Hyperice - Vyper 3 Vibrating Roller - Black

The Vyper 3 vibrating roller massages and relaxes sore and knotted muscles very well. Its concave shaped length better contacts more area and fits more contours better than straight-sided massagers. It operates on a re-chargeable battery, and the package comes with an 18-volt charger. The roller is not heavy, so it is easy to handle and use.

Strong vibration and good texture! Mine has shut off unexpectedly a couple times not sure why.

Ten minutes with the Vyper reduces my pain by one third. It's like visiting a massage therapist on demand. I bought this for my dad, brother, and myself, as we suffer from chronic back pain. We sit too much and don't get enough exercise, but we also have spinal problems. The Vyper eliminates a great deal of our pain, increases blood flow, and makes us feel better. The curve in this model makes an empty space for your neck, back, legs, forearms, and chest if you need to lie down on it. Works on every part of the body. That's why I recommend it over the 2.0 model. It's worth the extra money. The only con I can think of is that its vibrations are so powerful that it will vibrate through your floors, and your apartment or house might shake. There are three settings, and even the lowest setting is a beast. It's ultra powerful at higher settings. Depending on your situation, that might be a plus.

I was used the 2.0 and loved it. Made my back feel like brand new. I figure well 3.0 would be just as good. 3.0 is definitely better than a standard foam roller hands down. But if you can get the 2.0. The 3.0 is slightly wider, softer (for me with back problems i need something firmer as the 2.0 very firm.) and the motor on the 2.0 i feel is more powerful when i compared with my fitness teacher at college. I personally feel that its a great Lower Body foam roller due to the foam being very soft. And the 2.0 all upper body. I plan on buying the 2.0 in addition due to me being able to utilize both to MY benefit for my body. Hope the helps. Still good roller!

Well- it does work. It's just the vibrations are so intense that it literally shakes the house. Because it shakes the house- i took it down to the basement where i dont' use it- so I'm losing money on a very expensive piece of equipment. It is hard- not soft. But to be honest- yes it did help loosen my muscles. Muscles that were tight like ropes. If you are looking for general help- this might be a little intense.
