OPTP Super Pinky Ball – Moderately Firm Density Deep Tissue Massage Ball for Back Pain, Shoulder Tension Relief, Sore Muscles, Plantar Fasciitis and More

Some of the negative reviews do not seem fair. I use the The MELT Method, and The Miracle Ball Method, and find they are both effective for pain. I alternate these, along with several other products, to help control my Fibromyalgia. It takes a variety, as the pain is different from day to day, and what works one day, might not the next. The firmness of a product, depends on what part of the body I am working on. I love Amazon Reviews. It has helped me so much in making wise purchases. I bought this, along with the products mentioned. I was fully aware it was not part of either product, it just offered a savings to buy together. I was also aware that it was Firm Density. It clearly states this, along with the size, and a description of its use. I try to respect other opinions, but it is difficult when someone leaves a bad review, complaining about a product that is exactly as described! I always appreciate someone mentioning a place to buy something for less money, but the price should not change the rating. We all know what price we are agreeing to pay. I lose patience when I read ignorant reviews! I find it works well for massaging my feet. It may not work for everyone, and I respect those reviews, and have empathy for anyone dealing with pain. Best Wishes!

For those complaining that the ball is too hard for the MELT method, all I can say is this: The seller did not list it as such, Amazon did. Nowhere in the actual item description does it say it is associated with the MELT method. And those who complained it was very firm? The seller says in the description that it is firm, and in the picture you can see it doesn't squish under the foot. If the description says firm, then maybe you should expect a firm ball! It isn't rocket science. I have used this type of ball at every studio I have ever taught at as a fitness instructor. My clients and I find it very useful to roll out and release muscles throughout the whole body, either using the floor or the wall as a surface. It isn't as hard as a baseball, but it is slightly harder than a tennis ball. This brand holds up very well with commercial use.

I first use theee In physical therapy and they were highly recommended by the therapist. Their excellent, easy to carry with you and very effective.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY: Some reviewers mention that these are too hard to use with the MELT method. Personally, I find these balls somewhat softer than the hard-rubber massage ball I had before. PRO: • Soft enough not to be too painful but hard enough for a deep tissue massage of your trained muscles. • Set of three, so you can use one by itself and tie up the two others in a pair to massage around your backbone. CON: • Somewhat rough surface, so they tend to trap and wrap around clothing, so that you have to awkwardly unwrap it from your clothes again.

Great product. My physical therapist had me use one and I liked it so much I ordered two of them.

I needed something I could press against the wall and work out kinks in my back and shoulders and this does exactly what is needed and has been useful for working out knots in my upper back and shoulders.

I watched the video of this ball and it does NOT squish down by hand as demonstrated. It's hard. I had read about the pink ball elsewhere and thought it would be more pliable.

Got this to wake up my feet & help them to be all our feet should be. Just the right amount of give, so you don't feel like your standing on a stone & damaging your feet.

I purchased this to use for massaging and for trigger point releases. It was recommended to me by a physical therapist. I had other balls that I had but found them to be way too hard and uncomfortable. This one has a bit of give to it and I find it way more tolerable to use. Very happy with it!

Livraison rapide , petite boule qui fait bien la job . Très satisfaite , merci !

Excellent product. Perfect! Firm and durable. Great buy!

Looks suspiciously like a pink lacrosse ball. A tad too hard for good massage.

I use this as a massage ball and it works great
