The MB5 massage ball is a medium-size massage ball crafted from premium foam and features a unique layered construction made up of different densities, designed to help manipulate soft tissue and fascia by breaking up adhesions and stimulating blood flow and oxygenation to enhance recovery and easy discomfort. The unique EVA foam surface is quite dense, yet has the ability to compress depending on how the user interacts with it, making it a versatile tool that lets you customize the amount of pressure you're aiming to employ on key muscles. The larger cousin to our best-selling MB1 massage ball, the MB5 sports a larger diameter size (5 inches, or 12.5 cm, in diameter) that makes it ideal for muscles in the back, legs, hips, and more, providing unique sensations and varying ways to address muscle soreness and soft tissue discomfort than roller-style self-massage tools.
The MB5 is bigger than I expected at 5 inches, which actually works well for my back and hips. The layered foam has a dense outer surface but still compresses depending on how much pressure I apply, so I can go gentle on sore spots or lean in harder when I want. It breaks up tight areas in my legs better than my roller in some spots. Solid tool for self-massage, though the larger size takes a little getting used to.
