FOAM ROLL ON THE GO

TRAVEL DEEP TISSUE MASSAGER

The RAD tools designed for the back all have a unique feature in common; the spinal recess. It’s a groove that allows you to avoid contact with the delicate bones of the spine and keep the release where you want it, in the muscles.

PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

Try this awesome two-tool move and experience the ultimate in thoughtful RAD product synergy. Slide your RAD Rod through your Helix and invite a friend to roll you down and flush out your entire back (Rod sold separately).

DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY

Did you know that if you develop muscle tension somewhere in your body - say in your intercostal muscles - it puts extra strain on your mid and lower back muscles? So, in effect, a painful chain reaction takes place. The Helix is made from a special polymer that is soft enough for full-body exercises, but tough enough to be durable. So you can effectively use it to relax your back muscles, which will then be followed by the rest of your body. This polymer does not become soggy, does not absorb sweat like a normal foam roller and does not change its shape or consistency with regular use.

IDEAL FOR LUMBAR SPINE AND GLUTES

The RAD Helix is made of a specially designed polymer that’s soft enough for whole-muscle rolling, yet strong for heavy-duty use. That means you can effectively free up the tension in your back, glutes, peroneals and more. The Helix was specially designed to help relieve tension associated with:

  • Hunchback posture
  • Back pain
  • Tight IT bands
  • Muscle pain
  • Muscle knots
  • Post workout soreness
  • Shin splint
  • 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.

The Helix is made around two principles; anatomical shape, and portability. We shaped the Helix to fit into your back and pressure the exact muscles we want to lengthen, at the same time, you get the benefit of a super portable roller you can take anywhere!

Simply place the Helix on the ground and lie on it with 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.

The Helix has a hole through the center of it that perfectly fits the RAD Rod, allowing you to roll out a friend, target those pesky shin-splint muscles, or to broaden the pressure on sore muscles. Together, they make recovery a snap.

The Helix is has a unique shape that normal foam rollers don't. It's shaped to mold right to your spine, and open up everything that feels tight. It will help unscrew that 'desk posture' or 'hunchback posture' with some short, daily use.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

5-10 deep breaths are enough for each position.

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).

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.

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.

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.
