Massage Lacrosse Ball for Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release

A foam roller is great, but it can’t get into the spots that really hurt: the deep knot in your glute after sled pushes, the tight calf after a long run, the band of tension between your shoulder blades from farmers carries. A lacrosse ball can. It is small, firm and dense, so it goes deep into a single trigger point and releases it with your body weight.

Use it against a wall for your shoulders and upper back, on the floor for your glutes and hamstrings, or under your foot for tight arches and plantar fascia. Thirty seconds to two minutes per spot, a few times a week, and stiff muscles start moving again. It fits in any gym bag or suitcase, so your recovery routine travels with you to every race.

Why we like it

• Goes deeper than a foam roller, into one specific knot
• Perfect for glutes, hips, calves, feet, shoulders and upper back
• Firm, grippy rubber that holds its shape
• Fits in your pocket or gym bag, works against any wall or floor
• Takes five minutes a day
• The best value recovery tool there is
