Tune Up Fitness - Coregeous Ball
This soft, air-filled ball is a gentle yet powerful tool for working with the abdominal fascia, psoas, diaphragm, and lower back.
It’s especially useful for myofascial release in the core, where many people hold tension, stress, and unresolved emotion.
Regular use can support digestive health, improve breathing, ease low back discomfort, and enhance nervous system regulation.
Acumobility Massage Ball
Unlike traditional massage balls, the Acumobility Ball stays in place, making it ideal for myofascial self-treatment.
Its flat base and firm, grippy texture allow you to target deep fascial restrictions without the ball rolling out from under you. Use it against a wall or on the floor to release tight traps, glutes, hip rotators, and more.
A great tool for relieving pain and improving mobility—especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Small Pilates Ball
This soft, inflatable ball is a versatile tool for gentle myofascial release and core activation.
Perfect for supporting spinal alignment, releasing tension in the hips, low back, or inner thighs, and improving body awareness.
Its pliable surface makes it ideal for those new to self-treatment or sensitive to firmer tools.
OPTP SMARTROLLER Foam Roller
Unlike traditional rollers, the SMARTROLLER features both a flat and rounded side, giving you more control and versatility in your self-treatment practice.
Use it to release fascial tension in the spine, back, or hips, and explore subtle postural and movement shifts.
A great tool for nervous system regulation and deeper awareness during MFR at home.
High Density Foam Roller
A classic staple for myofascial self-treatment, this firm foam roller is ideal for releasing tension along the spine, IT band, glutes, quads, and more.
Its dense surface provides steady pressure to help unwind deep fascial restrictions and support recovery between sessions. Simple, effective, and essential for any home MFR toolkit.
Neck Support
Cervical Orthotic Traction Block
This firm cervical traction device supports proper spinal alignment and helps decompress the neck and upper spine.
Ideal for neck tightness, tension headaches, or tech neck, it can complement MFR by gently restoring natural cervical curvature.
Use for 5–10 minutes a day as part of your self-care routine. Always listen to your body and stop if discomfort increases.
Neck Stretcher, Cervical Traction
This simple yet effective tool is designed to gently stretch the neck and decompress the cervical spine.
It's especially helpful for relieving tension from tech neck, stress, or poor posture. Used regularly, it can support better alignment, improve mobility, and help reduce headaches, neck pain, and tightness in the upper shoulders.
A great addition to your self-myofascial release toolkit for targeting the often-overloaded neck and upper spine.
CranioCradle Home Therapy System
This tool is a favorite for supporting deep relaxation and gentle fascial release.
Designed to mimic the feel of skilled therapeutic hands, the CranioCradle helps relieve tension in the neck, upper back, sacrum, and even the diaphragm.
Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or enhance your self-myofascial release routine, this tool can help calm the nervous system and support structural alignment. Ideal for headaches, TMJ tension, or general stress relief.
Occipivot Pivotal Therapy
Designed to mimic the gentle pressure of a therapist’s fingertips, the Occipivot is a powerful tool for releasing tension at the base of the skull and upper neck.
This area is a common site of restriction that can contribute to headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and upper body pain.
Use it for 5 minutes to unwind tight fascia, improve alignment, and support your nervous system’s return to balance.
Comfort & Recovery Tools
REVIX Microwave Heating Pad
This versatile heating pad is perfect for easing muscle tension and encouraging fascial release before or after your self-MFR practice.
Heat increases circulation, softens connective tissue, and helps the body relax, making it a powerful support tool for areas like the lower back, abdomen, shoulders, or hips.
Use it warm to prep your body before treatment or cold to soothe inflammation after. A cozy and effective addition to your home self-care routine.
Mind Bodhi Toe Spacers
These soft, flexible toe spacers help gently realign and open the feet, an area often overlooked in self-treatment.
By separating the toes and stretching the surrounding fascia, they can ease foot pain, support better posture, and relieve tension from conditions like plantar fasciitis.
Perfect for use while relaxing, reading, or watching TV, these spacers are a simple but powerful way to give your feet the space and support they need to heal.
Extra Thick Yoga Mat
This ultra-cushioned mat provides extra support for your joints and spine during self-myofascial release, stretching, or gentle movement practices.
The added thickness makes it ideal for those with sensitive knees, hips, or back pain, creating a more comfortable surface for longer holds.
Whether you're practicing self-MFR, yoga, or breathwork, this mat adds a layer of comfort that helps you relax and stay present in your body.
