the first time i tired them, it was painful and tickely. i couldn't stand it. after a few other times i had used them i just couldn't believe how good it felt on my shoulder, that the pain i had was gone by 50 percent in just a few minutes. these are awesome, its a different feeling than a massage. just as good though, you cant use them on yourself. you have to have someone do it for you, so you feel it work. its so relaxing, im glad i bought them. if only my hubby would use them on me everyday lol.

The little wonders are great for any aches and pains that you may in your muscles - from pains resulting from overworked muscles or that are stress-induced. Using both at the same time on larger muscles (such as [in spirals] on your back) provides a luxurious sensations worthy of any spa treatment. I also frequently have tension headaches, and one massager working over the tension in my scalp provides more relief than OTC pain killers. (The only issue is that the gap between ball and cup can sometime grab your hair, so be mindful of that, and try to keep the white cups parallel to the plane of the surface being massaged.)

Perfect for our needs! We are using this now to relax the muscles on a 39 week pregnant lady (me!) and it works beautifully.
The real reason for purchase is to put pressure on my back during delivery. The lower back can become excruciatingly painful and the hope is that these balls will do the trick. I'll post an update to let you know how it all worked out.

These balls are amaze balls! As for the previews reviews stating that the edges are too sharp...they where a bit rough, but not sharp. They haven't ever caught on mine or hubby's skin. Husband even has a lot of back and chest hair (TMI perhaps?) and it DOESN'T get caught in his manly hair.
They roll smooth and are easy to grip. I got them specifically because my husband like deep tissue massage and after about 5 min my hands get fatigued. With these babies I can go deep without hand fatigue. Perfect.

I was a little hesitant about buying these because I've never used something like this before, but I wanted to get something to help my husband out who has back problems. I wanted something that would be most effective in giving him relief and in giving my hands a break. These were perfect for the job! He loves how they can get into tough knots or kinks and press hard without making my hands sore. I don't recommend using them over top of clothes, especially loose clothes, because they get caught in the rollers. Other than that, these are awesome!

These massage balls are great. We use them on a regular basis and they still do the job even after months of having them. One thing I like was they were big and study, and you can really press them to get a good massage. I didn't like 2 things, I had to sand them down a bit because the plastic around the balls was scrapping my back also the balls will sometime get pressed to far in and wont roll, its like too much plastic not enough ball, or maybe my back is just fat. Besides that great value and a lot cheaper than dicks sporting goods.

I have pretty bad back tension and often roll on tennis balls and beg for massages. My fiance gets tired and his hands hurt after a few minutes of pushing on knots. With this ball he doesn't have to know how to massage or use too much pressure. I kept one and gave the other to a family member, who also loves it. These also work great for rubbing my own neck and shoulders.

As a massager, they're easy to use. Heck, they're fairly easy to use on yourself. I have been rubbing down the insides of my wrists (from too much working on the keyboard). They're very smooth to operate. The only caution would be if you press too hard when rolling it, you might scrape yourself with the plastic rims/sides.

Thanks to these, I finally get a good massage from my husband! When using his hands, he usually rubs too hard and his hands get tired after a short period of time. The massage ball rollers make it so that he doesn't get tired as quickly and they provide just enough pressure to help me actually relax. Shipping was prompt and I received them faster than anticipated.

These things are great! I work at a desk all day, and my hand and back and shoulder all get really sore sometimes. I use this for a few minutes, and it really makes a huge difference. I would definitely re-purchase. It also helps when my hand cramps up from too much mouse clicking or typing.
