The durable rubber surface provides consistent pressure without collapsing, allowing users to control treatment intensity simply by adjusting body weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trigger point ball used for?
A trigger point ball is used to release muscle knots, reduce tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility through self-myofascial release.
How firm is the FORTRESS Rubber Trigger Point Ball?
The ball is firm enough to provide effective deep tissue massage while maintaining slight flexibility for comfort during treatment.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. Most people can safely use a trigger point ball daily, particularly after exercise or prolonged sitting. Adjust pressure according to comfort.
Is it suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Rolling the foot over the ball may help reduce tension in the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles.
Can it help neck and shoulder tension?
Absolutely. It is commonly used to release trigger points in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboids, and muscles around the shoulder blades.
Is this better than a foam roller?
