Product Description
The porcupine ball has hundreds of sensory nodules. When when rolled along the body they provide a kneading effect resulting in deep muscle release and increased blood flow to the affected area to promote healing. The Porcupine Massage Ball is small enough to take with you and use anywhere. Keep one at home, another at work and another in your gym bag. Easy and fun to use on yourself or a partner.

5 out of 5 stars Great for neck/shoulder pain.   August 20, 2010
Jynanntonnyx (WA)
As a result of a car accident, I have a reversed curvature in my neck which makes my right trapezius spasm almost constantly. These massage balls help me keep the pain at bay (along with physical therapy and heating pad application).


5 out of 5 stars Tension reliever!!!   June 28, 2010

Item has a little more give than another brand that I already have does, but it still works well when used against a wall or when placed under your back when lying down and rolling around slightly or used on the floor for your foot. Some people may even prefer this softer version better. Great for sore muscles/nerve damage due to shingles around the shoulder blades!!! I bought several for gifts.


4 out of 5 stars Depends on sensitivity   May 24, 2010

I ordered 2 of these balls - one for myself and one for my husband. He has very sensitive feet and has had a hard time adjusting to the sharpness of the spikes. (part of the problem may also be the quantity of the spikes.) The initial uses may be quite uncomfortable if you dive in by putting a lot of pressure on the ball!

I love it though. I start by rolling my feet gently over the ball then start pressing harder once my feet are used to the spikes. I've been using mine for a few days consistently and I feel that I'm getting significant relaxation in my feet and relief from a minor case of plantar fasciitis. It also seems very durable!

These balls are hollow. They are stiff enough to stay spherical with only a little pressure but do compress about 35-40% when you put a lot of pressure on them. The spikes themselves stay stiff so even when squished the ball is delivering a massage.

Your mileage may vary. If you have very sensitive feet, this may not be the best massage ball to start with because of the stiffness and number of spikes. I find it very helpful, durable and cheerful. Plus, that color yellow is hard to lose under my desk!


2 out of 5 stars not firm at all   January 22, 2010

i got this thinking it'd be a good option instead of packing up (and possibly losing) my pair of goosebumps, but this is definitely not comparable. while it's prickly (which is good), the ball feels like it's not fully inflated, so i'm not getting a strong massage when i'm rolling it under my aching feet. so disappointing. guess i'll be picking up another pair of goosebumps after all.


3 out of 5 stars May not be fair to the product   May 1, 2009

Believe it or not, I ordered this product for our dog. When we got her, she brought her favorite toy (a blue ball similar to this one). I wanted to make sure that she had more when her favorite one wore out. Not only does she keep it with her faithfully, but she loves to play catch with it at every chance. However, it turns out that the one that she had was actually one of the dryer balls. So this one here was too large and too hard on her teeth to catch. So, I don't feel that my opinion would be fair to the product.
