The Helix flushes out toxins and enhances your back’s range of motion with its anatomical shape. It's designed to protect the spine because we think it's 'kinda important'! Your foam roller definitely can’t do that. Oh, and did we mention it’s also killer on calves, quads, hamstrings and hips?

Lumbar-Fit Precision for a Natural Reset.
The Helix is shaped to match the natural curve of your lower back — the structural base of your upper body. By applying targeted pressure along the lumbar spine, you improve joint motion, stimulate circulation, and help the entire system move more efficiently.
4 simple ways to unlock better movement
The science hiding in a simple shape.
Small Tool.
Smart System.
Follow guided routines that show exactly where to focus, how long to stay, and how to scale pressure using breath and intensity. Precision beats guesswork.

Why Is RAD the Superior SMR Choice?
SMR stands for Self-Myofascial Release, a technique where athletes use tools like the Helix, RAD Roller, and massage sticks to apply pressure to muscles and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) to:
Reduce muscle soreness and tightness
Improve flexibility and range of motion
Increase blood flow and circulation
Speed up recovery after training or competition

Top Choice for Physical Therapists
Designed by Experts
Durable and Portable
The RAD Helix Foam Roller is a compact, spine-friendly recovery tool engineered to deliver targeted myofascial release without the harsh pressure traditional foam rollers place directly on the spine.
Inspired by the natural curve of DNA and designed with a unique double-helix shape, the Helix helps improve mobility, release deep muscle tension, and support healthy movement patterns across the back, hips, neck, calves, quads, and hamstrings.
Unlike oversized foam rollers that flatten across the body, the RAD Helix creates focused pressure along the muscles surrounding the spine while leaving space for the vertebrae.
Physical therapists, chiropractors, athletes, desk workers, and travelers consistently use the Helix for upper back tightness, shoulder blade tension, lower back stiffness, glute discomfort, and post-workout recovery.
Its compact 16-inch design makes it easy to toss in a gym bag, carry-on, or recovery kit without sacrificing performance.
Built from durable high-density foam and ABS materials, the RAD Helix provides firm, controlled pressure while remaining comfortable enough for daily use.
The anatomical shape also allows users to regulate pressure more naturally compared to standard cylindrical foam rollers.
Whether you're recovering after training, improving mobility, addressing posture-related tightness, or searching for a deep tissue foam roller that protects the spine, the RAD Helix is designed to help you move better and recover faster.

Q: What makes the RAD Helix different from a traditional foam roller?
Traditional foam rollers apply broad pressure directly across the spine and surrounding muscles. The RAD Helix uses an anatomical double-helix shape that creates space for the spine while targeting surrounding muscles more precisely.
Q: Is the RAD Helix good for upper back pain and shoulder tension?
Yes. Many users specifically use the RAD Helix for upper back tightness, shoulder blade discomfort, posture-related tension, and stiffness caused by desk work or training.
Q: Can beginners use the RAD Helix?
Yes. Users can easily control pressure by adjusting body weight and positioning, although the targeted pressure may feel more intense than a standard foam roller at first.
Q: Is the RAD Helix good for travel?
Absolutely. The compact size is one of the Helix’s most praised features. It fits easily into carry-ons, gym bags, and recovery kits without the bulk of traditional foam rollers.
Q: What muscles can I use the RAD Helix on?
The RAD Helix is commonly used on the upper back, mid-back, lower back, glutes, hips, hamstrings, quads, calves, neck, and forearms.
Q: Does the RAD Helix help with fascia and mobility?
Yes. The focused pressure helps release tight fascia, improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and support healthier movement patterns and mobility.
Q: Is the RAD Helix safe for the spine?
The Helix was specifically designed to help avoid direct spinal pressure while still targeting surrounding muscle tissue. Its arched center supports safer spinal alignment compared to traditional foam rollers.
Q: What material is the RAD Helix made from?
The RAD Helix is made from durable high-density foam with an ABS core. It is BPA-free and latex-free.
Q: Can I use the RAD Helix every day?
Yes. The RAD Helix is designed for daily mobility work, recovery sessions, and muscle maintenance.
Q: Does the RAD Helix come with workouts or instructions?
Yes. The RAD Mobility App includes guided recovery routines, tutorials, and mobility videos to help users get the most from the Helix.
