The RAD Atom is a large, extra hard massage ball that is ideal for treating larger muscle groups such as shoulders, glutes and adductors. Its design allows for deep, controlled self-massage to help release muscle tension and promote recovery.

Two types of use:

Self-contained use: The RAD Atom is an effective tool in itself and is recommended primarily for massaging larger muscle groups. Due to its size, the pressure exerted by the Atom is not as intense as with a smaller massage ball.
Combined use with the RAD Rod: by passing the RAD Rod through the centre of the Atom, a precision tensioning device is obtained, allowing deeper, controlled pressure and more effective mobilisation of fascial tissues.

RAD Atom’s material and surface design provide just the right amount of grip on the skin, helping to loosen surface tissues and reach deeper layers. The spherical shape allows for multi-directional pressure, which is particularly effective in treating flattened, constricted fascial areas.

Description

THE MEASURE SIZES

When you think of spot muscle relaxation, you probably think of tiny massage tools that can work on the tightest of areas. When you think of self-massage on a large surface, the first image that probably springs to mind is of a big, cumbersome foam roller. RAD Atom is the happy medium between the two. It's the perfect size to use on hard-to-reach areas such as the inner shoulder, hips or trapezius, but it does so with a much smaller surface area - and therefore more pressure - than a foam roller.

ATTACK FROM ALL DIRECTIONS

Surprise! The RAD Atom is round for a reason. When you look at muscles under a microscope, you realise that they are more spatial than planar. That is why fascial force transfer occurs in all directions, not just linearly. A spherical device such as the RAD Atom can "attack" the depressions and constricted fascial parts from multiple angles (especially in combination with the RAD Rod). This 360 degree attack is incredibly effective.

FOR FREE HIPS

Thanks to the RAD Atom's size and precisely targeted hardness, you'll have excellent access to all the big muscles you want to work. With the most dynamic tool in our range, you get the benefits of two worlds: the precision of a massage ball and the 'rolling' experience of a massage roller. The Atom is particularly recommended for the following:

Tight hips
Post-workout recovery
Tight hamstring

All-day session
Tight quadriceps femoris
Tight gluteal muscles

Tight pectoral muscles
Negligent maintenance
Tight shoulders

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER?

THE MEASURE SIZES

The size of the device you choose will affect how your body reacts. For example, treating your tight hamstrings with the normal hardness 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, so it "penetrates" the tissues better. The Rod is less intense because of its larger contact area and because you are applying the force with your arms.

THE SURFACE YOU ARE LYING ON

Using the device on a softer surface, such as a carpet, can reduce the intensity. On a hard surface, such as a floor, the instrument feels harder and the sensation is more intense.

Even a softer tool will have a powerful effect on particularly tight muscles, especially if it is a smaller tool with a smaller surface. 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 larger Axle.

WHY IS THE ATOM BETTER FOR LARGE MUSCLE GROUPS?

The larger muscle groups are ... well ... larger. 🙂 The size and hardness of the Atom is adjusted to help you handle these big muscles effectively. For example: pectoral muscles, gluteus, hamstrings.

USE OF THE ATOM AFTER A FOOT DAY

The Atom is perfect for the feet. It's just right for your glutes and tall enough to reach your groin, hamstrings and calves. The power is with you, so you can precisely control the weight you put on the tool, and thus the intensity you apply.

WHICH OTHER TOOLS CAN I COMBINE IT WITH?

RAD Atom can be combined with Rod and Axle. Plugging the end of the Rod into the Atom gives you a kind of "crowbar" that you can use to twist layers of fabric together, or roll yourself into it by plugging it all the way in. By putting the Atom on the Axle, you can comfortably massage your pecs, opening up your shoulders and upper back.

SHOULD I CHOOSE THE ROLLER OR THE ATOM?

Well, that's a difficult question. It would be best to have both... The Roller is mainly for the muscles near the spine - although it has a wide range of uses - and the Atom is ideal for the larger muscles of the body.

WHY SHOULD I TREAT MY HIP?

When you feel tight in your hips, it is a sign that the systems above and below are overstretched (such as the muscles in the lower back). If your hips aren't rotating enough, the lumbar section is being forced to help out, putting strain on the vertebrae and ligaments in your back. In short: free up your hips, freeing up your back!

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY GLUTES OR HIPS ARE TIGHT?

Can you squat down completely without your heels coming off the ground? Can you sit in a squat position with your knees touching the ground? If not, it's quite likely that your glutes and/or hips are tight. But don't worry! Use the Atom regularly, get mobile and see the progress!

WHAT GUARANTEE APPLIES TO THE PRODUCTS?

So-called lifetime guarantee. This means precisely that we provide a continuous guarantee for products for as long as production of the product continues. 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.

DO THE PRODUCTS CURE ANY DISEASE?

No. These products - although they are health aids - and they help to regain/improve our mobility and flexibility (even with very spectacular results), they do not cure a specific disease.

WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS?

Severe osteoporosis. (If you have mild osteoporosis, consult your doctor.)
Breakage.
Cancer.
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 shouldn't use them. If you just have a cold, go ahead. 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. In worse condition, you will feel a little more pain in the resections and sensitive nodules (trigger points). However, it is important to remember that it is not good to be in too much pain. Triggering too much pain will trigger your body's defence mechanism and you will involuntarily contract your muscles, which is exactly the opposite of your goal (relaxing your muscles).

WHEN WILL 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 at +36309895315.

HOW CAN I ASK FOR HELP IF I AM UNSURE?

Right after treatment. In some cases, the change in mobility and flexibility will be very noticeable. Any pain you may be experiencing will also be reduced almost immediately. However, the effect of a single treatment will wear off relatively quickly. Long-term changes can be achieved with regular use.

DO I NEED TO 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.
