Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was very skeptical about this roller before ordering it. I get sport massages weekly and have an expensive japanese massage chair that I use often. But in between real massages I realize my arch has some discomfort and my IT band continued to get inflamed. My therapist recommended a trigger release ball or something to use in between our sessions. When I found this product I was worried the reviews looked too good to be true, but I can say without a doubt while accounting the price this roller - THIS IS one my favorite sport therapy items EVER! First up the good: The casing screws together to holds the ball in a manner that it can move in all directions flawlessly. The sphere once frozen overnight will hold temperature for a long time (over an hour). I used it for 30 minutes straight and it was still frosting over. I couldn't see anyone needing it longer than an hour, but I didn't test it beyond that point. The cold therapy paired with a solid object allows you to work out any bunched up muscle issues and decrease inflammation quickly. The only item requiring improvement: The base is a little small, it's perfect for holding and rolling over problem areas but its not stable enough to maintain its position on the ground. While using in it's ground configuration the base constantly rolls over itself. To the manufacture - if they provided two bases, one for the ground, one for hand holding, this would be perfect and worthy of 5 stars. Great product overall, and well worth the price!
