RAD Rod
€50,14
The RAD Rod is a compact, hand-held massage rod that’s gentle and effective at relaxing tight, flattened muscle fibres – all without the need to lie on the floor. This is particularly beneficial when playing sports or in the field, where conventional rollers are difficult to use.
The flexible cover, built on a steel core, precisely transmits pressure to the targeted tissues, so even more sensitive areas such as the shin or forearm can be safely treated. Its slim shape makes it ideal for precise treatment of muscle knots and tight stretches – whether for warming up before a workout or for recovery afterwards.
The internal bearing design ensures a smooth, controlled movement – this massage bar is not only durable, but also a reliable tool for all active lifestyles.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE ROLLER STICK
This thin myofascial device beats concurrency when it comes to well-controlled muscle management. The thoughtful design, steel core and high quality materials deliver what they promise.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Use it for your usual rolling, or up the ante by inserting one end of the Rod into the center hole of the RAD Atom to create a self-directed, crowbar-style shearing tool that pulls muscles open. You can also slide your Rod through your RAD Helix or RAD Axle and invite a friend to roll you down and flush out your entire back, or just use it like a foam roller with instant handles (Axle, Helix and Atom sold separately).
gentle touch
Just because the RAD Rod is made of durable steel doesn't mean it can't be sensitive. The entire surface of each Rod is covered with soft EVA foam. The well-designed density of the EVA foam allows you to Rod in bony, sensitive areas like the shin and forearm. Tough but sensitive. Winning combination.

IDEAL FOR LOWER BODY
A thin, 360-degree layer of soft, EVA material pads the length of every RAD Rod to give you the freedom to use it anywhere - from thick, meaty leg muscles to more delicate, boney areas like the shins and forearms. The RAD Rod was specially designed to help relieve tension associated with:
- Injury recovery
- Workout recovery
- Tension headaches
- Body maintenance
- Muscle knots
- Muscle soreness
- Shin splints
- Running
- Muscle tension
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 MASSAGE STICK?
A massage stick is best used on top of your muscles, rather than your muscles being on top of a foam roller, which has some unique benefits. One, you can easily relax the muscles you're working on. Two, you can easily adjust the pressure you want. Three, they're thin, lightweight, and easy to take with you.
WHAT OTHER RAD TOOLS WORK WITH THE ROD?
We designed other tools to work with the Rod's, so you have more options as your toolkit grows. Use the Rod to 'put handles' on your Axle or Helix, or use with the Atom for ultimate shearing. Or use it with the Helix to work on a friend! There are a lot of options that can be found in the RAD Mobility App.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROD'S STEEL CORE AND OTHER PLASTIC MASSAGE STICKS?
Plastic massage sticks can bend (and break!) easily, which takes out the pressure and precision, and makes them less useful for pinpoint work. We designed the Rod to be thin enough to drive pressure through the big quad muscles, but also precise enough to work on the upper neck, near the skull. Bye bye, headaches.
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.
