out with great materials, a heavy, solid feel, and great overall quality.
We're dancers, we love massage, and it shows.

Muscle Roller Balls



Our family was a bit excited to try the King Athletic muscle roller balls. I was thinking of using them for my feet, while using them on my husband's back is what he was thinking.

For my feet I just put one on the floor under the middle of my foot and just roll back and forth.

Mainly these balls are made for neck, shoulder, and back pain, but with kidney problems I have to be careful that it is not a massage, also there can not be too much pressure so I don't bruise.

I was able to obtain a happy medium that fits well with my health issues as well as everyone else in our family who can use these as normal. They can be used alone or with the help of someone else. There are lots of ideas on how to use muscle roller balls by searching on the internet. Make sure to always check with your Dr. to make sure this is an option for you.


You can find the King Athletic Muscle Roller Ball Set on Amazon.

Pain Relief Alternative






My husband injured his leg a few years back at work and has a much bigger tens unit made for his leg, but this tens unit is perfect for when my fibromyalgia is flaring up badly, or when I am having spasms.

This can sometimes mean the difference between a few days in bed and being able to make it down the stairs to sit with my family.

It is amazing what products are out their for pain. Medicine alone doesn't always touch the pain I have with Fibromyalgia, not that this takes it completely away but it does help with some of the pain I have.

Easy to set up, love the cord and pad holder very useful, and very different from others I have seen since it is digital.

You can purchase the  PM-120 Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massager on Amazon.
