The massage balls that are available on the market can basically be divided into two main categories. SMR products (self-myofascial release) and trigger point massage products. The JK9 massage ball is basically a trigger point massage ball, which is perfect for both muscular and connective tissue massage. Its surface area, size and hardness make it suitable for effective trigger point treatment, but using the weight of your own body, leaning on the ball, it can be used to massage entire muscles.

Many brands of massage balls such as Beenax Lacrosse, Seleware Peanut, Mobipoint, Deep Tissue, Pliable Beenax Spiky are available in a variety of designs and colours, usually made of some form of plastic. The JK9 massage ball is made from 98% natural rubber, following the tradition that the materials that come into contact with our bodies are best in harmony with those found in nature.
