Piriformis Massage Roller with 3 Different Heads for Targeted Trigger Point Pressure, Relieve Pain and Tightness in The Low Back and Sciatica (Hard Density)

WOW. After countless massage products, I had no idea this is exactly what I needed. I use this for my shoulder blades, I lay on it on the ground and take deep breaths. No joke, 5 min- pain gone and I feel realigned!

Might be better options for larger muscle groups but this is the best thing I’ve found to stretch out tight connectors/tendons/ligaments.The 3 different corners are great for different pressures with body weight. If you need to ease into it, you can start out using it on a softer surface like a bed/couch/cushioned chair then move on to a harder surface like the floor for greater intensity.This sorted problems faster than primary doc (muscle relaxants), chiropractor, dry needling, different modalities of massage, and physical therapy.Couldn’t be happier with it

I used it in between every rib and got into so many knots and muscle clusters but then when I try to move again, I had inflamed every muscle in my body. I overdid it. I returned it because of the level of pain I was in. I might get the softer one. I never thought anything would be hard enough for me and I have to say this met my challenge. It’s my own fault for overdoing it. It definitely works. I’m a little bit confused as to whether to get the softer one or the larger one. I’ve heard people say the larger one is not grippy at all. I’m not sure on the softness of it so I’m a little bit confused. I’ll have to read the reviews again, but it definitely packs a punch. I just overdid it. My own fault.

As a former massage therapist who is currently experiencing sciatic nerve pain in my leg and low back I can tell you this is an incredibly useful tool. It may seem a little on the expensive side for what it is, but I assure you if you need to target the piriformis muscle in the glutes a tool like this it will be well worth it.I recommend pairing it with a tennis ball or massage ball to warm up the glute/hip area first. Then you can use the glute blade to target very specific spots. It is important that once you find a trigger point that you hold it for 30-90 seconds to release it.This is a powerful tool. But it is for very specific targeting. I’m glad I purchased it. After two weeks of intense pain and seeing a very good massage therapist twice, this is what finally released the insane amount of tension I was experiencing.

Good quality

firm and penetrates the muscle DEEP. start slow and work your way in if you’re sensitive to pressure or are not used to firmer items. i have a very tight left piriformis due to a herniated disk and this helps great for my flare ups

My sciatica condition has been improving during the last few weeks using a therapy device.Unfortunately I kept looking for something more, and ended up buying this "glute blade". Mistake!! This hurt me profoundly, thus wasting all previous gains!!

If you know how to release your own trigger points then you know you have some places that can't be reached with enough leverage to do what needs to be done.If you understand how to use your body weight on stationary objects for those situations, you know finding the right texture and density is a challenge. For me hockey pucks and lacrosse balls have worked best.Unfortunately they roll!I've looked at this wedge (the black one) for months before lower back pain forced me to give it a try.It's what I hoped it was. It's basically a triangular hockey puck.There's 3 different edges from sharp to round. I ended up standing it on its end to get the edge to wiggle it's way into my S/I joint. Ten seconds of pain gave way to penetrating relief. From there it was a quick adjustment from standing on end to laying flat and changing the edge and I was able to easily access the glute med.5 minutes after opening the package I was standing free of the pains that had nagged me into trying this out.If you know what you are doing and understand what I'm talking about then you want to add this wedge to your bag.If you aren't experienced in treating your own triggers, then this is a sharp piece of hard rubber that will leave you in more pain than you started with.
