A TOOL FOR A SMOOTH, CONTROLLED MASSAGE.
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.
Combinability
Use it on its own or combine it with RAD Atom to add another technique to your repertoire with the resulting "crowbar": twisting fabrics. Plus, by sticking Rod through RAD Helix or RAD Axle, you can get a virtually toothy massager that you can use to massage others with ease.
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.

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.
IZOMFESZESSESSÉG
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.

With massage bars, you roll on the muscles with your own force - whereas with massage rollers, you roll on the muscles underneath and use your body weight to control the intensity. Consequently, the massage bar has at least three advantages: it's easier to relax while you're doing the treatment; it's easier to apply the force more precisely; and you can take it anywhere and use it anywhere, without lying on the floor.
Rod is designed to be combined with several RAD devices. Running these tools through the Axle or Helix effectively gives you a handle, and placing them in the Atom gives you an ideal tool for twisting tissue. You'll find plenty of examples of all of these in our mobile app.
The plastic massage bars will bend (and may break over time), so the force and precision exerted is lost. The Rod is designed to give you enough force to work large muscles, but also for more delicate, precise massage, which is useful for neck treatment, for example (goodbye tension headaches!). In addition to all this, you can also use the rounded ends of the Rod and Rod mini for point massage.
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.
- 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.
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.
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. 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).

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.
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.
