BLACKROLL® Fascia Ball "BALL 12"

A well-rounded solution: specifically targeting pain and muscle tension.

The large fascia ball BALL 12 is the perfect training tool for targeted self-massage to treat muscle tension. Unlike the BALL 08, this fascia ball has a larger surface area, making the fascia massage less intense. You can easily regulate the pressure with your body weight to reach superficial or deeper muscles. Along with the STANDARD fascia roller and the BALL 08, the BALL 12 is one of BLACKROLL®'s most popular products. With a diameter of 12 centimeters, it is slightly larger. The larger surface area results in less intense massage pressure, making the fascia ball suitable not only for targeted massage but also for massaging larger areas.

You can easily reach hard-to-access trigger points, which cause pain and restricted movement, especially in the back and neck area, with the BLACKROLL® BALL 12. And the best part is: you don't need a partner to use it. All you need is a wall, a table, or the floor to perform the massage with the BLACKROLL® Fascia Ball 12.

Optimal regeneration after exercise

The BALL 12 is the ideal training tool for active people who want to recover and relax after exercise. The fascia ball specifically loosens tense muscles to improve circulation, mobility, and performance. The connective tissue structures of the muscles (fascia) can also be responsible for pain caused by repetitive movements or sedentary activities. This pain is often located in the lower back and buttocks. By leaning against a wall or lying on the floor, you can easily massage these pain points with the fascia ball. The self-massage exercises are easy to learn and can be performed almost anywhere.

Exercises with the BALL 12

The BALL 12 fascia ball is not only the perfect massage tool for a relaxing massage – it's also suitable as an exercise device for beneficial fascia training to prevent muscle pain and restricted movement. By combining the BALL 12 with the BALL 08, you can optimally vary the intensity of your fascia massage. The BALL 12 is incredibly versatile. You can use the ball to gently massage your arms and legs. Especially in the chest area, the BALL 12 can be wonderfully combined with the BLOCK to intensify the fascia massage.

The pressure on the surrounding tissue increases even more when you lean the BALL 12 against a wall or lie on the floor. Using circular and sliding movements, you can massage your buttocks, calves, thighs, and entire back without assistance. If the pressure becomes too intense, simply support yourself with your hands or feet.

By the way: Due to its small surface area, the BALL 12 is primarily used for treating hotspots, also known as trigger points. These trigger points often cause pain that can radiate into the extremities. Because these hotspots are particularly stubborn, you should massage them not only more frequently but also for longer (15 to 20 seconds). Ideally, you should apply gentle pressure to the tissue with the BALL 12; the massage should never be painful. The more often you perform this functional training, the softer and more flexible your muscles will become.
