Hyperice - Hypersphere Mini Vibrating Massage Ball - Black

I own the large cylindrical Hyperice Vyper and have found it very useful for my legs, but too large and cumbersome for use on upper shoulders and neck. When I saw this item, I decided to try it. I love it!! I use it 7-8 times a week on my shoulders primarily, and neck. The shape allows me to focus on the specific areas of muscle tension to break up the knots, and the vibration is much more effective and less painful than using a lacrosse ball. With regular use on my shoulders, I have reduced the frequency of tension headaches and reduced my shoulder pain considerably. You do have to get used to it though as it may feel a bit hard during the initial use. I almost gave up but with regular use, I got a hang of it and now it's the most used massager at my home. I like it so much that I took it with me on my last two business trips to help with the neck and shoulder tightness I get from sitting in uncomfortable airplane seats. I accidentally pulled my muscles while picking up a very heavy equipment 5 months ago and have been having pain in my shoulders and neck ever since. It gets worse after sitting for so long but this massager has been a blessing. Fantastic for getting in on tight muscles. You will want to make sure you have a solid surface to use this on, basically a concrete foundation. At level 2, this thing shakes our house. Level 3 is almost impossible to control. My wife kind of hates this thing, but I love it. The unit feels heavy, which helps to drive it deeply into the muscles that need work. If you have severe muscle pain, tightness, or are recovering from a traumatic injury, don't waste time with the cheap imitators. The Hypersphere has dramatically improved my quality of life and improved my flexibility while recovering from my knee injury. It is absolutely worth every penny. I will be using this massage ball continuously for many months to come. So far, with a couple of weeks of regular use, I can recommend this 100%.

The size and flexibility of this massage ball is perfect for use in the office or at home (provided you have a carpeted or softer floor) and works excellently to relieve sore arches after a run or bike ride! The battery life is great! I haven't had to recharge it yet and I've been using it pretty regularly for about a week. Charging is very quick and easy as it uses a standard micro USB plug instead of a proprietary cable. There is a cord included in the box but if you're like me and have many others already plugged in, it'll work perfectly with those cables as well. I highly recommend this for active people that are on the go a lot and can't take a traditional foam roller everywhere they go!

So the Hypernice Hypersphere Mini massager is actually pretty cool. Imagine a ball (around the size of a baseball) that vibrates as hard a large handheld massager. That is basically what you have here. There are three separate levels of vibration and each one is harder than the next. I have to say it really hits hard. To the point that if you put it on the floor it will dance around and if it was not rubberized you would think it was a jack hammer. As I mentioned, the outside of it is rubber, and it is a soft smooth surface. This is actually pretty smart, and I say that because when you use it the ball will not slip around on you. For me, I have issues with my feet. So I can put it on the ground and roll it around where I need it to hit, and it vibrates DEEP into my foot. Better than the handheld (more expensive) massager we have at the house. My wife uses it on her back. Again, it does not slip around and you can lay on it to focus the vibration deep into those trigger areas that really hurt. It really gets things loose. The LED lights tell you exactly how much battery you have left, as well as what setting you are on. It says the battery lasts two hours, but I have not used it to the full length of the battery yet. Th charging port is closed off with a rubber tab, so you pull that out to put the charging head in for a charge. I think this helps so sweat will not get into it. If I am wrong, then maybe it has a double function. The charging cord that comes with it has plenty of length, and it actually has a stand for the ball so it will not roll around on the floor our counter. Not only do I think this is good for the average person, it would be great for an athlete or even chiropractor’s practice. It feels and works like a professional grade piece of equipment, and it is small enough to take with you if you want to travel with it. I highly recommend it, and I love it.

In the box is the massager, a charging cord and a disc to hold the massager. Keep in mind that when opening the box, it is best to charge the massager. When attempting to turn on out of the box, there were no lights illuminating. Now that I have actually used the product, I may have not held the power button down long enough. So, yes, hold down the power button until you see lights, preferably a red and green lights. I have really small hands but the massager fit comfortably. I pressed the button again after I turned it on and one blue light comes on. Let me just say that this thing is powerful at the first level. Level 2 and 3 were hard for me to hold but once I placed where I wanted it to go, it felt great! I have been having some recently with my leg and back; pain at home and at work, and this product has been working to get out the kinks. I am able to take it with me everywhere I go because it is lightweight and small and fits in my daily travel bag. Battery life is exceptional. I have been using off and on for a whole week and I still haven’t had to charge it yet. I will probably charge after day 7, just so that I know that it is fully charged for another full week. I can’t really find a negative for this product. I love rolling the ball up and down my body and I highly recommend that you don’t use while driving. :) I would definitely recommend this to friends and family and I would definitely purchase again!

I already owned one of these and bought this for my brother, for the holidays. He has plantar fasciitis and I'd read, via reviews, that this could help. I figured, at the very least, he'd like the cool look of the product for his desk (he's always worked from home so he's got a proper set up) and that he could run the massage ball under his feet while he worked. He loves it - he did say his wife wanted to steal it from him - but he said it works great - although the lowest vibration is plenty.

When I got this I had my doubts. I have had various foot pain for years with no real relief except maybe an expensive massage. So, why not try this...what is there to lose? I plugged the softball sized ball in with the included cord (VERY short cord) and charged it up. Once charged I turned it on and WOW...3 levels of vibration- the third one is kind of scary. I grabbed an old towel, folded it a few times and placed it on the floor for cushion, set the ball on it on level 1 and washed dishes while rolling my foot around, at times almost standing on it (hold up to 250lbs) I went back and forth between feet for about 15 minutes and after about 5 minutes off the ball, my feet stopped hurting for a while. I have been doing this every day and my feet are happy!!! This would be a perfect gift for anyone with achy feet or subject to plantar fasciitis. Someday I may use it for the spasming back muscles! The charge lasts a long time (been using it for about 15-25 mins a day and has been on the same charge for 5 days) as well and uses the universal charger.

I generally don’t write product reviews as one product that works for someone may not work the same for someone else. I was however compelled to write a review about this Hyperice Mini massager ball. This thing is so incredible and helps you really work those hard to reach muscles. I use it mostly on my back by placing it in the floor and rolling on it wherever there is a problem area. After suffering chronic pain for years and being athletic at the same time, this is a life saver! Highly recommended product!

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this up. It was a lot heavier than I thought it would be. That is a good thing. It is not too heavy. It seems to be the perfect balance of weight to be able to hold it and apply pressure to the muscles and not feel like it is going to break. The outside has a good rubberized coating. It does not hurt or grab my skin yet it lets me grip it and not feel like I am going to drop it. It has three levels. The first is pretty calm. I like the middle for most of my use. The third setting is quite strong. I cannot hold it for long at this setting. I need to put it on a surface like a foot stool or couch when using this level. I actually would recommend putting it on a surface and the testing your leg or foot over it. I use it primary for my legs and feet after a jog (or a long day at work). I like that it has a small stand to rest on when not in use. It will auto shut off after 10 min of use. But that is okay it is easy to turn on again and I like to use it that way as a timer so I know how long I have bee using it in a specific location.
