Tiger Ball Double 4.4 Peanut Foam Roller
The Tiger Ball Double 4.4 is a lightweight, easy-to-use peanut-shaped foam roller. Great for travel, and perfect for bigger muscle groups, such as back, neck, shoulder, hips, hamstrings, and glutes. Ball massage surface provides targeted muscle care and relief of minor muscle aches and soreness. Use your weight as leverage and let the tool do the work. Use on the floor, chair, bed, or wall. The ball is surprisingly durable, firm, and lightweight. It won’t change shape despite the pressure or body weight.
Where Does It Work Best
Work best for back, neck, shoulder, glutes, and quads. The peanut-shape adds greater pressure to the muscles and allows rolling on the surrounding muscle knots. Use it against a wall and add pressure, or use it by laying down on a surface and let gravity do its work. The tool allows you to roll away on the targeted muscle group.
How to Use?
- Lie on top of your Tiger Ball Double 4.4 or lean onto it against a wall, and apply pressure on your muscles.
- Relaxing your muscles during this process will help you massage the “belly” of the muscle.
- You are the judge of how much pressure to apply. Strive for a “good hurt”- from 5-7 on a scale of 1-10. If lying on top of the foam roller on the floor is too painful for you, try to put the foam roller on a bed or couch. “Grimacing” with pressure can be described as that “hurts so good” feeling. It’s not unusual for people to laugh and/or get really serious when applying this type of pressure on a muscle knot. This is usually where we see the best success.
- Always follow muscle paths. Massage each muscle group 10-20 seconds. With each pass, gently press deeper into the muscle. Avoid massaging directly over bones.
- Tender muscle knots can reduce range of motion while causing minor aches, discomfort and muscle fatigue. Knots come in various sizes, like a pin head, pea, noodle or small pickle.
- Minor discomfort or tenderness may be experienced when passing over muscle knots. To minimize knots, apply 10 seconds of firm, constant, focused strokes, for three sets.
- Recurring or stubborn muscle knots often need additional attention. Using Tiger Tail products 2-3 times a day may help speed healing. Over the course of time, muscle knots should get smaller or disappear.
