THE EVOLUTION OF THE FOAMROLLER
Not too big. Not too small. At 36 cm long, it's exactly what it should be. Most massage rollers are 50, 90 or even 130 cm long, which not only makes them a headache to store, but also difficult to work with. The size of the RAD Axle is ideal for easy, efficient use while remaining portable.
COMBINE IT WITH OTHER RAD TOOLS
The Atom fits exactly into the Axle, which can be very useful when treating pectoral muscles. You can also guide the Rod through the tunnel in the middle of the Axle, giving you a massage roller with a handle to comfortably treat your leg or someone else's.
HARD INSIDE, SOFT OUTSIDE
It's a sin to use disintegrated, deformed foam cylinders, and using rock-hard alternatives is too painful. RAD Axle combines a tough, durable inner core with a comfortable, soft EVA foam outer to provide the happy medium. The soft foam cover, which is also considered soft among RAD products, makes it excellent for beginners and a great warm-up tool. The design of the core - including spacers - ensures a long service life even when used with heavier weights.Rad Mobility app

ideal for the back and legs
Finally, an SMR roller designed specifically for the human back. Finally, a foam roller that was literally built for the back. Where other foam rollers are flat, the Axle offers a wide recess in the middle to (1) take pressure off your sensitive spine and (2) give you just the nook you need for other foam rolling favorites like quads, IT bands and rear shoulder. The Axle was specially designed to help relieve tension associated with:
- Hunchback posture
- Back pain
- Tight IT bands
- Muscle pain
- Muscle knots
- Post workout soreness
- Sore legs
- Tight hips
- Myofascial pain
WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER?
SIZE MATTERS
The size of the tool you choose will affect how your body reacts. For example, treating your tight hamstrings with the normal firmness Roller will give you a more intense sensation than using the Rod. Although the table shows that the normal Roller is softer than the Rod, it has a smaller surface area in contact with your body and therefore "penetrates" the tissues better. Because of the Rod's larger contact area, and the fact that you're applying the force with your arms, it's less intense.
THE SURFACE YOU'RE LYING ON
Use on a softer surface, such as a carpet, to reduce the intensity. On a hard surface - such as lying on the floor - the instrument feels harder, the sensation is more intense.
MUSCLE TIGHTNESS
Even a softer tool will have a powerful effect on particularly tight muscles, especially if it is a tool with a smaller surface area. For example, if your hamstring muscles are very tight and you are using the soft Roller, even this relatively soft tool will produce a more intense sensation than the harder but more oversized Axle.

WHAT IS A COMPACT FOAM ROLLER?
We cut out all the fluff when we made the Axle. It's got everything you need and nothing you dont. Not only that, we've shaped it for the spine and legs alike. It's about half the size of a standard foam roller, but packs twice the punch.
HOW TO USE IT?
Simply place the Axle on the floor and lie on your back. Make short up and down rolling movements, then place the tool a bit lower or more up and repeat the same. You can even turn slightly to the side for a more intense effect on the same side. But even - especially at the beginning - it's enough to lie down and try to relax, while paying attention to your breathing. For more ideas and exercises, visit the US RAD Roller YouTube channel or download the RAD Mobility app.
WHICH TOOLS CAN I COMBINE IT WITH?
The tunnel running through the middle of the Axle is designed exactly to the diameter of the RAD Rod. If you guide the Rod through the Axle, you can treat certain areas more easily ... but you can also massage anyone's back, thighs, calves. And at both ends of the Axle you can insert the Atom to work on your pectoral muscles.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE COMPARED TO A TRADITIONAL FOAM ROLLER?
The shape of the Axle is completely different from traditional foam rollers. It fits snugly on your back and thigh muscles without irritating your bones. It's also durable and fits in your gym bag.
WHAT WARRANTY APPLIES TO THE PRODUCTS?
So-called lifetime guarantee. This means precisely that we provide a continuous guarantee for the products for as long as the production of the product is not stopped. This only applies to manufacturing defects. So if you have a RAD Roller that breaks after say 3 years, you report it to us and if the breakage is due to a manufacturing defect, we will send you a new Roller.
WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS?
- Severe osteoporosis. (If you have weak osteoporosis, consult your doctor!)
- Fracture.
- Tumour disease.
- Around open wounds.
- On parts of the body with oedema and haematoma.
- If you are pregnant, consult your doctor or physiotherapist.
IF I AM NOT HEALTHY, CAN I USE THE PRODUCTS?
It depends on what the problem is. If you have cancer, you should not use them. If you just have a cold, feel free. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or ask our physiotherapist for advice.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE THEM?
Preferably every day. The effect of manual therapy is permanent if it is used regularly. Experimental results have shown that at least 2 weeks of therapy is recommended for long-term results.
HOW LONG SHOULD A TREATMENT LAST?
5-10 deep breaths are enough for each position.
WHAT DO I NEED TO FEEL TO KNOW I'M DOING IT RIGHT?
You will feel a slight pain during the treatment. A little more severe pain in the worse resections and sensitive nodules (trigger points). However, it is important to remember that it is not good if it hurts too much. If you trigger too much pain, your body's defence mechanism kicks in and you involuntarily contract your muscles, which is exactly the opposite of your goal (to relax your muscles).
WHEN DO I FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE EXERCISE?
Contact us using the contact details at the top of the page or by filling in the contact form. You can also call our physiotherapist directly on +36309895315.
HOW CAN I ASK FOR HELP IF I AM UNSURE?
Right after the treatment. In some cases, the change in mobility and flexibility will be very spectacular. Any pain you may be experiencing will also be reduced almost immediately. However, the effects of a single treatment wear off relatively quickly. Long-term change can be achieved through regular use.
SHOULD I MOVE AFTER AN SMR TREATMENT?
You don't have to, but if you want to permanently increase your range of motion, it's a good idea to do mobilisation exercises to lock in your newly acquired range of motion.
